4Q Pesher Nahum, long considered one of the most important Qumran
texts for understanding the historical context of the Dead Sea
Scrolls, is the focus of this critical study. The author presents
new readings and undertakes extensive analysis and reconstruction
of broken text. Areas of focus include text-critical implications
for the biblical text of Nahum, scribal practices, and formal and
composition patterns common throughout the Qumran Pmesharim. One of
the contraversial aspects of the study is a challenge to accepted
thought; that the mysterious "Lion of Wrath" figure of the text has
nothing to do with the Hasmonaean king Alexander Jannaeus. Rather,
this study argues that Pesher Nahum portrays a coming conquest from
the "Kittim", and the "Lion of Wrath" is to be understood within
well-known biblical motifs of a Nebuchadnezzar-like foreign invader
coming to deliver the wrath of God upon a sinful Israel.
