Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Wadi Murabba''at is a ravine cut by a seasonal stream which runs from the Judean desert east of Bethlehem past the Herodium down to the Dead Sea 18 km south of Khirbet Qumran. It was here in caves that Jewish fighters hid out during the Bar Kochba revolt, leaving behind a number of documents including some letters signed by Simon Bar Kochba.When the Ta''amireh bedouin tribe that discovered the first cave at Qumran, they learned how valuable the texts they found were, so they began to search for other sites that might contain more scrolls. This led in the autumn of 1951 to the discovery of caves high up in the near vertical rock face of the Wadi Murabba''at. With the confirmation that the new texts had come from Murabba''at, Gerald Lankester Harding and Roland de Vaux commenced official excavations there in January 1952.Four caves were examined.
