Buying a Calf
498 BCE
One calf, two years old, white, the top of its humpback is cleft (?). Haraa, daughter of Talimmu, sold to Neriyama, son of Ahiyakam, for 23 shekels of white silver, 1/8 per shekel impure, of average quality, unstamped, at the fixed price. Yahu-azari, son of Abdu-Yahu, accepts responsibility for future claims concerning one calf, two years old…
The same Nir-Yama (Neriah) buys a calf from a woman and Yahu-azari son of Abdu-Yahu (Jehoezer son of Abdiah) guarantees the sale. The document was written in Judahtown in 498 BCE.
