Hi Doug,

I'm afraid that you misunderstood. Of course many of the DDS, especially the 
biblical scrolls, are in Hebrew. What I meant was, that the DJD series has 
the various scrolls, in photos, line drawings, transcriptions and 
traslations, according to type, cave, year of publication and so on. To find 
out if a certain biblical passage exists in the scrolls, one has to go to the 
index in vol. 39, and then to the relevant vol., and if it exists in more 
than one scroll, they might be in different volumes. The whole series is 
large and expensive, and certainly not something that the average person, 
even a scholar, would have at home. 

Abegg, Flint and Ulrich's "The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible", is a single-volume 
paperback collection of all of the biblical passages in the scrolls, set in 
order of the biblical books, with chapter and verse marked, and with the 
relevant DDS citation in the notes. So that all one has to do is to open up 
his copy at the relevant place, and the verse will either be there or not. 
Unfortunately, it only has the English translation of the texts, not the 
Hebrew. As far as I know, no one has yet done the same with the actual Hebrew 
text.

    But I don't know of a single volume compilation in 
    Hebrew.


  Howdy Yigal, 

  If none of the DSS are written in Hebrew, what then?
