The Lord's Admonition Pt. 2

Continuing on with the admonition to study other texts that might be useful to us...

One big part of the scripture project is updating archaic language. This has been on the agenda since late June (see here). In the recent answer the Lord gave in response a prayer offered for acceptance of the scriptures the Lord said:

"...I accept your clarifications and you are permitted to proceed to the end with your plan to update language to select a current vocabulary, but take care not to change meaning—" (Answer p. 2)

Two of the first scrolls discovered in caves at Qumran (the Dead Sea scrolls) are known to us as "1QIsaiahA" and "1QIsaiahB" (I'll just refer to them as "A" and "B" in this post).  "B" is remarkably similar to what we have currently in our bibles and predates "A" in language use. "A" is essentially the same text, but with language that better reflects the vocabulary used when these scrolls were written down. In other words, "A" is an updates the archaic language used in "B".

As far as I am aware, this was not known to the scriptures committee, but this information combined with the admonition from the Lord is one more witness among many that this project has been directed by the Lord.

You can learn all about this from the lecture series called "The Great Courses: The Dead Sea Scrolls" which can be downloaded on audible or bought in book form from Amazon.
