This is the first major commentary in English on Pesher Habakkuk for forty years. It elucidates the nature of 1QpHab as the earliest commentary on the prophecy of Habakkuk by a detailed study of the biblical quotation and sectarian interpretation.
The Earliest Commentary on the Prophecy of Habakkuk is an accessible and indispensable resource for those engaged in work on the pesharim or the wider interpretive traditions of the Second Temple period... Lim as author and general editor of the series is to be congratulated.
