I have been curious recently about the differences between the dead sea scrolls and the masoretic text. Is there a module or book that is the dead sea scrolls?.either Hebrew or translation? (It would be great with strong numbers lookup as I don't speak Hebrew )

Thanks

That is a translation of the scrolls, rather than discussion of textual differences.

(LoC & DD# are if you want to check it out of your local library.)

This is a translation of the Bible, using  the material found in the Dead Sea Scrolls as the primary source.  Along the way, there is discussion of textual differences with traditional Hebrew sources.

The text used in the Dead Sea scrolls is an earlier form of Hebrew than that which is seen in the Masoretic Text.

 

A Portion of Psa 145 From the Aleppo Codex

of the Masoretic Text

 

A Portion of Psa 145 From the Dead Sea Scrolls

 

Masoretic text happened in 1000 A.D., as where the text from the Dead Sea Scrolls happened in 100 B.C. So as you can see, there is an 1100 year difference from the way Hebrew was written.
