The Copper Scroll, discovered by a team of archaeologists in 1952, is one of fifteen scrolls found in Cave 3 at Qumran near the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea. Written perhaps at Qumran on a sheet of copper approximately 2.4 meters (nearly 8 feet) long, it records sixty-four locations where Jewish communities hid treasures of gold, silver, tithing vessels, and vestments, perhaps foreseeing the sacking of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 CE. Dates from 25 CE to 135 CE have been proposed.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
