Hi Spin, I know on previous occasions you mention that there were legal documemts found in the DSS in Hebrew. Do you know any more about the specific nature of these documemts?

Thanks for any help. :notworthy

What sort of information are you looking for? There are many scrolls, in Hebrew, which talk about legal issues, a sort of pre-halakhic tradition if you will.

I'm not sure which documents you are referring to, Qumran documents (if so see Chris's response), or Muraba'at documents. If the latter, there were numerous contracts, land deals and marriages. There were other materials as well, but I don't have access to the data where I am.
