PREFACE.

The E-itual adopted by the Modern Or-
der of Essenes is so long that it can only be
learned and retained by constant attend-
ance at the meetings, and as many are
so situated that they cannot regularly
attend, they soon forget much that they
have learned, and thus lose interest in
the subject, until their connection with
the Order becomes merely nominal, or is
entirely severed in default of the payment
of dues.

From this state of things arises the need
and demand for some means of refreshing
and aiding the memory, outside of the
^, and for the want of an authentic w^ork
on the subject, Essenes are availing them-

selves of any means of information that
comes within their reach ; hence the exten-
sive sale of several open and highly errone-
ous exposes, that are sold alike to membera
of the Order and the public at large. To
arrest this evil, and meet the demand for
a work that is both accurate and legitimate,
this volume has been prepared.

THE ANCIENT ESSENES. -ORIGIN OF THE
ORDER.

EssENE from the Hebrew root, ^ffis) (Esan,
to be strong), ^^'^id:si (Essene) because they
exhibited strength of mind, in enduring
suffering, and in subduing the passions ; the
Essenes"^ were an order of the Jews, and
the fact that they developed themselves
gradually, and at first imperceptibly, through
intensifying the prevalent religious doc-
trines, renders it impossible to say precisely
at what time they were detached from the
general body. Josephus, however, speaks .
of them as existing in the days of Jonathan
tlie Maccabsean, b.c. 143 (Ant. xiii. 5-9) ;
he also mentions an Essene who delivered a
prophecy in the reign of Aristobulus I., b.c.

■ * See Josephus. — Kitto.

106 (War i. 3-5; Ant. xiii. 11-2), and
as we find no reliable record of them pre -
vious to B.C. 150, that is doubtless very
near the date of the origin of the Order.

When thej ultimately withdrew from the
rest of the Jewish nation, the majority of
them settled in Samaria, along the Jordan,
and the rest lived in scattered commmiities
throughout Palestine.

Both Philo and Josephus mention them
as being very numerous at this time.

They were divided into two classes — the
first devoting themselves to a life of con-
templation, and studying the mysteries of
nature and revelation ; the second engag-
ing in some daily handicraft. They were
ruled by a Eabban, assisted by a Pabbi and
a Eab,'^ who were chosen by the whole
body. In cases of trial, however, a majority
was required to constitute a tribunal, and
the brother who walked disorderly was

* Eabban, from the Hebrew r^ly master.

Bab, " " " ^^, assistant teacher.

excommunicated ; yet he was not regarded
as an enemy, but was admonished as a
brother, and usually received back, after
due repentance.

They divided the twenty-four hours into
tln^ee parts : a portion of which was devot-
ed to the service of God and the relief of
the needy and distressed, a portion to their
usual avocations, and a portion for refresh-
ment and sleep.

They rose at early dawn, and offered up
the national prayer for the return of the
light of day, after which they betook them-
selves to their respective vocations and
engagements, under the superintendence of
the Eabbans and Overseers. At the sixth
hour, or twelve o'clock, the labor of the
forenoon terminated, and all reassembled,
bathed in cold water, after which they
put on their white garments, entered their
refectory with as much solemnity as if it
were the Holy Temple, and sat down together
in mysterious silence to the common meal.
When seated, the priest invoked God's bless-
ing upon the repast, after which the baker

placed before each one a small loaf of
bread, and the cook a dish of plain food.
At the conclusion of the meal the priest
offered np thanks to the Bountiful Supplier
of all our wants. This was the signal of
their dismissal, when they withdrew, put
off their white garments, and resumed labor
again until the eleventh hour (or five
o'clock,- as w^e reckon time). On the Sabbath
they assembled in the synagogues, w^here
they w^ere seated according to their age, the
younger sitting below the elder in becom-
ing attire, and listening with due attention
Then one takes up the Sacred Volume and
reads a portion, whilst a Kabbi expounds.

But as they were completely esoteric in
their doctrines, they omitted the most mys-
terious portions, which were only taught in
the Hadoth,"^ or place of secret meetings.

As a sect they were distinguished by an
aspiration after purity, and, like the Cha-
sidim of earlier times, w^ere confounded in

* Hadoth, from tlie Hebrew Ti^i^Jn? ^ place of
secret meetingj or meeting by appointment.

tlie popular estimation with the great body
of the zealous observers of the law. The
growth of Essenism was a natural result of
the religious feeling which was called out
by the circumstances of the Greek domin-
ion, and it is easy to trace the process by
which it was matured.

From the Maccabsean age there was a
continuous effort among the stricter Jews
to attain an absolute standard of Holiness.
Each class of devotees was looked upon as
practically impure by their successors, who
carried the laws of purity still further;
and the Essenes stood at the extreme limit
of the mystic asceticism, w^hich was thus
gradually reduced to shape.

