Résumé / Abstract

J.T. Milik (The Book of Enoch, Oxford 1976: 256) was probably correct in interpreting this fragment as a commentary (i.e. a pesher) on the Aramaic Book of Enoch Apocalypse of Weeks (93:1-10; 91:11-17). This is the only apocalypse which has a decimal division of time -prehistoric, historic and metahistoric. These periods are called weeks. Here are mentioned the fifth week (up to the building of the First Temple), the sixth (up to the destruction of the latter) and the seventh (up to the time of the author). The laconic style of this composition may point to a mnemotechnic list, similar to the List of False Prophets (4Q339).
