  1. Lachish letters

    The Lachish Letters Hoshaiah Letters are a group of letters written in carbon ink in Ancient Hebrew on clay ostraca . The individual ostraca probably come from the same broken clay pot and were most likely written in a short period of time. They were written to Joash, possibly the commanding officer at Lachish modern Tell ed Duweir , from Hoshaiah, a military officer stationed in a city close to Lachish possibly Mareshah . In the letters, Hoshaiah defends himself to Joash regarding a letter he either was or was not supposed to have read. The letters also contain informational reports and requests from Hoshaiah to his superior. The letters were probably written shortly before Lachish fell to the Babylonian army in 588 6 BC during the reign Zedekiah , king of Kingdom of Judah Judah ref. Jeremiah 34 7 . The ostraca were discovered by J.L. Starkey in January February, 1935 during the third campaign of the Wellcome excavations. They were published in 1938 by Harry Torczyner name later changed to Naftali Herz Tur Sinai and have been much studied since then. They are currently located in the British Museum in London.
