orion Qumran Hebrew & Mishnaic Hebrew
Chaim Rabin suggested in his 1958 ScrHier article that the
expression L$WN GDWPYN "tongue of blasphemies" (CD 5:11-12)
might be a reference to Mishnaic Hebrew. This suggestion
seems unlikely given the context of the expression:
"they have corrupted their holy spirit, and with blasphemous language
they have reviled the statutes of God's covenant, saying, 'They are not
well-founded.'" I'd be interested to know if this issue has
received any significant further consideration in the literature
or whether other members of ORION have thoughts they would like
to share.
