An Exodus Scroll from Qumran: 4QpaleoExod and the Samaritan Tradition (Harvard Semitic Studies No. 30) (English, Hebrew and Ancient Greek Edition)

This work is a virtually unrevised form of my dissertation, which was completed in May 1985. My decision not to make any substantive revisions was based on the urgency of the task of bringing the Dead Sea Scrolls to publication. It has seemed best to issue this text-critical analysis of 4QpaleoExod(m) in its present form so that the findings can be more quickly made available to a broader audience. The time that would be required to refine the analysis of one scroll will be more wisely spent in working on the edition of several further scrolls. [From the Author's Preface]
