Location
1. Qumran is located on the northwest side of the Dead Sea on Hwy. 90, and about 13 miles (21 km.) east of Jerusalem.
2. It’s in the Judean Wilderness, where it’s barren and hot.
3. It’s located 1200 feet (366 m.) below sea level.
4. Its water source comes from the Judean Mountains to the west of the community via an aqueduct.
5. There are many caves in the area.
6. It was at Qumran that one of the most important discoveries in the history of biblical archaeology took place in around 1947.
Historical Background
1. It’s believed the ancient settlement of Qumran was established by a Jewish group called the Essenes.
2. They lived here from about 200 BC to around 68 AD.
3. There were around 200 people who inhabited Qumran during its history.
4. The ruins were excavated in the 1950s by a French archaeological team.
5. The Essenes were a spiritually devoted group of folks who left Jerusalem due to their belief that the priesthood had become corrupted beyond repair and separated themselves to study the Bible, copy it, and seek the Lord in the desert.
6. They were a strict Torah observant, Messianic, apocalyptic, new covenant Jewish sect. They were led by a priest they called the "Teacher of Righteousness.” They were highly educated and very familiar with writing and study.
7. The future monastery lifestyle followed similar patterns of the Essene community.
8. Josephus wrote that the men of Qumran rejected marriage, and instead, cared for the needy and neglected children of others. However, later discoveries found skeletons of women, so it’s believed women were part of the community as well.
9. The Dead Sea Scrolls were most likely written by the Essenes during the period from about 200 BC to 68 AD. The Essenes are mentioned by Josephus and other secular sources, but not in the New Testament.
10. When the Essenes saw the nation of Israel falling to the Romans in around 68 AD, they hid their manuscripts in caves around Qumran. These manuscripts are what we refer to as the Dead Sea Scrolls.
