What you say is perfectly true. But it would be nice if we had some proof like mention of the brass plates of Laban etc.

Justice, thanks. Don't bother looking for those reference. two other respondents already gave enough references and further suggestions. thanks again Eckhard

Thanks for your reply. Most of it was familiar to me. Do you have any reference to the fact, that metal plates for wrtiting were quite common in antiquity? I have of course heard of the plates of Darius (Persia etc) and seen pictures of it. But do you know of any more cases?

Lehi and his family took with them the Brass Plates of Laban. Laban was presumably the keeper of the plates until then. Someone must have written on the plates of brass, presumbly prophets of assigned scribes. The contained much of what we know as the Old Testament, from the creation to Jeremia, maybe even more than is in the OT. Question: Is there any evidence of the brass plates being kept by the Jews? Any evidence outside the BM. Any secondary sources that confirm their existence? Not just any brass plates or other plates written on metal, but these particular brass plates kept by the Jews in Jerusalem around 600 BC. Background of the question: Gold plates, brass plates etc. are often a subject of ridicule by opponents of the church. If nobody in the forum can answer this question, who can we ask? some professor of ancient scripture at BYU, some other forum maybe? Berlin62

Thanks to all who welcomed me to the forum. :)

Hi, I am new to this forum. I am a genealogist. Tell me a little more detail about the Füschel und Engelhart, especially dates. Maybe I can then give you some ideas to work on. -berlin62
