Description: This volume, the latest in this pathbreaking series, contains a collection of compositions from Cave 4 at Qumran, written during the Second Temple Period and linked to the Hebrew Bible through text, characters, themes, or genre. Some were completely unknown before their discovery here. The documents greatly enhance our understanding of biblical interpretation at this period.

Review Quotes: "[A] magnificent publication....The transcriptions are clear and true to the photographs and the text notations provide a wealth of information about proposed readings as well as variants....Those who pursue Old Testament criticism with any degree of care and precision cannot be without this authoritative publication. The editors and the publisher are to be commended for a job well done."--Bibliotheca Sacra
