A. An epistle in which the Egyptian scribe penned the following description about Yaa, the name for Israel (ca 2000 BCE). It was a goodly land called Yaa. Figs were in it and grapes, and its wine was more abundant than its water. Plentiful was its honey, many were its olives; all manner of fruits were upon its trees.
