This article presents an edition of the largest of the fragments of the oldest biblical manuscript from Qumran, 4QSamb. Like the smaller fragments of the scroll published earlier, it presents a text which stands much closer to the Vorlage of the Old Greek translation than to the Masoretic Text. 4QSamb is notable too for the number of readings it preserves which are superior both to the Old Greek and to the Masoretic traditions
