JERUSALEM — Scientists using American space technology have started a huge project to digitally photograph the Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest known version of the Hebrew Bible, and post it on the Internet for all to see, Israeli authorities said Wednesday.

High-tech cameras using infrared photography are being used to uncover sections of the 2,000-year-old scrolls that have faded over the centuries and become indecipherable, the Israeli Antiquities Authority said.

The project is expected to take about five years and the goal is to make the scrolls accessible to scientists and the general public, Antiquities Authority official Pnina Shor said.

"Now for the first time the scrolls will be a computer click away," said Shor, who heads the authority's department responsible for the conservation

This will ensure that the scrolls are preserved for another 2,000 years."

Experts have complained for years that only a small number of scholars have been allowed access to the scrolls and the thousands of fragments that were found in caves near the Dead Sea in the late 1940s. In recent years, steps have been taken to widen access, but many of the findings are still not properly identified and categorized.

  1. Yes I cant wait/

    tGod bless


  2. Well, if an English translation accompanied it, I would.

  3. Yes! Why not. They definitely prove that all the Scriptures were written

    in Hebrew & then later translated to Greek & other languages as the

    need arose.

  4. I am looking forward to it.  I expect that they will be overwhelmed with hits.

  5. I'll add them to my collection of references.  I cannot read much even of Greek though and only a word or two in Hebrew as yet.

  6. Yes ma'am

  7. I can only assume that these will be the scrolls and portions of scrolls that the religious establishment have determined aren't threatening to their church dogma (and, by extension, their revenue streams). Those that are have already been hidden away or destroyed.

  8. I've read parts of the copper scroll, it's on the internet already.  I'd be interested in looking at whatever they publish.

  9. I guess I better get more diligent with my learning Hebrew then.

  10. Yes, I will.

    Thank you for this information.

  11. It was my understanding that they would be posted in english with-in a few months. Yes I'm very excited!!! I intend to read them if they are in English.  

  12. Absolutely!  The Dead Sea Scrolls verify that the "New Testament" was originally written in Hebrew, not Greek, as the early "church" has claimed and lied about for centuries.

    In fact, that was why the scrolls were originally hidden.  The Jews didn't want the Romans or Greeks to get their scriptures, so many were hidden for that reason.

    It's interesting and exciting to learn about!

  13. Perhaps it is time to learn a second and/or third language? Yes!

  14. Hi, Crimmy:

    They are already available in common languages but this is the original languages for scholars.

    Because I don't understand Hebrew, I'll stick with my English one.

    Interestingly, there are no significant variations from our Bible to support the perversions suggested by some cults who have their own translation or "book of clarification."

    All translations have the same numbers which are encoded until the end of the days and prove Jesus is the Messiah. Yes, God has protected His word: http://abiblecode.com

    Shalom, peace in Jesus, Ben Yeshua

  15. well those been out, as justagirl pointed. :)

  16. I'll wait for the movie.


  17. It is the LDS Hi-tec cameras that will do this for you and yes, I have already read the Thanksgiving Scroll

  18. I'd have a look at it, but I wouldn't understand much.

    Edit: Devoted, please think twice about what you say ... do you mean letters directed to gentile Christians were written in HERBEW? How would they have understood it then? Why would Paul, who knew Greek well, write in Hebrew to someone who doesn't even speak Hebrew? Does that make sense to you? To me it doesn't.

    plus... what do the dead see scrolls have to do with the NT?

  19. I already own the book, so no.

    I think it's great, though.

  20. I have read the translated texts as they have become available. I think many mainstream religions will find more questions than answers.
