The Museum of the Bible in the nation’s capital has opened a new exhibit showing visitors how different faiths come together ahead of Rosh Hashanah.

The exhibit, "Sacred Words: Revealing the Earliest Hebrew Book," displays the oldest Jewish book in the world, the Afghan Liturgical Quire (ALQ).

The medieval manuscript consists of prayers, poems and drawings from the Hebrew Bible with pages of the oldest discovered Passover Haggadah.

Scholars determined the ALQ originates from the 700s, making it the oldest Hebrew book that's intact.

"When you combine the cultural significance and the religious significance and then releasing it during the High Holy Days, it's really a powerful testament to the commitment of the Jewish people. How they've survived over the years, (how) their faith has survived. And, really, the history encapsulated within this 25-page book," Campo said.

The Museum of the Bible first opened in 2017 and recently greeted its 3 millionth guest.

Yet another faked book from the Space Alien worshippers .
Same stories that are found in the earlier really old books and carvings .
All talk about the God's from the Sky coming here , and from the Vedas and then Sanskrit records you readily see here the more local ( Middle East version ) with a few deliberate mistranslations in these Jewish versions .

Best"local" examples of the Elohim / Anunnaki /Nephilim coming from Sumeria and then Egypt .

I don't get why this stuff is always displayed in Washington DC? The city is not remotely central to the country, traffic and parking is insane, everyone there is an atheist, and the place is rife with crime.

That is exactly what I questioned when I first read it. Why Washington DC??? Maybe in Tennessee, Texas, even the Dakotas, but not Washington DC. They are God-haters over there.

There are 57,000 Jews in Washington DC, about eight percent of the population. Catholics make up nineteen percent of the population, and is home to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Sixty percent are non-Catholic Christians.

While there are some very loud atheists in Washington DC, they are greatly outnumbered by people of faith.
