Scribe of Egypt

Scribe of Egypt

‎Scribes were vital to functional religion, government, and commerce. In Mesopotamia they mastered cuneiform script and the materials needed to write it, from a reed stylus on clay to metal tools on bronze. Egyptian scribes wrote, painted, or chiseled hieroglyphics on nearly any surface they could use, including cloth. Hebrew scribes usually wrote on parchment or papyrus in a script adapted from the Phoenician alphabet. Some of the earliest examples of Hebrew script are found on pottery fragments called ostraca.
‎2 Sam 20:25, 1 Chr 27:32, Ezra 7:6, Jer 36:26, Acts 23:9, 1 Cor 1:20
