Dr. Claude Mariottini - Professor of Old Testament: Two Ancient Manuscripts

I read a great post Dr. Mariottini's blog. It's exciting the two manuscripts in question are actually from a single scroll dates back about 1,300 years! It's further interesting that it's not that they are newly discovered, only that we now know that they were done by the same scribe on the same scroll!!!

Dr. Claude Mariottini - Professor of Old Testament: Two Ancient Manuscripts: "The Associated Press is reporting that two sections of an ancient biblical manuscript that were kept in different continents were reunited for the first time since they were separated centuries ago. These two sections contain the Song of the Sea (Exodus 15:1-21), a passage that celebrates Israel’s exodus from Egypt and the destruction of the Pharaoh’s armies in the Sea.
