Quick Overview

The sterling silver necklace's pendant is inscribed in Hebrew with the the Aaronic Blessing.

Oldest Known Fragment of a Biblical Text
Two small 2,600 year old silver scrolls were found in a shoulder of the Hinnom Valley in Jerusalem in 1979. When the scrolls were unrolled, they were 39 mm and 97 mm in length. Two shorter versions of the Aaronic or priestly blessing had been engraved by hand, with the ancient Hebrew script on the thin silver plaques, which were then rolled into scrolls. The full blessing from Numbers 6;24-26 reads:
"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 contenance on you and give you peace."
The oldest manscripts of the Bible, called the Qumran Scrolls, date to the third century B.C. The Hebrew square script in which the Old Testament was written developed approximately 300 years before the Qumran Scrolls. The silver scrolls, with the priestly blessing, originated in the 7th century (during the period of the first Temple).
This priestly blessing, which is meaningful to us, was so significant 2,600 years ago that it was worn around the neck, with a leather strap, close to the heart.
