Abstract

From the studies on the materiality of writing in the ancient Near East, ways of reflection are presented for the biblical text, understood by the Hebrew tradition as a dwelling place, by virtue of certain features shared by Biblical Hebrew and the mortuary texts of the Ancient Egypt, necessarily in dialogue with a common geographical setting in its genesis with the Proto-Sinaitic, and philological with the Afroasiatic. The passage from the “linguistic turn” to the “ontological turn” that is currently verified in the Social Sciences was what allowed for thousands of years the constant reconstruction of the Hebrew people in the TaNaK and can illuminate us Westerners today with a view to the future that faces the dilemma of the survival of the human species thanks to the magic that the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs still have to give us.
