Your point on Sennacherib only being attested in the Bible until the 19th century is interesting. I just heard someone say the other day that if something is found in the Bible and nowhere else, it can be safely discarded as a fabrication. It's amazing how the Bible has proven itself as reliable again and again as archeology catches up.
There should be more Bible studies like this.It was very informational. Good job! Yeah, I lived in the Qumran cave for about a month. It is a long way around to the cave from Qumran. It does not look far,but it is! The cave was nice and comfortable ! Tourists would come by every couple of days. There was one week when nobody came. It is real isolation . What a difference between the Ivrit of Moshe( which is very elementary) and Isaiah( which comparable to Shakespeare).
Verse 11 of Isaiah 53 has a significant variant, it alludes to the resurrection the word light 11 After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light[1] and be satisfied.
Thanks for the well-done video! Are there any other videos or websites that you like that pertain to the subject of Biblical accuracy and integrity particularly to the Book of Isaiah, the Masoretic text and the Qumran version?
Regarding the so-called Great Isaiah Scroll, below is solid info with sources cited to back my my very plausible theory that the rabbis' gathering at Yavne after 70 AD had some old skins to use to produce this scroll and faked the old lettering and then later stashed the scroll like a time-capsule with the intent of how it's being used today. The writers of the New Testament quoted from Isaiah the most and it's real obvious that their quotes are from the real text: 1) prophecies fulfilled. 2) agrees with the some evidence from Qumran. 3) agrees with the Septuagint. From the Lexham Bible Dictionary Sampler pg. 187: “1QIsaᵃ preserves a text type that, while close to the traditional Hebrew (Masoretic) text, also contains over two dozen readings where it agrees with the early Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible (the Septuagint, or LXX) rather than the MT [Masoretic Text]. Some would assign 1QIsaᵃ to a text type distinct from those of both the MT and the LXX (Ulrich and Flint, Qumran).” “Although the biblical scrolls from Qumran generally retain a more ancient form of Hebrew than that which was actually spoken in that day, some claim that the scribe of 1QIsaᵃ [the so-called Great Isaiah Scroll] clarified the text of Isaiah for an audience that no longer understood some classical Hebrew forms, updating and including more popular terms for a contemporary audience (Parry and Qimron, New Edition).” (in the same source. pg. 187.) Parry and Qimron undoubtedly were guardedly referring to Dr. Solomon Zeitlin who probably saw the truth of the miraculously preserved preciously few manuscripts, but likely “threw the baby out with the bathwater" meaning he never got to check out 90% of the scraps and fragments that comprise the rest of the so-called "Dead Sea Scrolls." Professor Zeitlin got to read some of the evidence from Qumran in the years it was being discovered (1948-1956) because there are only 10-12 rather-well to quite-well preserved scrolls and many of these were published in the beginning. but there’s about 900 manuscripts from Qumran and almost all of them consists of tiny, brittle fragments which were extremely slowly edited over four decades by an exclusive four-man team before they were published in 1991. And virtually no one else had access neither to the scrolls nor even to photographs of the text until they were published. (An article from February 12, 1956 in the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (est. 1917)) Prof. Zeitlin Disputes Value of Dead Sea Scrolls for Judaism The Dead Sea Scrolls “have no value for Judaism or the history of early Christianity” Dr. Solomon Zeitlin, professor of Rabbinic Literature at Dropsie College, said last night at a lecture here. He asserted that the scrolls are not of great antiquity, but were written in the Middle Ages by “none too literate writers and hence have no value for Judaism or early Christianity.” Dr. Zeitlin based his argument on his study of “the internal evidence” in the scrolls. He pointed out that the spelling of various Hebrew words and terms which occur in the scrolls did not come into usage among the Jews until the Middle Ages. He also indicated that the scrolls contained references to Jewish laws which were not in vogue during the pre-Christian period but were enacted centuries later. “If one assigned to Shakespeare the authorship of a newly-found manuscript wherein there were words like Fabian, ‘telephone’, ‘automobile’, ‘New Deal’, and reference was made to laws which were enacted in the Victorian age, would any student of English literature regard the manuscript as that of Shakespeare?,” Prof. Zeitlin asked. “Similar reasoning applies to the Dead Sea Scrolls,” he said. Prof. Zeitlin also disputed the importance of the famous “so-called Manual of Discipline” of the Essene sect, and the Commentary on Habakkuk and the Zadokite Fragments in which the expression “Teacher of Righteousness” is held to be significant for anticipating the ministry of Jesus. “Detailed study of these scrolls show that they were written in the Middle Ages by uneducated Jews who either belonged to one of the Karaitic sects or were influenced by one of them”, he claimed. (source : www.jta.org/archive/prof-zeitlin-disputes-value-of-dead-sea-scrolls-for-judaism if link won't go through, cut and paste the article's title and Google for it.) The Habakkuk Commentary (1QpHab) is carbon-14 dated as late as AD 122. It and the Community Rule (1QS) which is carbon-14 dated as late as 2 AD were found rolled together as one, packed the same way in which the Great Isaiah scroll (1QIsaᵃ) was packed. Initially upon discovery, they appeared to be two black wax or tar covered cylinders. Being sealed so kept them extremely well-preserved. The Great Isaiah scroll was first carbon dated as late as 1 AD but the scholars date it to 160-200 BC.
great info thanks! is that the only “hard” evidence given for the supposed age of these scrolls, radio carbon dating? i think professor zeitlin has it right, i mean how can you convince me that something found in 1947 is truly the oldest biblical text? i’m gonna need some solid, reliable evidence that can corroborate such a preposterous claim.
@@ainaguru4986 Your are welcome. God Bless You. My latest find is another MT scrubbing of Messianic verse(s) : Isaiah 33.14b Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?

Thank you so much for this excellent video. When will Part 2 be released? The only comment I can make is that there is some controversy as to whether the inhabitants of Qumran were actually the Essenes. Did you base this upon the writings of Josephus? I believe that there was evidence of women and children in Qumran so it wouldn't have been a monastery in the the traditional sense of the word. Thank you again for making this video.
Is there evidence of Noah outside bible? Like he lived for hundreds of years right? Wouldn’t it make sense people would worship him as a god an think him immortal? This putting him in legends an “ myth” in different cultures
@Ahmed N true I know that so I guess it shouldn’t be just for Noah but I’m sayin is there other mentions of him outside the Bible in different cultures like for example I heard there was a man named Noa or Noh in Hawaiian mythology in a flood story or maybe it was another culture but still it was similar to noah
Actually, yes.... in the Epic of Gilgamesh (Tablet XI) the character of Utnapishtim, whom Gilgamesh visits is a very "Noah-like" character... and he lived on a high mountain (Ararat?). He survived the great flood, and is viewed as the one who had the secrets to eternal (long) life.

I hear people say the Isaiah scroll is very different to the masoretic
The Lion laying down with the lamb is actually no where in the Bible, old or new testaments. I'm not sure where you get the info. Just fyo
Noticed this is inaccurate representation of what the scrolls say. You have deleted Gods personal name that he gave us.
