Ancient Tablets Confirm Biblical Account of Jewish Exile in Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon

JERUSALEM – Over 100 tablets that date back to the times of Nebuchadnezzar’s rule in Babylon, now modern-day Iraq, have been placed on display in Jerusalem as a further testament to the reliability of the Scriptures.

The palm-sized tablets, which provide a glimpse into the lives of the Jews during the time they lived in exile in Babylon, had been discovered in Iraq and held by a UK-based Israeli collector. The artifacts contain writing in the ancient akkadian cuneiform script and detail transactions, trades and contracts between Jews in approximately 500 B.C.

They also trace at least one Judean family over four generations: a man named Samak-Yama, his son, grandson and his grandson’s five children. Some of the names cited in the tablets include references to Yah, such as Netanyahu and Shalemiyahu, signifying the name of God, or Yahveh.

100 tablets

Ancient iPads?

Amazing how archeology always confirms the Bible and never contradicts it.

Ancient iPads?

Can't be. The article claims they were palm-sized :)

[Daveinyork]

Muslims have been trying to deny that Jews were in the Holy Land prior to Mohammed, and when they find any evidence of it they destroy it. This confirms that they are wrong.

More archeological confirmation of biblical accounts

Better than iPads.

They’re still readable.

More archeological confirmation of biblical accounts.

Unnecessary. Already convinced.

[xzins]

That’s why the word “more”

No amount of evidence will ever be enough to those who choose to willfully deny the existence of God.

[xzins]

True. But it’s fun for me, and it’s valuable for growing Christians.
