Yes .... Some of the oldest copies of the Torah (fragments) have been found in caves at the Dead Sea. They are not certain who stored these scrolls but it is likely it was a sect called the Essenes. Some people say that John the Baptist and even Jesus spent time with the Essenes at the Dead Sea and on Mount Carmel.
There has been much debate about the origin of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The dominant theory remains that the scrolls were the product of a sect of Jews living at nearby Qumran called the Essenes, but this theory has come to be challenged by several modern scholars.
Robert Eisenman has advanced the theory that some scrolls describe the early Christian community. Eisenman also argued that the careers of James the Just and Paul the Apostle correspond to events recorded in some of these documents....
It is common knowledge that any paper which has YHVH written on it should not be burned, trown away, shredded, etc. I was always under the impression that the older scrolls were kept in a place where they were not be discarded in an aweful way.
its that true its mean its have to care and respect where ever had written can't disrespect or discarded ..
Not that I know of. The oldest are made of silver and from 400 before Christ. The miracle is that there are thousands of copies that are nearly identical and hand copied.
Wow -- That is much older than the Dead Sea Scrolls then that are estimated at 250 BC .. I looked it up and found this that says 700 BC ? 7th C. BC - Ketef Hinnom Scroll
(Hebrew)
In a tomb at Ketef Hinnom in Israel, the oldest text of the Hebrew Bible was discovered. The text, inscribed on a silver scroll in the old Hebrew script dating to the 7th Century B.C., is the Aaronic blessing (Numbers 6:24-26), which begins, "yeverekh'kha YHWH Vayishmarekha" (May Yahweh bless you and keep you). http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/bible_manuscripts.html
It was with the dead sea scrolls
This is excellent - I did not know about this. Maybe I did but forgot that it was so old. Incredible.
that is great so its mean its have existance before christ 400 before it's seems the oldest then ... is it oldest language? ?
That is my belief. There will be a story (with photos) from when God told Abram to go and walk the length and width of the land that He would give him. "And everywhere you place your 'foot' will be yours"
Mind you that Abram had Isaac and an Arab brother, then Isaac had Jacob and Ishmeal (Mulslims?)
Abraham is nowt his name.
and Jacob turned to Israel.
If there are literal "Footprints" of Abram throughout the middle-east then it would stand to reason that Hebrew is the oldest.
Second:
in Gen 10:21 onward...
To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, children were born. 22 The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram. 23 The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. 24 Arpachshad fathered Shelah; and Shelah fathered Eber. 25 To Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg,[c] for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother's name was Joktan.
Abram was a grandson of Eber from which the name "ivrit" comes.
ooo Abram was grand son of Eber from that ivrit comes you also know all sons name that need alot of research. ...you had explained so nicely glad to know all this historical knowledge thank you for answering me
it's one of those boring parts x the father of x the father of x... which I really like to read in Hebrew Haha. I just remembered it and looked it up for you.
hahaha really then thank you so much you had look for me ... actually its also hardest part to remember who son whoes father ... but you explained that sweet ☺
Those are the parts I always skipped over when reading in English - but I am learning only now that there is great significance in reading these names in Hebrew and also the number of years each lived. Everything is Significant.
Excellent - I learn something new here with every post you make.
Wow - 400 years BC ? That is older than Dead Sea Scrolls then that are estimated at 250 BC ... Where we can learn more about this silver codex ?
Really? Who wrote these ancient hand copied scrolls?
Must have been the descendants of Moses .... 700 BC - Ketef Hinnom Scroll

Wow thank you so much
You're welcome. I am fascinated by the age of the Hebrew language and Aleph Bet - especially when I heard that God (YHVH) actually used these letters to create the Universe.
I have heard this also. It's from the sefer ha Zohar.
Rabbinic Judaism calculated a lifespan of Moses corresponding to 1391–1271 BCE. So this scroll would have been 700 years after Moses and 700 years before the time of Jesus.
Amazing.
must ancient people wrote na whoes native language was .. i think so @hebrew know well
