Two criticisms old against the Book of Mormon are, first, the book presents a Jewish Lehi seasoned in the Hebrew and the Egyptian to the year 600 BC, his family teaching both languages, when - say critics - Shall only speak Hebrew. And second, is that he and his family offered burnt on an altar outside the Temple of Jerusalem, when, say critics - that the concept of "centrality of worship" of eventually ban Deuteronomy 12 . The discovery of Tel Arad ( see location ) provides strong evidence against both these criticisms: evidence from Hebrew renovated by the Egyptian and that the Jews of Tel Arad God had a temple with an altar for burnt offerings and sacrifices, as the Mosaic law.

reformed Hebrew by egicio in 600 BC at Tel Arad
Tel Arad comes to show that Jews and Egyptians were mixed in the days of Lehi (700-600 BC). In fact, there is a ostracon that shows the Hebrew and Egyptian heriático combined into a single letter, together. Egyptian values \u200b\u200bare put in their Hebrew equivalents in the same jargon (Egyptian suggesting a different, or as the Book of Mormon says, a reformed Egyptian )
The person who wrote this obviously ostracon was familiar with both languages \u200b\u200band comes to bear well, that Lehi taught his children in these two languages: Hebrew and Egyptian.

non-Mormon scholars, both secular and biblical faith have given this evidence:

- Rudolf Cohen - "Did I Excavate Kadesh-Barnea?" in "Biblical Archaeology Review, May / June 1981, pp. 27-29 showing an analysis of the Hebrew ostracon esrito the hieratic. There are combinations [the Egyptian] in numerals and in several Hebrew terms.

Jewish Temple in Jerusalem was the capital for sacrificial in 600 BC at Tel Arad
also Jews from Tel Arad, had their own temple with an altar for burnt offerings to God. It was discovered by famed archaeologist Yohanan Aharoni in 1962.
The temple stood with the inscription "House of the Lord "(House of YHWH). He had incienciarios and a stone altar as a centerpiece. The Temple was only sacrificial purposes. So also the Book of Mormon Lehi shown sacrificing debiesen apparently have been made only in Jerusalem but that given the distance from it, such as in the case of the inhabitants of Tel Arad, were justified (see 1 Nephi 5:9 , 7:22) and were an exception to the centrality of worship in Deuteronomy 12.
