the caves of the scrolls

The area around Qumran, the Dead Sea and Masada breathes the history of our culture: here the famous script-rolls have been found.The documents contain over 100 copies of the books of the Hebrew Bible, most of which survived only as fragments. Out of 24 books all except the Book of Ester are represented. Fragments of Septuagint text have been also identified, some of them evidently the oldest documents of this kind.
