Contents / scope

Temple/legal composition. Its textual relationship to Pentateuchal passages must be studied claim by claim rather than treated as a biblical manuscript witness.

Evidence boundary: 11Q19 is historical Jewish legal/cultic evidence. It is not classified as a direct biblical textual witness merely because it reuses or reformulates Torah material.
