The Beisan steles are five Ancient Egyptian steles from the period of Seti I and Ramesses II discovered in what was then known as Beisan, Mandatory Palestine by Alan Rowe in the late 1920s and early 1930s.[1][2][3][4]

First stele and second stele

They are known as

  • "First Stele": COS 2.4B[5] / ANET 253-254 (A Campaign of Seti I in Northern Palestine)
  • "Second Stele": COS 2.4D[6] A badly damaged and weathered stele / ANET 255 (Stelae of Seti I and Ramses II)
  • Ramesses Stele: ANET 255 (Stelae of Seti I and Ramses II)

The First Stele of Seti I has been described as "the most impressive find from Egypt’s rule over Canaan".[7]

The first stele is considered to testify to the presence of a Hebrew population: the Habiru, which Seti I protected from an Asiatic tribe.[8][9]

Today they are in the Penn Museum,[10] Philadelphia, and the Rockefeller Archaeological Museum, East Jerusalem.

Other Egyptian / Canaanite steles

Two other important steles from the same period were found in the same area. Today these are both at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem.[11]

Mekal Stele

Limestone Stele of Canaanite God Mekal, 13th C. BCE

One of the steles, discovered in 1928,[12] states that the temple was dedicated to “Mekal, the god, the lord of Beth Shean”;[13] an otherwise unknown Canaanite god – the stele itself is our main source of knowledge about Mekal.[14]

Mekal is seated on a throne, receiving lotus flowers from the builder Amenemapt and his son Paraemheb, holding an ankh and was-sceptre.

Lion Stele

  5. Context of Scripture: FIRST BETH-SHAN STELA, YEAR 1 (2.4B) (Palestine Archaeological Museum, Jerusalem, S.884) "On his campaign in Year 1 (1294 or 1290 BCE), Sethos I probably penetrated as far as Phoenicia. Then on his return southward, he found disturbances in the Beth-Shan district, just south of the Sea of Galilee. The local chiefs of Hammath and Pella (W and E of the Jordan) had blockaded nearby Rehob and seized the important center of Beth- Shan. So the pharaoh sent out three strike-forces: against rebel Hammath, the captured Beth-Shan, and neighboring Yenoam. Beth-Shan is Tell Husn (at modern Beisan), where this stela was found."
  6. Context of Scripture: SECOND BETH-SHAN STELA, [YEAR LOST] (2.4D) (Palestine Archaeological Museum, Jerusalem, S.885A/B) "Regrettably, the year-date is broken away on this monument, but is likely to have been [Year 2 or later]. Again, on his way back south, the king was obliged to quell dissidents, seemingly in Lower Galilee, as his troops "turned back" to deal with the matter. The Apiru are here given the determinative of an armed man; so they were regarded in this case as armed bands by the Egyptians."
