29. Published by John M. Allegro, “Biblical Paraphrase: Genesis, Exodus,” in
Qumrân Cave 4.I (4Q158–4Q186) (DJD 5; Oxford: Clarendon, 1968), 1–6. I follow the
analysis of Michael Segal who has shown that 4Q158 differs from the group labeled
as Reworked Pentateuch, 4Q364-367 (published by Emanuel Tov and Sidnie White
Crawford, “Reworked Pentateuch,” in Qumran Cave 4.VIII: Parabiblical Texts, Part 1
[DJD 13; Oxford: Clarendon, 1994], 187–351), and therefore cannot be considered
a copy of the same work. I also concur with Segal’s conclusion that the group of
Reworked Pentateuch texts consists of biblical rather than parabiblical texts and thus is
not included in the present list. Cf. Micheal Segal, “4QReworked Pentateuch or
4QPentateuch?” in The Dead Sea Scrolls: Fifty Years after Their Discovery (ed. L. H.
Schiffman, E. Tov, and J. C. VanderKam; Jerusalem: Israel Exploration Society and
the Shrine of the Book, 2000), 391–99.
30. Published by James C. VanderKam and Monica L. Brady, “368. 4QApocryphal
Pentaeuch A,” in Qumran Cave 4.XXVIII: Miscellanea, Part 2 (DJD 28; Oxford:
Clarendon, 2001), 131–49.
31. Published by James C. VanderKam and Monica L. Brady, “377. 4QApocryphal
Pentateuch B,” in Qumran Cave 4.XXVIII: Miscellanea, Part 2 (DJD 28; Oxford:
Clarendon, 2001), 205–17.
32. Published by Torlief Elgvin and Emanuel Tov, “Paraphrase of Genesis and
Exodus,” in Qumran Cave 4.VIII: Parabiblical Texts, Part 1 (DJD 13; Oxford: Clarendon,
1994), 417–41.
33. Published by Maurice Baillet, “Un Apocryphe de Moïse” in Les ‘Petites Grottes’ de
Qumrân (DJD 3; Oxford: Clarendon, 1962), 79–81. Although an identical name was
given to the work that survived in 4Q375–376, that of the Cave 2 is a different writing.
From a literary point of view the title suits 2Q21 better.
34. Published by John Strugnell, “Apocryphon of Moses,” in Qumran Cave 4.XIV:
Parabiblical Texts, Part 2 (DJD 19; Oxford: Clarendon, 1995), 111–36.
35. Published by Annette Steudel, “408. 4QApocryphon of Moses c ?” in Qumran
Cave 4.XXVI: Cryptic Texts and Miscellanea, Part 1 (DJD 36; Oxford: Clarendon, 2000),
298–315.
36. Published by John Strugnell, “4QApocryphon of Moses a,” in Qumran Cave
4.XIV: Parabiblical Texts, Part 2 (DJD 19; Oxford: Clarendon, 1995), 111–19. Strugnell
hesitantly suggested that it is a copy of the work preserved in 1Q29, 4Q376, and
4Q408. However, while there is textual overlapping among the three, none is found
between them and 4Q375. Also their respective literary character is not so similar.
4Q375 is therefore considered a separate work here.

Oxford: Clarendon, 1955), 91–97.
