Ketef Hinnom
One of a series of rock-hewn burial caves at Ketef Hinnom ("shoulder of Hinnom") near Jerusalem is an archaeological site in Israel that is most famous for the recovery in 1979 of two silver scrolls that were used as amulets, inscribed with portions of the well-known apotropaic Priestly Blessing of the Book of Numbers.
