This volume inaugurates the publication of the Dead Sea Scrolls from the main collection discovered in Cave 4 at Qumran. It continues six biblical manuscripts written in ancient Palaeo-hebrew script, four Septuagint manuscripts, and five hitherto unknown compositions. The Hebrew texts antedate by a millennium what had previously been the earliest surviving biblical codices in the original language, and they document the pluriform nature of the ancient biblical textual tradition before the text became standardized. The most extensive and significant manuscript exhibits the expanded textual tradition that formed the basis for the Samaritan Pentateuch and helps illuminate the historical and theological relationship between the Jews and Samaritans.

Review
"Skehan and the later editors have performed an exemplary job in deciphering the fragments and reconstructing them into columns. This volume will be invaluable to text-critical scholars of the Hebrew Bible and will also be important for the field of Samaritan scholarship."--Journal of Near Eastern Studies
"All biblical scholars are indebted to the editors for this exemplary edition."--The Journal of Religion
"This volume is a very welcome addition to the corpus of official publications of Qumran biblical texts."--The Catholic Biblical Quarterly
