1QS(공동체 규율) 5단의 번역 문제와 신학적 논점 연구

Abstract

1QS(Serek) is a collection of laws with regards to entry and withdrawal, promotion and demotion of membership with the presupposition that a new member should enter the covenant, which is interpreted and executed by the leadership of the Zadokite Teacher of Righteousness. 1QS must have been highly regarded by the Qumran Community. The extant numbers of the manuscripts of 1QS are 15-16, of which number is higher than the manuscripts of Numbers and Jeremiah. 1QS consists of eleven columns, which are divided into two parts, which is, the introductory section of cols. 1-4 and the regulation section of cols. 5-11. This paper focuses on col. 5, which is the very beginning of the regulation section. Fist, this paper is to translate column 5 into Korean. On the basis of this work, the second task is to examine its theological concerns. By this second task, it is believed to reveal, at least, a look at the Qumran Community.<BR> This paper deals with column 5 by dividing four subsections. The first subsection (5:1-7a) is a good introductory part to inform what these regulations are made for and by whom. This first part is particularly designed to inculcate the members that the Zadokite priests has a privilege to establish laws. The second subsection (5:7b-10a) is to announce that to enter the Qumran Community is equivalent to enter the covenant of the Mosaic Law, which is revealed inalienably to the Community. The third subsection (5:10b-20a) is to separate the Community members from the wicked. This is another way to establish the group identity. The last subsection (5:20b-E) is to teach the members to keep their own position, to be annually examined, and accordingly, to be promoted or demoted.
