Why was the Hebrew Tanakh incorporated into Christianity?
This question will be answered differently by Jews and Christians. The Jewish view is that, since Christianity saw itself as an improved continuation of Judaism, it included the (translated) Tanakh (Old Testament) in its scriptures in an effort to show a long and noble history beginning with the Hebrew Patriarchs and the Revelation at Sinai. Judaism believes that such an effort is not genuine, since Christianity departed from Jewish tradition, and changed sufficiently as to no longer be connected to the Tanakh.

The story of the miracle of the oil is found in the Jewish Talmud, in a passage written in the 3rd Century.

What do the Dead Sea Scrolls tell about Judaism?
They show us that the Jewish scriptures have not changed. The part of the Tanakh (Jewish bible) that was found in Qumran, as part of the Dead Sea Scrolls, is 99.9% the same as the Tanakh that Jews read today. This shows that in over 2000 years, the texts have not changed. This is not surprising as certainly with the Torah, the five books of Moses, Jews are forbidden to alter it even by a single letter. And any Torah scroll with even a tiny error must be discarded. The Dead Sea Scrolls also provide us with historical information about the period in which they were written, the third century BCE to the first century CE. They help us understand who the different Jewish groups were in the Second Temple period, what they believed and how they practiced Judaism. They are clues to the development of rabbinic Judaism which has influenced the Jewish religion until today.
