Abstract: 

The present short note documents new readings in the Ben Sira Masada Scroll derived from the new photographs provided online at www.bensira.org. In addition to offering new possibilities for reading some difficult passages, the new readings demonstrate that the orthography was not as predictable as some past scholars have suggested.
