Excerpt from Hebrew Inscriptions: From the Valleys Between Egypt and Mount Sinai, in Their Original Characters, With Translations and an Alphabet
History gives us some little information which is of use in judging when these inscriptions were written; at least it tells us when there were Hebrews in Egypt who are likely to have visited this spot after it had gained its character for holiness.
