Otherwise historical and religio-political confusion in the interpretation of the texts is preassigned.
Anybody familiar with Rabbi Akiba's relation as 'prophet like Moses' to Cocheba and Nazara here? Don't think so...

Dear Dierk,
As John Collins writes in the Anchor Bible Dictionary, s.v. Dead Sea Scrolls,
"this label is used in both a narrow and a broad sense. The narrow definition is restricted to mss found in 11 caves in the vicinity of Khirbet Qumran. The broad usage includes documents found at Masada, Wadi Murabba`at, Nahal Hever, Nahal Se'elim, and Nahal Mishmar."

...I've just clarified that both quotations do NOT belong to the DSS corpus.
DSS - Dead Sea Scrolls (material exclusively of cave 1-11 from Kh. Qumran)
