these fragments were found in cave 4 written on parchment dating back to the hasmonean period. 4q542 is one of the best preserved qumran pieces found. this 100 bce aramaic manuscript was found in three separate fragments. fragment 1 consists of one large piece of fragment enlarged by a material which is joined with a smaller piece as well as two other smaller fragments. the large piece of fragment one contains almost two complete columns; one complete column of 13 lines and half of another column fully intact. the smaller fragments, however, present no contexts to aid in any interpretation. "fragment two alludes to darkness and light and fragment three mentions precious stones extant in large numbers apparently on account of forication." testaments usually end with a narrative of the speaker's death as is the case in 4q542; "the testament of qahat" was written on qahat's death bed as a farewell. the two small fragments appear to continue with the admonition, so the length of the actual whole scroll is uncertain. the transmission of the priestly teachings is highly significant to this manuscript and a high-priestly line plays an important role in these three fragments.
