Prior to the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest extant Hebrew-language Bible text was less than a thousand years old. Most of the Dead Sea Scrolls are more than two thousand years old. It is therefore interesting that very few differences have been found between them and the translations we use today. The vast majority of the few differences found so far.....are spelling differences. "Colour" versus "color."
