Reply To: Billam's Other Prophecy: The Deir Alla Inscription

Archeologist think that Deir Alla is the same as Petor (i.e. Billam’s hometown).

The language appears to be an aramaic/hebrew mix. I am trusting the archeologists on what the letters are (the script used is unrecognizable to me).

I don’t think it is the same Maamad, there aren’t any real connections between the Billam’s prophecies in the Torah and the ones in this text. It probably takes place before the story in the Torah (only because Billam didn’t live very long afterward.)
