Best Answer

Thirty-two Deuteronomy scrolls were discovered at Qumran-the text is second only to Psalms in its popularity. The biblical book of Deuteronomy contains Moses' farewell speech to the Israelites, chronicling their history and journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. The text includes teachings of the law and emphasizes God's "covenant" with Israel, a common theme in the Qumran community's writing. This text celebrates the success of some Israelite tribes in occupying territories east of the Jordan river, including the famous passage where God tells Moses to look across the river to see the Promised Land that he will not be permitted to enter.

Was Jesus in the Dead Sea Scrolls?

A:The Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden in a series of caves near Qumran in approximately 70 CE and include material written down over a period of around two hundred years, including copies of earlier Hebrew scriptures.

What is the significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls for Christians?

The Dead Sea Scrolls provided the oldest available manuscripts of the Hebrew scriptures written in their original languages, and allowed scholars to check the accuracy of the Masoretic texts used by Judaism, as well as the accuracy of the Septuagint, an early Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures. Whenever the Septuagint seemed to favour Christianity, when compared with the Masoretic texts, Christian apologists had accused the Jews of altering their own holy scriptures to disadvantage Christianity. The Dead Sea Scrolls showed that the Masoretic texts were little changed from the scriptures in use early in the first century CE. This proved that most discrepancies between the Septuagint and the Masoretic texts were the result of mistranslations by the authors of the Septuagint.
