First-Century

Fishing
Boat
Mast
Sailboats of this
period had only a
mast and “yard,” and
were used near shore
under favorable wind
conditions.
The ishing
technique of this
period required that
ishermen frequently
dive into the water.
Consequently,
ishermen often
worked without
clothing
(see Jn 21:7).
This type of small sailboat was very
common in irst century Galilee; it
was likely the same kind that Jesus’
irst disciples used.
Ancient ishing vessels
were small and not very
stable or maneuverable.

excavated city of Ephesus whose extensive ruins resound with millennia of
history. Take an excursion by boat to the Isle of Patmos where Christ revealed
his apocalyptic vision of the end of days. Visit the ruins of pagan temples once

Pharaoh’s Man, ‘Abdiel: The Vizier with a Semitic Name
Alain Zivie
Two decades ago, Egyptologist Alain Zivie excavated a tomb in Saqqara, Egypt.
Discovering secret passageways and hidden staircases while reinforcing collapsing
chambers, he and his team carefully uncovered the tomb level by level—until they
came face to face with the tomb’s owner himself: ‘Abdiel. The high-ranking ‘Abdiel,
who has a Semitic name, served as a vizier to two pharaohs: Amenhotep III and
his son, Akhenaten. Join Dr. Zivie as he explores ‘Abdiel’s tomb and identity.

Egyptian Papyrus Sheds New Light on Jewish History
Karel van der Toorn
The enigmatic Papyrus Amherst 63 was likely created by the descendants of the
Aramean and Judean soldiers who in the fifth century B.C.E. had been stationed at
the southern Egyptian border. Recorded in a cursive script derived from Egyptian
hieroglyphs, the Aramaic texts of the Amherst papyrus keep challenging what we
know about Aramean religion and the history of the Hebrew Bible.

Khirbet el-Mastarah: An Early Israelite Settlement?
Ralph K. Hawkins
and
David Ben-Shlomo
Hidden in the Jordan Valley, Khirbet el-Mastarah may shed light on early Israelite
origins. The site contains numerous enclosures and structures, which appear to
have been used by a nomadic or semi-nomadic group at the beginning of the Iron
Age (c. 1200 B.C.E.). Archaeologists Ralph K. Hawkins and David Ben-Shlomo
examine the evidence.
ON THE COVER:
The coffin of
the vizier’s
wife, Tauret,
was discovered
inside ‘Abdiel’s
ʿAbdiel,
tomb. With
painted wood,
gold, and glass
inlays, Tauret’s coffin hints at the
importance of her and her husband.
