Yeah, I thought so too.researcher said:Nick_29 said:Thanks researcher. I'm still a bit confused though - are the scrolls incorporated into the Bible? Or do they just contain things that are already in the Bible? What is the Hebrew Bible? (I'm thinking that's the Old Testement / Torah?)
Hi Nick. I believe the scrolls were found (1900's?) a long time after the Canon we have now was accepted/formed.
I believe they use some of the scrolls to compare them to our current Bible. I think to some researchers they are important to see what was going on in life (and religion) back then. As for the Hebrew Bible, yeah, I think that is the OT.
Thanks so much for the clarifycation!

toddm said:The Dead Sea Scrolls are of great significance verifying the accuracy of transmission in the OT. The entire book of Isaiah is in the DSS and only differs in 17 letters from the Leningrad Codex (dated around 1000 AD, which is about 1100-1200 yrs after the DSS were written!) The copyist accuracy is incredible! Familiarizing yourself w/ some of the details of the DSS is a great apologetic for defending the accuracy and reliability of Scripture.

P.S. Yes, I know Prometheus didn't steal "thunder"... but I had to try...
