10. The Psalm of 4Q372 1 within the context of Second Temple prayer

Abstract

Fragment 4Q372 1 from Qumran contains a psalm which includes an invocation to God as father. This form of address is rare, if not unknown, for pre-Christian Palestinian prayer, and thus this text provides an important precedent for the prayers of Jesus. Another feature of interest is the list of epithets for God in line 29, showing an expansion of divine attributes in prayer that was later forbidden. The text was apparently not composed by the Qumran community. The paleography indicates that it was written down during the Late Hasmonean to Early Herodian period.

19. A STREAM FROM EDEN: THE NATURE AND DEVELOPMENT OF A REVELATORY TRADITION IN THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS

Abstract

This thesis examines the nature and theological function of God’s revelation of knowledge in five texts discovered at Qumran: Instruction, the Treatise on the Two Spirits, the Hodayot, the Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice, and the Songs of the Sage. Chapter 1 is a historical survey of the different ways scholars have understood and classified God’s revelation of knowledge in the Scrolls. Scholars have often interpreted these texts in isolation from one another, and they have disagreed about whether the concept of divine revelation expressed in them is derived from the sapiential, prophetic, or apocalyptic traditions. I propose that all five of these texts should be interpreted together and that they all drew upon a single distinct revelatory tradition. In chapters 2–6, I examine each of the texts mentioned above by asking three questions: What did God reveal? How did he reveal it? What is the theological function of God’s revelation? In asking the last question, I am particularly interested in the role that God’s revelation of knowledge plays in the anthropological and soteriological worldview of the authors. Over the course of chapters 2–6, I argue that all five of these texts represent essentially the same revelatory tradition. In this tradition, God has revealed the mysteries of his cosmic design and the statutes of his covenant with creation to certain righteous people. God’s act of revelation takes place either through a visionary experience or an indwelling spirit that imparts knowledge. This knowledge of God’s cosmic design has the power to rectify the corrupt human condition which, in turn, allows those who have knowledge to enter into paradise where they can commune with the angels. Through God’s revelation of knowledge, the righteous can obtain the glorious state that Adam once possessed in the Garden of Eden. In chapter 7, I conclude the thesis by summarizing the principle features of the revelat, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Abstract

Motivated by the fact that many modem readers consider the story in Judge 19 to be a disturbing one. this thesis answers the question: How was the unnamed concubine portrayed in antiquity? Translations, retelling, and rabbinic discussions of Judge 19 that date from the Common Era to the end of the Classical Rabbinic Age are considered. This material includes the Masoretic text, versions of the Septuagint, Pseudo-Philo's Liber Antiquitatum Biblicarum, Josephus' Jewish Antiquities, Targum Pseudo-Jonathan, and rabbinic literature of the Tosefta and Babylonian Talmud. These texts are examined and compared to one another, paying close attention to the points of the Judge 19 story that are interpreted, as well as the possible reasons for interpretation. The "going out" of the concubine in Judge 19:2, the ambiguity surrounding her death (19:28), and the negative portrayal of the Levite are common points of interpretation. Many interpretations betray a concern for the portrayal of the Levite. Others, in particular the rabbinic literature, seem focused on the character of the concubine and her place in the story. By noting "exegetical motifs" that are common amongst the interpretations it is possible to realize some continuity in the way that Judge 19 was interpreted in early Jewish literature.
