IV. Apparatus II: The Judean Desert Scrolls and Quotations in Rabbinic Literature
the text, most likely indicating sections, were indicated by the section symbol (§), without,
however, differentiation between open and closed sections, which were listed in the appendix.
79 The material was collated on the basis of the final editions of each text. In the few
instances in which our reading of the text differs from that of its editor, this has been indicated
in a footnote (cf. 4:16; 5:15; 23:45). The following is a list of sources together with
their paleographic details:

58. Explicit quotations in non-biblical scrolls: The influence of the book of Ezekiel on
79 A similar policy was adopted for the book of Isaiah, for which the detailed list of section markers
was published by Y. Maori, “The Tradition of Pisqa6ot in Ancient Hebrew MSS: The Isaiah Texts
and Commentaries from Qumran,” Textus 10 (1982) p-` (Hebrew). In the present volume no need
was felt to distinguish between the different types of spacing and indentation , and the customary
distinction between ‘open’ and ‘closed’ sections was employed. Cf. E. Tov, “The Background of the
Sense Division in the Biblical Texts,” Delimitation Criticism: A New Tool in Biblical Scholarship
(Pericope 1; ed. M. C. A. Korpel and J. M. Oesch; Assen: Van Gorcum, 200) 312–350.
