JERUSALEM, Feb 4 ― The inscriptions on these tablets are a vital link to the lives of Judeans exiled from Jerusalem to Babylon some 2,500 years ago.

The wedge-shaped tablets were found in Iraq, which was then Babylon, and were acquired by an Israeli collector.

They're currently on show at Jerusalem's Bible Lands Museum.
