The Community Rule

2024-06-13T20:33:55Z

Docent: /* Structure */

The Community Rule is one of the [[ The First Scrolls | first scrolls ]] found in Qumran. It follows the [[ Dead Seas Scrolls Naming Convention | agreed upon naming convention ]] of 1QS. It defines rules expected of the [[ Qumran ]] sect.

== Understanding the Name ==
The Hebrew name of 1QS is "Serekh ha-Yahad" or "Rule of the Community." For this reason, it is identified as 1QS, with "S" being a shortened version of Serekh ha-Yahad.

== Structure ==
The structure of The Community Rule is generally agreed to be divided into five sections:

* ''' Introduction ''' (1:1-3:11) - Emphasizes the community and covenant.
* ''' Tractate of the Two Spirits ''' (3:12-4:25) - Presents the dualism of the sect.
* ''' Statutes ''' (5:1-9:11) - A series of laws that govern the sect, including its communal lifestyle, organization, leadership, etc.
* ''' Rules of the Master ''' (9:12-10:4) - Outlines the rules expected of the leader of the community.
* ''' The Hymn of the Master ''' (10:5-11:22) - A poem, in first person, as the master addresses God.

The Community Rule is one of the [[ The First Scrolls | first scrolls ]] found in Qumran. It follows the agreed-upon naming convention of 1QS. It defines rules expected of the [[ Qumran ]] sect.

Dead Seas Scrolls Naming Convention

2024-06-13T20:21:02Z

Docent:

The Dead Sea Scrolls Naming Convention is an agreed-upon nomenclature used by Dead Sea Scroll Scholars to help define the existing documents for further study. Wherein the first character defines where the scroll originated, the second character identifies the location within the origin location, the third string helps summarize what is in the scroll, and the final superscript defines what grouping is to be used.

== A Simple Example ==
The simplest example of this nomenclature is the one used by [[1QIsaa | 1QIsaa ]].

This is broken down as follows:

* 1 - Found in [[ Qumran ]] Cave 1
* Q - means if was found in the area of [[ Qumran ]]
* Isa - means it was based upon the biblical book of [[ Isaiah ]].
* a - means it was the first iteration of the book of Isaiah.

== A More Complex Example ==
However, many sources contain fragments that cannot be organized into a single book or biblical reference. In this case, the scholar may find something like [[ 4Q396 ]].

This is broken down as follows:

* 4 - Found in [[ Qumran ]] Cave 4
* Q - Located near [[ Qumran ]]
* 396 - This is the 396th text organized.

== Common Names ==
Even so, some texts have become so well known that they have been assigned a name that correlates them to a particular agreed-upon document. An example here would be [[ The Community Rule | 1QS ]].

* 1 - Found in [[ Qumran ]] Cave 1
* Q - Found near [[ Qumran ]].
* S - Serekh (1QS is also known as "Serekh ha-Yahad" or "Rule of the Community").

Professor Sukenik's Scrolls

The [[ The First Scrolls | first three ]] Dead Sea Scrolls were acquired by [[ Professor Sukenik ]].

== Professor Sukenik's Scrolls ==
* An incomplete manuscript of the book of Isaiah that closely resembles the medieval copies of the book of Isaiah [[ 1QIsab |1QIsab ]].
* The [[ Thanksgiving Hymns ]], which was a collection of hymns in praise of God, similar to the book of [[ Psalms ]].
* The [[ War Scroll ]] that describes a coming conflict between the [[ Sons of Light | "Sons of Light" ]] and the [[ Sons of Darkness | "Sons of Darkness" ]]. It reads very much like an Armageddon-style story about the ultimate fight between good and evil. It was written in a military language and style.
