The Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice (4Q400-407; 11Q17 and Mas1k), also known as Angelic Liturgy, unveils the service of the angelic priests in the heavenly presence of God. This general observation shows the importance of the priestly task, but at the same time it leaves the earthly dimension. In this article I analyze the impact of the liturgy and communion with angels on the priesthood. This allows to clarify the significance of this composition for the community that transmitted this circle of 13 songs. First, I look at some general information on the manuscripts and the contents of these Songs. Secondly, I describe the priestly elements. This will result in an ambivalent conclusion. Priesthood is indispensable but at the same time it is not determining the community. It is the liturgy that is constitutive. Thus, in the third place, I show the importance and influence of this liturgy for the self-identification and understanding of the liturgical reality of the yaḥad. Indeed, I present an interpretation of the Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice in the context of the other Dead Sea Scrolls, although the possibility that this composition precedes the yaḥad is discussed.
