History of the Hebrew alphabet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hebrew alphabet is a script that the Aramaic alphabet was derived from during the Persian, Hellenistic and Roman periods (c. 500 BCE – 50 CE). It replaced the Paleo-Hebrew alphabet which was used in the earliest epigraphic records of the Hebrew language.
