The diplomatic letters from Amarna, Mari and Ugarit are among some of the oldest extant documents on diplomacy. They show a vast array of linguistic and cultural features proper to the covenantal language of Ancient Near Eastern documents from the 2nd millennium BCE. These features are closely related to selected actions, words and background information found in the Hebrew Bible (HB). The present article explores characteristics of these diplomatic texts, presenting features that are pertinent to the study of the Hebrew Bible. It concludes, probing the potential parallelism between them, with particular cases representing similar cultural phenomena found between potential parallel texts.
