Description Merenptah Stele (Israel Stele): the name Israel written in hieroglyphs as it appears on the stele (mirror view) in line 27 (context: Israel is laid waste, his seed is not). Transliteration: y-z-y-r-j-A-r (pair of reeds-door bolt-pair of strokes-mouth-reed-Egyptian vulture-mouth) plus determinatives: enemy-people (throwing stick-man, woman, three strokes). Read as Ysyriar as Egyptians did not differentiate r from l. Determinatives suggest a nation without a state, king or official authority of its own.
