To the descendants of Joseph, to be kept hidden from the World until the Last Days: By the Power of YHVH, these Plates of Brass shall not perish, neither shall they be dimmed by time; but YHVH Elohim shall preserve these Words to go forth unto all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people from the mouths of those who are of the seed of Joseph; and even as Joseph fed Israel and kept them safe from famine in a strange land, these plates must be preserved that Israel may eat of the Word of God in the famine that shall be found the Last Days. 
To those charged to keep these records: keep them safe, keep them hidden until Fullness of Times; for in them are the manna to feed Israel, and in them are the coat of many colors preserved unto the seed of our father, Joseph, as given Him by his Father, Jacob; and in Israel is found the straight path to YHVH Elohim. 
Israel be blessed, for in YHVH is our salvation found, throughout all time and for all eternity; Amen.

The Five Books of Moses

1 Sefer Moses

The Book of Beginnings

The Word of YHVH given us by His servant, Moses, who freed Israel from her bondage of doubt and disbelief.

Chapter 1

The Creator

The words of Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh which He spake unto Moses at a time when Moses was caught up into an exceeding high mountain; 
And he saw The Creator face to face, and he talked with Him; 
And Ruach Hakodesh was upon Moses; therefore, Moses could endure the Presence. 
¶ And The Creator spake unto Moses, saying: Behold, I AM: YHVH Elohim Shaddai, 
And Elolaum is my name, for I am Aleph Tav without beginning of days or end of years; and is not this endless? 
¶ And behold, thou art my son; wherefore, look; and I will show thee the workmanship of mine hands, 
But not all; for my works are without end, and also my words, for they never cease; 
Wherefore, no one can behold all my works except they behold all my Glory, yea which is to behold my crown; 
And no man nor woman can behold all my glory, or my crown and afterwards remain in the flesh on the earth. 
¶ And I have a work for thee, Moses, my son; and thou art in the similitude of the Yachad Yachid Echad; 
And the Yachad is the Messiah of the world forever and ever, full of Grace and truth; 
But there is no creator beside me; and all things are present with me, for I know them all. 
¶ And now, behold, this one thing I show unto thee, Moses, my son; for thou art in the world, and now I show it unto thee. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses looked and beheld the world upon which he was created. 
And as Moses beheld the world, and the ends thereof, and all the children of man, which are and which were created, of the same he greatly marveled and wondered. 
And The Presence of Elohim withdrew from Moses, that His Glory was not upon Moses, and Moses was left unto himself; 
And as Moses was left unto himself, he fell unto the earth. 
¶ And it came to pass that it was for the space of many hours before Moses did again receive his natural strength like unto man; 
And Moses said unto himself: Now, for this cause I know that man is nothing, which thing I never had supposed; 
But now mine eyes have beheld The Creator, but not my natural but my spiritual eyes; for my natural eyes could not have beheld, for I should have withered and died in His presence; 
But His Glory was upon me, and I beheld The Presence, for I was transfigured before The Creator. 
¶ And now it came to pass that as Moses had said these words, behold, the Adversary came tempting him, saying: Moses, son of man, worship me. 
And it came to pass that Moses looked upon the Adversary and said: Who art thou? 
For behold, I am a son of Elohim in the similitude of the Yachad; and where is thy glory, that I should worship thee? 
For behold, I could not look upon The Creator except The Presence should come upon me, and I were transfigured before Him. 
But I can look upon thee in the natural man; is it not so surely? 
Blessed be the name of my Creator, for The Glory of Elohim hath not altogether withdrawn from me; or else, where is thy glory? 
For it is darkness unto me, and I can judge between the Accuser and Elohim. 
For The Creator said unto me: I have a work for thee; and also: There is no creator beside me. 
Get thee hence, Accuser; deceive me not; 
For The Creator said unto me: Thou art after the similitude of the Yachad Yachid Echad. 
And He also gave unto me teshuvah when He called unto me out of the burning bush, saying: Call upon Elohim in the name of the Yachad, and worship The Creator. 
¶ And again, Moses said: I will not cease to call upon The Creator. 
I have other things to inquire of Him; for The Glory of Elohim has been upon me, and it is glory unto me; wherefore, I can judge between The Creator and thee. 
Depart hence, thou Satan, thou Adversary, thou Accuser! 
¶ And now, when Moses had said these words, the Adversary cried with a loud voice, and went upon the earth, and commanded, saying: I am Yachad Yachid Echad, worship me! 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses began to fear exceedingly; and as he began to fear, he saw the bitterness of Sheol; 
Nevertheless, calling upon The Creator, Moses received strength. 
And Moses commanded, saying: Depart hence, Satan; for this one, Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh, only will I worship, which is given me by Ruach HaKodesh. 
¶ And now, the Adversary began to tremble, and the earth shook. 
And Moses received strength and called upon the Creator in the name of the Yachad, saying to the Adversary: Depart hence in the name of Yachad Yachid Echad! 
¶ And it came to pass that this Satan cried with a loud voice, with weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth, and departed hence, yea, from the presence of Moses, that he beheld him not. 
¶ And it came to pass that when the Adversary departed from the presence of Moses, that Moses lifted up his eyes unto heaven, being filled by The Glory of Elohim, which beareth record of Avinu and of Yachad; 
And calling upon the name of the Creator, he beheld again The Presence; for it rested upon him, 
And he heard The Voice, saying: Blessed art thou, Moses, for I, Elohim Shaddai have chosen thee; 
And thou shalt be made stronger than many waters; for they shall obey thy decree even as if thou wert the Creator. 
¶ And lo, I am with thee, even unto the end of thy days; for thou shalt deliver my people from bondage, even Israel, my chosen peoples.

