The absence from Qumran texts of the passage that is most clearly of a sectarian nature, viz. the interpolation after Exod. xx. 17 (cf. Skehan, P. W., ‘The Scrolls and the Old Testament Text’, in New Directions in Biblical Archaeology, p. 101Google Scholar, and Qumran and the Present State of Old Testament Text Studies: The Masoretic Text’, J.B.L.
