Scroll of Isaiah
The Scroll of Isaiah refers to a Biblical manuscript containing the Book of Isaiah, one of the major books of the Old Testament. It is significant because it is one of the oldest known copies of the text, dating back to around 100 BCE, and was discovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls near the Dead Sea in the late 1940s. The Book of Isaiah contains prophetic writings attributed to the prophet Isaiah, addressing themes of judgment, hope, and the coming of a messianic figure. This scroll is crucial for understanding ancient Jewish beliefs and early Christianity.
