  5. CAVES A model of how the community who preserved the scrolls described itself.

  6. Scrolls The scrolls are comprised of more than 800 documents made of animal skin, papyrus and even forged copper. Among the texts are parts of every book of the Hebrew canon—what Christians call the Old Testament—except the book of Esther.

  7. The earliest texts date to 300 BC and the latest to a generation before the Romans destroyed the site in 68 AD. A few scrolls are written in Greek rather than a form of Aramaic or Hebrew that would be expected from a community of Jewish ascetics in the Judean desert.
