00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,936
Paleo-Hebrew was ancient Israel’s early alphabet, written right to left.

2
00:00:05,936 --> 00:00:09,317
It renders Moses as Mem, Shin, He—M-Sh-H.

3
00:00:09,317 --> 00:00:13,852
Old pictographs hint: Mem water, Shin tooth, He behold.

4
00:00:13,852 --> 00:00:18,964
These echoes suit the tale: drawn from water, called at Sinai.

5
00:00:18,964 --> 00:00:25,395
Surviving Paleo-Hebrew appears on ostraca, seals, and coins—not Exodus papyri.

6
00:00:25,395 --> 00:00:30,589
Later, square Hebrew replaced it, but M-Sh-H still reads Moshe.
