The Qumran discoveries have demonstrated that much of the earliest
interpretation of Hebrew Scripture was accomplished through
rewriting: production of revised editions of biblical books, or
composition of new works drawing heavily upon Scripture for their
organization and content. This study advances our understanding of
the nature and purpose of such rewriting of Scripture by examining
the compositional methods and interpretive goals of the five
Reworked Pentateuch manuscripts from Qumran Cave 4 (4Q158, 364
367). This analysis, along with a comparison of the 4QReworked
Pentateuch manuscripts to the Samaritan Pentateuch and the Temple
Scroll, provides a clearer picture of how early Jewish communities
read, transmitted, and transformed their sacred textual traditions.
