Qumran Cave 4-XXXV: Halakhic Texts

by Joseph Baumgarten, Josef T. Milik, Lawrence H. Schiffman (Editor)

Religious observance in all areas of life was an issue of major importance to the Qumran community. Several collections of laws or halakhot from Qumran bear witness to the parallel development of these laws with those that emerged within Rabbinic Judaism. This volume includes several such compositions of which Tohorot is the largest.
