Reply to Donna DannaThe Dead Sea Scrolls connect the texts of the ancient past with the present. "The Dead Sea Scrolls provide important background information and textual parallels that have helped scholars understand the New Testament better in light of its first century A.D. Judean context. For example, the Dead Sea Scrolls illustrate the complex multilingual context in which the New Testament was written." - www.logos.com/grow/hall-dead-sea-scrollsThe information I gave was based on a news article going back about 1-1/2 years ago which I no longer have access to. However, it revealed that the word for "mansions" used in the book of John should have been "orbs" based on information in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
