The Translation of the Kuttamuwa Stele

Several days ago I reported on the discovery of the Kuttamuwa Stele. In a recent post, Jim Getz provided a transliteration of the text based on Dennis Pardee’s presentation at the SBL in Boston.

In recent posts, John Hobbins and Duane Smith have offered their transliterations of the text. They also provide their own translation of the text with some notes and observations.

Although both John and Duane say the translation is a work in progress, their translation is very informative.
