Inscriptions serve as significant historical and theological markers within the biblical narrative, providing insight into the culture, language, and religious practices of ancient times.<br><br><b>Old Testament Inscriptions</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, inscriptions are often associated with monumental architecture and religious artifacts. One notable example is the inscription on the tablets of the Ten Commandments. According to <a href="/exodus/31-18.htm">Exodus 31:18</a>, "When He had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses the two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God." These inscriptions are foundational to the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, emphasizing the divine origin and authority of the Law.<br><br>Another significant instance is the inscription on the altar built by the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. In <a href="/joshua/22-10.htm">Joshua 22:10-34</a>, the altar serves as a witness between the tribes, inscribed with the purpose of maintaining unity and faithfulness to the Lord.<br><br><b>New Testament Inscriptions</b><br><br>In the New Testament, inscriptions play a crucial role in the events surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The most prominent inscription is the one placed above Jesus' head on the cross. <a href="/john/19-19.htm">John 19:19-20</a> states, "Pilate also had a notice posted on the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, Latin, and Greek." This trilingual inscription highlights the universal significance of Jesus' kingship and the fulfillment of messianic prophecies.<br><br><b>Archaeological Inscriptions</b><br><br>Archaeological discoveries have unearthed numerous inscriptions that corroborate biblical accounts and provide additional context. The Moabite Stone, also known as the Mesha Stele, is an inscription by King Mesha of Moab that mentions the Israelite king Omri, aligning with the biblical narrative in <a href="/bsb/2_kings/3.htm">2 Kings 3</a>. Similarly, the Siloam Inscription, found in Hezekiah's Tunnel in Jerusalem, describes the construction of the tunnel mentioned in <a href="/2_kings/20-20.htm">2 Kings 20:20</a> and <a href="/2_chronicles/32-30.htm">2 Chronicles 32:30</a>.<br><br><b>Theological Significance</b><br><br>Inscriptions in the Bible often serve as tangible reminders of God's promises, judgments, and acts of salvation. They underscore the importance of memory and testimony in the life of faith. <a href="/deuteronomy/6-9.htm">Deuteronomy 6:9</a> instructs the Israelites to inscribe God's commandments on their doorposts and gates, symbolizing the integration of divine law into daily life.<br><br>Inscriptions also reflect the permanence and unchanging nature of God's word. <a href="/isaiah/30-8.htm">Isaiah 30:8</a> commands, "Go now, write it on a tablet for them, inscribe it on a scroll, that for the days to come it may be an everlasting witness." This highlights the enduring relevance and authority of divine revelation.<br><br>In summary, inscriptions in the Bible serve as vital historical and theological elements, providing insight into the ancient world and reinforcing the enduring truths of Scripture.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
