Director of the Israel Museum stands beside sections of the ancient Dead Sea scrolls in Jerusalem
Director of the Israel Museum James Snyder (L) stands beside a display of sections of the ancient Dead Sea scrolls in the museum in Jerusalem May 14, 2008. Sections of the ancient Dead Sea scrolls that call for nations to "beat their swords into ploughshares" will be put on display in Jerusalem this week to be seen by the public for the first time in more than 40 years. About five metres (15 feet) of the Isaiah Scroll, one of the world's oldest texts from about 120 BC, will be taken out of its dark, temperature-controlled chamber at the Israel Museum for an exhibit honouring Israel's 60th anniversary.
