I agree, as usual, with Yitzhak's view in this thread.
I only wish to caution about overstating one thing Yitzhak wrote:

My doctoral work is was on Qumran Hebrew, subtitled, "Tense, Aspect, and
Modality between the Bible and the Mishnah." Yet I am not sure what major
differences these might be, unless by "Qumran Hebrew" is meant only that of
4QMMT or the Copper Scroll.
