Davies rightly points out that: sects cannot be relied upon to give an authentic account of their own history! They tend to prefer stories in which they are the initiators rather than passive victims, and they will also retroject issues that may arise subsequently into the origin process itself. The only example that needs citing here is the New Testament itself. If Qumran scholarship relies entirely on a rather credulous reading of Qumran texts it will emerge with a sectarian history, not the history of a sect!
This leaves only 4QCatena A and 4QCommGen A, both of which constitute works of scriptural interpretation. 83 4QCommGen A, on the other hand, exhibits traits similar to both those of the ‘thematic pesharim’ (Lim 2002: 16–18) and ‘the legal, narrative, and theological sections of works like the Damascus Document’ (Campbell 2004: 18). How best then to categorize it? On the one hand, we could give precedence to its exegetical character and assign it alongside the pesher material on these grounds (so DSSR).
98. 5 This chapter is, accordingly, to be rather shorter than the two which follow it, though this enforced brevity may in itself be of some significance in our final analysis. In terms of how we shall proceed, while presented with only one text for investigation here, generally speaking with regard to our sectarian periods we shall treat each text to be considered in turn, examining all apparent occurrences of the sobriquets qdch hrwm and bzkh Py+m (along with both ‘variant’ forms and related terminology where appropriate).
