The following is a link to a parallel translation involving four English versions of 4Q525. This particular Dead Sea Scroll is identified with other Sapiential (ie.: wisdom) texts that have provided helpful details regarding the perspective of a particular sect (likely that of the Essenes) within Judaism identified with Qumran. 4Q525 also provides an early example of writing that closely resembles Christ’s Beatitudes found in Matthew 5. I have created this document for those interested in the study of the DSS’s and yet possess little Hebrew understanding. Working through the text in this format will aid the reader in appreciating the work involved in publishing the contents of the DSS’s as well as in identifying the different renderings of this document.
