The following is a list of the Dead Sea Scrolls from the cave 2 near Qumran.

Description[edit]

Wadi Qumran Cave 2 was discovered in February 1952 and soon the Bedouin people discovered 30 fragments in it.^[1] The cave eventually yielded 300 fragments from 33 manuscripts of Dead Sea Scrolls, including fragments of Jubilees and the Wisdom of Sirach written in Hebrew.^[2]^[3]

List of manuscripts[edit]

Some resources for more complete information on the Dead Sea Scrolls are the book by Emanuel Tov, "Revised Lists of the Texts from the Judaean Desert"^[4] for a complete list of all of the Dead Sea Scroll texts, as well as the online webpages for the Shrine of the Book^[5] and the Leon Levy Collection,^[6] both of which present photographs and images of the scrolls and fragments themselves for closer study. Information is not always comprehensive, as content for many scrolls has not yet been fully published.
