Psalms 146-150, sometimes called "Final Hallel" or "Minor Hallel",
are often argued to have been written as a literary end of the
Psalter. However, if sources other than the Hebrew Masoretic Text
are taken into account, such an original unit of Psalms 146-150 has
to be questioned. "The End of the Psalter" presents new
interpretations of Psalms 146-150 based on the oldest extant
evidence: the Hebrew Masoretic Text, the Hebrew Dead Sea Scrolls,
and the Greek Septuagint. Each Psalm is analysed separately in all
three sources, complete with a translation and detailed comments on
form, intertextuality, content, genre, and date. Comparisons of the
individual Psalms and their intertextual references in the ancient
sources highlight substantial differences between the transmitted
texts. The book concludes that Psalms 146-150 were at first
separate texts which only in the Masoretic Text form the end of the
Psalter. It thus stresses the importance of Psalms Exegesis before
Psalter Exegesis, and argues for the inclusion of ancient sources
beyond to the Masoretic Text to further our understanding of the
Psalms.
