The Scribe's Room, a Four Person Job

The scribe's room is where they would have written. It was a four-person job, reciting and writing down the text. Every time you got to the name of god, you would put your penyou put your quills down,. You would go to amikva, and you would have to wash before continuing. Part of the reason that we know our bibles are so reliable is because of the commitment of the essenes to transcribing these scrolls.
