The
Dead Sea Scrolls
, in the narrow sense of
Qumran Caves Scrolls
,
are a collection of some 981 different
texts
discovered between 1946 and 1956 in eleven caves from the immediate vicinity of the ancient settlement at
Khirbet Qumran
in the
West Bank
. The caves are located about 2 kilometres inland from the northwest shore of the
Dead Sea
, from which they derive their name.
The texts are of great historical, religious, and linguistic significance because they include the third oldest known surviving
manuscripts
of works later included in the
Hebrew Bible canon
, along with
deuterocanonical
and extra-biblical manuscripts which preserve evidence of the diversity of religious thought in late
Second Temple Judaism
. There are only two silver
scrolls
which contain biblical text and are older than the Dead Sea Scrolls; The silver scrolls were excavated in Jerusalem at
Ketef Hinnom
and date from around 600 BCE. A burnt piece of
Leviticus
dating from the 5th century has recently been analyzed and is the fourth oldest piece of the Torah known to still exist.
Most of the texts are written in
Hebrew
, with some in
Aramaic
(in different regional dialects, including
Nabataean
), and a few in
Greek.
If discoveries from the
Judean desert
are included,
Latin
(from
Masada
) and
Arabic
(from
Khirbet al-Mird
) can be added.
[6]
Most texts are written on
parchment
, some on
papyrus
and one on
copper.
The larger consensus is that the Qumran Caves Scrolls date from the last three centuries BCE and the first century CE (see "Age" paragraph in this article and the dedicated site of the
Israel Museum
). Bronze coins found at the same sites form a series beginning with
John Hyrcanus
(135–104 BCE) and continuing until the
First Jewish–Roman War
(66–73 CE), supporting the radiocarbon and
paleographic
dating of the scrolls.
[8]
Manuscripts from additional Judean desert sites go back as far as the eighth century BCE to as late as the 11th century CE.
