Popis:	By analyzing how the term ger is used in the Dead Sea scrolls, particularly in relation to conversion, this article demonstrates the variety of attitudes in the community toward outsiders. One tradition reflects tolerance through a notion of mutable ethnicity: taking on Jewish kinship and connection to land, the Gentiles who converted became full members as ger. The scrolls also reflect another, more intolerant tradition in which the gerim (plur.) were inauthentic converts who had to be excluded from the community for reasons of kinship and religious practice.
