In this new series, "The Gentiles Shall Know My Name", Michael Rood welcomes Shabbat Night Live favorite Nehemia Gordon. Nehemia is a translator on the Dead Sea Scrolls, as well as a researcher deciphering ancient Hebrew manuscripts.

In translating scripture, the word "scribe" means "to count". When scribes would finish copying a section of text, they would count every dot, dash, jot and tittle and compare it to the original.  If they were one character off in their copied text count, they would recount the text.  The precision they executed is mind boggling.
