Abstract:
Ulrich talks about the insertions in the Great Isaiah Scroll (1QIsa). lQIsa is the oldest witness (125-100 B.C.E) to the text of Isaiah, and it teaches people a great deal. It is generally similar to other manuscripts, but there is manifold variation at almost every level. The critical edition in Discoveries in the Judaean Desert (DJD) Volume XXXII includes 75 pages of textual variants, with about 35 variants per page (more than 2,600 variants). Many of those variants are minor, but seven examples highlight what they call isolated interpretive insertions by later scribes in the MT; they are not contained in the original 1QIsa text from Qumran.
