The decoding results show that this manuscript is written in the oldest Hebrew.

Israeli archaeologists on January 7 said that the 5 lines of inscription on ceramic artifacts were written in the language of the ancient Canaanite. The language has also been used by Hebrews, Filipinos and some other regions.

This ceramic artifact was discovered near the gate of Fort Elah, about 30km west of Jerusalem, in a valley that is said to have occurred between David and Goliath.

According to expert Gershon Galil: "This manuscript is a social statement regarding slaves, widows and orphans . " Both words and ideas are specific to the Hebrew language and society.

The carbon dating method shows that this word appeared in the 10th century BC. So it can be said that the Bible was written a few centuries earlier than currently predicted.

Moreover, the content of the new words is similar to the contents of the Bibles, but it is clearly not copied from any Bible text.
