Fragments 1-2 i
1 […] … enemy [… and no] son of iniquity [shall afflict him again] as at the first, and from the day when 2 [I appointed judges] over my people Israel.” This is the house that […] … [in] the last days, as it is written in the book of 3 [Moses, “The sanctuary, O Lord, that] your hands established. The LORD will reign forever and ever.” This is the house into which shall not enter 4 […] forever, nor an Ammonite, nor a Moabite, nor a bastard, nor a foreigner, nor a sojourner, forever, for my holy ones are there. 5 … […] forever; continually it will be seen over it. And strangers shall not make it desolate again, as they formerly made desolate 6 the sanctuary of Israel because of their sin. [1]And he said to build for him a sanctuary of man, for there to be in it those who send up in smoke to him, 7 before him, works of the Torah. And as for what he said to David, “I [will give] you [rest] from all your enemies”: that he will give them rest from all 8 the sons of Belial who make them stumble, to destroy them … as they came with a plan of Belial to make the sons of 9 light stumble, and to plot wicked plots against them, to … his soul for Belial in their … error. 10 And the LORD declares to you that he will build you a house. “And I will raise up your seed after you, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom 11 forever. I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to me.” [2]This is the branch of David, who arises with the interpreter of the Torah, who 12 […] in Zion in the last days, [3]as it is written, “And I will raise up the booth of David that is fallen.” This is the booth of 13 David that is fallen, who will arise to save Israel. 14 Midrash of “Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked.” The interpretation of the matter […] those who turn aside from the way of […] 15 as it is written in the book of Isaiah the prophet for the last days, “And it was as with a strong [hand, and he turned me aside from walking in the way of] 16 this people.” And they are the ones about whom it is written in the book of Ezekiel the prophet, that “they shall [not defile themselves any more] 17 with their idols.” They are the sons of Zadok and the men of their counsel … after them to the council of the community. 18 [“Why do] the nations [rage] and the peoples plot [emptiness? The kings of the earth] take their stand, and rulers conspire together against the LORD and against 19 [his anointed.” The] interpretation of the matter [… the] nations, and … […] the chosen ones of Israel in the last days.
