Short description: High priest of the Samaritan community
Family of the Samaritan High Priests, 1876. To the left is a scribe named Shalabi, to the right are Isaac the son of the High Priest Amram ben Shalma, then Abisha, the son of Amram's brother Pinehas, and finally Uzzi the son of the High Priest Yaacob ben Aaharon ben Shalma, the son of Amram's brother Aaharon.

The Samaritan High Priest is the high priest (kohen gadol) of the Samaritan community in the Levant. According to Samaritan tradition, the office has existed continuously since the time of Aaron, the brother of Moses, and has been held by 133 priests over the last 3400 years. However, the historicity of this claim is disputed. One account by Josephus suggests that its office holders are an offshoot of the Zadokite high priests of Jerusalem from around the time of Alexander the Great.[1][2] (As of 2013), the incumbent high priest is Abdel V.

Office of the High Priest

Duties and responsibilities

The Samaritan High Priest has the following duties in the present:[3]

  1. He decides all religious law issues.
  2. He presides over the religious ceremonies on Mount Garizim.
  3. He validates all marriages and divorces within the Samaritan community.
  4. He annually publishes the liturgical calendar of the Samaritans.
  5. He confirms a joining of the Samaritan community.
  6. He appoints the Cantors and the Shechita of the community.
  7. He represents the Samaritan community to the outside world.

Lineage

Since 1623/24, the office of high priest has been passed down in a family traced back to Aaron's grandson Itamar. After the death of a high priest, the office passes to the oldest male in that family, unless he has entered into a marriage that disqualifies him from the high priesthood.[3]

It appears, based upon the larger gaps in time between high priests, that several names might be missing, or that there were long periods of vacancy between priests.

The continuous lineage of Samaritan High Priests, descending directly from Aaron, through his son Eleazar, and his son Phinehas, was however disrupted in the early 17th century. In 1624, Shalma I ben Phinehas, the last Samaritan High Priest of the line of Eleazar son of Aaron died without male succession, but descendants of Aaron's other son, Ithamar, remained and took over the office.[4]

There are four families within the house of Ithamar. The Åbtå order, descended from the 113th High Priest Tsedaka ben Tabia, which has held the office of the High Priesthood since 1624; the House of Phineas a.k.a. Dār 'Åder, descended from Fīn'ās ban Yīṣ'å̄q (Phineas ben Isaac); Dār Yīṣ'å̄q, descended from Yīṣ'å̄q ban Åmrām (Isaac ben Amram); and Dār Yāqob, descended from Yāqob ban Årron (Jacob ben Aaron).

List of Samaritan High Priests

Pummer's list

The following list gives the names and terms of office according to Reinhard Pummer.[5] Pummer uses a spelling for the name of the high priest that is based on the English Bible for the bearers of biblical names, while he chooses a more scientific transcription for the full name (last column). The traditional counting begins with the first post-biblical high priest Sheshai. It differs in order in some cases from the list prepared by Moses Gaster and Reinhard Pummer on the basis of the ancient Samaritan sources, and includes additional names (italics here).

Traditional Numbering High Priest Name Term Comments Civil name and life data
Aaron I. (אהרן) Biblical figure, brother of Moses. He is considered in the Torah to be the "ancestor of the legitimate Levitical-Aaronid priesthood."[6]
Eleazar I. (אלעזר) Biblical figure, son of Aaron and his successor as high priest.[7]
Phinehas I. (פינחס) Biblical figure, son of Eleazar. Because of his religious "zeal" he and his descendants are awarded a perpetual priesthood.[8]

(אבישע) According to Samaritan tradition, Aaron's great-grandson[9] is said to have written down a Pentateuch scroll that is first mentioned by Abū l'Fatḥ in the 14th century and, in a very poor state of preservation, is kept by the Samaritan community as a precious possession. The Abisha Scroll is considered the original of all Samaritan Torah scrolls.[10]

106 Itamar (איתמר) The high priest Itamar ben Aaron ben Itamar in Damascus was one of the scribes of a Pentateuch codex (Ms. London, British Library, Cotton Claudius B. viii).[25]
107 Amram VII. (עמרם) In his time Samaria was conquered and many Samaritans were captured and taken to Damascus, but the Samaritan community in Damascus bought them free.[23]
108 Uzzi III
109 Phinehas VII. (פינחס) In 1516, Ottoman rule began in Palestine. The total number of Samaritans at that time is given as 500 people who lived in Cairo, Gaza and Damascus in addition to Nablus. The census of 1538/39 mentions 29 Samaritan households in Nablus, from which a number of 178 persons can be estimated.[26] Pinḥas ben Eleazar
110 Eleazar XIX. (אלעזר) 1549–1595/96 In his time a ritual bath was built for the Samaritans in Shechem.[24] Eleazar ben Pinḥas
111 Phinehas VIII. (פינחס) 1595/96–1614/15 Pinḥas ben Eleazar
112 Shalma I ben Phinehas 1614/15–1623/24 With Shelemya, who was murdered,[27] ended the original high priestly dynasty, which traced itself back to Phinehas, the grandson of Aaron. Centuries later, the Samaritan community was still researching whether there might have been members of the Phinehas dynasty living in Europe.[27] Shelemia ben Pinḥas
113 Tsedaka II ben Tabia ha'Åbtå'i 1623/24–1650 Ṣadaqa II was the first high priest from the family that has been in office since then, tracing back to Itamar, the brother of Phinehas.[3] This family was considered Levitical until then; since it was the only surviving Levitical family, Levitical and Aaronid descent has been synonymous among the Samaritans since then.[27] Ṣadaqa ben Ṭabia Halevi
114 Yitzhaq I ben Tsedaka 1650–1694 Jiṣḥaq ben Ṣadaqa
115 Abram ben Yitzhaq 1694–1732 Abraham ben Jiṣḥaq ben Ṣadaqa
116 Levi V ben Abram 1733–1752 Levi ben Abraham
117 Tabia III ben Yitzhaq ben Abram 1752–1787 This high priest settled in the Samaritan community in Gaza.[28] Ṭabia ben Jiṣḥaq
118 Shalma II ben Tabia 1798–1828 Salama was four years old at his father's death and the only surviving member of the high priestly family. He assumed the office of high priest at the age of 15.[29] In 1810 he sent a letter to the French senator Henri Grégoire, in which he lamented the distressed situation of the Samaritans. Since 1785 it was no longer possible to offer the Passover sacrifice on the Garizim; it had to take place in the city.[30] Salama ben Ṭabia ben Jiṣḥaq (1784–1855)
119 Amram VIII ben Shalma 1828–1859/60 In 1832 the pilgrimages to Mount Garizim could be resumed.[30] In the 1840s, Muslim ulama demanded that all Samaritans be forcibly converted to Islam because they did not belong to any book religion. The Sephardic chief rabbi of Jerusalem produced an expert opinion that the Samaritans belonged to the people of Israel and lived according to the Torah. This (together with a gift of money) averted the danger from the Samaritan community.[31][32] Upon British intervention, the Passover sacrifice on Mount Garizim was again permitted by the Ottoman authorities in 1849.[33]
120 Yaacob I ben Aaharon ben Shalma 1859/60–1916 Jacob I promoted the opening to the West and to the Jewish community, seeing opportunities for the small Samaritan community in the interest of the world public.[34] Jaaqob ben Aharon ben Salama
