An article today 13 Sept. in the Fort Worth Star Telegram quotes Hanan Eshel on a fragment on display now in Texas.
[Quote:] In one fragment, Eshel believes he may have discovered an ancient commentary on Chapter 22 of Genesis that contradicts the traditional interpretation of God ordering Abraham to sacrifice his son Issac. In other words, Eshel said, he now believes that God may not have asked Abraham to sacrifice his son. "God called Isaac 'My son,' not 'your son,' " Eshel said. "This is the first time we have found this distinction." [End quote.] http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/living/religion/6753955.htm On the exhibit, see http://www.deadseaexhibit.com (Thanks to Matthew Hamilton for bibliography.) It may be that this refers to the fragment pictured at the top there, and in "selected highlights." Has anyone seen the exhibit or the "printed program guide" ($10)? best, Stephen Goranson _______________________________________________ g-Megillot mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.McMaster.CA/mailman/listinfo/g-megillot
