Abstract
Use of the term ‘Rewritten Bible’ or ‘Rewritten Scripture’ to describe a group or genre of ancient Jewish texts has proven to be a source of vigorous scholarly debate over the past two decades. While one might hope for this debate to bring a growing consensus and clarity to our use of ‘Rewritten Bible (or Scripture)’, this survey of three recent monographs dealing with texts characterised as such demonstrates the confusion and disagreement which remain. This article seeks to draw together the main threads of the debate, provide an assessment of the current status quaestionis , draw attention to lines for further enquiry, and propose possible ways forward for some of the issues surrounding the use of these terms. Ultimately it is argued that the term remains useful, but only if used in a relatively restricted sense.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
