I have a sculpture my wife and I acquired in a storage auction. It has writing on it, that appears to be in Hebrew. The gold lettering, we were able to determine is Christopher Columbus' signature.
If anyone can read this or can help point me in the right direction of someone who can, I'd really appreciate it.

__________________ 1Ch 25:5 all these were sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to exalt his power;Hozeh ("seer") also means "to see" or "to perceive," but is also used in reference to musicians. It is also used to describe a counselor or an advisor to a king. The Hebrew does not necessarily indicate that the person is a prophet, but rather an advisor—someone who has wisdom.
It means "one who has insight." Hence, the essential meaning in Greek is "interpreter."
