Dead Sea Scrolls part 3 of As It Is Translated Correctly Chapter 7 by Ogden Kraut

As for the priesthood, they shall be a seat for the holy of holies, inasmuch as all of them will have knowledge of the Covenant of justice and all of them be qualified to offer what will be indeed “a pleasant savor” to the Lord. (Dead Sea Scriptures, Gaster, p. 61)

They are to extend forgiveness to all among the priesthood that have freely enlisted in the [86] cause of holiness, and to all among the laity that have done so in the cause of truth, and likewise to all that have associated themselves with them. (Dead Sea Scriptures, Gaster, p. 52)

The Twelve Apostles

There are twelve “men of holiness” who act as general guides of the community–a remarkable correspondence with the Twelve Apostles. These men have three superiors, answering to the designation of John, Peter and James as the three pillars of the Church. (Dead Sea Scriptures, Gaster, p. 39)
