The Dead Sea Scrolls

what is the truth about the Dead Sea Scrolls?
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies:
Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain

ok do the dead sea scrolls match the bible and torah?

If you mean word-for-word, no.

In fact, it is a common misconception that the scrolls are all torah-related. They are not and they have nothing to do with xtianity, either.

Quote:Content
We can classify the content of the Scrolls in three different categories:

40% Biblical: texts from the Hebrew Bible
30% Apocryphal: or non-bible texts with documents not canonized in the Hebrew bible.
30% Sectarian: previously unknown documents about beliefs and rules of a particular group such us “Community Rule”, “Rule of Blessing” and “War Rule”.
