The present volume is one of the first to concentrate on a specific
theme of biblical interpretation in the Dead Sea Scrolls, namely
the book of Genesis. In particular the volume is concerned with the
links displayed by the Qumranic biblical interpetation to the
inner-biblical interpretation and the final shaping of the Hebrew
scriptures. Moshe Bar-Asher studies cases of such inner biblical
interpretative comments; Michael Segal deals with the Garden of
Eden story in the scrolls and other contemporary Jewish sources;
Reinhard Kratz analizes the story of the Flood as preamble for the
lives of the Patriarchs in the Hebrew Bible; Devorah Dimant
examines this theme in the Qumran scrolls; Roman Viehlhauer
explores the story of Sodom and Gomorrah; George Brooke and Atar
Livneh discuss aspects of Jacob's career; Harald Samuel review the
career of Levi; Liora Goldman examines the Aramaic work the Visions
of Amram; Lawrence Schiffman and Aharon Shemesh discuss halakhic
aspects of stories about the Patriarchs; Moshe Bernstein provides
an overview of the references to the Patriarchs in the Qumran
scrolls.
