1
And it came to pass that when we had finished pouring over the things of YHVH Elohim, that Laman and Baraq, son of Laman, did desire to be washed clean in the living water to fulfill all righteousness.
2
Wherefore, I did take them unto a running stream, and there I did speak unto them, saying:
3
If ye be willing to mourn with those that do mourn, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and be willing to bear the burdens of others that they be light,
4
Then ye do truly be desirous to come into the fold of YHVH, to be called Israel.
5
¶ And it came to pass that Laman and Baraq, son of Laman, did speak unto me, saying: This is the desire of our hearts.
6
And so it was that I did take them into the water to wash them.
7
And before washing Laman, I did pray unto El Elyon, saying: Having authority, given me of Elohim Shaddai, I do wash thee in the name of YHVH Elohim, that you be clean unto eternal life.
8
And so it was that I did take Baraq, son of Laman, into the water and I did wash him likewise that he be clean also.
9
¶ And it came to pass that after we did come up out of the water that Laman did ask of me, saying: What is this that thou hast been given of YHVH that you should say these things?
10
¶ And I did speak unto him, saying: The Torah, given unto us from Moses, mouth to ear, doth teach us, saying:
11
There are two Priesthoods: the Priesthood of an Endless Life; and the Priesthood of Life;
12
And so it is that in the Priesthood of an Endless Life are two Orders; and these be that of Talmidim and of the Priests and Priestesses.
13
¶ And of the Talmidim there are four degrees; that of Mechoqek (Hebrew מְחוֹקֵק, “lawgiver”) being the first degree,
14
And these are they who are the Talmid (Hebrew תלמיד, “disciple” or “student,” here refering to an Apostle), and a Prophet, and a Seer, and one who does reveal the will of YHVH, your Elohim, and that doth know the languages.
15
And there is one called to this first degree that doth give the Torah of God even from his mouth.
16
¶ And there is another one called to the second degree, to be a counselor unto the other; and they are a prophet, a seer and sar (Hebrew סַר, “prince” or “ruler”):
17
And this we see in Moses, the lawgiver and Zipporah, the councilor; he being the first degree, and she being the second; and these being one, even as YHVH is One.
18
¶ And that of Tsiyr (Hebrew צִיר, “ambassador” or “envoy”) is the third degree; and these are they who are Talmidim, and of these there shall be twelve;
19
And they shall be talmidim and tsiyr (ambassadors or witnesses) to the foreigners, and teachers in all places where the Mechoqek shall send them.
20
And we did see that Moses did call twelve men and twelve women, one from each tribe.
21
¶ And that of musar is the fourth degree, that of the evangelist; and these are seven talmidim, and tsiyr of Israel, to where they are sent.
22
¶ And of the Priests and Priestesses of this order, there are two degrees; that of High Priests and High Priestess is the first, and that of Elder is the second degree.
23
And we know that Moses did call men and women of all the tribes to these,
24
And we do wear the tzitzits to show that Israel is a nation of kings and queens, and priests and priestesses;
25
Therefore, we know that the Levites do their duties unto YHVH, and that Ha’Elohim doth call others of the tribes, for are we not all Israel?
26
¶ And Moses did teach us by the Word of the Torah, saying: And the Levites shall serve in the Priesthood of Life;
27
And in that Priesthood of Life there are three; that of the Priests and the Priestesses, and that of the Teachers, and that of the Shamashim.
28
And of the Shamashim there shall be three degrees, and of the Teachers there shall be five degrees; and of the Priests and Priestesses there shall be two degrees.
29
¶ And there shall be a Chief Priest from amongst the Priests of the Priesthood of Life, and there shall be a Chief Priestess from amongst the Priestesses of the Priesthood of Life,
30
And there shall also be a first and second High Priest and a first and second High Priestess;
31
And a leader of each division (or group) of Priests and of each division of Priestesses, and this to every Temple throughout the land, once it be established.
32
And this Priesthood shall be divided into groups, according to the nature of their duties;
33
And there shall be those set apart in the several divisions, to guide and direct them in the mitzvoth of their division.
34
¶ And these are the words of Moses, given us by the Torah from his mouth to our ears, even unto this day.
35
Wherefore, when ye should ask of me: What is this that thou hast been given of YHVH that you should say these things?
36
Know then that it is the Priesthood of Endless Life that YHVH hath bestowed upon me, by the hands of His malakim, for in the hands of YHVH Elohim are all the keys given of Yah;
37
Therefore, I am of they who are called by the order of Yah, yea, even after the order of His Son.
38
¶ And it came to pass that I did lay my hands upon Laman and Baraq, son of Laman, and pass down these very same keys, in the wisdom of YHVH and for a wise purpose unto YHVH.
39
And then did Laman and Baraq, the son of Laman, go back down into that living water and wash one another even after the same manner in the which I had washed them clean.
