Note
Explanatory glosses appear between round brackets in the main text
and between square brackets in quotations, except in citations from the
Dead Sea scrolls, which use the conventions in G. Vermes, The Com-
plete Dead Sea Scrolls in English (London, 1997) (see p. 536 below).
The abbreviation ‘b.’ is used for the Hebrew ‘ben’ (‘son of’) and the
abbreviation ‘R.’ is used for the Hebrew title ‘Rabbi’.
