		By the end of the 3rd millennium BCE the ancestral languages of Aramaic, Ugaritic, and other various Canaanite languages were spoken in the Levant alongside the influential dialects of Ebla and Akkad.
		The earliest extant copies were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, written between the 2nd century BCE and the 1st century CE.

		Grayson's articles point out that Calah was the capital of Assyria during the 9th-7th centuries BCE until it was succeeded by Nineveh which became Assyria's capital during the reign of Sennacherib (BCE) in the 7th century.
		This archaeological anomaly suggests that Genesis could not have been composed in the 7th century BCE because within "living memory" there would be a realization that the city was a recent creation.
		A 7th-6th century Bozrah (the principal building remains are 7th-6th centuries, not 8th) suggests Genesis was composed either in the 6th or 5th century BCE.

		The greatest correlation appears to be with 7th and 6th century BCE Assyrian and Babylonian texts.
		If we view this passage from the perspective of the 7th century BCE, rather than the 10th to the 8th century BCE setting proposed by earlier scholars, several valuable observations may be made: 1) The entire narrative may refer obliquely to a destruction of Shiloh which occurred around 700 BCE rather than 1050 BCE.
		If so, the 7th century BCE would provide a more probable era for the appearance of a classical prophetic literary form which is ingrained in the narrative of I Samuel 3.

		They were excavated at the site of the ancient Philistine city of Ekron in secure 7th century BCE contexts, and their discovery allows us to reinterpret similar finds as currency reserves rather than a jeweler or silversmith's stock-in-trade.
		In the 7th century Ekron had developed into one of the largest olive oil production centers in the Mediterranean, and the sale of its surplus over long distances surely necessitated the use of silver as currency for payments.
		Coins were first struck in Greece in the middle of the 6th century BCE, but references to Solon's laws involving state and private payments strongly argue for the existence of a pre-coinage phase in the monetary history of Attica.
