III.
1 And this is the rule for the members of the Community
for those who volunteer to be converted away from all evil
and to cling to all Anokeesed’ s desires according to His will
to separate themselves from walking in the ways of the people
to become a Community of His Right Hand
and with regard to property and all their ways of living
in their daily lives
under the authority of the Council of righteousness
and those who keep the Covenant
and under the authority of the decrees of the members
of the Community in Common Consent
they who cling to the Man
under their authority shall destiny be decreed in all things
whether it concern the Law
or righteousness
property
or justice
they shall practice truth in common
and humility
and righteousness
and justice
and loving charity
and modesty in all their ways
let no one walk in the stubbornness of their heart to stray
by following after the ways of the world
and the thoughts of any evil or rebellious inclination
but in the Community they shall purify their lives from evil
and the tendency toward disobedience
in order to lay a foundation of truth for Anokeesed
and for the Community of the everlasting Covenant
that they may have love for all who have consecrated
their lives to Him
for the love of repentance and worship
and for those who join them to live in Community
and to participate in decisions destined to guide those
who grope to find their way
2 And let them undertake by Covenant
to be separated from all the ways of the people
who walk in the ways of the Decadarchiy
3 For it is written
that the Lord said to Enoch
it is the task that I have been given by my Father
that I should follow all the children of men
out of the natural world into the temporal world
And I must follow to go with them whithersoever they go
And it is known that except for Ma’een
in the beginning
and at the end
all religions of man are corrupt to some degree
or all together
And it is my task to find the means
within the context of those religions
to bring salvation to as many as will love me and my Father
And in this way
I must be subject to their sins and corruptions
in their lives and religions
And in another place it says
God has given man religions
4 From these sayings comes the precepts
to guide those who dwell in Ma’een
as they pray for those who have fallen
and again it is written
All those who repent and come unto me the same is my church
and there can be found in the world
those of His church who have love for the Son of Anokeesed
and the Spirit will lead those who ask Him
as the people of Ma’een
enter into friendships with those who live outside the Covenant
respect and kindness must be expressed
within the bounds of the Religion of Shabuwa
do not be drawn into friendliness with the Decadarchiy
and always hold the principles of righteousness
and holiness of heart
for the Lord may have need of you at any moment
and call upon you for assistance
and friendliness with the enemies of Motsah the Lamb
will prevent them from hearing His call
5 The Decadarchiy have many subtleties that lie in wait
for they that love the Decadarchiy
are not counted in His Covenant
for they have not inquired nor sought Him
concerning His precepts in order to know Him
and they have hidden matters in which they have strayed
and they have treated with insolence matters revealed
by which they have brought themselves to sorrow and to danger
let not any such a one who loves the Decadarchiy
enter to pollute the purification of righteousness
for a person is not pure unless they are converted
from their disobedience and ignorance
for they are defiled for as long as they know not His Word
let none of His people join them in their work or possessions
and let them receive nothing at all from their hand
in which the Spirit of The Man is suppressed or rejected
and all those from the world that despise His Word
shall be brought into distress
for their deeds are defilement before Him
and their possessions wholly unclean
6 And this is the law concerning the Overseer of the Camp
he shall instruct the Many in the works of God
and he shall teach them of His marvelous deeds
and shall recount before them the happenings of former times
and he shall have pity on them
as a father for his children
and he shall carry them in all of their despondency
as a shepherd does his flock
and he shall unloose all the bonds which bind them
that there may no more be any oppressed
or broken among his congregation
let no member of the Community arrogate to themselves
the right to introduce any visitor into the Community
against the decision of the Overseer of the Camp
let no member of the Covenant of God have any dealings
with the sons of the Pit
except by paying them from hand to hand
and let no association be formed for buying
or selling
or trading
without making it known to the Overseer of the Community
and without acting loyally to all of his instructions
and let the Overseer be kind and understanding
to all the needs of his flock
and let it be likewise for whosoever is expelled from community
let the Overseer be kind to them
and let him answer them in all their concerns
that with loving charity he may bear them no malice
7 And if any person enters the Community
to act according to these precepts by joining the holy congregation
the Council shall examine their spirit in common
distinguishing between one and the other
according to their understanding
and their works in accordance to the desires of Anokeesed
the decision shall lie with the ones who love Repentance
and who volunteer in common to establish His covenant
and to attend to all the desires which He has desired
together with those who are converted in common to His Covenant
and they shall inscribe them in order
one before the other
according to their need for protection and discipline
that they may all relate to each other
according to the leadings of the Spirit of the Lord
8 And they shall examine the spirit and works of each one
year by year
in order to evaluate each one according to their understanding
and the perfection of their conduct
or to move them
according to their need and their contribution to Community
9 They shall reprove each other in truth
and humility
and loving charity one toward the other
Let no person speak to their neighbor in anger
or ill-temper
or disrespect
or impatience
or with a spirit of contempt
and let no person hate their neighbor
in the perversity of their heart
they shall see that reproval comes to them on the very same day
and thus forgiveness and resolve come
before the setting of the sun
let each one be their own accuser
and freely confess their faults to one another
10 And this is the norm of their conduct concerning how to tell
when a person is ready to enter into the Community
when they desire to join the Community
let whoever comes to the Council of the Community to ask
to enter into the Covenant of God
in the presence of all the members of Community
and let them undertake by oath of obligation
to be converted to the Lord according to all His desires
with all their heart and all their soul
following all that is revealed of it
to the men of service who keep the Covenant
and seek His will
and according to the consent of the members of their Covenant
which are those who consecrate their lives together
for His Truth
and to walk in His will
11 In these precepts shall walk
those that are together in all their dwelling places
and in whatever concerns work or property
worship or healing
they all shall consider the needs of each other
and they shall eat in common
bless in common
and deliberate in common
and in every place where there are members of the Community
let there not lack among them an expression
of righteousness and respect
and let them sit before each other
and ask each other advice in everything
and then when they set the table to eat in assembly
or prepare the food
let a man of service first stretch out his hand
to pronounce a blessing on the meal
12 Let all those in Community find occasion to study often
that which has been revealed
in relation to their behavior toward one another
and toward Anokeesed
and let the Many watch in common anytime the Lord has need
night or day
and let them bless Him in common
13 And each one who knows Anokeesed shall pursue holiness
by walking uprightly in all they do
following the Law which is written into the heart of each one
in their vision of created purpose
and also that which has been established in righteousness
and when a person strays from this holy walk
they shall be separated
and shall spend the appointed number of days
walking in the holy state of Repentance with Motsah the Lamb
and all during these days they shall continue in their daily work
and also spend much time in prayer
introspection
and additional Community service to their fellows
being guided by a man of service
to assist them in their purification
for serious offenses
the man of service shall seek advice from the Council
in determining the days of repentance
