    The Dead Sea Scrolls: The Scrolls and the Biblical Text

    What do the Dead Sea Scrolls tell us about the biblical text? It's important to note that among the scrolls we have at least fragments from each and every book of the Hebrew Bible, with the exception of the book of Esther. We also have the entire book of Isaiah, all 66 chapters, as well as a partial copy of the same text. Furthermore, enhanced carbon dating techniques, which make it possible to conclusively place the great bulk of these biblical texts in the first two centuries B.C.E. The very existence of the scrolls opens a window on the text of the Bible that predates all other copies of the sacred books by more than 1,000 years...https://ypsnetiv.org Music SONG The Arid Land ARTIST Sir Cubworth ALBUM LICENSES YouTube Audio Library

    The Dead Sea Scrolls: The Copper Scroll Saga

    Very little serious archaeology involves the adventure and raw excitement of an Indiana Jones adventure. But among the items found by archaeologists in the year 1952, in a cave not far from the Dead Sea, was a most unusual scroll, made not of parchment but of copper. It’s time for the real-life saga of the Copper Scroll! https://ypsnetiv.org Music SONG The Arid Land ARTIST Sir Cubworth ALBUM LICENSES YouTube Audio Library

    The Dead Sea Scrolls: Songs of Sabbath Sacrifices

    The Dead Sea Scrolls shed new light on the unique genre of ancient Jewish mysticism, known as kabbalah, which until now has only been preserved in documents dating from early medieval times. Of course, the contents of this literature are far older, and were certainly passed down by word of mouth, long before being recorded in medieval sources. Now, thanks to a single Dead Sea Scroll, we have a clear reference to the kind of mysticism called in Hebrew merkavah, referring to chariot-throne of God.https://ypsnetiv.org Music SONG The Arid Land ARTIST Sir Cubworth ALBUM LICENSES YouTube Audio Library

    The Dead Sea Scrolls: Psalms and Commentary

    Beyond ancient copies of the Hebrew Bible and commentaries on the Bible, the Dead Sea Scrolls contain a wealth of original, sectarian writings. For example there are a number of previously unknown non-biblical psalms, scattered across a scroll containing the standard Psalms from the Hebrew Bible. Additionally, there is yet another scroll, one of the original scrolls discovered by the Bedouin in 1947, comprising an entire book of extra-biblical psalms. The literary plot only thickens…   https://ypsnetiv.org Music SONG The Arid Land ARTIST Sir Cubworth ALBUM LICENSES YouTube Audio Library

    The Dead Sea Scrolls: Dead Sea Commentaries

    Amazing, that as well-known as the Dead Sea Scrolls are, relatively few people have any idea of what's in them. Basically, we can break down the contents of the scrolls into a few categories. We have: scripture, hymns, ordinances and laws, and apocrypha and pseudepigrapha, along with a few miscellaneous texts. Aside from this unique cache of biblical books, there are also a significant number of commentaries on the Bible, focusing on prophecy and the “end of the world.”https://ypsnetiv.org

    The Dead Sea Scrolls: The War Scroll

    The Dead Sea sect was consumed with the idea that the end was near, that human history would cease with the immanent appearance of a messianic age. First, however, there would be a great time of trial, involving a terrible conflict between the forces of good and evil. One of the most fascinating of the dead sea scrolls, also among the original discovery of 1947, describes this final conflict. It’s known as the War Scroll. https://ypsnetiv.org Music The Arid Land Song 1 of 2 Early Avril Song 2 of 2 ARTIST Sir Cubworth ALBUM The Arid Land LICENSES YouTube Audio Library

    The Dead Sea Scrolls: The Temple Scroll

    An incredibly important ancient scroll was found early on during the rush to comb the Dead Sea caves, following the initial discovery of scrolls by the Bedouin. It was discovered in situ in 1956, in what came to be known as Cave 11. But it didn’t come to light until the late 1970s. That was when Israeli archaeologist Yigael Yadin, who procured it from Kando after the 1967 Six Day War, finally published a massive translation of the text, with voluminous commentary. It is known simply as the Temple Scroll. https://ypsnetiv.org Music The Arid Land Song 1 of 2             Early Avril Song 2 of 2               ARTIST Sir Cubworth ALBUM The Arid Land LICENSES YouTube Audio Library
