The Scroll of the Rule Adapted from The Essene Writings from Qumran by Dupont-Sommer, For use in the religion of Shabuwa in the tribulation times

I. 1 This is the Book of Meditation for the people of Ma’een who know Anokeesed that they may instruct those who have consecrated their lives to Anokeesed to live according to the rule of the Community to seek Anokeesed with all their heart and all their soul and to do what is good and right before Him as He has revealed in our sacred writings by his servants the prophets to love all that He has chosen and to rejoice where He rejoices and grieve with Him when He grieves and to depart from all of the evil of the Fallen Watchers of Heaven who teach against the love of Anokeesed and to cling to all works of goodness and to join with The Man in element to practice Truth and righteousness and justice on the earth to walk no more in the blindness of a guilty heart nor with lustful eyes committing every kind of offense 2 But to cause all those suited to the discipline who wish to practice the precepts of Anokeesed to enter into the Covenant of Grace that they may be united in the Council of God and behave perfectly before Him according to all the revelations concerning their visions of created purpose that they may join with Him to love all the people of His Right Hand in lovingkindness each according to the desires of Anokeesed in the Council of God and that they may grieve with Him over all the doings of the sons of darkness each according to the feelings of the tender heart of Anokeesed 3 And all of those of the Community of Ma’een that cling to His Truth shall bring all their understandings and powers and possessions into the Community of God to purify their understanding in the Truth of the precepts of Anokeesed and to order their powers according to the perfection of His Ways and to view all their possessions according to His gentle right counsel and they shall make no single step away from the words of Anokeesed in their hearts and lives and they shall honor the desires of His heart and not delay to embrace them for any reason and they shall not depart from His precepts of the Truth which are given to His people to walk either to the right or to the left 4 And all who wish to live in the Community must abide by the Rule of the Community and shall enter into taking the Covenant in the presence of God undertaking to act according to all that which they have promised Him and shown in their behavior according to the precept and not turn back from Him in their Covenant on account of fear or fright or any affliction whatever if tempted by the dominion of Semihazah 5 And whoever among the people that knows Anokeesed who wishes to join the Community they shall be examined on their intelligence and deeds by the man who is the Overseer at the head of the Many and if the candidate is suited to the discipline then the Overseer will bring them to the Council so that their case may be considered to see if they have indeed been converted to the truth and have turned away from all perversity 6 If they are willing to cross over into the covenant then they shall enter the Omer Classes beginning with the First Omer and be instructed in all the knowledge and ways of the Community 7 When they shall continue their process they will faithfully make an effort and shall say in their hearts I will do whatever it takes in my repentance and discipline to know Him this is called the Omer of Repentance and they shall use The Book of Remembrance of Achee as their text 8 And when they approach the Many after the accomplishment of their First Omer the Many shall consider their case and according to the leadings of the Spirit and the advice of their instructors they shall decide if they shall either approach to the Second Omer Class or depart from the Community 9 When they have accomplished their first promise then they shall extend that promise unto the second to become purified and sanctified in Him and come clean before Him to begin to increasingly feel Him in all things this is the time of the second Omer of Righteousness and their text is The Book of Remembrance of Enoch 10 And when they approach the Many after the accomplishment of their Second Omer the Many shall consider their case and according to the leadings of the Spirit they shall decide if they shall either approach the Third Omer or not 11 When next they enter into the time of the third Omer of All Things Common they are again extending that promise to develop relationships with The Man through righteousness in all things to become sanctified in Him and sickness and sorrow will be done away to the extent that the Eerkodeshiy will obey them and they shall use The Book of Remembrance of our Ancient Grandmothers as their text 12 And when they have lived in the Community for three years or more they may approach the Many after the accomplishment of their third Omer the Many shall consider their case according to the leadings of the Spirit 13 When they undertake the Fourth Omer so that they may enlarge their promise to know and feel both the joys and burdens of Anokeesed and participate in acts of companionship to comfort Him 