I have uploaded a private camera version of this lecture before but this one is better quality and includes more, even though the lighting is dark right at first. I am "resurrecting" some of these older lectures because they not only capture the times--but also cover materials that I have not touched upon in many years. This one was done in 2006. All the handouts and references are now found at https://jamestabor.com. Just do a search for "Hebrew Matthew."
Note: Since this lecture was given much more research has been done on Howard's work, which depended on only a few copies of the text of Rabbi Ibn Shaprut (for whom a street is named in Jerusalem). Nehemia Gordon and Keith Johnson have consulted all extant copies or manuscripts and have offered an ongoing highly detailed study on Youtube that I highly recommend--see https://youtu.be/scgrkwxil68
This lecture was part a Biblical Archaeology Society seminar, publishers of the premiere archaeology magazine, Biblical Archaeology Review. It is used with permission.
I encourage viewers to subscribe to the incredible BAS Library, with thousands of articles, books, and videos. There is nothing like this rich archive that covers every major topic and discovery for more than 40 years. Unlimited access to the library is available for a small annual subscription price, see: https://www.baslibrary.org.
