I never realized there where that many scrolls from so many sources, ie caves, and that some were/are being sold on the open market. Yeah. I once read where some of the current scroll translators thought they were translating their scrolls for the first time. They later came across a book from the 1940's containing translations of their scrolls. The work had not been done very well, and many of the assumptions the first translator made turned out to be wrong, but the guy obviously had had the scrolls long before anyone else. I tend not to place a great deal of significance upon the Dead Sea Scrolls because so much of the information concerning them is vague. But I am certainly interested.
