Ketef Hinnom scrolls.

I'm just learning of this today.
Currently reading on Wiki about it.

"oldest surviving texts currently known from the Hebrew Bible, dated to c. 600 BC.[2] The text, written in the Paleo-Hebrew script (not the Aramaic-derived Jewish square script Hebrew alphabet more familiar to most modern readers), is from the Book of Numbers in the Hebrew Bible, and has been described as "one of most significant discoveries ever made" for biblical studies.[3][4]


IMO, this is more evidence that God and the Bible are true and real. Thoughts??

Its from 600bc so you are looking at a fragment of the (possibly) source material used to make the Babylonian exile "modern" translations as they all got to learn a new language, which then got translated again as the romans and greeks took over, over the next 600 years.

Of course it will match, no question there.

A silver or gold or copper scroll that could be dated to 1000 bc would be significant.

If it weren't for the destruction of Jerusalem we would probably have 100 times as much source material for what was really going on at the time
