Wow -- That is much older than the Dead Sea Scrolls then that are estimated at 250 BC .. I looked it up and found this that says 700 BC ? 7th C. BC - Ketef Hinnom Scroll
(Hebrew)
In a tomb at Ketef Hinnom in Israel, the oldest text of the Hebrew Bible was discovered. The text, inscribed on a silver scroll in the old Hebrew script dating to the 7th Century B.C., is the Aaronic blessing (Numbers 6:24-26), which begins, "yeverekh'kha YHWH Vayishmarekha" (May Yahweh bless you and keep you). http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/bible_manuscripts.html

It was with the dead sea scrolls
This is excellent - I did not know about this. Maybe I did but forgot that it was so old. Incredible.
