Dead Sea Scrolls Uncovered - The Preterist Archive

Notes
(8) The Angels of Mastemoth and the Rule of Belial (4Q3 90)
Previous Discussions: J. T. Milik, Books,254-5; D. Dimant, 'New Light from Qumran on the Jewish
Pseudepigrapha - 4Q390', in J. Trebolle Barrera and L. Vegas Montaner (eds), Proceedings of the
International Congress on the Dead Sea Scrolls - Madrid, 1 8-2 1 March 1 991 (Universidad
Complutense/ Brill: Madrid/Leiden, 1992). Photograph: PAM 43.5 06. This text may be called a
pseudo-Moses, but it is uncertain that Moses is the 'author' or person addressed. The language of the
text is reminiscent of the book of Jeremiah, so this might be a pseudo-Jeremiah text; it may also have
been addressed to some other visionary.
(9) Pseudo-Jeremiah (4Q 385)
Previous Discussions: None. Photographs: PAM 42.505 and 43.496. Because of the geography of this
text and its vocabulary, it can also be viewed as a pseudo-Ezekiel text.
(10) Second Ezekiel (4Q385 -89)
Previous Discussions: J. Strugnell and D. Dimant,'4Q Second Ezekiel', Revue de Qumran 13(1988)54-
8; D. Dimant and J.Strugnell, 'The Merkabah Vision in Second Ezekiel (4Q385 4)', Revue de Qumran
14(1990)331-48. Photographs: PAM 43.493, 43.495, 43.501, 43.503 and 43.504. The order of the
fragments is uncertain; we present them roughly as their relation to the book of Ezekiel would suggest.
The reference to 'the Angels of Mastemoth' in Fragments 4-6 ties it to the first text we have given this
name to.
(11) Pseudo-Daniel (4Q243-245)
Previous Discussion: J. T. Milik, "'Prière de Nabonide" et autres écrits d'un cycle de Daniel. Fragments
araméens de Qumran 4', Revue Biblique 63 (1956)411-15. Photographs: PAM 43.247,43.249, 43.252
and 43.259. The text presented here is a tentative composite of the three manuscripts. Because these
texts are so fragmentary, the order of the portions is uncertain, nor is it certain that Manuscript C is the
same literary work as Manuscripts A and B. Manuscript C certainly preserves the end of its text (here,
Lines 5 1 - 5).
(12) The Son of God (4Q246)
Previous Discussions: J. Fitzmyer,'The Contribution of Qumran Aramaic to the Study of the New
Testament', New Testament Studies 20 (1974) 391-4; Milik, Books, 60, 2 13, 2 61; F. Garcia-Martinez,
'4Q24 6: Tipo de Anticristo o Libertador escatolôgico?' in El Misterio de la Palabra. Homenaje a L.
Alonso Schôkel (Cristiandad; Madrid, 1983) 229-44. Photographs: PAM 42.601 and 43.236.
(13) The Vision of the Four Kingdoms (4Q547)
Previous Discussion: J. T. Milik, "'Prière de Nabonide" et autres écrits d'un cycle de Daniel. Fragments
