Samaritanism (Hebrew: הַדָּת הַשּׁוֹמְרוֹנִית‎; Arabic: السامرية) is an Abrahamic monotheistic ethnic religion. It comprises the collective spiritual, cultural, and legal traditions of the Samaritan people, who often prefer to be called Israelite Samaritans. Samaritans originated from the Hebrews and Israelites and began to emerge as a relatively distinct group after the Kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Neo-Assyrian Empire during the Iron Age. Keeping the Patriarchal and Mosaic covenant as specified in the Samaritan Torah (Biblical Hebrew: תּוֹרָה, lit. 'Law') is central to the Samaritans' continuity as an Indigenous Heritage in the Holy Land. The Abisha scroll is traditionally held by the community to be the oldest existing scroll written by Abisha son of Aaron the Priest.
