Dear List Participants, 4Q247 frag. 1, col. 1, line 7 mentions v ha sofer im zahar vim nekiva.... Does it really means woman-scribe as Eisenman and Wise understand it or “one who is counting their seven days, whether they are male or female. . . ” as Garsia Martinez and Tigchelaar say? In the first case, how wide was female-scribing spread? Does it means, that status of woman scribe was equal to man? Are there other text talking about the same practice? Thank you very much, Svetlana Babkina |
