The Fourth Deliverer A Josephite Messiah in 4QTestimonia (original) (raw)

2005

Abstract

Commentators recognize a tri-polar messianism in 4Q175, based on the first three sections of the text. But the last section suggests that the text is in fact tetra-messianic, featuring an eschatological Joshua. This is confirmed by similarities between 4Q175, the tetra-messianic 'Four Craftsmen' baraitha, and Targ. Ps.-J. to Exod. 40,9-11; as well as by evidence that Joshua was a messianic type in post-biblical Judaism.
