Pockey Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 The Israel Museum welcomes you to the Dead Sea Scrolls Digital Project, allowing users to examine and explore these most ancient manuscripts from Second Temple times at a level of detail never before possible. Developed in partnership with Google, the new website gives users access to searchable, fast-loading, high-resolution images of the scrolls, as well as short explanatory videos and background information on the texts and their history. The Dead Sea Scrolls, which include the oldest known biblical manuscripts in existence, offer critical insight into Jewish society in the Land of Israel during the Second Temple Period, the time of the birth of Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism. Five complete scrolls from the Israel Museum have been digitized for the project at this stage and are now accessible online. http://dss.collections.imj.org.il/ Quote
Moderators John317 Posted September 27, 2011 Moderators Posted September 27, 2011 Wonderful, Sid. Thank you so much. This is outstanding. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
Moderators Kevin H Posted September 27, 2011 Moderators Posted September 27, 2011 Oh Wow!!! Makes me sad I'm not a linguist, but another page has turned in the record books of heaven as this now becomes availble for investigation. I hope those who know Hebrew will take advantage of this and shae with the rest of us!!! Quote
