Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This chapter describes key aspects of the ritual and worship of a specific group within Second Temple Judaism, especially as can be known from the written texts preserved in the Dead Sea Scrolls. These manuscripts, discovered some seventy years ago in the caves near the site of Qumran, provide much previously unknown information, both descriptions about ritual practice and actual texts of many prayers, psalms, blessings, and liturgies that are known only because they were preserved in the caves. Many of these scrolls are very fragmentary, and any reconstruction of the details of worship practice must remain tentative. The Scrolls contain collections of set prayers for the days of the week, the days of the months, for feasts, songs for the Sabbath, a collection of Thanksgiving Psalms (Hodayot) that are expressive of the distinctive worldview and spirituality of this group, and liturgies for entrance into the community through a covenant renewal ceremony

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
