@beyeperfect: The Ketef Hinnom silver scrolls, discovered in a Jerusalem burial cave in 1979, contain the Priestly Blessing from Numbers 6. These fragile amulets, written in paleo-Hebrew script and dated to the 7th century BCE, are the oldest surviving biblical texts ever found. They push back against claims that Scripture was written only after the Babylonian exile, proving that key passages of the Hebrew Bible were already preserved in the First Temple period.
