Lecture by Emanuel Tov (Hebrew University of Jerusalem)

Emanuel Tov is Professor in the Department of Bible at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He was one of the editors of the Hebrew University Bible Project. He is a member of the editorial board of the journal Dead Sea Discoveries, and served on the Academic committee of the Magnes Press.

From 1990-2009 he served as the Editor-in-Chief of the international Dead Sea Scrolls Publication Project, which during those years produced 32 volumes of the series Discoveries in the Judean Desert as well as two concordances.

The Dead Sea Scrolls are a collection of 972 texts consisting of biblical manuscripts from what is now known as the Hebrew Bible and extra-biblical documents found between 1946 and 1956 on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea. The discoveries of the Dead Sea Scrolls have dramatically changed understanding the Bible.
