This paper will offer evidence supporting the Shapira Scroll as a proto-biblical document. It will do this by comparing and contrasting passages from the following three documents: the canonical text of Leviticus, the Cairo Geniza’s Damascus Document (CD), and the Decalogue – together with its corresponding Blessings and Curses – of the Shapira Scroll. It will show that the Damascus Document agrees with the Shapira Scroll where variations appear in Leviticus.