14 Then they may enter into the Fourth Omer of Common Consent with all the Many upon being approved by the Council and they shall declare The nature of His personality will be before me in all of my daily walk and the power of it will influence all of my behavior towards my fellows and my loving kindness will abound and The Book of Remembrance of Melchizedek shall be their text 15 To pass from one Omer to the next each one shall be instructed by their teachers according to whatever amount of time they need and having passed their Omer they shall have a ceremony of installation for each stage of commitment and all promises shall be made at the altar during Ingathering before all their fellows if more than one Omer has been accomplished during the year they may state all of the promises at this time 16 And since the time that they entered into the Covenant this is what they shall do year by year during all the time of their service to Anokeesed 17 All the people of Ma’een shall pass before Anokeesed in their order according to their place of inscription one after another that every person of Ma’een may know the place they must occupy in the Community of God and that of the eternal council of Anokeesed by His Spirit together with the council of the Eerkodeshiy 18 And no one shall go down from their place they occupy nor raise themselves above their place to which they are assigned for all those in the Community of Truth shall maintain virtuous humility loving charity and careful discernment one toward another in the Council of holiness as people of the everlasting company 19 But whoever scorns to enter the ways of God and be taught by the Community of His Counsel in order to walk in the stubbornness of their heart they shall not pass into His Community of Truth for their soul has demonstrated a loathing of the teaching of knowledge an unwillingness to teach their children the ways of Anokeesed and they have not established within them the understanding of righteousness by the conversion of their lives 20 Therefore they shall not be counted among the upright people of Ma’een And their understandings and powers and possessions shall not be brought in to the Council of the Community of God For their silence is invaded by the confusion of pride and defilements are hidden within their calm 21 If they will not allow themselves to be taught then they present to others that they feel things in their hearts which they do not feel Then in the stubbornness of their hearts they shall not be justified nor when they behold the ways of light while clinging to their stubbornness among the obedient they shall not be counted They shall not be absolved by atonement nor purified by lustral waters nor sanctified by seas and rivers nor cleansed by all the waters of washing or helped by any use of the element of righteousness Unclean unclean shall they be in their awareness of The Man Who Is as long as they scorn the Truth of God and allow not themselves to be taught by the Community of His Council 22 For by the Spirit of the Lord’s true counsel concerning the ways of mankind shall all their sins be forgiven so they may look upon the Living Light By the Holy Spirit of Ka’ee in the Community of His truth shall they be cleansed of all their sins and by the Spirit of uprightness and humility shall their iniquity be atoned by the Lord’s love and compassion By their humility towards all the precepts of God shall their soul be cleansed when washed with lustral water and sanctified in the flowing living water of Motsah the Lamb 23 And they shall order their steps to walk perfectly in all the ways of God according to the desires of Anokeesed concerning His purposes for them in Community And they shall step aside neither to right nor to the left and shall make no single step away from all His words and counsel to the Community Then will they please God with agreeable service and thus it will obtain for them the inheritance of the eternal Community 24 And this is that which they shall delight to be taught to love repentance and virtue to pray unceasing to conform their personal interests to the will of God to have righteous relationships with the elements of the Eerkodeshiy and no friendly relationships with all the Decadarchiy to form no opinion without the guidance of the Lord and include Him in all their decisions to love whatever they love with Him and thereby love it completely to seek Him with all their heart and soul in order to keep the First Commandment and the Second likewise to put the Lord first in all their doings to live their visions of created purpose individually collectively and completely to do everything they do for Him to learn how to care about everything to learn how to blend their personal relationship with God with that of others to vigorously pursue their independent dominion with its contribution to Community to live by faith to reject the desires for the satisfaction of possessions and the satisfaction of dominance to always assume the best of their fellows to seek the Lord to find Him to know Him to love Him as He has loved each of His children and to diligently instruct their children in all these ways
