ANCIENT HEBREW SCROLL DISPUTED
Goat's Search for Greener
Pastures Led to Discovery
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
Washington, Nov. 1 (U.B) Some of our leading scholars have ex
pressed doubt whether the Hebrew scrolls, found in a cave south
of Jericho, are the real thing.
The sacred writings, believed to be over 2.000 years old, now
are on display at the Library of Congress. They are insured for
half a million dollars.
Dr. Lawrence Marwick, chief
of the Hebraic section of the lib
rary, Is one of the believers. He
says the greatest doubt as to
the authenticity of the scrolls
comes from Prof. Solomon Zelt
lin of Dropsle College in Phila
delphia. The professor came here and
had a look at the scrolls and said
he thought they were of much
later origin than supposed. He
cited, among other things, the
condition of the parchment.
Alittle history:
The exciting story began when
a particularly hungry goat Jump
ed the fence in 1947 looking
for a fresher pasture. This was
In the foothills of the northwest
shores of the Dead Sea, south
of Ain Feshkha the area pres
ently claimed by the Hasimite
ruler of Transjordan.
This goat was followed by
his Bedouin shepherd, who want
ed to get It back in the fold. The
billy led his master into a small
circular opening in a rock faee
and thence into a cave.
The goatherder's eyes popped
at what he saw. There, on the
earthen floor of the cave, were
a number of large earthen Jars
overed with an ancient script.
In all, four complete manu
scripts were found. Three of
these are among the display
here. The fourth requires expert
handling before It can be un
rolled. Most valuable of the
group Is the virtually complete
scroll of Isaiah the complete
text.
Dr. Marwick says the cave in
which the writing were found
recently was excavated by two
of the leading authorities of
archaeology In Palestine.
Pottery found there is said
to be characteristic of the Mac
cabean age, before the time of
Herod the great In the years be
fore Christ. That cinches the
authenticity so far as the lib
rary of Congress expert is con
cerned. It is Interesting to note that
In addition to the complete
manuscripts discovered, frag
ments of some ZOO others also
were found.
While the debate goes on, the
scholars admit there Is a touch
of mystery about the whole
thing. How did the scrolls hap
pen to survive? Since all were
made of the same tough parch
ment, how come there are some
whole manuscripts and only
torn bits of others?
The cave which the ancient
curator selected for the deposit
turned out to be an exrellent
hiding place, anyhow. It's en
trance can't be seen from the
plain below.
Dr. Marwick says that it has
been established definitely tlwt
the cave was entered around 200
A. D. Within, besides the scrolls,
the scholars found a later
Roman lamp, which dated itself
by what the students knew of
other lamps from the some period.
So, Dr. Marwick concludes, It
is possible that other scrolls may
have been removed at that time.
Whatever happened to them
if there were any more nobody
knows for sure.
What catches the eye of the
people who visit the library of
congress exhibit Is the 24-foot
long script of Isaiah. It is writ
ten in the Hebrew characteristic
of the second century B. C.
It is therefore recognized as
the oldest existing manuscript of
any portion of the Bible in any
language.
It is more than 1. 000 years
older than the earliest previous
ly known Hebrew manuscript,
dated after S16 A. D.
Engineers have worked It out
so that two television stations
operating on seperate channels
can use the same antenna tower.
