Works from the biblical era can provide context and shed light into the biblical text. Enter a passage in the Ancient Literature guide section, and see what the Dead Sea Scrolls, for example, have to say about a specific biblical passage.

As you’re studying the book of Zechariah, the Ancient Literature guide section links you directly to where Zechariah 11 is discussed in one of the most important of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Damascus Document, where you can see how the author interpreted Zechariah’s “two staffs” as a reference to “the messiah of Aaron and of Israel.”
