4Q462-נוספות ל

In Meghillot 1 a fresh edition of 4Q462 (4QNarrative) was published with detailed comments and discussion. The present note offers a slightly different supplement for line 8 in order to create a syntactically smoother phrase. Another alteration is suggested for line 4, where the future 3rd per. sing. ]יאמר replaces the first edition's יאמר[ו in order to provide a better link with the following line, which speaks of Israel. Finally לוקח[נו in line 5 is connected with Isa. 52:2–3. Thus, Isaiah 52 constitutes the background not only of the second section of the text (4Q462 1 13–19) but also of the first part, which deals with Egypt (4Q462 1 1–12).
