| Summary: | Lack of research on Qumran legislation had been a feature of the first forty years of Qumran study. Yet, while the fact that this avenue of Qumran studies is now being pursued is highly commendable, we question the appropriateness of referring to this legislation as "Halakhah." This study presents the varied sectarian usages of the √הלך with a view to ascertaining the validity of the use of the term "Halakhah" when discussing Qumran legislation. We conclude that there is no direct evidence that the sect either used or deliberately avoided this term in sectarian compositions. L'une des particularités des quarante premières années d'études sur Qumrân est le manque de recherche sur sa législation. Aussi, bien que la poursuite de ces recherches soit considérée comme admirable, on se demande si l'appellation « Halakhah » est appropriée à cette législation. Cette étude présente les nombreuses utilisations sectaires de √הלך et cherche à découvrir la validité de l'utilisation du terme « Halakhah » lorsque l'on considère la législation de Qûmran. Nous concluons qu'il n'y a aucune preuve directe que la secte utilisait ou intentionnellement évitait ce terme dans des compositions sectaires. |
