1QIsab is a fragmentary copy of the

Ta'amireh tribe in 1947.[1] It was discovered along with and grouped and sold together with two other Dead Sea Scrolls, the Thanksgiving Hymn and the War Scroll.[1] Seven fragments of 1QIsab are also classified as 1Q8.[2]

History

Eleazar Sukenik purchased the scroll from an antiquities dealer in Bethlehem named Faidi Salahi, who had purchased the scroll from the Bedouin, on 21 December 1947.[3] Much of the scroll is dark and blackened, preserved in multiple fragments, and in four major sheets that contain the upper section of the last third of the book.[3] Paleography dates the scroll to the late Hasmonaean or early Herodian period in the first century BCE.[3]
