Notes (27) Aramaic Testament of Levi (4Q213-214) Previous Discussions: J. T. Milik, 'Le Testament de Lévi en araméen: Fragment de la grotte 4 de Qumrân', Revue Biblique 62 (1955) 398-406, plate 4; idem, Books, 23-4, 214, 244 and 263; Beyer, Teste, 188-209. Photographs: PAM 43.241 and 43.243 (Manuscript A), 43.260 (Manuscript B), ER 1277, 1279 and 1296. The Qumran Testament of Levi corresponds at a few points to the Greek Testament of Levi. It is much more closely related to the medieval manuscripts of an Aramaic Testament of Levi from the Cairo Genizah probably dating to the tenth or eleventh century AD. Those manuscripts reside at Cambridge and Oxford. These correspondences have allowed us to restore large missing portions while presenting substantial previously unknown portions as well. The Aramaic was probably the source for the Greek as well. Manuscript A: For Fragment 1 Column 1, cf. Greek Testament of Levi 2:4b and 4:2; for Fragment 1 Column 2, cf. Greek Testament of Levi 2:5-6; for Fragment 3, cf. the Oxford manuscript Column A and 1Q21, 4-5; for Fragment 4 Column 1-Column 2 Line 1, cf. the Cambridge manuscript Columns E- F. For Manuscript B: by and large this fragment is identical to Oxford C Line 6 to D Line 4. (28) A Firm Foundation (Aaron A - 4Q541) Previous Discussions: É. Puech, 'Fragments d'un apocryphe de Lévi et le personnage eschatologique: 4QTestLévi{cd}(?) et 4QAj{a}', in J. Trebolle Barrera and L. Vegas Montaner (eds), Proceedings of the International Congress on the Dead Sea Scrolls -Madrid, 18-21 March, 1991 (Universidad Computense/ Brill:Madrid/Leiden, 1992). Photographs: PAM 43.587 and 43.588, ER 1534 and 1535. (29) Testament of Kohath (4Q542)
Previous Discussions: J. T. Milik, '4Q Visions de {c} Amram et une citation d'Origène', Review Bihlique 79 (1972) 97; Beyer, Texte, 209-10; R. H. Eisenman, 'The Testament of Kohath', Biblica Archaeology Review, Nov/Dec (1991) 64; É. Puech; 'Le Testament de Qahat en araméen de la Grotte 4 (4QTQah)', Revue de Qumran 15 (1991) 23-54. Photographs: PAM 42.600 and 43.565, ER 923 and 1513. (30) Testament of Amram (4Q543, 545-548) Previous Discussions: J. T. Milik, '4Q Visions de 'Amram', 77-97; P. J. Kobleski, Mechizedek and Melchiresha' (Washington, DC: Catholic Biblical Association of America, 1981) 24-36. Photographs: PAM 43.566, 43.567, 43.577, 43.578, 43.586 and 43.597, ER 1514, 1515, 1525, 1526, 1533 and 1544. Manuscript C preserves most fully the beginning of the work. Manuscript ? is known thus in the literature; it has never received a more complete official designation. In order to avoid confusion, therefore, we have adopted this admittedly rather silly nomenclature. (31) Testament of Naphtali (4Q215) Previous Discussions: Milik, Years, 34; idem, Books, 198. Photographs: PAM 41.915 and 43.237, ER 512 and 1273. Along with previously unknown details, Column 2 preserves the Hebrew form of the Greek Testament of Naphtali 1:9, 11-12. It is from this Greek parallel that we have derived the name of the father, Rotheos. (32) Admonitions to the Sons of Dawn (4Q298) Previous Discussions: None. Photographs: PAM 43.384, ER 1378. (33) The Sons of Righteousness (Proverbs - 4Q424) Previous Discussions: None. Photographs: PAM 43.502, ER 1452. 6 (34) The Demons of Death (Beatitudes - 4Q525) Previous Discussion: É. Puech, '4Q525 et les péricopes des béatitudes en Ben Sira et Matthieu', Revue Biblique 98 (1991) 80-106. Photographs: PAM 43.595, 43.596 and 43.608, ER 1542, 1543 and 1554.
