Two First-Century Messianic Uses of the Old Testament: Hebrews 1:5-13 and 4QFLOR 1.1-19
What is the value of the Qumran scrolls for New Testament studies? Bateman writes from the conviction that such intertestamental books are windows through which we may catch glimpses of various aspects of the world and culture into which God sent his Son. One such text is the Qumran text named Florilegium (4QFlor)3. The structural, exegetical, and conceptual use of the Old Testament can provide historical insight into how the Old Testament is used in Hebrews 1:5-13, and provide an understanding of a first-century Christian messianic use of the Old Testament.
