Execration Texts List Biblical Cities
These Egyptian magical texts from the 19th-18th centuries BCE contain curses against enemies, including numerous Canaanite cities mentioned in the Bible. Places like Jerusalem, Shechem, and Ashkelon appear on clay figurines and pottery fragments. These texts confirm biblical locations existed exactly when and where Scripture places them. Unlike mythological settings, biblical geography receives consistent verification through independent Egyptian sources dating centuries before the Israelite conquest.
