The Hebrew script, written from right to left, is one of the most ancient alphabetic scripts in the world. The first Hebrew inscriptions date back 3000 years, and are written in letters similar to those of Phoenician script.
More details can be found in section 3 of [Proposal].
For methodology and contributors see sections 4 and 8 of [Proposal].
