A Messianic apocalyptic text from the Dead Sea Scrolls
The DSS collection of manuscripts come from a Judean archaeological context dated from around the 2nd century BC up to about AD 60. I have transcribed the following short excerpt from one Aramaic language scroll, 4Q246 column II, line 1. 4Q246 has been published a number of times, for this excerpt see; [2] p. 70 and [3] pp. 493 – 495. Here it is:

Transliteration: 'Bareh de 'El eth'amar wabar `elyon eqroneh'
Translation: ' “The Son of God!” it will be said, and “The Son of the Highest” they will call Him.'
