The scroll contains Deuteronomy 8:5–10 and Deuteronomy 5:1–6:1. It is believed to be the oldest existing copy of the Ten Commandments.

Deuteronomy 8:5–10 says:

"Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you. Observe the commands of the Lord your God, walking in obedience to him and revering him. For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land—a land with brooks, streams, and deep springs gushing out into the valleys and hills; 8 a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey; 9 a land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills. When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you."

Melissa Giller, chief marketing officer at the foundation and institute, said the ancient scroll would provide deeper insights into Judaism and Christianity.

She said:

It "provides a deeper understanding of the history, culture, and religious practices of ancient Judaism and the early foundations of Christianity."

According to the library, the exhibition of the 10 commandments is a journey through human spirituality.

It says:

"According to biblical narratives in Exodus and Deuteronomy, God revealed the Ten Commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai, inscribing them on stone tablets as guiding principles for the community. These commandments remain central to Abrahamic religions and continue to influence moral and legal traditions worldwide. As the premiere and only West Coast venue, this exhibit is a journey through human spirituality, resilience and the enduring quest for meaning."

Fox News reports that the events would start April 11 and last for two weeks only.

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that a scientist who specialises in astrophysics at Harvard University was set to unveil a mathematical formula to prove that God exists.

The Malaysian astrophysicist Dr Willie Soon said there is a possibility that God exists and noted that this could be proven using mathematics.

He said that through his work and extensive calculations, the equation might hold the solution to bridging the divide between science and religion.
