The Ketef Hinnom amulet, found in Old Jerusalem, dated to around 600 BC; is the oldest record of a biblical text ever found, in this case the priestly blessing of Numbers 6:24–26:[324×476]
The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace
