Example text

T h e reasons for this conclusion I have given elsewhere, and I cannot review them here. 13 I shall merely cite some of the evidence. Cairo ms. A (containing the Admonition) is itself the product of an S revision, because the expected messianic "teacher" appears as a past figure in 1:12, while his death is referred to in 20:14-15. At the end of the Admonition, it is his voice that, along with the sectarian law, constitutes supreme authority (20:27-28), again corresponding to his expected function in 6:11.

O. Eisenman, Maccabees, ^adokites, Christians and Qumran (Studia Postbiblica 34; Leiden: E . J . Brill, 1983). B. Method T h e uncomplicated approach of decades ago is not possible. T h e n , the Community Rule was taken to define a " Q u m r a n Community" and the sum total of the non-biblical manuscripts published at the time (Cave 1 plus Allegro's Cave 4 texts plus CD) was assembled, more or less selectively, into an account of what this sect (widely identified with the Essenes described by Philo, Josephus and Pliny) believed and practised.

19 Again the search for a definitive edition of this "document" is fruitless. Instead, it is necessary to focus on an actual text. The conclusions assumed here are those argued in my /QAi, The War Saoll from Qumran (Rome: Biblical Institute Press, 1977). ous elements have probably been fused (with limited success) in col. 1, where a dualistic battle precedes world-wide conquest. Finally, I shall consider briefly two texts that are frequently claimed to be central to " Q u m r a n Judaism," 4 Q M M T and 11QT.
