Re: "Love" in the DSS
It struck me that one might get further with regard to the original
question and intent of the questioner if one were to drop the fairly
narrow vocabulary question and ask instead about the "piety" of the
scrolls (I know that word has some limited and negative connotations but
know of no better word to describe the quality of the religious
expression of a document, religious movement, or individual). It strikes
me that the Thanksgiving Hymns have the potential to be a classic in the
texts of world religions, and one might learn something about
"spirituality" in the DSS from the study of this document even if the word,
)hb, seems to be rare.
