The Divine Name (IAO)

This stunning 1st-century BC Septuagint papyrus fragment (4Q120 / pap4QLXXLevb) comes from the famous Dead Sea Scrolls discovered in Qumran Cave 4. Dating to the Hasmonean period, it preserves portions of Leviticus 4:26–28 in ancient Koine Greek.

What makes this manuscript truly extraordinary is its rare use of the divine name ΙΑΩ (Iaō) — a direct transliteration of the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) — instead of the later Christian standard "Κύριος" (Lord), this fragment is one of the most significant witnesses to the early transmission of the Greek Old Testament.

- Date: 1st century BC

- Significance: Rare preservation of the divine name ΙΑΩ in a Septuagint manuscript
