How odd

The book was found open to a page describing, in Latin script, Psalm 83, in which God hears complaints of other nations' attempts to wipe out the name of Israel.

Sounds like BS tbh, as I can't find another story about that part except where it is written by the same person.

No matter what page this book was found open on (if any) it would have stirred people into claiming 'prophesy'. Superstition tbh.

Whats a backhoe?

The psalm it was opened at was psalm 83 in the Vulgate, which is not the psalm 83 of the King James Bible (the one which is about other nations attacking Israel). As I posted elsewhere.

The museum said "part of Psalm 83 is legible." however the bibles numbering is different to modern day bibles and the number refers to the Vale of tears.

They never mentioned anything about Israel. Appears that bit originated from a US reporter.
