9/11 · Zadokite Fragments

9/11 · Zadokite Fragments The Zadokite Fragments preserve an ancient Jewish community’s teachings about covenant, discipline, and daily life. Now associated with the Damascus Document, they belong to Second Temple Jewish tradition, though the Cairo Genizah copies are medieval. Related texts later found at Qumran helped establish that much older background. Spirit Nation’s Charles edition presents the two Genizah witnesses separately as Text A and Text B. It offers a specific historical witness to this community’s rules and self-understanding. https://t.co/n7KwcEjJMI
