Abstract
Among the unedited texts of Qumran Cave 11 there is a small fragment which (according to my reconstruction) contains an ordinance prohibiting the raising of chickens in Jerusalem. Obviously this fragment (11QT c ) belongs to a manuscript of the Temple Scroll and should be placed at the top of column XLVIII of 11QT c , following the ordinances against using im ־ ported hides of pure animals in Jerusalem. This new fragment thus sheds light on some early legal sources referring to the purity of Jerusalem and the sacred food eaten there.
