The exhibit will come to Idaho Falls in February.

It's titled Ink and Blood — Dead Sea Scrolls to the King James Bible.

Also on display will be 5,000 year-old examples of the earliest writing and Jewish texts dating to 700 B-C.

Several historic Bibles, including the first handwritten Bible in English and leaves from the Guttenberg Bible, will be on display.

A First edition of the King James Version will also show in the exhibit.

It's the first time the Dead Sea Scrolls and many of the Bibles will travel to Idaho.
