4Q121

4Q121 (according to the old system as: 4Q LXXNum) is a septuagint manuscript written on parchment (made of animal skin), dated to the 1st century BCE. The scroll contains fragments of the biblical Book of Numbers 3:40-43; 4:5-16. It was found in Qumran in the Cave 4. This fragment is also numbered 803 in the list of manuscripts of the Septuagint by Alfred Rahlfs.

The manuscript was published and described in 1992 by Patrick Skehan in Qumran cave 4.4 (Discoveries in the Judaean desert 9). The old sign of the scroll indicates that it was found in the cave 4, which is the manuscript of the LXX or Septuagint, containing the contents of the Book of Numbers.

This manuscript is kept at the Rockefeller Museum in Jerusalem (Gr. 265 [4Q121]).
