The eighteen studies in this volume in honor of Moshe Bernstein on the occasion of his 70th birthday mostly engage with Jewish scriptural interpretation, the principal theme of Bernstein’s own research career as expressed in his collected essays, Reading and Re-Reading Scripture at Qumran (Brill, 2013).
The essays develop a variety of aspects of scriptural interpretation. Although many of them are chiefly concerned with the Dead Sea Scrolls, the significant contribution of the volume as a whole is the way that even those studies are associated with others that consider the broader context of Jewish scriptural interpretation in late antiquity. As a result, a wider frame of reference for scriptural interpretation impinges upon how scripture was read and re-read in the scrolls from Qumran.

Overall this is a densely packed and informative volume that displays a consistently high level of research throughout …. A Festschrift of superb quality, in which the resounding praise for Moshe Bernstein’s expertise is echoed throughout. In addition to engaging with Bernstein’s intellectual ideas, the essays forge new ground in the textual development of biblical exegesis that will reap substantial benefits for scholars of early and later rabbinic Judaism.

This volume illustrates once again the significance of the Scrolls, not only for understanding Jewish exegesis in Second Temple Judaism, but also for the trajectories of interpretation which flow from this era.
