The importance of one stone- the Dead Sea scrolls- part 1

If one of your goats as a shepherd would have gone and lost – would you chase after her? According to the a famous story when Moses was a shepherd he lost one his goat and due to his responsibility and the searching after her, The lord sais to himself that if Moses was so responsible to one goat – he can be the leader of the people of Israel.

The Shepherd

In 1947 another shepherd want to a trip in the Dead Sea, and one of his goats has been lost. What did he do? He threw a stone to a cave in order to put out the goat that was hiding from him and he heard a strange noise. When he entered to the cave he found out scrolls that were hidden in a jug that made of clay. There were lying three scrolls that he used some of them in order to make a bonfire and the rest he sold to merchant that deals with antiquities. One of the scrolls contained the book of Isaiah.
