KÖSTENBERGER* Part 1 of this annotated bibliography appeared in the previous issue of JETS (see that issue for an introduction to this resource). This again is the overall struc- ture: Part 1: 1. General Reference Tools; 2. Old Testament Versions; 3. Apocrypha; 4. Pseudepigrapha; Part 2: 5. Dead Sea Scrolls; 6. Individual Authors (Philo, Jose- phus, Pseudo-Philo, Fragmentary Works); 7. Rabbinic Literature; 8. Other Early Works from the Rabbinic Period; 9. Addenda to Part 1. 5. DEAD SEA SCROLLS While the Dead Sea Scrolls are generally associated with Qumran, properly they also cover discoveries from approximately a dozen other sites in the desert wilderness surrounding the Dead Sea, such as those at Naal ever, Murabbaat, and Masada. The approximately 930 MSS from Qumran were penned from the 3rd c. BC through the 1st c. AD. The Masada texts include Jewish scrolls from the time leading up to the Roman conquest (AD 73) and subsequent Roman documents. The finds at Naal ever and Murabbaat include documents from the time of the Bar Kokhba revolt (AD 132–135). Other Bar Kokhba era documents are known from Ketef Jericho, Wadi Sdeir, Naal Mishmar, and Naal eelim (see DJD 38). For a full accounting, see the lists by Tov under “Bibliography” below. The non- literary documentary papyri (e.g. wills, deeds of sale, marriage documents, etc.) are not covered below. Recent archaeological efforts seeking further scrolls from sur- rounding caves (esp.

We justify this procrastination by thinking that if something were really crucial, we SPOTLIGHT could rise to the occasion - certainly if our careers or lives depended on it. Yet, from this week’s Parsha, we see that this is not so. “ואת כל העדה הקהילו באחד לחדש השני“ ,D'VAR HALACHA The Pasuk states Moshe gathered all of Klal Yisroel on the first of the second month. Why was it THIS WEEK necessary to tell us when Moshe gathered Klal Yisroel? Rabbeinu Yona derives from IN PICTURES here that Moshe possessed great alacrity and diligence in his performance of Mitzvos. Hashem instructed Moshe to perform the census on the first of the second month, and, PARSHA TEASER indeed, he immediately gathered Klal Yisroel on the very same day. The question arises: Wouldn’t any of us, even people who do not possess Shleimus in THE VAAD: the Middah of Zrizus, comply with the direct command of Hashem to conduct a YEAR IN REVIEW census? Why is this act such a great illustration and demonstration of Moshe’s alacrity?
