The Nash Papyrus. Containing a version of the Decalogue and parts of Deuteronomy 6:4–5, this text, dating to the second century B.C.E., is probably a liturgical fragment. Until the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Nash Papyrus was the oldest biblical fragment. It varies in places from the Masoretic text, as in the order of the “Thou shalt not” commandments; in some of its variations, the Nash papyrus agrees with the Septuagint.
