Israelite Psalms in an Egyptian Papyrus? (biblicalarchaeology.com)

 

This document, Papyrus Amherst 63 is thought to contain 3 psalms, one of which occurs in the Bible as Psalm 20. It contains God’s name.

I notice the document dates back to the 4th centuary BCE and is pretty word perfect in accordance with our modern day bible - just not put into modern day language like our lovely NWT.

very faith strengthening - thanks!

It’s a close fit for Ps 20 alright. Interesting read.

I read this article yesterday and it is pretty interesting. This papyrus is written in Aramaic and Hebrew. Rolf Furuli will discuss this more in this in his new book. The book should be entitled "The Tetragrammaton , Its History, Its Place in the New Testament, Its Pronunciation." It should be released in July or August 2018.
