1QS 2 recounts a ritual in which the community convenes and shares in the annual recitation of blessings and curses for the purpose of reaffirming its communal, ritual boundaries as it is beset on all sides by darkness and transgressive ways. This group needs purifying through the ejection of the morally impure, those whose actions are judged to be ‘out of place.’ Conversely, in 4QBerakhot, the entirety of divinely ordered creation is cited in the blessing of God by the performative community in the heavenly throne room. This latter tradition understands those capable of this heavenly benediction as being sufficiently pure to stand in God’s presence, while Belial and those of his lot are already consigned to their fate in the pit. Thus, given the entirely different ideals and resultant construction of figural space in these two traditions, we are forced to question the equation of their performative contexts.

库姆兰圣约诅咒中的社区、另类和空间

1QS 2 讲述了一个仪式，在该仪式中，社区召集并分享祝福和诅咒的年度背诵，目的是重申其社区的仪式界限，因为它四面八方都被黑暗和越界的方式所包围。这个群体需要通过驱逐道德不纯洁的人来净化，那些行为被判断为“不合时宜”的人。相反，在 4QBerakhot 中，天上宝座的表演团体在上帝的祝福中引用了整个神圣有序的创造。后一种传统认为，那些能够接受天上祝福的人是足够纯洁的，可以站在上帝的面前，而贝利亚和他的同伙则已经注定了他们在坑中的命运。因此，鉴于这两种传统中完全不同的理想和由此产生的人物空间建构，
