The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible

I recently purchase a cope of the Dead Sea Scrolls Bible in English. I have noticed that there are missing sections in the Book. Jubilees, 1 Enoch and Esther have no content at all. Also the Bibliography section at the end has no content as well as the front sections including, Title page, contents, introduction and so on all the way down to How to read this book. Thanking you for your assistance.

This sounds like a bug.

FYI The sections on the extra-biblical books Jubilees and 1 Enoch contain only a short introduction and no translations. The book of Esther is the only biblical book of which no remains have been found at Qumran.

My copy is fine. I'd suggest that you try redownloading the book.

Mine is like the OP's. From what I can see, they put 'abcd' place holders, and forgot to go back. But my version is Jan 2012. They probably fixed it? Or went back?

And for others of similar DSS Bible interest:

... which is Lexham's DSS Interlinear Bible .... which is why I never noticed the missing text in DSS Bible.

Qumran Scribes ships tomorrow!

EDIT: My show everything is all turned on (ergo the abcd placeholders).

The last line in this picture and also in my version says:

"Because the text is available elsewhere, and because of the admittedly speculative nature of including it even in a Dead Sea Scroll Bible, we have chosen not to reproduce the text here"
