An archaeological discovery in 1979 revealed a verse from Numbers 6:24-26 , appeared to be the earliest biblical passage ever found in ancient artifacts.
The amulet scroll can now be seen in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
Here are some web sights that talk about this wonderful discovery.
Click here to view three websites on this discovery.
The Lord bless thee and keep you;
The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
(Num. 6:24,25)
(the earliest occurrence of a Biblical text in an extra-
Biblical document, predating the earliest of the Dead Sea Scrolls. It is the oldest extra-Biblical reference to YHWH, the jGod of Israel. It dates from the 7th century BCE and was found in 1979.)
