Abstract: 

The different scribal hands show that the Qumran Cave 4 manuscript 4Q24 (4QLevb) actually consists of two different manuscripts: a first-century BCE manuscript with parts of Leviticus 1–3 (4Q24a), and a second-century BCE manuscript (4Q24b) with sections of Leviticus 21–25. Two hitherto unidentified fragments are assigned to Lev 25:44–46 in 4Q24b.
