It provides a convenient index to the 276 biblical scrolls published in the Discoveries in the Judaean Desert series and elsewhere. This keyword-in-context concordance, prepared by Martin G. Abegg, Jr., James E. Bowley and Edward M. Cook contains a new and consistent linguistic analysis of all the words found in the biblical Dead Sea Scrolls. The total number of entries totals nearly 95,000 words. Every entry includes the keyword with its context. All keywords have an English translation, and the Hebrew and Aramaic sections are organized in alphabetical order rather than by verbal root, which makes the concordance easier to consult for the non-specialist. This concordance to the biblical texts from the Judaean Desert is the third of a series of three. Volume one consists of concordances to the non-biblical texts from Qumran...

This study is not presented as complete history of that term nor as an exploration of its theological implications, but it will partially describe that history and the term’s origin and meaning in Jewish theology. The main focus of this paper will be to demonstrate how a rich and mystical theological myth and concept is used by practitioners of Judaism, specifically in the “lived religion” of interreligious work of Jews (non-theologians) in the Deep South (Jackson, Mississippi), where they are a small minority.

The Dead Sea Scrolls Concordance covers all the Qumran material as published in the Discoveries in the Judaean Desert series, as well as the major texts from caves 1 and 11, which appeared elsewhere. This keyword-in-context concordance, prepared by Martin G. Abegg in collaboration with other scholars, contains a new and consistent linguistic analysis of all the words found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. The total number of entries is around 134,000. Every entry includes the keyword with its context, exactly as published in the editions referred to above, with notes on some readings. All keywords have an English translation, and they are listed in alphabetical order rather than by verbal root, which makes the concordance easier to consult for the non-specialist. This concordance to the non-biblical texts from Qumran is the first of a projected series of three. Future volumes will consist of concordances to the biblical texts from Qumran and to the texts from other sites in the Judean Desert.

Eusebius found the statements of Pseudo-Eupolemus on Abraham in the work of the prolific pagan ethnographer, Alexander Polyhistor, who lived in the mid-first century BCE. 2
