Definition: The word "tdmine" refers to a device used in ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform writing, specifically in the tablets made from clay. It was typically associated with the Talmudic tradition, where it served as a tool for making scribes and codexes. The term is often compared to the Hebrew word "tevachim" (talmah) which translates to "book seal," referring to a symbol on the bottom of a tablet that was used to seal the text and make it legible. This device allowed writing to be easily added or removed from a book, making it an essential tool for early textual recording. The word is frequently referred to in religious texts, where it is often associated with divine inspiration, as in the Book of Exodus, where Moses is said to have used this device when he wrote the Ten Commandments.