Chapter 2

The Creation

And it came to pass, as the Voice of Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh was still speaking, Moses cast his eyes and beheld the earth, yea, even all of the face of it; 
And there was not a part of it which he did not behold, discerning it by the Breath. 
Yea, and he beheld also the inhabitants thereof, and there was not a soul which he beheld not; 
And he discerned them by The Glory of Elohim; and their numbers were great, even as numberless as the sand upon the seashore; 
And he beheld many lands, and each land was called earth; and there were inhabitants on the face thereof. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses called upon The Creator, saying: Tell me, I pray thee, why these things are so and by what thou madest them. 
And behold, The Glory of Elohim was upon Moses, so that Moses stood in The Presence of Elohim, and he talked with The Creator face to face. 
¶ And YHVH Elohim said unto Moses: For mine own purpose have I made these things; 
Here is Wisdom, and it remaineth in me; 
And by the Word of my power have I created them, which is the Yachad Yachid Echad, who is full of grace and truth. 
And worlds without number have I created, and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Yachad I created them; 
And the first all humans have I called Adam, which is to say mankind; 
But only an account of this earth and the inhabitants thereof give I unto you; 
For behold, there are many worlds which have passed away by the Word of My Power; and there are many also which now stand, and numberless are they unto mankind; 
But all things are numbered unto me, for they are mine, and I know them. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses spake unto The Creator, saying: Be merciful unto thy servant, O Creator, and tell me concerning this earth, and the inhabitants thereof, and also the heavens; and then thy servant will be content. 
¶ And YHVH Elohim spoke unto Moses, saying: The heavens, they are many, and innumerable unto man; but they are numbered unto me, for they are mine; 
And as one earth shall pass away, and the heavens thereof, even so shall another come; 
And there is no end to my works, neither to my words: 
For this is my Work and my Glory: to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of mankind. 
¶ And now, Moses, my Tzadik Yachad, I will speak unto you concerning this earth upon which you stand; and you shall write the things which I shall speak. 
And in a day when the children of man shall esteem my words as naught and take many of them from the book which you shall write, behold, I will raise up another like unto you; 
And my Word shall be had again among the children of man, among even as many as shall believe.

