The House of the Lord: A Study of the Temple Scroll Columns 29:3b-47:18 (Publications of the Finnish Exegetical Society)

ii, 197 pages : illustrations ; 21 cm. In his doctoral dissertation, iThe Temple Scroll and the Biblical Text Traditions/i, Magnus Riska analysed the text of Columns 2 13:9. Through this second study of 11QT, which covers Columns 29:3b 47:18, the so-called Temple Source is now analysed in its entirety. One of the main results of this analysis is the quantity of the different categories: in comparison with the dissertation, which showed that the analysed material represented a higher amount of Biblical Paraphrase and Rewritten Bible than Individual Composition, the present study reveals that the second section on the contrary contains a significantly higher amount of Individual Composition than any of the other categories.
