Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to approach the question of the authoritative status of the “Rewritten Bible” texts, and their relation to ‘bible’ or ‘scripture,’ from a comparison to 11QTemple . Selected passages from 4QReworked Pentateuch are examined for the way in which the scriptural passage is manipulated, and compared to 11QTemple exegetical methodology. From this comparison we may be able to make some observations which will assist in understanding the role of authoritative texts, and their relation to one another, in the Second Temple Period.
