Wicked Priest - Notes

Notes

^ α: 1QpHab 1.13 is sometimes reconstructed as (fifth) use of the sobriquet. The reconstruction is made by analogy to 4QpPsa frags. 1-10, col. 4.7-10, but has been challenged, thus pushing the first reference to the Wicked Priest to col. 8, with the interpretation of the first of a series of woes. 1QpHab 5.8-12 interprets "wicked one" as the Liar, rather than the Wicked Priest
^ β: Some scholars question whether the Wicked Priest was a High Priest or even a priest at all, and still others whether a historical identification is possible or appropriate.
^ γ: Daniel 11 was extant in the Qumran corpus: 4QDanc: 11.1-2, 13-17, 25-29; 4QDana: 11:13-16; pap6QDan: 11:33-36, 38. The relevance phrase is extant in the first two scrolls.

Famous quotes containing the word notes:

    I am thankful for small mercies. I compared notes with one of my friends who expects everything of the universe, and is disappointed when anything is less than best, and I found that I begin at the other extreme, expecting nothing, and am always full of thanks for moderate goods.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    In trying to understand the appeal of best-sellers, it is well to remember that whistles can be made sounding certain notes which are clearly audible to dogs and other of the lower animals, though man is incapable of hearing them.
    Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you—like music to the musician or Marxism to the Communist—or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
