The Moabite Altar Inscriptions Confirm Biblical Worship
Discovered at Khirbat Ataruz in Jordan, these inscriptions from an ancient Moabite sanctuary date to the 9th century BCE. They contain phrases about ritual offerings and worship practices that parallel biblical descriptions of Moabite religious customs. The pottery vessels and incense burners match exactly what the Bible describes in Moabite worship contexts. These archaeological finds confirm that biblical authors accurately portrayed even the religious practices of Israel’s enemies.
