This essay presents the results of an extended study of verbal argument structure in the War Scroll (1 QM ). I first establish a method based in generative linguistic theory. I then illustrate this method with a discussion of the argument structure of Qal יצא in 1 QM and other Dead Sea Scrolls. Following this case study, I present the data from 1 QM on verb argument structure—specifically, instances where 1 QM adds evidence that is not covered in previous studies of the Dead Sea Scrolls. 1 QM presents few developments from earlier Hebrew; I argue that such continuity is significant. I conclude with reflections on the implications of argument structure in 1 QM for the study of ancient Hebrew
