The Dead Sea Scrolls (discovered 1947 near Qumran) contain the oldest surviving copies of Hebrew Bible texts from ~200 BCโ100 ADโright around Jesus' era.
Key highlights: nearly complete Isaiah (prophecies of judgment, restoration & a coming Messiah), Psalms, Numbers, plus non-biblical items like the Genesis Apocryphon (Noah story) and Essene community rules.
They prove the Bible's text has stayed remarkably stable for 2,000+ years.
