Talk:Temple Scroll

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Temple Scroll. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20090328140612/http://cojs.org:80/cojswiki/Ideology to http://cojs.org/cojswiki/Ideology

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Provenance

What this article doesn't say, is how this scroll went from the Qumran caves to the Israel Museum, (they were apparently discovered around 1956).

Neil Asher Silberman (1993) “A prophet amongst you”, about Yigael Yadin apparently has the interesting story; in 1967, just after the occupation, Yadin heard about an antique dealer in Bethlehem who had the scroll. Apparently, both the antique dealer and his son where arrested, and were not freed until they gave up the scrolls.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to the bokk, does anyone? Huldra (talk) 23:46, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

From another book:

"In the aftermath of the war, Yadin acquired the Temple Scroll from Kando. That purchased ended a drama begun in 1960. At that time, a certain Reverend Joe Uhrig had offered the scroll to Yadin, supplying him a small sample and securing a return deposit of $10,000. Yadin never heard from Uhrig Again. In 1967, Yadin learned that the scroll was was now in Kando's hands. In the early days of the war, Yadin sent a detachment of soldiers to Kando's house in Bethlehem, where they seized the scroll, thereby saving it from the rot that was destroying it under Kando's floobaords. Later, Kando was compensated with a payment of $108,000." Schiffman, 1994 p. 16

Kando was an antiques dealer who pedaled the first Dead Sea Scrolls. It doesn't say when the scrolls came into his possession, but its not surprising that the original antiques dealer would come to possess the largest scroll. The book shows a picture of the scroll being substantially damaged, so it seems lik they saved it from neglect "under his floorboards". 70.20.32.149 (talk) 03:05, 27 December 2021 (UTC)John Dee[reply]
