| Title: "The Temple scroll, Philo, Josephus, and the Talmud" Pages: 515-526 Type: Generic Year: 1983 Abstract: "11QTR steht mit den geänderten Angaben zur Bindung der Opfertiere, der Verzehntung, der Ölsalbung wie des Weingenusses der Essener nicht im Widerspruch zu den anderen Autoren. Gg. Yadin sind die durch Joh. Hyrkan (135-104) geänderten Bestimmungen hinsichtlich der beiden erstgenannten Komplexe vorausgesetzt, so daß eine Entstehung nur danach (nicht aber davor) anzunehmen ist. // The Dead Sea sect of the Temple Scroll can be identified with the Essenes of Josephus Flavius and Philo of Alexandria. the Scroll contributes to an understanding of some difficult passages in Josephus that deal with the way of life, the views, and the regulations of the Essenes, which lends support to the identification. // Y. Yadin has always adhered to the prevailing opinion that the Qumran sect was virtually identical with the Essenes as described by Josephus and Philo. thus some of the arguments presented in his edition of HQTemple are surprising, while some of his suggestions and interpretations where there is an apparent contradiction between Josephus and the Dead Sea scrolls, are not plausible. The article considers four such cases: the abolition of the knockers and their replacement by the rings, the abolition of the tithe declaration, the alleged prohibition on oiling one's body, and the alleged prohibition on drinking wine. - D.J.H."
