How the Dead Sea Scrolls Changed How We Read the Bible

Описание: Most English Bibles read “sons of Israel” in Deuteronomy 32:8. But when scholars examined the Dead Sea Scrolls — manuscripts over two thousand years old — they found a different phrase: “sons of God.” That doesn’t mean the Bible is wrong. It means we’re looking at how God preserved multiple textual traditions and what they reveal about biblical authorship, nations, spiritual powers, and the gospel mission.

In this video you will see:
• The three manuscript families for Deuteronomy 32:8, compared side-by-side
• Why many scholars favor the “sons of God” reading
• How this verse connects to Psalm 82, Daniel 10, Ephesians 6 and the theme of spiritual authorities
• What this means for those of us in ministry, mission, and everyday faith
