Determinism in Qumran and the Language of Paradise. Hymns and Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice

Abstract

The article studies the terminology of the texts of the Hymns and Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice from the deterministic paradigm of Paradise and its understanding of human lan-guage in the prayer experience present in texts such as 1QHa and the Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice, this means putting in evidence that belief in the Paradise paradigm helps us understand the contextual ideological coordinates of the Qumran sect members prayer experience, and second, helps us understand the role of language in the prayer experience, which since an epistemological point of view reflects both superiority understood as ante-riority and incomprehensibility.
