The Elephantine Papyri are Aramaic legal, administrative and religious documents from a Jewish military garrison on Elephantine island in Upper Egypt, serving the Persian Achaemenid empire. They provide unique testimony about a pre-rabbinic Jewish community with its own temple and religious practices that challenged conventional understanding of early Judaism.
