This is the first major commentary in English on Pesher Habakkuk
for forty years. It elucidates the nature of 1QpHab as the earliest
commentary on the prophecy of Habakkuk by a detailed study of the
biblical quotation and sectarian interpretation. This commentary
provides a new edition of the scroll, including new readings, and
detailed palaeographical, philological, exegetical and historical
notes and discussion. It shows that the pesherist imitates the
allusive style of the oracles of Habakkuk and also draws on
lexemes, phrases, and themes from other biblical texts and Jewish
sources. It shows that the pesherist identified the Kittim with the
Romans who conquered Judaea in 63 BCE, and suggests that the scroll
refers to several righteous and wicked figures, including the last
Hasmonean high priests.
