World’s oldest 10 Commandments Stone Tablet sold for US$850,000

The world’s oldest intact stone inscription of the 10 Commandments has reportedly been sold for US$850,000, on the condition that the owner publicly exhibits the ancient tablet. The two foot square marble slab was first uncovered over a century ago in 1930 at the excavation site for a railroad station near Yavneh, Israel, and weighs 115 pounds. It is believed to be the only existing intact tablet version of the Commandments and was inscribed in Samaritan, which is an early Hebrew script.
