Album 4: Sefer Torah Scroll Portion Presentation |
|
|
During a presentation made in May 2008, Dr. Gary Zimmerman presented
Matt Hanna with a genuine Sefer Torah Scroll portion from Calamar,
Romania dated prior to 1880.
|
|
|
The presentation was made
during a seminar
by Dr. Zimmerman on Hebrew scribes, scrolls, and Scriptures. His
collection of authentic
Hebrew parchment scrolls includes the entire Old Testament Canon and
is believed to be the only collection of its kind in existence in the
world
today.
Further information about Dr. Zimmerman and his work can be viewed at http://www.scrollproject.com. |

This parchment scroll
portion was donated by Dr. Zimmerman for prominent display in our
church
building in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. After our return to Taiwan, we
plan to frame and hang it at Cornerstone Baptist Church for the glory
of God and the education of God's people.

This parchment
contains the
Scripture text of Numbers 33:55 - Deuteronomy 1:28, in which God
determined
the borders of the land of Israel.
