War Scroll

(543 words)

Author(s): Lichtenberger, Hermann
[German Version] What may have been the scroll’s original title may appear in 1QM, the complete manuscript: “For the Maskil: The Book/Rule of the War” (1QM 1). The manuscript dates from the Herodian period; its 19 columns (1Q33: 20) include the beginning of the text but not its end. The bottom edge is heavily damaged throughout; estimates of textual loss range between two and ten lines per column. Six manuscripts were found in Cave 4 (4Q491–496), four of which (4Q492, 494, 495, 496) represent the text type of 1QM, in addition to the War Scroll-Like Fragment (4Q497, 4Q471, and 4Q285). 4Q491 (Ma)…

(548 words)

Author(s): Lichtenberger, Hermann

(418 words)

Author(s): Lichtenberger, Hermann
[German Version] Hodayot, “songs of praise,” a Qumran-Essene (Qumran, Essenes) song collection (2nd half of the 2nd cent. bce), preserved in eight manuscripts (1QHa, 1QHb, 4Q427–432), the most extensive of which Sukenik & Avigad published in 1954 in 18 columns and 66 fragments.

Damascus Document

(856 words)

Author(s): Lichtenberger, Hermann
[German Version] The Damascus Document has been known since its discovery in 1896/97 in the Genizah of the Ezra Synagogue in Cairo and its publication in 1910 by Schechter. Although it has also been called Fragments of a Zadokite Work because of the special role played by the Zadokites (Zadok/Zadokites) in it, the designation Damascus Document (Cairo Damascus Document = CD [Qumran]) has generally established itself because of the mention of the “new covenant in the land of Damascus” (VI 19; VIII 21; XIX 33). The expression “the last interpretation of the law” (4Q266 11, 20f.; etc.) may represent the original title (Stegemann; Baumgarten is more cautious in this regard).…