Chapter 3

As Above So Below

And it came to pass that Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh spake unto Moses, saying: Behold, I reveal unto you concerning this heaven and this earth; write the words which I speak. 
I am the Aleph Tav, Elohim Shaddai; by the Yachad Yachid Echad I created these things. 
Yea, in knowledge and in wisdom created I the elohim, and Heavens, and the Earth. 
And the Earth, she was empty, and chaos filled her; and I caused darkness to come up upon the face of the endless abyss. 
And Ruach Elohim moved upon The Presence of the Waters, for I am Elohim. 
¶ And I said: Let there be Creation; and thus my work began. 
And I saw the beginning of The Creation, and she was good. 
And I divided the beginning from the end, and Creation from Creator, and light from darkness. 
And I called from a task to completion, or from beginning to an ending, an age or degree; the beginning the day, and the end night. 
And this I did by the Word of my power, yea even the elohim; and it was done as I spake. 
And the darkness of evening was pierced by the light of the morning; and this age was the first degree. 
¶ And again, I said: Let there be a space dedicated in The Presence of the Waters; and it was so, even as I spake. 
And I said: Let it divide the waters above in the heavens from the waters below upon the earth; and it was done. 
And the veil was made, and this divided the waters, yea, the great waters under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so, even as I spake. 
And I called the firmament heaven; and this age was the second degree. 
¶ And I said: Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place; and it was so. 
And I said: Let there be dry land; and it was so. 
And I called the dry land earth; and the gathering together of the waters called I the waters of the sea. 
And I saw that all things which had made were good. 
And I said: Let the earth bring forth vegetation, the herb yielding seed, the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed should be in itself upon the earth; 
And it was so, even as I spake; yea, the earth brought forth vegetation, every herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed should be in itself after his kind. 
And I saw that all things which had made were good; and this age was the third degree. 
¶ And I said: Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; 
And let them be for signs of what is and what shall be, and to mark times of appointments, and for days and for years, 
And let these lights in the firmament of the heavens give light unto the earth; and it was so. 
And I made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night; 
And the greater light was Shamesh or the sun, and the lesser light was Olea or the moon; and Kokabim or the stars also were made, even according to my Word. 
And I set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth; 
And the sun to watch over the day, and the moon to watch over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. 
And I saw that all things which had made were good; and this age was the fourth degree. 
¶ And I said: Let the waters bring forth abundantly, the desires, passions, and appetite that hath life, and fowl which may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heavens. 
And I created the great ones: the monsters of the deep, and all life that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind; and every winged fowl after his kind. 
And I saw that all things which had been created were good; 
And I blessed them, saying: Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the sea, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 
And this age was the fifth degree. 
¶ And I said: Let the earth bring forth the living creatures after their kind; the beasts and creeping things, and all living creatures of the earth after their kind; and it was so. 
And I made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and creeping things after their kind, and all living creatures of the earth after their kind. 
And I saw that all these things were good. 
And I said unto She which was with me from the beginning, for we are one from before the beginning, before the foundation of the world: Let us make mankind in our image, after our likeness; and it was so. 
And I said: Let them take stewardship over the fishes of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and the beasts of the earth, and over all the earth, and all living creatures of the earth. 
And the elohim created mankind in our image and in the image of the Yachad; created we them, male and female, both the male and the female. 
And I blessed them and said unto them: Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and take charge of it; 
And watch over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth in righteousness. 
And I said unto mankind: Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in the which shall be the fruit of a tree with seed; to you these shall be to eat. 
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every creeping thing upon the earth wherein I grant life, there shall be given every clean herb for food; and it was so, even as I spake. 
And I saw everything that I had made; and behold, all things which had made were very good; and this age was the sixth degree. 
¶ Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their struggles; 
And in the seventh age, I ended my labors, and all things which had made: and Shabbat is the seventh age of all of this work; 
And all things of The Creation were brought to pass by The Creator; and I saw that they were good. 
And I blessed the seventh day and consecrated it because that in Sabbath I had given charge of The Creation to Adam; to watch over and finish in my name, that I and my Creation may be one.

