Overall this is a densely packed and informative volume that displays a consistently high level of research throughout …. A Festschrift of superb quality, in which the resounding praise for Moshe Bernstein’s expertise is echoed throughout. In addition to engaging with Bernstein’s intellectual ideas, the essays forge new ground in the textual development of biblical exegesis that will reap substantial benefits for scholars of early and later rabbinic Judaism.Sandra Jacobs, Review of Biblical Literature, 2019This volume illustrates once again the significance of the Scrolls, not only for understanding Jewish exegesis in Second Temple Judaism, but also for the trajectories of interpretation which flow from this era.Dwight D. Swanson, SOTS Book List, 2019
