The Dead Sea Scrolls

I have spent years studying the Dead Sea Scrolls and here is what I was able to find........... if there is anyone that can add to this information or even if there is a correction i would appreciate it.


35 % - of the Hebrew contained in the Dead Sea Scrolls match exactly identical with the Masoretic text,

the other
65 % of the Masoretic text are simply are not included in the Dead Sea Scrolls artifacts. they are missing or not found among the artifacts


The DEAD SEA SCROLLS - - are a body of ancient manuscript material that contain the contents of roughly - 35 - 50 % of all that is known and accepted today by Protestants as - the Bible.


this includes confirmation _ ….for about
1 % of the Greek Septuagint - itself, as it exists today


this includes confirmation _ …..for about 35 % of the Masoretic manuscripts - itself, as it exists today


- its not that the Dead Sea Scrolls contradict or prove the Protestant Bible to be wrong in the other roughly 50 % …..


The Catholic Bible has the apocrypha so there will be a much lower percentage of the Dead Sea Scrolls that support a Catholic Bible due to the fact that fragments for only four apocrypha books were found.


THE OTHER
remaining
55 + % OF of the Dead Sea Scrolls include: documents that either do not support the Bible Translations we have today or they are Apocryphal writings or a many other document text materials not related to the Bible but are historical writings and theology. Or ……. exegetical texts, explaining history and Historical texts, Legal texts, Parabiblical texts, and Poetical/liturgical texts.


but only about 1 - 2 % - of the Dead Sea Scroll fragments found in Greek - show support todays version of the Greek Septuagint


In the dead sea scrolls there were found 203 verses in the Greek language - for the Old Testament

However, there are an approximate
23,145 total verses that are contained in the entire Hebrew Old Testament

Here are the
203 Greek passages found in the Dead Sea Scrolls for the Old Testament

for the Greek Septuagint

about 1 - 2 % - of the overall total Dead Sea Scroll fragments found in Greek - show support for today’s version of the Greek Septuagint - meaning there are contradictions, variants and problems where these manuscripts do not support the Greek Septuagint

this means that of all Greek Old Testament Dead Sea Scrolls manuscripts,


almost 99% of the total 1 - 2 % - fragments and scrolls of Greek found do not match up with today’s Greek Septuagint
