English abstract
This study argues distinctively that there are two stages in the approach to prophecy reflected in the Qumran library. In the second century BCE continuity with scriptural prophetic tradition was represented implicitly in the authoritative rewriting of both literary prophetic and Mosaic discourses, in appealing to great figures of the past as prophets, and in inspired poetry. In the first century BCE the ongoing divinatory practices of the sectarian movement became focussed in symbolic living practices, in explicit inspired prophetic commentary projected back onto the founding Teacher, and in heightened eschatology.
