This article examines the concept of the body within a wide range of Qumran literature. In a comparison with the biblical tradition, which does not evince a consistent and systematic idea of the body, this article demonstrates that the sectarians developed their own somatic model. The sectarian model, as revealed through a close reading of such texts as Hodayot, 1QS, 1QSa, CD and 1QM, is one that repeatedly emphasized the body as a corporate entity comprised jointly of flesh and spirit. This article then reexamines the same Qumran texts to show that this concept of the body explains the extreme focus on purity at Qumran, particularly the sectarian conflation of moral and ritual purification. A final comparison with Philo, who espoused a dualistic model of the body, underscores just how truly unique the sectarian view of the body and purity was among early Jews.

库姆兰文学中的身体：死海古卷中的肉体与精神、纯洁与不纯

本文在广泛的库姆兰文献中考察了身体的概念。与圣经传统相比，圣经传统并没有表现出一致和系统的身体观念，本文表明宗派发展了他们自己的躯体模型。通过仔细阅读 Hodayot、1QS、1QSa、CD 和 1QM 等文本所揭示的宗派模式是一种反复强调身体作为由肉体和精神共同组成的团体实体的模式。然后，本文重新审视了相同的库姆兰文本，以表明这种身体的概念解释了库姆兰对纯洁的极端关注，特别是道德和仪式纯洁的宗派混合。最后与支持身体二元模型的 Philo 进行比较，
