| Summary: | A close look at the fragments of 4Q363a reveals a cursive type of palaeo-Hebrew script, and not a new cryptic script (Cryptic C). The remains of the text preserved reveal that it is not a copy of a biblical book but seem to suggest a scene of devastation of a sanctuary of a city by armed bands. It could be an allusion to the temple of Jerusalem plundered and desecrated, with dead (?) and prisoners, probably by Antiochus IV Epiphanes during his campaigns of 170-168 (see 4Q248). Un examen attentif des fragments de 4Q363a révèle une écriture en paléo-hébreu de type cursif et non une nouvelle écriture cryptique (Cryptique C). Le peu de texte conservé montre que ce n’est pas une copie d’un livre biblique, mais il semble suggérer une scène de dévastation du sanctuaire d’une ville par des bandes armées. Il pourrait bien être fait allusion au temple de Jérusalem pillé, désacralisé, avec des morts (?) et des prisonniers, probablement par Antiochus IV Épiphane lors de ses campagnes en 170-168 (voir 4Q248). |
