Nebo-Sarsekim Tablet – A Bridge Between Archaeology and the Bible

Discover the remarkable Nebo-Sarsekim tablet—a clay cuneiform artifact from ancient Babylon, measuring just 5.5 by 3.5 cm. This small tablet bears the administrative record of a Babylonian official named Nebo-Sarsekim (Nabu-sharrussu-ukin), whose name is found in the Book of Jeremiah, offering a tangible link between biblical text and Near Eastern archaeology.

Biblical Connection:The tablet references Nebo-Sarsekim, chief eunuch of King Nebuchadnezzar II, as mentioned in Jeremiah 39:3:

“All the officials of the king of Babylon came and took seats in the Middle Gate: Nergal-Sharezer of Samgar, Nebo-Sarsekim a chief officer, Nergal-Sharezer a high official, and all the other officials of the king of Babylon.” (Jeremiah 39:3, NIV)
