I'm watching episode 15 of Osamu Tezuka's [_In the Beginning: The Bible
Stories_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Beginning:_The_Bible_Stories)
out of curiosity. In both this episode and episode 23, we see what appears to
be the stone inscriptions of the ten commandments, in something that looks
like Hebrew. (Click for bigger image.)

[![tablet from episode

I was wondering if these are actually reasonably "correct" Hebrew
inscriptions, given that I've seen placeholder texts in animated books that
had nothing to do with the actual in-universe meaning of the books (e.g. RPG-
related material in alchemy books in the 2003 FMA).

I would assume that this _is_ correct, but I had extremely little success
trying to cross-check with either text in Hebrew [here](http://www.mechon-
mamre.org/p/pt/pt0220.htm) or [here](http://www.mechon-
mamre.org/p/pt/pt0505.htm), particularly since I don't know Hebrew.

Might anyone know the answer to this?

Are these Hebrew inscriptions actually "correct"?


They are ask real words (in the top picture, it's kind of hard to read the
second one). I don't really know how to prove it though. The big, bold words
mean vertical, no, no, and trapped in that order going down. The rest is
religious about g-d. Sorry if that doesn't answer the question fully.

The left hand picture, is the exact original Hebrew text from the ten
commandments in the bible, but only the first two or three words from each
commandment. It is very usual to depict only the first few words on Hebrew
drawings of the Tablets.

[code]

    "I am the L-d your G-d
    You shall not have another god over me
    You shall not carry G-d's name [in vain]
    Remember the day of [Shabbath...the rest is off the photo edge]"
    
[/code]

The right hand picture is complete gibberish.