As an Order they were distinguished
by the following principles and observ-
ances : —

A love of truth and sobriety; love to
God and man, made manifest by religious
zeal and kindly acts towards each other;
always aiding the needy — and to this end
they had stewards in every place where
they dwelt, to supply needy brethren

10

with food and raiment, and as a means of
recognition they had certain signs and pass-
words, by which they presently recognized
each other.

They were divided into three grades, or
ranks, and when a candidate applied for
admission his character was scrutinized
with the greatest severity, and if fonnd
worthy, he was admitted to tlie first grade,
when he was presented with a white gar-
ment and girdle. He then remained in
a state of probation and trial for one year,
dnring which time, although he lived ac-
cording to their customs, he was not ad-
mitted to their secret meetings. At the
termination of this period he was advanced
to the second rank, with its consequent
rights and privileges; but he was not ad-
mitted to full fellowship with them until
after another year of probation, when, if
still found worthy, he was advanced to the
third rank, and invested with all of the
signs, pass- words, and privileges of the
Order.

On his admission he was required to

11

take upon himself a solemn oath or ob-
lio-ation, the heads of which were as fol-
lows : —

To exercise piety towards God and justice
towards men ; to slum the wicked and emu-
late the good ; to show fidelity and obedience
to those in authority ; to be a lover of truth
and a reprover of falsehood; to keep his
hands clean from theft, and his soul from un-
lawful gains ; to conceal nothing from the
Order, nor disclose any of their secrets to
any one in any other manner than he receiv-
ed them himself ; and, lastly, to carefully
guard and preserve the Sacred Books and
Symbols belonging to the Order.

Modern Essenism.
On the revival of Essenism and its intro-
duction into this country, the principles of
the ancient sect were adopted by the new
Order here as a basis of their creed and
government, together with the following
Eitual,^ which is liere given to assist us

* While the modern order has retained the name
(Essenes) and principles of the ancient sect, still it

in hecoming hright and zealous workers
on tliat symbolic structure here below,
to the end that we all may be the
better enabled to eventually enter that
Spiritual Building — that 'House not made
with hands, eternal in the heavens.

Now, as in the ancient time, the candi-
date for admission to the Order has to pass
through a novitiate of two stages of twelve
months each.

On his admission to the first grade,
the following rites and ceremonies are ob-
served : —

First. The Uabban ascends the dais and

. calls the brethren to order, and commands

the Rab to see that all of the approaches to

the Iladoth are duly guarded, so that the

profane may not gain admission.

Then the Eabbi invokes the blessing of

was found necessary to materially modify the ritual,
in order to adapt it to the present state of civilization.
The rites and ceremonies of this Order likewise essen-
tially differ from those practised by a society of
Essenes in this country, who are strictly a religious,
sect.

Deity on their labors (during which time
all in reverence bow), and closes with Amen,
to which all respond, Amen. So mote it be.

After which the liabban thus addresses
the Sawai :- —

Kaeban. — Br. Sawai.

Sawai. — Wfl. Rabban.

Eabb AN. — ^Where did our ancient brethren
meet ?

Sw. — lu Synagogues and in the Iladoth,
or place of secret meeting.

E.ABBAN. — ^What was the manner of teach-
ing among Ancient Essenes ?

Sw. — They taught their more important
doctrines in secret, and philosophized on
most tilings in symbols.

Eabban. — ^Where do Essenes meet at the
present day ?

Sw.-^— In the Hadoth.

* Many of the words in this Eitual have been abbre-
viated. This has been done for two reasons. First,
to present the subject in as condensed and conve-
nient a form as possible. Second, as it renders the
reading somewhat difficult, it will the better fix the
va/riou8 rites and ceremonies in the memory.

14

Rabban. — How do we illustrate the impor.
tant truths prtnng to our dctr'ns ?

Sw. — By symbols.

Eabban. — Wliy arewe assembled to-uight?

Sw. — It was ihe custom among Ancient
Essenes to meet at regTilar and stated peri-
ods for instruction, also to initiate candi-
dates into the msts. of Essenism. We are
thus assembled to-night.

Eabban. — How many const't a quorum in
the Hadoth ?

Sw. — ^Nine or more.

Eabban. — ^Wlien cmpsd. of nine, of whom
do they consist ?

Sw. — The E-abban, Eabbi, Eab, Sawai,
Jawaij Sadain, Jadain, S. M. C, and J. M.

SUCCOTH.

When the Patriarch Jacob was on his way
from Peniel to Shechem, he made booths
for shelter during a halt in the Jordan
valley, which gave the name to the place — •
Succoth (booths). In the distribution among
the Tribes, Succoth fell to the Tribe of
Gad, and was therefore on the East side of
the Jordan.

