Jehoiachin's Rations Tablets
Okay kiddo, so do you remember learning about kings and queens? Well, Jehoiachin was a king a long time ago in a place called Babylon. When he was a king, he would give out food and supplies to his people to make sure they were okay.
Now, a long time has passed since then and people found these tablets that had information about the food and supplies Jehoiachin gave out. They call them ration tablets. They are basically little pieces of clay that have words written on them that tell us what kind of food and supplies were given out by the king.
These ration tablets are really important because they tell us what people ate in the past and what life was like back then. It's like a time capsule! Scientists and historians can learn a lot from reading these tablets and studying them.
So even though these ration tablets are just little pieces of clay with some writing on them, they are actually really valuable to help us understand what life was like a long time ago.
