Bible Review

As recognized by Manfred R. Lehmann (“Identification of the Copper Scroll Based on Its Technical Terms,” Revue de Qumran 6 (1964], pp. 97–105), who cites a Tosefta, Shevi’tt 7.3, 5 and 8.1.

As, for example, in the Mishnaic tractate Tevul Yom 4.4.

The most vigorous spokesman for this position is Norman Golb. See Golb, “The Problem of the Origin and Identification of the Dead Sea Scrolls,” Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society 124 (1980), pp. 1–24; “Who Hid the Dead Sea Scrolls?” Biblical Archaeologist 48 (1985), pp. 68–82.

See, for example, E. Ullendorff, “The Greek Letters of the Copper Scroll,” Vetus Testament 11 (1961), pp. 227–228.
