Abstract

After studying the calendrical and chronological information from the Qumran texts and the history of scholarship on them, several basic conclusions emerge. These are discussed first, and the second part of the chapter is a tentative sketch of what part the calendar may have played in the origins of the Qumran covenanters as a group separated from the larger Jewish community in Palestine.
