making it the oldest biblical text after the Dead Sea Scrolls

Not even close. There are many, many New Testament texts older than that. But it is not even true for Old Testament texts.

The Nash Papyrus dates to the 1st to 2nd century B.C. The silver scrolls from Ketef Hinnom date to the late seventh century B.C.

Well-stated. Thank you.

More of secular media's Biblical illiteracy and willful ignorance. It will never, ever end.
