Textual Criticism of the Old Testament: Qumran

In Qumran, sections of all the books of the Old Testament have been found, apart from Esther. Of some books only fragments have been found, but of others nearly the entire text has been found, such as Isaiah.

The biblical manuscripts of Qumran are more than a thousand years older than the standard text of the Old Testament, the Masoretic text.
