Abstract
To research the Hebron “Sheep Tablet,” a cuneiform account text recording counts of sheep, goats, and rams, I first found all of the published materials mentioning the text and read them. The tablet is mentioned in seven publications. Finding and reading the published materials was not too difficult; making sense of the paleographic assessments of the tablet text by Anbar and Na’aman (1986), and Rainey (1999) was. To refresh my knowledge on cuneiform, I read C. Walker’s Cuneiform (1987). To make sure that I understood Anbar and Na’aman’s, and Rainey’s paleographic assessments correctly, I conferred with Edward Stratford and Paul Hoskisson on campus, both experts in ancient texts and cuneiform.
