Steve,
Can someone explain why there are so few Old Testament manuscripts as
compared to the the New Testament?

“The Jewish scribes looked upon their
copies of the Scriptures with an almost
superstitious respect, which led them to
give a ceremonial burial to any copy which
was old or became worn.”
Neil Lightfoot
(How We Got the Bible, 1998)

Yours,
