Re: Names of the Angels, Herod-Era DSS
Russell Gmirkin:
>I agree with the entire above construction. I can accept provisionally
calling the original Maccabean-era sectarians as Zadokite Hasidim,
i.e. Hasidim that looked to the leadership of Zadokite priests. And I
believe that both the Essenes and Sadducees acepted the halakhah
of the original sectarians. The Essenes I see as more direct inheritors
of the earlier traditions, perhaps some still living in exile at a late
date, while the Sadducees I see as being more closely connected to the
Jerusalem temple cult (largely for economical reasons) and hence
alienated from the more stringent Essenes. MMT I see as an appeal
from the Essenes to the Jerusalem leader of the Sadducees temple cult
to abandon Pharisee practices. The Jerusalem leader I think was probably
Hyrkanus, who switched from Pharisee to Sadducee practice.
At least that's my construction.<
That's about the way I understood Qimron. Glad to find that my impression
was in the ballpark. Thanks.
