The Genesis Apocryphon (1Q20), also called the Tales of the Patriarchs or the Apocalypse of Lamech and labeled 1QapGen,[1] is one of the original seven Dead Sea Scrolls discovered in 1946 by Bedouin shepherds in Cave 1 near Qumran, a small settlement in the northwest corner of the Dead Sea. Composed in Aramaic, it consists of four sheets of leather.[2] Furthermore, it is the least well-preserved document of the original seven.[3] The document records a pseudepigraphal conversation between the biblical figure Lamech, son of Methuselah, and his son, Noah, as well as first and third person narratives associated with Abraham. It is one of the nonbiblical texts found at Qumran.[2] A range of compositional dates for the work have been suggested from the 3rd century BC to 1st century AD.[4] Palaeography and Carbon-14 dating were used to identify the age of the documents.[2] It is 13 inches in length and 2.75 inches in width at its widest point in the middle.[5]
