Source Colophon

Hebrew transcription of 4Q457 (Cave 4, Qumran), included in the Qimron composite edition of the Dead Sea Scrolls (CC BY 4.0, Zenodo 2020). The fragments preserve portions of an eschatological hymn. Cross-references to Psalm 87:5, Micah 4:13, Jeremiah 23:5, Zechariah 3:8 / 6:12, Malachi 3:10, Zechariah 14:5, and Isaiah 60:2 are confirmed through the critical apparatus. The Qimron PDF font encoding renders the body text opaque; only apparatus-confirmed readings are presented above.
