Extract

The publication of any work from Qumran is a great event for anyone who is interested in the DSS; far more is this the case when the work is a long and important one. Shirot Olat HaShabbath (ShirShabb) is such a long and important work, being preserved in no less than eight MSS from Qumran cave 4, one MS from Qumran cave 11, and one MS from Masada. Before the discoveries in the Judaean Desert this work was completely unknown.

Such constructions function as attributive and are parallel to relative clauses with the verb in the past, i.e. = “those whom God has honored,” or “those honored by God.” The passive participle indicates both the verb and the person referred to. Note that in the person referred to would be the object of the verbal clause, in e.g. , it is the genitive and in e.g. it would be its subject.Google Scholar
