25 New 'Dead Sea Scrolls' Revealed
By Owen Jarus, Live Science Contributor | October 10, 2016

More than 25 previously unpublished "Dead Sea Scroll" fragments, dating back 2,000 years and holding text from the Hebrew Bible, have been brought to light, their contents detailed in two new books.

The various scroll fragments record parts of the books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Samuel, Ruth, Kings, Micah, Nehemiah, Jeremiah, Joel, Joshua, Judges, Proverbs, Numbers, Psalms, Ezekiel and Jonah. The Qumran caves ― where the Dead Sea Scrolls were first discovered ― had yet to yield any fragments from the Book of Nehemiah; if this newly revealed fragment is authenticated it would be the first.

Scholars have expressed concerns that some of the fragments are forgeries....

For now we see as through a glass darkly...

It is good that these have come to light, and hopefully authentication will reveal they are genuine.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

For any Tom Clancy fans out there, I just read a fiction novel  'The Cloud Strike Prophecy'.  Won't give you details, but it is involved with texts from the Dead Sea Scrolls that have remained hidden.

@Smokin Joe , from how I discern you, this one is up your alley.

Thanks for the reference, I'll add it to my list!

Aaron Judkins was just on some internet radion show, talking about a new Qumran excavation... The cave they're going for is thought to be the 'Cave of the Columns', and is hopefully untouched as the roof caved in a long time ago.

Don't recall which of you it was that turned me on to "Tensleep"  but I want you to know that I found a copy in a local used book store and thoroughly enjoyed the read.
