Has Passage Evidence RecordHabakkuk 2:4 — 1QpHab quotation statePARTIAL

1QpHab cites Habakkuk 2:4a in column 7, but the line where Habakkuk 2:4b would have been lemmatized is completely mutilated. Modern reconstruction of 2:4b follows the pesher’s regular lemma/comment pattern; v51 therefore marks 2:4b RECONSTRUCTED rather than EXTANT.

Evidence boundary: Where 1QpHab quotes Habakkuk it may function as textual evidence for that quoted unit; the pesher explanation is interpretive evidence and must never be flattened into the biblical text.
