The Pesher Nahum Scroll from Qumran: An Exegetical Study of 4Q169
BRILL, 2004 - 351 pages
The
underlying premise of this study is the close relationship between
Pesher Nahum (4Q169) and its biblical base-text. Historical and literary
considerations, as well as theological, sociological, halakhic,
textual, and linguistic data, are examined in terms of their exegetical
functions.This edition includes a transcription and translation of
4QpNah, with textual notes. The treatment of 4QpNah follows the natural
division of the extant text into five thematic literary sections, or
"pericopes," each consisting of a series of "lemma/pesher units." For
each pericope, proposed historical contextualizations are evaluated on
the basis of exegetical criteria. "Equivalents" are "mapped" for each
unit, such that individual elements of each lemma are aligned with
corresponding elements from the biblical base-text. A focus upon
"lemma/pesher correspondence" provides the framework for systematic
exegetical analysis of 4QpNah.
