O prawdzie w życiu qumrańczyka na podstawie 1QS XI 4-5
About Truth in the Life of the Qumranite, Based on 1QS XI 4-5

Summary/Abstract: The Rule of the Community clearly shows that “the terminology of truth” played a significant role for the Qumran community. Its members referred to themselves as “the sons of truth” (1QS IV 5), committed to “the house of truth in Israel” (1QS V 6) and supposed to “practise truth” (1QS V 3). It is therefore legitimate to ask a few questions in order to understand better the qumranic concept of truth and its impact on the Qumranites’ lives. So: what was the character of the Qumran truth, what was its role in the daily life of the community member and what results in that life was it supposed to show? The answers to these questions will be based on 1QS XI 4-5, which is a part of a personal prayer of the maskil, a part carefully and logically planned and structured, which enables us to form reliable conclusions about truth in the life of the Qumranite.
