Dead Sea Scrolls Jar

This item is a miniature copy of a Dead Sea

Scrolls jar from Qumran, authorized by the

Israel Antiquities Authority. Before the discovery

of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest copy of the Hebrew Bible was from the ninth century CE.

But now, thanks to the dry, arid environment of the Judean Desert and the jars in which they

were put for safekeeping we can date them

back to mid-third century BCE.

The Temple Courts Inscription

Height: 195mm (40% of original size). An authentic replica of the Temple Courts Inscription. Authorized by the Israel Antiquities Authority. The Temple Courts Inscription dates

to the 1st Century BCE (20-19 BCE). To date, it

is one of the few only extant remnants of the Second Temple precinct (the Temple and its

outer wall) to have ever been discovered.

The stone inscriptions once adorned the temenos wall that surrounded the Herodian Temple. It is most likely that the apostle Paul is referring to this very wall in Ephesians 2:11-22.

Though fragmented, the Temple Courts Inscription itself can be reconstructed to read:

“No foreigner is to enter the barriers surrounding the sanctuary. He who is caught will have himself to blame for his death which will follow.”

Pontius Pilate Inscription

Height: 120mm (15% of original size). The Pontius Pilate Inscription was discovered in secondary use on the western steps of the Roman theatre at Caesarea in June of 1961. The inscription reflects the erecting of a monumental building by Pontius Pilate, most likely a temple, in which the Emperor Tiberius was worshipped. The discovery of this inscription provides a monumental backdrop for New Testament authenticity. The inscription substantiates that Pontius Pilate indeed was a ‘prefect’ and not a ‘procurator’ as some of the early translators had deemed.

The Latin inscription reads

(reconstructed letters are in brackets):

[DIS AUGUSTI]S TIBERIÉUM

[…PO]NTIUS PILATUS

[…PRAEF]ECTUS IUDA[EA]E

[…FECIT D]E[DICAVIT]

The translation:

To the Divine Augusti [this] Tiberieum

…Pontius Pilate

…prefect of Judea

…has dedicated [this]

This fragment of the scroll narrates the Aramaic names of the twenty angels, who were the chiefs among the fallen angels.

and all the provinces will pay homage. The great God is his strength,
He will wage war for him, he will place the peoples in his hand and
Cast them all away before him. His rule will be an eternal rule and all the abysses”

The Genesis Scroll - Last Days of Creation

(4Q4 PL.1071)

Some 20 fragments of copies of the book of Genesis were discovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls. This particular fragment, 4Q4 PL. 1071, from Cave 4 was written with black ink on a thin layer of reddish-brown parchment. A linen string, which bound the page to the next one, was preserved. The scroll contains only 11 lines of text (Genesis 1:18-27). It begins with the conclusion of the fourth day of creation (separation from light and darkness) and ends with the creation of man on the sixth day.

Of interesting note is a scribal correction on the fifth line. The scribe had mistakenly forgotten the letter vav (?) but corrected his mistake by post-inserting it above the tav (?).
