4QInstruction
SEER Edition · The Mystery of Being and the Wisdom of the Sons of Light
A wisdom-instruction addressed to the "understanding one" — meditate upon the *mystery of being* (raz nihyeh) by which God has ordered the world and the destinies of all the children of men; instruction on poverty, marriage, parenthood, lending, and oaths; and the promise that the poor in spirit shall inherit the kingdom of the holy ones. This is the SEER Edition, translated fresh from the Hebrew of Qumran Caves 1 and 4 (1Q26, 4Q415–418, 4Q423).
