The contents of 4Q542 and 4Q547 have been treated in previous scholarship as representing two, independent Jewish literary compositions dating to the Hellenistic period, the Testament of Qahat and the Visions of Amram. However, paleographic, scribal, and other manuscript features strongly suggest that 4Q542 and 4Q547 are, in fact, parts of one and the same scroll. Consequently, in this article I reconsider the relationship of the contents of 4Q542/547. It may be that two independent works were copied on the same scroll, as we find elsewhere among the Qumran manuscripts (e.g., 4Q203–204). Another possibility is that what scholars have considered to be an independent composition in the Testament of Qahat is actually a sub-section of the Visions of Amram. The latter option gains strong support from a contextual assessment of other Aramaic writings found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, especially the Isaac section of the Aramaic Levi Document.

Qahat的遗言是否是Amram异象的一部分?4Q542和4Q547的物质和文学考虑
4Q542和4Q547的内容在先前的奖学金中已被视为代表两个独立的犹太文学作品,可追溯到古希腊时代,《卡塔尔遗嘱》和《阿姆兰愿景》。但是,古迹,抄写稿和其他手稿特征强烈表明4Q542和4Q547实际上是同一卷的一部分。因此,在本文中,我将重新考虑4Q542 / 547的内容之间的关系。就像我们在昆兰手稿中的其他地方(例如4Q203–204)中发现的那样,可能有两个独立的作品被复制在同一卷轴上。另一种可能性是,学者们认为《卡塔尔遗嘱》中的独立著作实际上是《阿姆兰愿景》的一个小节。
