Luqa / DSS - Larry Kelsey - 10-06-2003 Shlama Akhay, This is an interesting quote from a book on the Dead Sea Scrolls. The title of the book is 'The Dead Sea Scrolls: A New Translation; Translated and with Commentary' by Michael Wise, Martin Abegg, Jr., and Edward Cook. This particular chapter is entitled 'Words of Levi.' The author is comparing Luke 2:32 & 34 with Manuscript #541 of Qumran Cave 4 (Fragment 9, Column 1). The bracketed areas are where wear, deterioration and other problems have occurred. Sometimes educated guesses that match Biblical texts, surrounding context, etc. are made. Here's the quote from the book.... Quote:A large fragment of 4Q541 describes a priest who is to appear in the future, whose religious teaching brings light to his generation, but who also arouses fierce opposition. Like Jesus, he is a "light for revelation" but also a "sign to be spoken against" (Luke 2:32,34). Shlama w'Burkate, Larry Kelsey |
