Scrolls were the primary medium for recording texts in ancient times, including the Scriptures. The concept of a "roll" is significant in understanding how the Word of God was preserved and transmitted throughout history.<br><br><b>Old Testament Usage</b><br><br>The Hebrew word for roll, "megillah," is frequently translated as "scroll" in English Bibles. One notable instance is found in the book of Jeremiah. In <a href="/jeremiah/36-2.htm">Jeremiah 36:2</a> , God commands the prophet, "Take a scroll and write on it all the words I have spoken to you concerning Israel, Judah, and all the other nations from the time I began speaking to you—during the reign of Josiah until today." This passage highlights the importance of recording divine revelation for posterity.<br><br>Another significant mention is in <a href="/ezekiel/2-9.htm">Ezekiel 2:9-10</a> , where the prophet Ezekiel describes a vision: "Then I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me, and in it was a scroll, which He unrolled before me. And on both sides were written words of lamentation, mourning, and woe." Here, the roll symbolizes the message of judgment that Ezekiel is to deliver to the people of Israel.<br><br><b>New Testament Usage</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the Greek equivalent "biblion" is used, which can also mean a book or scroll. In <a href="/luke/4-17.htm">Luke 4:17-20</a> , Jesus reads from the scroll of the prophet Isaiah in the synagogue: "The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it is written: 'The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor...'" This event underscores the fulfillment of prophecy and the authority of Jesus as the Messiah.<br><br><b>Symbolic and Prophetic Significance</b><br><br>The roll or scroll often carries symbolic weight in biblical literature. In <a href="/revelation/5.htm">Revelation 5:1-5</a> , the Apostle John describes a vision of a scroll with seven seals: "Then I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals." The opening of this scroll by the Lamb, who is Christ, signifies the unfolding of God's redemptive plan and the revelation of divine mysteries.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context</b><br><br>In ancient Jewish culture, scrolls were meticulously prepared and handled with great reverence. The process of creating a scroll involved skilled scribes who would carefully inscribe the text onto prepared animal skins or papyrus. The scrolls were then rolled up and stored in protective cases. This method of preservation ensured the accuracy and continuity of the biblical texts over generations.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The use of rolls or scrolls in the Bible emphasizes the written nature of God's revelation. It underscores the importance of Scripture as a tangible and authoritative record of God's communication with humanity. The imagery of the scroll also points to the unfolding of God's purposes in history, as seen in prophetic literature.<br><br>In summary, the concept of a "roll" in the Bible is rich with historical, cultural, and theological significance, serving as a testament to the enduring nature of God's Word.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Roll</span><p>A book in ancient times consisted of a single long strip of paper or parchment, which was usually kept rolled upon a stick, and was unrolled when a person wished to read it. The roll was usually written on one side only, and hence the particular notice of one that was "written within and without."

It had been in use in Egypt for perhaps 2,000 years at the time when, according to the Pentateuch, the earliest Biblical books were written in this form. The Babylonian tablet seems to have been the prevailing form in Palestine up to about 1350 B.C., but by 1100 B.C., at least, the roll had been in established use for some time as far North as Byblos. Two Hebrew words, gillayon, meghillah, one Aramaic, cephar, and one Greek word, biblion, are so translated in the King James Version. Cephar (<a href="/ezra/6-1.htm">Ezra 6:1</a>, the Revised Version (British and American) "archives, margin "books"), with the corresponding Hebrew form cepher, is the generic word for any whole work large or small, but as a book form (<a href="/isaiah/34-4.htm">Isaiah 34:4</a>) it may mean "roll," and, according to Blau (pp. 37, 45, etc.), it never does mean anything else. Both the other words seem to be connected with galal, "roll," which is the technical term for opening or closing a book. The meghillath cepher (<a href="/jeremiah/36-2.htm">Jeremiah 36:2</a>) means the unwritten roll, or the roll considered in its material form as contrasted with the work. Meghillah, which is found in <a href="/ezra/6-2.htm">Ezra 6:2</a> (English Versions of the Bible, "roll"), Jeremiah (often), Ezekiel (often) and Zechariah, is a somewhat late word, and came to mean a small roll (but with a complete work) as distinguished from a book, corresponding thus to the modern distinction of pamphlet and book or document and book. The word gillayon is translated in the Revised Version (British and American) as "tablet," and is universally regarded as meaning (<a href="/isaiah/8-1.htm">Isaiah 8:1</a>) some smooth surface, corresponding to the same word in <a href="/isaiah/3-23.htm">Isaiah 3:23</a> which is rendered "hand-mirror." But "cylinder-seal" would possibly fit the sense in both cases; this being hung round the neck as an ornament in one case and inscribed with a personal name in the other.<br><br>Biblion is regarded by the Bible translators as equivalent to meghillah in the sense of small roll. It is in fact 4 times in the Septuagint of <a href="/nasb/jeremiah/36.htm">Jeremiah 36</a> used as the translation for meghillah, but very much oftener it is the translation for cepher, for which in fact it is the correct technical equivalent (Birt, Buchrolle, 21). Indeed the "small book" (Thayer, Lexicon, 101) is hardly consistent with the ideas of the heavens as a scroll, of the Lamb's Book of Life, or of the vast quantity of books of <a href="/john/21-25.htm">John 21:25</a>, although in <a href="/luke/4-17.htm">Luke 4:17</a> it may perhaps correspond closely with meghillah in the sense of a complete roll and work, which is at the same time a whole part of a larger work. Its use in <a href="/revelation/6-14.htm">Revelation 6:14</a> is reminiscent of <a href="/isaiah/34-4.htm">Isaiah 34:4</a> ("scroll"), and is conclusive for the roll form. It is indeed always technically a roll and never codex or tablet.<br><br>It is not likely that Isaiah and John (here and in his Gospel, 21:25) refer directly to the Babylonian idea that the heavens are a series of written tablets or to the rabbinic saying that "if all the oceans were ink, all reeds pens, the heavens and earth sheets to write upon, and all men writers, still it would not suffice for writing out the teachings of my Masters" (Blau, op. cit., 34). Nevertheless, the "whole Cosmos" does suggest "the heavens and earth" as sheets to write on, and under all there does perhaps lurk a conception of the broad expanse of heaven as a roll for writing upon.<br><br>LITERATURE.<br><br>Birt, Die Buchrolle in der Kunst, Leipzig, 1907; Jew Encyclopedia, XI, 126-34, "Scroll of the Law"; Blau, Studien z. althebr.
