The present volume was compiled as a respectful tribute to A.S. van
der Woude and presented to him on the occasion of his 65th
birthday, which coincided with his retirement as professor of Old
Testament and Intertestamental Studies at the University of
Groningen, a chair he held for more than thirty years. The title of
this "Festschrift," "The Scriptures and the Scrolls," reflects the
two fields of study to which he has devoted his scholarly life, not
only by doing research himself, but also by stimulating many of his
colleagues to collaborate in publications initiated by him. The
contributions, a melange of studies covering the wide range of Van
der Woude's interests, have been arranged according to the order:
Hebrew Bible (following the sequence of the books), Apocrypha, Dead
Sea Scrolls, and Rabbinic Tradition. From the Contents: E. Tov,
'4QLevd (4Q26)' C.J. Labuschagne, ''You Shall not Boil a Kid in its
