Barkay initially dated the inscriptions to the late-7th/early-6th centuries BCE, but later revised this date downward to the early 6th century on paleographic grounds (the forms of the delicately incised [[paleo-Hebrew]] lettering) and on the evidence of the pottery found in the immediate vicinity. This dating was subsequently questioned by Johannes Renz and Wolfgang Rollig,<ref>Renz, Johannes and Wolfgang Röllig, ''Handbuch der althebräischen Epigraphik'' (Darmstadt: Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft, 1995).</ref> who argued that the script was in too poor a condition to be dated with certainty and that a 3rd/2nd century BCE provenance could not be excluded, especially as the repository, which had been used as a kind of "rubbish bin" for the burial chamber over many centuries, also contained material from the fourth century BCE.
 
A major re-examination of the scrolls was therefore undertaken by the [[University of Southern California]]'s West Semitic Research Project, using advanced photographic and computer enhancement techniques which enabled the script to be read more easily and the paleography to be dated more confidently. The results confirmed a date immediately prior to the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 586/7 BCE.<ref>Barkay, G., A.G. Vaughn, M.J. Lundberg and B.

Tim tahun 2004 menyatakan gulungan-gulungan perak tersebut merupakan "salah satu penempatannya paling signifikan" bagi studi [[Alkitab]].<ref>Barkay, Gabriel, et al., [http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=1094-2076%28200312%2966%3A4%3C162%3ATCOKHU%3E2.0.CO%3B2-L&size=LARGE&origin=JSTOR-enlargePage "The Challenges of Ketef Hinnom: Using Advanced Technologies to Recover the Earliest Biblical Texts and their Context"], ''Near Eastern Archaeology'', 66/4 (Dec. 2003): 162-171.</ref> Selain nilai pentingnya bagi pengetahuan perkembangan [[abjad Ibrani]], gulungan-gulungan itu "melestarikan kutipan-kutipan tertua yang pernah ditemukan dari teks [[Alkitab Ibrani]] dan ... contoh tertua pernyataan pengakuan mengenai Yahweh." Rujukan kepada Yahweh sebagai "Penengking si jahat" ("Rebuker of Evil"), ditemukan pada inkantasi dan jimat-jimat lain kemudian yang berkaitan dengan Israel, adalah bukti bahwa artefak-artefak ini juga jimat-jimat (''amulets'').<ref name=Silver/>
