This is not exactly the Hebrew text of the Tanakh found in the Qumran Library near the Dead Sea, Israel, but the Massoretic text of the Hebrew Bible with the Hebrew fonts of the Great Isaiah Scroll scribe. I created the graphic of the scripts based upon the DSS fonts
designed by Mr. Jack Kilmon (a student of Dr. William Foxwell Albright) who saw a need for it in DSS scholarship. In the past, publications on Dead Sea scroll material publish the Hebrew text in modern Hebrew and then gives transliterations and translations. It is my opinion that if the original scribal hand is used, students, Bible scholars, and paleographers of the Dead Sea Scrolls will build a better familiarity with the ancient script.
