Psalms 84:1
Masada Psalms a
Discovered in the casemate wall of the ancient fortress of Masada, this well-preserved manuscript contains portions of Psalms 81 through 85. It is written in an elegant, professional Herodian script, and its text is remarkably identical to the traditional Hebrew Bible we use today. The presence of this scroll at Masada confirms that a highly standardized version of the Psalms was actively used by Jewish defenders during the First Jewish-Roman War.
Codex Vaticanus
Codex Vaticanus is one of the oldest and most valuable surviving manuscripts of the complete Greek Bible. It has been securely housed in the Vatican Library since at least the late 15th century and is celebrated for its elegant script written on very high-quality vellum.
Codex Sinaiticus
Codex Sinaiticus is one of the most celebrated and important books in the world. Handwritten well over 1,600 years ago, it contains the Christian Bible in Greek, including the oldest surviving complete copy of the New Testament. Originally discovered at St. Catherine's Monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai, its surviving leaves are now preserved across four libraries worldwide, with the largest portion held at the British Library.
