Discovery of the so-called curse tablet from Mount Ebal

The recent discovery and analysis of the so-called curse tablet from Mount Ebal has generated significant controversy and debate. The tablet, published in a peer-reviewed journal, contains a Paleo-Hebrew inscription dating to the late Bronze Age or the Iron Age I. Scholars have offered varying interpretations of the inscription, which range from it being the first reference to Yahweh to signs of existing writing during that time period. However, the recent publication of critique articles in the Israel Exploration Journal has raised questions about the interpretation and the overall handling of this discovery.
