| Summary: | The Damascus Document and the Temple Scroll both forbid polygamy (CD 4:20-5:6; 11QT 57:15-19). Many commentators think that these passages also prohibit divorce with remarriage, though the method of exegesis is uncertain. This paper examines the exegetical techniques and assumptions employed in these passages, and find that they are similar to those used by first century rabbinic sources. Seen in this light, these passages do not forbid divorce or remarriage, and prohibit only polygamy. |
