I was looking at Gaster's article in the IDB not his translation of the
DSS. On
top of that, I'm not certain what it is that you think needs explaining?

Alas, the thesis itself, the assumption of a generalizing, context-less
equalization of "His/Your Holy Ones" (angels) and "The Holy Ones" (human).
A terminological scheme of arrangement would be
"God's Holy Ones", to be distinguished from human "Holy Ones".
Without such a distinction the thesis is somewhat hazardous, IMO.
Good luck!
