Best Answer

None of The Bible is based on the Dead Sea Scrolls as originals. The Scrolls consisted of copies of many of the existing books of the Old Testament, plus a number of secular documents containing rules and administrative procedures of the community at the Dead Sea. The principal value of the Scrolls is that they enable scholars to see what the books of the Old Testament actually said up to the time in the first century when they were hidden, and what changes have occurred since that time.
