Abstract

This article explores the reworking of Moses’ farewell address to Israel in 1Q22 (1QWords of Moses). Analyzing exegetical techniques employed by this scroll and illuminating some of its passages that have not been adequately read and understood, the article suggests that the scroll's recasting of the Deuteronomic account of the Mosaic farewell discourse is modeled on the Sinai revelation.
