2. RESTORATION:
In the HODAYOT (THANKSGIVING PSALMS), there appears to be a direct appearance of God-face to face to their leader. VERMES, p. 97, has this to say: " His (referring to the leader, called the Teacher of Righteousness) teaching consisted mainly of the interpretation of the word of God, and most of all, the writings of the Prophets. The understanding of mysteries (often this word means, ordinances) was, according the HABAKKUK COMMENTARY, revealed to him not by an angel, as was the case with Daniel, but directly by God. He had a better knowledge than even the Prophets of the events concerning the end of times" In the HODAYOT, it seems to refer to the idea that the doctrines had been had five times before.

PSALM D: "I give The thanks, Adonai! For Thou hast illumined my face by They Covenant and I sought Thee: then, like a veritable dawn, like Destiny Thou didst appear unto me." SOMMER, p. 74. He goes on to foot note No. 3 this quote for the word ˜Destiny: "In Hebrew: LWRTWM: in common with Sukenik I recognize in this the word Ur-tum, singular of urim-tummim, an expression which indicated the sacred lot in ancient Israel." Perhaps a reference to Aaron and descendants of Aaron of old having the Urim and Thummim, and perhaps its use to confront and access God.
