Comparisons Of Isaiah In The Bom, Old Testament And The Dead Sea Scrolls

[nosmelone]

While reading in 2 Nephi chapter 12 I read in the footnotes that of the 433 verus of Isaiah quoted in the Book of Mormon more than half have different wording than that of the KJV Old Testament Isaiah leaving 200 versus that are quoted exactly the same. I was wondering if anyone has been able to compare to an english translation of the Isaiah scrolls that were part of the Dead Sea Scrolls at this point?

Excellent read. It is remarkable to see how evidence that was once thought to suggest that the Book of Mormon was a modern invention, when consider in greater depth and breadth, ends up supporting the belief that the Book of Mormon was a divine translation of an ancient text.
