At the conclusion of the Two Ways in the H54 witness to the Didache, the text reads, εἰ μὲν γὰρ δύνασαι βαστάσαι ὅλον τὸν ζυγὸν τοῦ κυρίου, τέλειος ἔσῃ· εἰ δ᾿ οὐ δύνασαι, ὃ δύνῃ, τοῦτο ποίει. Clearly a correct interpretation of ὅλον τὸν ζυγὸν τοῦ κυρίου is crucial for understanding the (self-)identity of the communities associated with the Didache. In the last 15 years scholars increasingly have accepted it as a reference to the Law of Moses and as indicating that the community/ies of the Didache, at least at some point in their history, advocated for Torah practice, as far as possible, by gentile converts (Van de Sandt/Flusser, Draper, Slee; earlier Stuiber, Wengst). Rarely discussed—indeed almost summarily dismissed by Wengst—is what seems to be the surface meaning of the text, namely that the “yoke of the Lord” refers back to the Two Ways tradition, serving as an equivalent to ταύτης τῆς ὁδοῦ τῆς διδαχῆς in 6.1. This interpretation is warranted by the presence of the conjunction γάρ and is attested by the parallels in Barnabas, Doctrina, and the Apostolic Constitutions, all of which, despite variations, support this understanding of the text. Only in Did. 6.3 is the issue of Torah observance raised, here regarding food laws and specifically meat sacrificed to idols. It is significant that this is also where a disruption in the text occurs with the sudden appearance of the new topic marker περὶ δὲ, otherwise only seen outside the Two Ways teaching in Did. 7.1, 9.1, 3 and 11.3. This paper will seek to show that the Didache originally held gentiles simply to the Torah-based moral instruction of the Two Ways, that only subsequently was a rule on avoiding idol meat added, and that this was a position perhaps found with Paul as well.
