So cool…the earliest manuscript we had of the HEBREW bible before the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered dating to 2nd Century BC (BCE).

“it has been suggested that it is, in fact, from a phylactery (tefillin, used in daily prayer)”

“This item was included in the Library’s 600th anniversary exhibition Lines of Thought: Discoveries that changed the world.”

So tiny!

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.”
