The Visions of Amram (4Q543-547), five copies of an Aramaic text
found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, stems from the pre-Hasmonean
period and provides evidence of a highly variegated society in
early Judaism. In this book, Robert R. Duke offers a new reading of
all the fragments and an in-depth discussion of their significance,
illuminating a time period in Jewish history that needs more
understanding and culminating in a suggested social location for
its production. Duke concludes that 4Q543-547 was written by a
disenfranchised group of priests who resided in Hebron. The
importance of the patriarchal burials, chronology, endogamy, the
figure of Moses, and angelology argue for a priestly group, whose
members were also influenced by apocalyptic thinking. The
suggestion of Hebron as the geographical location for this group is
based on the theories of George Nickelsburg's and David Suter's
work on 1 Enoch. Pre-Hasmonean Judaism was an intense time of
dialogue and disagreement, and 4Q543-547 is one more item to
consider in reconstructing these social realities.
