"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth..." (Genesis 1:1)

Unlike ordinary paper reproductions, each parchment replica is handcrafted on real natural goat vellum parchment—a premium material chosen despite its higher cost because nothing else so faithfully recreates the look, feel, and durability of the writing surface on which this ancient Dead Sea Scroll was originally written.

Bring home one of the world's earliest surviving witnesses to the opening words of Scripture. This handcrafted replica reproduces 4Q7 (4QGenesisᵍ), a genuine Dead Sea Scroll discovered among the caves of Qumran overlooking the Dead Sea. Written over two thousand years ago, this remarkable manuscript preserves portions of the creation account from Genesis 1.
