Description:

1QpHab written in square Herodian script was copied in the second half of the 1st cent BCE

The Habakkuk Pesher, along with other pesharim ("interpretations"), attest to the persistence of prophecy in the Second Temple period, albeit in the modified form of "revelatory exegesis," as opposed to traditional biblical modes of direct divine discourse.
