“…The continuous pesharim also actually reveal data about the unfolding of God's predetermined plan, and employ formulaic terminology in doing so, including especially the expressions ‫"פשרו"‬ or ‫על"‬ ‫הדבר‬ ‫".פשר‬ However, the revelations in the continuous pesharim do not pertain to the former days, but to the latter or last days ‫הימים‬ ‫.אחרית‬ Hence, their base-texts, or hypotexts, are prophetic scriptures rather than the Pentateuchal material found in 4Q180 and 4Q464. 62 The leader with whom they are associated is the Teacher of Righteousness. 63 In the Damascus Document and 4Q252, the term pesher is used in a formulaic manner similar to that employed throughout the continuous pesharim, for cases of the implementation of pesher as a technique, in which interpretations of particular biblical verses connect the former times to the End of Days.…”

“…It is precisely their non-covenantal status that is useful to the authors of these texts. See Tzoref, "Covenantal Election," 85-88; and see Tigchelaar's comments on the use of the Sodom narrative in the "actualizing or eschatological exegesis" of 4Q177 4 10 (ibid., [60][61][62]. Compare the treatment of Lot in Jubilees to that in Wisd 10:1-14, where Lot appears in a list of righteous patriarchs: "[Wisdom] rescued a righteous man [Lot] when the ungodly were perishing; he escaped the fire that descended on the Five Cities."…”

This study re-examines the use of the term Pesher, and the related root , in Qumran compositions, and their significance with respect to conceptions of determinism and periodization in the corpus. It discusses how the treatment of the book of Genesis in 4Q180, 4Q252, and the Admonitions sections of the Damascus Document reflect a worldview and hermeneutic that are generally associated with the continuous and thematic pesharim at Qumran. Pesher compositions reveal how scripture is fulfilled in current events. These related works demonstrate the fulfillment of the divine grand plan in scripture and past events. It is suggested that these texts share a “performative” aspect: in all of these compositions, the act of transmitting divinely-revealed knowledge is as much an actualization and fulfillment of eschatological expectations as the unfolding social and political history that is tied to the texts.

“…Not all agree that authority works in this mono-directional way. Brooke construes relationships between rewritten works and their base traditions as analogous to Genettian hypertexts and hypotexts (2010). Hypertexts do not merely usurp authority, but bestow it upon their hypotexts – reworking a text is an acknowledgment or assertion of a base tradition’s authority.…”

“…The conferral of authority is a reciprocal process. In other words, ‘hypertexts enable the authentic renewal of their hypotexts’ (2010: 52) as part of a broader process observable in all manner of early Jewish literature.…”

This article explores the ways in which the New Testament functions as a witness to Jewish literary production, focusing on the concept of rewritten scripture. I argue that Matthew’s relationship to Mark offers insight into critical discussions regarding rewritten scripture as a concept. These early Christian texts lend credibility to the idea that the generic aspects of the rewritten scripture are secondary to its identity as a flexible set of exegetical procedures practised on a scriptural base tradition. I explore this issue by analysing the controversial history of scholarship on rewritten texts and by analysing the ways in which Matthew’s use of Mark constitutes rewrittenness.

An Unstudied Compilation with the Name of Andrew the Apostle

The paper presents an unstudied text with the name of the Apostle Andrew in the miscellany of 15th c., now Muz.10272, Rashka orthography. The text (with traces of archaic archetype) is a unique copy of the compilation. The history of the manuscript is very interesting, because it belonged to the A. Hilferding collection in the past. The aim of the author is to propose a preliminary analysis of the text, its origin and chronology, as well as its context in the Slavic tradition.
