  4. Paleo-Hebrew script was the script in use in Israel prior to the Babylonian exile. Since the time of the exile Hebrew has been written in the Aramaic script that we are familiar with today. Nevetheless, the Torah was originally written in a paleo-hebrew script. Archaeologists have dug up several variations of this ancient script, one of which we offer here for your interest, with our thanks and acknowledgement to the author Jack Kilmon:

    Lachish Ostraca script was found on ostraca (pottery fragments) at the biblical site of Lachish. It is very similar to the script found on the Samaritan Ostraca. This download file is available for free and comes as a ZIP file containing a Windows True Type Font TTF file and a Microsoft Word DOC file description of the font. To install the TTF, just click on it after you have extracted it from the ZIP file. Check Jack's site for examples of other ancient scripts.
