Phylacteries (Tefillin) found in Wadi Murabba'at containing passages from Exodus and Deuteronomy.

A unique tefillin (phylactery) slip discovered in Cave 4 near Qumran, written on both sides of a single parchment strip (an opisthograph). It was designed to be folded and placed within a leather tefillin case for prayer, reflecting the ancient Jewish practice of keeping biblical passages close to the body. The handwriting displays a distinctive semi-cursive script characteristic of Jewish ritual items during the Second Temple period.

Purchased in Egypt in 1902, the Nash Papyrus was the oldest known Hebrew manuscript fragment before the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. It consists of a single sheet containing the Ten Commandments followed by the 'Shema Yisrael' prayer, suggesting it was used as a personal liturgical or instructional document. This ancient artifact served as a crucial paleographic benchmark that later helped scholars confirm the great antiquity of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
