Must have been the descendants of Moses .... 700 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

      You're welcome. I am fascinated by the age of the Hebrew language and Aleph Bet - especially when I heard that God (YHVH) actually used these letters to create the Universe.

      I have heard this also. It's from the sefer ha Zohar.

        Rabbinic Judaism calculated a lifespan of Moses corresponding to 1391–1271 BCE. So this scroll would have been 700 years after Moses and 700 years before the time of Jesus.
