Résumé
The paper traces the semantic development of the lexeme *lwḥ in ancient Northwest Semitic languages from Ugaritic to Qumran Hebrew, via Classical and Late biblical Hebrew, in view of epigraphic Hebrew, Aramaic, and Phoenician. It is demonstrated, in comparison to other terms of writing, that in Ugaritic the term denotes letters; in CBH its usage is limited to a fixed literary idiom referring mainly to the Tablets of the Covenant; LBH practically abandons the lexeme; and QH revives the classical idiom, turning it into a medium for eternal, primordial knowledge and law.
