Description

The Genesis Apocryphon is one of the seven major scrolls which were found in Qumran Cave 1. It is thus one of the so-called "Dead Sea Scrolls," of which hundreds have been found in various states of preservation in eleven caves of the cliffs that parallel the northwest shore of the Dead Sea in the general area about Khirbet Qumran and the Wadi Qumran. It was found in the early spring of 1947. The time has come for a more definitive translation and an evaluation of the various interpretations which have been proposed. This is the purpose of the present commentary. - Preface, Introduction.
