4Q369
4Q369, also known as the Prayer of Enosh, is one of the Dead Sea Scrolls found at Qumran Cave 4.[1][2] The text was published in 1994 by editors Harold Attridge and John Strugnell as part of the DJD-series.[3][4][5][6]
Content
The proposal of the editors of DJD-13 was that the text contains prayers and prophecies attributed to Enosh, the father of Kenan, and Enoch, a biblical figure.[5]
Academic debate
James Kugel[5][4] argued that the identity of the speaker is "far from clear" and that the text be conceptualized as a "prayer concerning God and Israel". Justin Pannkuk,[5] on the other hand, supported the proposal of the editors, in a form-critical analysis, that attributed the prayers to Enosh. Vasile Babota[6] referred to 4Q369 Prayer of Enosh as a parabiblical text but observed that it had little overlap with biblical texts, and perhaps should be re-classified.
