YASNA X

Nota Bene: In the below text, the numbers II and III (indicated in violet) are identical to part of the Essene texts from the Dead Sea Scrolls, given below here for comparison.

HOM YAST, Continued.

I I praise the Cloud that waters You, and the Rains that make you grow, on the summits of the Mountains ; and I praise Your lofty Mountains, where the Haoma branches spread.

II This wide Earth do I praise, expanded far with paths, so productive, and full-bearing, Your Mother, Holy Plant !

III Yea, I praise the Lands where You do grow, sweet scented, swiftly spreading, the good growth of the Lord.

IV Grow then, with all Your stems and branches, with all Your shoots and tendrils, increase, You ! through my Word.

V To five I do belong, to five others I do not :

Of Good Thought I am, of the evil I am not ;
Of the Good Word I am, of the evil I am not ;
Of the Good Deed I am, of the evil I am not.
To Obedience I am given, and to deaf disobedience I am not ;
To the Ashavan l do belong, and to the wicked, I do not.

VI We do worship Haoma, who makes us progress ; we do worship Haoma, who drives death far away ; Yea, we do worship all the Haoma Plants !

The Essene Gospel of Peace, Book II, THE COMMUNIONS, p.39,

Fourth Communion, with the Angel of Earth:

Nota Bene: Except the parts marked in violet, there are even more parts, marked in different colours, that literally correspond with other text from the Zend Avesta !
And this is but one example given here ; there are many more commonplaces between The Essene Scriptures and The Zend Avesta !

The fourth Communion is with The Angel of Earth, She who brings forth corn and grapes from the fullness of the earth, She who brings children from the loins of husband and wife.

He who would till the earth, with the left arm and the right, unto him will she bring forth an abundance of fruit and grain, Golden-hued plants growing up from the earth during the spring, as far as the earth extends, as far as the rivers stretch, as far as the sun rises, to impart their gifts of food unto men.

This wide earth do I praise, expanded far with paths, the productive, the full-bearing, thy Mother, holy plant!

Yea, I praise the lands where thou dost grow, sweet-scented swiftly spreading, the good growth of the Lord.

(Yasna X)

He who sows corn, grass and fruit, sows the Law. (= ASHA)

(Fargard III, XI)

And his harvest shall be bountiful, and his crop shall be ripe upon the hills as a reward for the followers of the Law,

The Lord sent the Angel of Earth, Holy messenger of the Earthly Mother to make the plants to grow, and to make fertile the womb of woman, that the earth may never be without the laughter of children.

Let us worship the Lord in her!
