Jacob Licht interprets "min" in 1QS 9 4 comparatively as "more advantageous
than" sacrifices.  His commentary to the Community Rule is still one of the
best around and is now being reprinted by Bialik Press, Jerusalem.
I have used Licht's commentary to prepare a small English anthology, "Prayers
from Qumran: Issues and Methods" (SBL 1993 Seminar Papers).

To the Orion DSS discussion list:

I am interested in commentaries on 1QS 9:3-5, particularly the discussion
concerning the min in mibbasar (line 4 b). Recent literature as
Charlesworth (1994) and Martinez (1994) think that the min is to be
translated "without" indicating rejection of the temple of Jerusalem. Is
this an accepted translation today? Why? Do you know if anyone has been
commenting on this passage lately?

min in mibbasar and mehelbe in 1 QS 9:4 is translated:
a) Source: "by means of", Wernberg-M=F8ller (1957:35)  or "gr=E2ce =E0" Carm=
ignac
and Guilbert (1961:60), "=E0 partir de", Milik cf. Carmignac  (1956:524).
b) Rejection: "without" by Mart=EDnez (1994:13), Knibb (1987:138), Vermes
(1987:74), Charlesworth (1994:39); Dupont-Sommer and Philonenko using
"sans" (1987:34).
c) Comparison: "paa en bedre maate end" =3D "in a better way than",
Nielsen/Otzen (1959:85), Lohse (1971:33), and Pouilly has "plus que"
(1976:28).

Carmignac (1956:524)  points also to the following authors who understand
the min as comparison: van der Ploeg, Lambert, Brownlee, Schubert, Bardtke,
Molin, Dupont-Sommer, Verm=E8s and Burrows. Several of them must have change=
d
their views, e.g. Verm=E8s and Dupont-Sommer.
