Dead Sea in the Bible
Also called Salt Sea
The Salt Sea marks Judah's eastern border and the desolation left after Sodom. Ezekiel's closing vision has a river from the temple running down to it and making its waters fresh.
Archaeology
The caves at Qumran on its northwestern shore produced the Dead Sea Scrolls, including a complete Isaiah scroll a thousand years older than any previously known Hebrew manuscript.
