    Who did the Essenes refer to as the Teacher of Righteousness?

    Question #95954. Asked by zbeckabee. (May 22 08 10:30 AM)


    1916

    		One theory on the formation of the Essenes suggested the movement was founded by a Jewish High Priest, dubbed by the Essenes the Teacher of Righteousness

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essenes

    The First Teacher of Righteousness was Zadoc, appointed by David, ca 980 BCE: The Teacher of Righteousness in the Scrolls always refers to the chief, or High Priest of the Zadoc line. After Onias, the last of the Zadoc line was killed by Menelaus, there is no further reference to the Teacher of Righteousness
