Is Nehemiah in the Dead Sea Scrolls?

Esther is the only book of the Hebrew Bible not found in the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Recently, a fragment of Nehemiah has been identified as coming from among the Dead Sea Scrolls.


To which civilization do the Dead Sea Scrolls belong?

They belonged to the Jews. It is not settled, but most scholars believe that the group who hid the scrolls were Essenes, a sect of Judaism.


Have the Dead Sea Scrolls all been translated?

No. There are some parts of the scrolls that are either difficult to read or are so fragmented that it is impossible to make out what the words say. However, the vast majority of the Dead Sea Scrolls have been properly identified and translated. The Israel Museum in Jerusalem has an interactive website where you can examine some of the more important scrolls and see their translations. There is a link below.
