![What I Discovered About the Dead Sea Scrolls Blew My Mind!
Septuagint: In my previous video, we uncovered some jaw-dropping agreements between the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Septuagint, sparking widespread interest and discussion. Little did I know, that was only the beginning. Since then, Ive discovered over 72 additional alignments-minor on their own but extraordinary when viewed together. These connections reveal a stunning pattern that reshapes how we understand the relationship between these ancient texts.
In this video, well explore standout examples that illuminate this pattern, including a variant in 1 Samuel 1:24 that changed how Ive viewed a familiar verse for years. Well also dive into fascinating details from Isaiah 49:17 and Hosea 14:2, showing how the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Septuagint often converge against the Masoretic Text, sometimes in ways that modern translations reflect.
Stay with me as I reveal the entire list of alignments and share how you can download it for FREE. These variants might seem small, but they collectively point to something big. Lets dive in and uncover the hidden gems in the Septuagint and Dead Sea Scrolls!

Correction – Hosea 14:2 (DSS evidence)
In this video, I stated that the Dead Sea Scrolls support the Septuagint’s “fruit of lips” reading in Hosea 14:2. My source (I thought!) for that was The Lexham Textual Notes on the Bible (Brannan & Loken), which says:
The Hebrew reads “bulls” in place of “fruit,” with the resultant idea, “we will offer our lips as [sacrificial] bulls,” the reading supported by the DSS, LXX, and Syr.
This comment seems confused. The Syriac and the LXX support “fruit,” not “bulls.” After further investigation, I found that we have only one DSS manuscript covering this passage—4Q78 (4QXIIᶜ)—and it is slightly defective at this exact point. The preserved consonants match the Masoretic פרים (“bulls/calves”), but because DSS manuscripts lack vowel points, it could, in theory, be read as פְּרִים (“fruit”) with the final ם functioning as an archaic Canaanite enclitic mem rather than a plural ending. This is the understanding reflected in the LXX (καρπὸν χειλέων) and Syriac. However, the scroll itself does not clearly preserve “fruit,” so my original statement overstated the evidence.
For an example of the scholarly discussion on the enclitic mem and the “fruit” reading, see Hans Walter Wolff, Hosea: A Commentary on the Book of the Prophet Hosea (Hermeneia; Fortress Press, 1974), on Hosea 14:2.
