A:

2 Kings 22:8: "And Hilkiah the high priestsaid unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it."

On the face of it, there would have been a surprising level of negligence for such a sacred book to be allowed to lie hidden for so many centuries. In fact, biblical scholars say this book, the Book of Deuteronomy, was not so much rediscovered, but written and placed in to Temple so that it could be "found" there and declared an ancient manuscript.

Who found for the temple a copy of the law of Moses?

According to 2 Kings 22:8 priests found a book of law in the Jerusalem temple during the renovations undertaken during the reign of King Josiah. Biblical scholars say this book, the Book of Deuteronomy, was not so much rediscovered, but written and placed in the Temple so that it could be "found" there and declared an ancient manuscript. A very similar case is reported in the Book of Jeremiah some years later, demonstrating that this would not be the only case in which a document was hidden then 'found' by the priests.For more information on the second book of Law, please visit:http://christianity.answers.com/bible/the-book-of-deuteronomy
