    Owning it, but also inappropriately making player / personnel decisions

    They basically were the receivers of stolen goods. Along with some pretty deliberate customs fraud. And it was for a private religious collection, but I'm thinking they got rooked on that. If I remember correctly Cuneiform goes out of style sometime around 800 B.C. It's possible there is some early Jewish writing in it but given how few tablets have been translated, I doubt those are ancient biblical texts. So all in all, Hobby Lobby broke a couple of laws so they could get scammed.

    Cuneiform was still in use up until late Hellenic period along the Euphrates. With a few hangers on up to the beginning of the 1st century CE.

    And yeah it would be extremely unlikely to have any bearing on early hebrews. I mean in theory they might get some administrative records from the time of Nebuchadnezzar. But the conquest of Judea in his time was such a minor thing from the point of view of the Babylonians it is unlikely it anything would even mention them.

    The user manual https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/A1VjXVWktnL.pdf for the CD player notes that polarity markings must match the graphic on the DC input:
