Grouping the Scrolls

The Dead Sea Scrolls are traditionally divided into three groupings: ``Biblical'' manuscripts (copies of texts out of the Hebrew Bible), which comprise approximately 40scrolls; ``Apocryphal'' or ``Pseudo-epigraphical'' manuscripts (identified records coming from the Second Temple Period such as Enoch, Jubilees, Tobit, Sirach, non-canonical psalms, etc., that were not eventually canonized in the Hebrew Bible), which comprise around 30(formerly unknown written documents which speak to the rules and values associated with a specific group or groups within higher Judaism) such as the ``Community Rule'', ``War Scroll'', ``Pesher on Habakkuk'' (pesher:''Commentary''), and also the ``Rule of the Blessing'', which in turn comprise roughly 30
