Abstract
Text critical studies of the Hebrew Bible took on a new vigor and direction with the discovery and publication of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The significance of 1QpHab lies in the fact that it witnesses a Hebrew text of Habakkuk. In spite of the variety among the witnesses to the Hebrew text of Habakkuk, the general conclusion must be that the consonantal tradition reflected in the Masoretic text (MT) lies behind the other traditions and that the readings of the MT are usually equal or superior to the other Hebrew readings. The discovery of a Greek Minor Prophets scroll from Nahal Hever in 1952 has had a significant impact on the discussion of the inner-Greek history of the Biblical text. The text has been described as falling into three broad categories: the complaints found in 1:2-2:4 (or 5); the woe oracles found in 2:6--19; and a psalm in 3:2-19.Keywords: 1QpHab; Dead Sea Scrolls; Habakkuk; Hebrew Bible; inner-Greek history; Masoretic text (MT); Nahal Hever; psalm; woe oracles
