Abstract

© Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, 2012 DOI: 10.1163/156851712X624507 Dead Sea Discoveries 19 (2012) 55–70 brill.nl/dsd The Polemic Regarding Skin Disease in 4QMMT 1 Yitzhaq Feder University of Haifa yfeder1@gmail.com Abstract This article deals with a polemic in 4QMMT pertaining to the skin disease described by the biblical term תערצ , typically (though not accurately) translated as "leprosy." In particular, the authors of 4QMMT accuse their opponents of per- mitting "lepers" into the house, thereby defiling the pure food. This article identi- fies this lenient view, attacked by 4QMMT , with a rabbinic midrash of Lev 14:8 found in the Sifra.