The people refused to assist Gideon on his
pursuit of the Midianite Sheiks Zebah and
Zalmunna, and 77 of their chief rulers were
killed by him on his return. (Judges viii.)

The vessels of the Temple were cast
in the clay grounds between Succoth

84

and Zeredathah ;* this place was not
far from Jericho, in the valley of the
Jordan {KiJckar), The deep clay banks
are well adapted for moulding and casting
large and fine work, and the clay is now
carried away for such purposes to Jerusalem
and other cities.

The view is in the valley of Jordan,
looking South towards the Dead Sea, from
a point a few miles North of Jericho, where
Zarthan is now located, at the hill of Kum
Surtabeh.

*■ 2 Chron., iv. 17, Zeredathah.
1 Kings, vii. 46, Zarthan.

I' th k'y b' whh alone th door en b opnd to

reve'ls the adnn-abl art o' Inguag, and unfolds
its various cnstituent prts, its names, defni-

wer, th thrd o' wh th wb o' spch is com-
posd. Thes rflectns seldm ocr to any one

crtn tht wthoiit a knwledg of grmmr i't i's

i't mlts lis i tndrns, an' xcits us to w'r.
Ths seine i' truly cngenial t' th natur o'

THE ESSENES' GATE.

The importance and influence of the
Order of Essenes is seen in the fact of a
gate of the city of Jerusalem being named
after them.

The Gate of the Essenes (described by
Josephus, Wars, v. iv. ; 2) was on Zion,
as you go south from the present Zion gate,
following the path around the tomb of
David. A slight depression of the ground is
perceptible near the brow of the hill looking
south towards the valley of Hinnom ; at
this spot was the Gate of the Essenes.
There are no ruins above ground, and no
•elics of any kind remaining from which to
form an idea of its appearance.

218
THE GATES OF THE TEMPLE.*

THE SOUTH GATE.

In the south wall of the Temple area is a
double gate, now walled up, and called the
Fluldah Gate (from the Talmud). This is
built of very large stones, especially inside,
and has an entrance hall 50 feet long by 40
wide, leading to a passage (by a flight of
nine stone steps) 250 feet long, which (by
another flight of three steps) conducts tc
the area above.

" In the centre of the entrance hall there is
a column formed of a single block oi
marble, which supports the spring of four
arches (on which rest four domes) ; the
height is 21 feet, and the diameter 6 feet and
3 inches. There is no monument of anti-
quity in Jerusalem that is more interesting
than this relic of the Jewish builders of the
days of Solomon.

* The works of the following scholars and travellers
may be referred to on this subject :
City of the Great King. Dr. Barclay.
Robinson's Biblical Besearches^ and
Rawson's Bible Hand-book.

WEST GATE.

219

THE WEST GATE.

A few years since. Dr. Barclay (City
of the Great King, page 489) dicovered,
after it had been hidden by rubbish and
buildings, the west gate of the Temple.
The engraving shows only a part of the
lintel of this gate, and only this much can
be seen, for the authorities have not yet
permitted a further examination of the
place. The stone shown measures 20 feet
long by 6 feet 9 inches thick. The Temple
site, about twenty feet above the inside of
the gateway, is occupied by modern build-
ings, which hide nearly all the ancient work,
only leaving bare the arched top and edge
of the lintel.

THE EAST GATE.

The entrance to the Temple enclosure on
the east is now walled up and kept closed
by the Mohammedans, because of a supersti-
tious fear that the Christians will enter the
city by that gate and drive them out.

The style is ancient, and its interior is
ornamented with rich and elaborate car-
vings in the Grecian style.

The length is 70 feet, and breadth 55, and
it projects 6 feet beyond the wall ; two
3olumns divdde it into a double arcade,
lighted at the west end by two domes.
The effect is grand and imposing.

The columns are formed out of a single
block of marble, and the walls are eleven
feet thick. A grand stairway of massive
stone blocks leads from the gate up to the
platform, which is 25 feet above.

The Crusaders called this the GOLDEN
GATE (Porta Aurea).

ANCIENT TALENT.*
The Talent was a denomination or
weight of gold, silver, or copper, usually of
a circular form. At the time of the build-
ing of the Temple its weight and value was
as follows :

f The Hebrew Gold Talent weighed.. .1,320,000 grs.
** ^' SUver *'• '' 660,000 ''

"• Persian Gold " " 400,000 ''

** Babylonian Silver Talent wei^-hed 959,000 **
( ** American Gold Dollar, coinage of

1855 25.8")

* The Talent (133) means a circle or globe, here

denoting a circular mass of metal, or aggregate sum.

Ill case of the death, inability, or absence
of the Wr., or a vacancy in his oflSce, the

to his prerogatives and duties for all pur-
poses ; and in case of the absence of either
of the W.ns. the Wr., will appoint some
one to temporarily fill his place.
