Tanakh at Qumran

Tanakh at Qumran

The Tanakh is the Hebrew Bible and Qumran is an archaeological site near the Dead Sea. More than two hundred portions of the Tanakh have been found near Qumran, forming part of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The scrolls were found in a series of caves, which have since been numbered, and these numbers used in the reference name of each scroll portion. For example 4Q108 is a fragment of a scroll from Cave 4, it is the 108th listed manuscript from that cave. More than half of the Tanakh portions from Qumran are from Cave 4.

The Dead Sea Scrolls in general are Hebrew language manuscripts, written in Assyrian Block script (90—95%). Some, however, were written in the Paleo-Hebrew alphabet. A few biblical manuscripts were written in Greek uncial script and appear to be copies of the Septuagint text. Nearly all the scrolls were written on vellum, however there are a few papyri. Although not a biblical text, one scroll (3Q15) was actually inscribed on copper.
