In a scroll room, 27 scrolls will be displayed through the course of the exhibition — 15 at any one time. The switch will be made during the fall. The scrolls will include biblical books of Leviticus, Isaiah and Job. There will be the Damascus Document and the War Scroll, which highlight the life and thoughts of the Qumran community. Also included will be the Copper Scroll from Jordan, the only scroll inscribed on copper. Another will be what has been deemed the best preserved manuscript of Deuteronomy. It contains the text of the Ten Commandments.
