The oldest existing old testament documents I'd have to check

Oldest I'm aware of are the Dead Sea Scrolls (ca. 60 CE). The Greek LXX predates them by about 100 yrs., but the oldest LXX copy we have is from ca. 200 CE. The oldest Hebrew manuscripts we had before the dead sea scrolls were from around 1000 CE.

The date on the Hebrew text of the OT sounds right. What's the point?
