Abstract:
This paper explores the reworking of the biblical Flood story (Gen 6–9) in 4Q370 i. The discussion analyzes the peculiar biblical exegesis embedded in 4Q370 i, focusing on the abundance of food provided by God to the antediluvians, the nature of their sin, their judgment and punishment in the Flood, and the destiny of the giants. The various techniques employed in reworking the biblical texts are noted and the parallel texts from the contemporary and later Jewish sources are discussed. Since 4Q370's Flood account alludes to the biblical descriptions of the Day of the Lord, I suggest that its author viewed the Flood as a paradigm of the apocalyptic judgment and reworked it with a paraenetic purpose in view.
