Two thousand years after they were written and decades after they were found in desert caves, some of the world-famous Dead Sea Scrolls are available online.<\/p>\n

Israel’s national museum and the international web giant Google are behind the project, which put five scrolls online Monday. The scrolls include the biblical Book of Isaiah.<\/p>\n

Google’s<\/a> technology allows surfers to search the scrolls for specific passages and translate them into English.<\/p>\n

The scrolls available online were purchased by Israeli researchers between 1947 and 1967. They were originally found by Bedouin shepherds in the Judean Desert.<\/p>\n

They are held at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

Google is also working with Israel to make the first comprehensive and searchable database of the broader collection of scrolls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
