Abstract
The article deals with relations between sacral text and religious tradition maintaining it over the history. The main ancient recensions of the Bible are demonstrating transformations of the former text, and it's not easy to say which of them reflects the original variant. So we find ourselves within hermeneutical circle, where only the comparative critic of traditions is able to give the key.
