The Dead Sea Scrolls’ Isaiah Scroll (c. 125 BCE) is 95–98% identical to the Masoretic Text (c. 10th century CE), with differences mostly in orthography or minor phrasing.
Statistical Insight: This high degree of consistency across a 1,000-year gap suggests a low error rate in scribal copying, supporting the reliability of the biblical text, including Jesus’ teachings and accounts of his death and resurrection.
