Reproduction of a fragment of the Dead Sea Scrolls of Deuteronomy in Hebrew in an acrylic easel
This scroll, 4Q41 named the Ten Commandments Scroll, is unique in that there is evidence of it being used as a liturgical document. More importantly, however, the scroll preserves the entire Decalogue (Ten Commandments) in the form that has been handed down to us to this day. This reproduction begins with Deuteronomy 5:1 (first column, beginning from right) and ends with verse 33 (fourth column, on the far left). The Ten Commandments begin on the first column, line 12, and ends on the third column, line 12. The original scroll dates to the latter half of the 1st Century A.D
