How Scribes Copied The Ancient Text

In this fascinating video teaching (of approximately 37 minutes), Josh McDowell walks us through the very intricate and elaborate process involved in the making of a scroll of the Hebrew Scriptures. The Jewish scribes had such great reverence for the text that it was of the utmost importance to preserve it accurately. A scribe had to undergo stringent testing before he was qualified for the task which included memorizing 4, 000 laws. This was to ensure the text would be copied, pronounced, and interpreted precisely. In the video we are also introduced to one of the rarest scrolls in the world, called the Lodz Torah Scroll.
