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 
 
13 
 
 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. 
 
13 
 
 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. 
 C. 
 
 Kabban. — Have we a quorum to-night ? 
 
 Sw. — I will call the roll of officers and as- 
 certain (calls the roll). We have a quorum,

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.

 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.

 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.

 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. 
 
220 
 
 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.

 Rawson's Bible Hand-book.

 Ill case of the death, inability, or absence 
 of the Wr., or a vacancy in his oflSce, the 
 S. and J. W.ns will in succession succeed 
 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. 
 
 Page 23—^^ The S. and J. M. C. are 
 officers appointed by the Wr., their duty 
 being to conduct the ceremonies at the 
 iniatng., pssng., and rsg of candts. In 
 many Hadoths, however, the Sd acts as 
 S. M. C, and in some instances the Jd acts
