An ancient tablet recently discovered may include the first or oldest recorded mention of the Hebrew name of God (Yahweh).
A folded lead tablet found at Mount Ebal in the West Bank measures only two and a half centimeters wide.
Reports indicate that the tablet contains letters inscribed in the ancient Hebrew language as translated call on God to curse anyone who breaks their word.
Discoverers of the tablet believe that it is more than 3,000 years old, which would make it the oldest human artifact containing the Hebrew name for God.
The tablet was found in December 2019.
While this discovery is extraordinary, the details of this discovery are still being developed and will be revealed later.
