In the Damascus Document, known since at least the ninth
century, the Qumran Covenanters swallowed the Teacher of
Righteousness. He brings them a new Covenant with God.
John Allegro first recognized the importance of swallowing (from
teval c a) in 1970. 570 He related the names Jesus and Joshua to dew and the
semen that heals and saves.
Swallowing is important in the Habakkuk Pesher (XI 4-5). The
Wicked Priest pursues the Righteous Teacher to swallow him.
Swallowing is again mentioned in connection with Wisdom in Aaron A –
4Q541 (2.8): 571
Behold a wise man will understand that I am seeing and
comprehending deep Mysteries, thus I am speaking …. parables.
The Greek will not understand, But the knowledge of Wisdom
will come to you, for you have received … you will acquire
Pursue her (Wisdom) and seek her and gain possession of her to
swallow (her) down. Behold you will gladden many … many (will
have) a place.
A most important function of the Melchizedek priests at the time
of the Exodus was to set out the Bread of the Presence of God on a golden
table in front of the Ark of the Covenant, also called the Ark of Alliance.
Moses decreed that the Ark should contain a quantity of the Bread of
Heaven or manna found by the Israelites in the wilderness so future
generations would see what it was like. 572
And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it
was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers
made with honey. And Moses said, This is the thing which the
Lord commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your
generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed
you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of
Egypt. And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer
full of manna therein, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for
your generations. As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laid
it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
Somewhat oddly, Moses commanded a renowned goldsmith and
architect called Bezaleel to prepare the Bread of the Presence of God.
Indeed, Bezaleel was the same goldsmith Moses had commissioned to
create the Ark of the Covenant. Coincidently, the renowned architect of
King Solomon’s Temple, Hiram Abiff, was not an architect in Biblical
texts. 573 He was an expert artisan working in gold, brass and dyes.
