The Priestly Benediction Numbers 624 26
One of the functions of the priests in the Old Shrine was to bless the people in God's name. The supreme renowned church benediction in the Bible is the one found in Eject 6:24-26:

"The Lady bless you and hang on to you; the Lady make his face to sheen upon you, and be fine to you; the Lady thrill up his story upon you, and hoard you agreement."

The return of the name of Lady in this prayer is to boost that God's objective was to bless his people. While of the prayer's goal on blessing, copious churches bring about adopted this benediction as part of their liturgy.

In 1979, Instructor Gabriel Barkay, an archaeologist at Bar-Ilan Researcher in Israel, excavating on Ketef Hinnom, a hill overlooking the Hinnom Dispatch, southwest of the Old Capital of Jerusalem, naked a grim and found two rebuff silver scrolls containing the script of the church benediction.

At the beginning, some archaeologists alleged the scrolls were from the third or second century B.C. Banish, the use of refined technology and supercomputer supervisor photo-imaging has unrestricted scholars to look up use and cause the words on the scrolls.

This inspection has led Barkay to uncover that the scrolls can be pass to the 7th century B.C. If this look into is correct, this would make the words of the scroll the oldest ongoing chronicle of a biblical script.

A 7th century look into for the scrolls spaces the writings on the scrolls en route for to the time like Nebuchadnezzar in shreds Jerusalem in 587 B.C. and took the people of Judah concerning do away with to Babylon. This look into furthermore would make the words of the scroll 400-450 soul leading than the biblical script of the Belatedly Sea Scrolls.

According to a plug originate from the Israel Ministry of Exotic Family, with the considered opinion of these scrolls, "The word "yhwh "(the name of the Lady in Hebrew) appears in talking for the exceed time ever." To read the details and see a picture of the scrolls, clap offering.
