One little character can change not only the reading but the context," Parry said.

The project's end result will be a Biblia Hebraica Quinta compiled of the most accurate readings of the Old Testament to date.

A simple example of the enhancements provided by the Dead Sea Scrolls is that they contain no fewer than six Psalms not found in the Hebrew Bible, Parry said.

Another example Parry cites is found in Psalm 145, which is written as an acrostic poem — meaning the first word in the first verse begins with the first letter in the Hebrew alphabet, the first word in the second verse begins with the second letter in the alphabet and so on.

Missing in the Hebrew Bible's Psalm 145 is an entire verse, the "n" equivalent verse — the letter "n" in Hebrew being "nun." Bible scholars have long acknowledged the missing verse, which is found in the older Dead Sea Scrolls texts.

"God is faithful in his words and pious in all his deeds. Blessed is the Lord and blessed is his name forever and ever," offered Parry in his translation of the Hebrew Bible's "missing verse" text found in the Dead Sea Scrolls.

He noted besides fitting into the Psalm's acrostic puzzle, the verse itself is also written in Hebrew poetic formula.
