The Dead Sea Scrolls are an invaluable source of information about
Jewish biblical interpretation in antiquity. This volume by
preeminent scholars in the field examines central aspects of
scriptural interpretation as it was practiced at Qumran and
discusses their implications for understanding the biblical
tradition.
While many of the forms of biblical interpretation found in the
Scrolls have parallels elsewhere in Jewish literature, other kinds
are original to the Scrolls and were unknown prior to the discovery
of the caves. These chapters explore examples of biblical
interpretation unique to Qumran, including legal exegesis and the
Pesher. Readers will also find discussion of such fascinating
subjects as the "rewritten Bible," views on the creation of
humanity, the "Pseudo-Ezekiel" texts, the pesharim, and the prophet
David.
