Archaeologists find oldest Hebrew text


In another fascinating story involving biblical archaeology, Reuters reports that Hebrew University archaeologists have uncovered the oldest Hebrew text ever found.

The HU archaeologists said the ancient Hebrew document found at a site known as the Elah Fortress or Khirbet Qeiyafa near the location where David slew Goliath “was written some 3,000 years ago, predating the Dead Sea Scrolls by 1,000 years.”

I love it when we are able to find more proof of the times of the past. I wonder when the unbelievers will ever admit that there is enough evidence to support that the bible is true and seek after the creator leading to their salvation

Amazing. I wonder what they will find in the next hundred years.

I love that we have such a connection to the past and can examine our Scriptures against these surviving texts. They only further confirm the amazing preservation God has maintained for His word through the ages.
