This variation incorporates a transcription and translation of 4QpNah, with textual notes. The therapy of 4QpNah follows the normal department of the extant textual content into 5 thematic literary sections, or "pericopes," every one including a sequence of "lemma/pesher units." for every pericope, proposed old contextualizations are evaluated at the foundation of exegetical standards. "Equivalents" are "mapped" for every unit, such that exact components of every lemma are aligned with corresponding parts from the biblical base-text. a spotlight upon "lemma/pesher correspondence" presents the framework for systematic exegetical research of 4QpNah.

To put the question another way, is there a sense of “nigleh” and “nistar” for historical prophecy, as there is for halakha? See the cautious remarks of Steven D. Fraade, “Interpretive Authority in the Studying Community at Qumran,” JJS 44 (1993): 50–51. 50 Biblical Exegesis, 10. , 11. , 18. 53 Method and Message, 181. B. Mohr, 1960), 75. 16 important because of their applicability to the end-time. They would make sense in regard to Assyria, but would matter in regard to the Community and its contemporaries.
Thus, the exegesis given in the Commentaries [the pesharim] and elsewhere is an interpretation, not a re-interpretation of prophecy. 54 For these scholars, pesher presumes a perspective in which the pesher reading is understood to have been the only real meaning of the text, which in its original form is meaning-less. Let us consider an alternate model, predicated upon a supposition of textual multivalence at Qumran. In this model, the author of pesher does not take the eschatological significance of biblical prophecy as its only intended meaning.
After the historical and textual viability of these restorations was tested within each pesher unit, the results were carried through to the next unit. In each case, some interpretations were eliminated while others generated a number of permutations for hypothetical continuations of the scenario. The identifications presented in this work are those hypotheses that survived the process of being carried throughout the pericope. 76 References such as those to Demetrius and Antiochus, unprecedented at the time of the initial publication of 4QpNah, are still rarities in the Qumran corpus.
