Dead Sea Scroll

The Dead Sea Scrolls are ancient Jewish and Hebrew religious manuscripts that were found in the Qumran Caves in the Judaean Desert, near Ein Feshkha on the northern shore of the Dead Sea in the West Bank, and the last discovered scrolls found in the Cave of Horror in Israel. In the larger sense, the Dead Sea Scrolls include manuscripts from additional Judaean Desert sites, dated as early as the 8th century BCE and as late as the 11th century CE. Most of the texts use Hebrew, with some written in Aramaic, and a few in Greek. Discoveries from the Judaean Desert add Latin and Arabic texts. Most of the texts are written on parchment, some on papyrus, and one on copper.
