Monotheism in the Synagogues • The Nash Papyrus (165 - 37BC)
The Nash Papyrus contains the entire decalogue (Ex 20 2-17 or Deut 5 6-21) and the Shema (Deut 6 4-5), on a single leaf, so it is clear that it does not come from a roll of the Pentateuch, but rather formed a separate leaf, used as a lectionary or for teaching purposes.
