The oldest marble slab with biblical commandments went under the hammer.


The oldest marble slab with 10 biblical commandments was sold at auction in New York for $5 million. This was reported by ABC News.
According to Sotheby's, the slab was found near the city of Yavne in Israel in 1913. It was made between 300 and 800 AD and weighs approximately 52 kg.
The text on the slab is written in paleohebrew and contains the ten commandments of Moses, recorded in the Samaritan version. The third commandment about the prohibition of using God's name in vain is absent, but the importance of Mount Gerizim for Samaritan Judaism is emphasized.
Initially, this discovery was not considered historically significant. The auction house Sotheby's does not disclose the name of the buyer of the slab.
