Pt 71 Commentary on Book of Mormon, Lachish Letters

[colorblinddiabetic]

There are all kinds of contradictions and inconsistencies in the Book of Mormon, just like in the Bible, Koran, and most other religious texts.

The Lachish Letters' characters were also a blend of Hebrew in Egyptian type script, or demotic type of characters. The wording also match up with the wording in 1 Nephi. "The house of...." is used to designate lineage of the people mentioned. Take a look at the characters on the Anthon Transcript & the Lachish too. The Biblical Archaeologist, 35, Dec. 1972, #4, p.102, fig.3. Lachish Letter #2, dated 590 B.C. From a drawing by H. Michaud found in the book entitled: Syria, 34 (1957), p.42. Etc.

im enjoying the extra large series lol, where can i find these letters in the Book of Mormon? If thats where they are.

[TheBackyardProfessor]

They aren't in the Book of Mormon. They are archaeologically discovered texts at Lachish which date to the Babylonian destruction 600 B.C.
