Abstract: 

The term “in the way of his heart” (בדרך לבו) appears only once in the Damascus Document but it figures in an important passage, describing the appearance of the Teacher of Righteousness and how he guided the first covenanters in the way of God. The locution also occurs in Hodayot col. 12 and in one copy of Barkhi Nafshi (4Q434). In each of them the term is elaborated in detail and is presented as an emblem of the particular way and practice of the Yahad.
