    Option: use a Basic Search for <~Ge21> in a Dead Sea Scrolls collection:

    Wiki => Example Collections includes Dead Sea Scrolls

    Example: wanto to find the Scroll Rfence Number of the scroll(s)/Fragments containing Genesis 21?

    Text Comparison (ignoring case, marks, punctuation) can be used to compare Biblical Dead Sea Scrolls:

    When searching for a passage in the DSS, I would suggest going to the library and entering "Dead Sea index."  This will give two results:  Dead Sea Scrolls Study Edition Index and Biblical Dead Sea Scrolls: Bible Index Reference.  You want the latter.  It will list the documents by scripture passage included and will save some frustration by letting you know when a passage is not contained in the extant fragments.  Gen 21 is not covered.
