This study examines a number of specific examples of halakhic (Jewish legal) matters discussed in the New Testament that are also dealt with in the Dead Sea Scrolls. This paper compares and contrasts the rulings of these two traditions, as well as the Pharisaic views, showing that the Jewish legal views of the Gospels are for the most part lenient views to the left of those of the Pharisees, whereas those of the Dead Sea Scrolls represent a stricter view, to the right of the Pharisaic views. Ultimately, in the halakhic debate of the first century ce, the self-understanding of the earliest Christians was very different from that of the sect of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Subject The implications of the Red Sea-Dead Sea plan. Significance Israel and Jordan on February 26 signed an agreement to facilitate water-sharing and address the depletion of the Dead Sea, which is receding at a rate of about a metre per year. The 900 million dollar World Bank-sponsored 'Seas Canal' deal consists of two main aspects: local water exchange deals, with Jordan providing Israel with desalinated water from Aqaba in exchange for bluewater from the Sea of Galilee in the north; and saltwater transfer from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea. The Palestinian Authority is not party to the agreement, and awaits a separate deal with Israel. Impacts Prospects for Palestinian-Israeli water negotiations have drastically decreased. Jordan will still need to agree further desalination and cooperation deals in order to meet demand. Water saving efforts will be pushed aside in favour of much more costly desalination. Desalination powered by burning fossil hydrocarbons accelerates global warming.

Community Rule

Within the Community Rule, 1QS 8:1–4 has at times been used as an intertext to support claims pertaining to the future expectations of both early Jesus movements and the historical Jesus himself. In particular, the passage has functioned as an intertext to support the notion that Jesus and some of his earliest movements foresaw the future restoration and liberation of greater Israel in toto, including outsiders. Without getting involved in this larger New Testament debate, the current article wishes to address the appropriateness of using 1QS 8:1–4 as an intertext without taking its literary and sectarian contexts into consideration. Focusing throughout on the interrelationship between judgement and boundary demarcation, this article will unfold in a centripetal manner. Firstly, it will treat the commonalities among all the sectarian Dead Sea Scrolls. Secondly, the discussion will direct its focus specifically to the Community Rule. Finally, we will look at 1QS 8:1–4 in particular.

Surface Geology

The meeting has promoted a valuable exchange of ideas between field geologists, geologists engaged in petroleum exploration in and around the Red Sea, and geophysicists who have undertaken land, airborne and marine surveys. The results are of fundamental interest in several fields. The ancient crystalline rocks, discussed by Brown and Beydoun, revealed little to suggest a control of the Red Sea geosuture by Precambrian structures. The old eugeosynclinal trough in Arabia perhaps trends N 30° W, but Brown had been unwilling to assign a direction to the postulated miogeosynclinal trough. The early sediments had been extensively annealed by metamorphism and by igneous intrusion on a large scale. It did not appear that an obvious case for the location of either the Red Sea or the Gulf of Aden along a pre-existing line of crustal weakness could be made out from the surface geology, though the case of the Dead Sea rift may be different.

To study biological phenomena in the Dead Sea and to simulate the effects of mixing Dead Sea water with Red Sea water, experimental mesocosms were operated at the Dead Sea Works at Sedom, Israel. Dense communities of red halophilic archaea developed in mesocosms filled with 80 % Dead Sea water and 20 % Red Sea water after enrichment with phosphate. The most common type of colonies isolated from these brines belonged to the genus Halorubrum. A few white–pinkish opaque colonies contained pleomorphic flat cells with gas vesicles. Three strains isolated from the latter colonies were characterized in depth. Their 16S rRNA gene sequences showed only 91 % similarity to the closest cultured relative (Haloferax mediterranei), indicating that the new strains represent a novel species of a new genus. The name Haloplanus natans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed for this novel organism. The type strain of Haloplanus natans is RE-101T (=DSM 17983T=JCM 14081T).
