On exhibit in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem are artifacts from the
excavation of a burial plot from the end of the First Temple period. Among
the exhibit is a small thin silver plaque the size of a thumb. Inscribed on
it in Hebrew is the Birkat Kohanim, the priestly blessing we still recite
today.
