The ritual for the Scottish Rite was written by a French Crypto Jew/Jesuit. I can't recall his name at the moment but he was a Jesuit priest and so he used the Jesuit ritual and modified it so that became the 4th through the 33rd degree in the Scottish Rite. Yes, it's full of old Testament stuff like talking about Cyrus the Great and Zerubbabel. I always assumed it was Old Testament stuff but it's also possible that it came from the Talmud.
