Legumes and Barley
ca. 475 BCE
Greetings, Islah.
Now, I shall dispatch legumes tomorrow. Meet the boat tomorrow on Sabbath. Lest, if they get lost, by the life of YHH, I swear that I will take your life. Do not rely on Meshullemeth or on Shemaiah.
Now, exchange for me barley.
[ . . . ]
You will see my face (in peace) and I shall see your face (in peace).