Chapter 4

As Below So Above

And now, behold that these are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created in the day that YHVH Elohim made the heavens and the earth, 
And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew; 
For YHVH Elohim created all things of which have been spoken, spiritually, before they were naturally upon The Face of the earth; 
For the LORD Elohim had not caused the Great Waters to rain upon the face of the earth. 
¶ And YHVH Elohim, had created all the children of man and not yet a man to till the ground; 
For in the upper worlds created I them, and there was not yet flesh upon the earth, neither in the water, neither in the air; 
But YHVH Elohim spake, and there went up a mist from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground. 
¶ And YHVH Elohim took people from the dust of the earth and breathed into their nostrils the Breath of Life; 
And mankind became a living soul—the first flesh upon the earth, the first men and women also. 
Nevertheless, all things were before created; and spiritually were they organized and perfected, according to my Word. 
¶ And the YHVH Elohim planted a garden Eastward in Eden; and there YHVH put the people which had been formed. 
And out of the Earth made YHVH Elohim to grow every tree, naturally, that is pleasant to the sight of the humans; 
And mankind could behold it, and it became also a living soul; 
For it was spiritual first in the age that YHVH created it; for it remaineth in the sphere in which Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh, created it: 
Yea, even all things which were prepared for the use of mankind; and the people saw that it was good for food. 
¶ And YHVH Elohim planted the Tree of Life also in the midst of the garden, and also the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. 
And YHVH Elohim caused a river to go out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted and became into four heads. 
And YHVH Elohim called the name of the first Pison, and it compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where YHVH created much gold; 
And the gold of that land was good, and there was bdellium and the onyx stone. 
And the name of the second river was called Gihon, the same that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. 
And the name of the third river was Hiddekel, that which goeth toward the east of Assyria. 
And the fourth river was Euphrates. 
¶ And YHVH Elohim took the humans from out of the world of man and put them into the Garden of Eden, to dress it and to keep it. 
¶ And YHVH Elohim offered unto the people teshuvah, saying: Of every tree of the garden, thou mayest freely eat; 
But of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, thou shalt not eat of it. 
Nevertheless, thou mayest choose for thyself, for it is given unto thee, but remember that I forbid it; 
For in the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. 
¶ And The Creator said unto mine Yachad Yachid Echad, that it was not good that these people should be alone; wherefore, should a help meet be given for them. 
And out of the earth, YHVH brought into the Garden every clean beast of the field and every clean fowl of the air and offered them that they should come unto Adam to see what they would call them. 
And they were also living souls; for YHVH breathed into them the breath of life and offered that whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that should be the name thereof. 
And mankind gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; 
But as for Adam, there was not found a helpmate for them. 
¶ And YHVH Elohim saw that Adam flowed over with sadness, and they slept; 
And YHVH rent the veil and found Ishshah; 
And YHVH brought this one from the hillside, out of the world of humans; and bringing her from the lower to the upper world, closed up the veil. 
And YHVH sealed up the flesh in the stead thereof; which is to say that YHVH Elohim brought forth an equal to be one with them from among the children of man; 
And this one, which YHVH Elohim had taken out from among the children of man, and breathed life; and brought this woman into The Presence of Elohim, and she was given unto them, Adam; and they were given unto her. 
And Adam said: This we know now is bone of our bones and flesh of our flesh; which is to say: That she is like us. 
And Adam said: These shall be called Ishshah, because she too was taken out of world of man; 
Therefore, shall one leave their father and their mother and shall cleave unto the other—and these shall be one flesh. 
And they are both naked in their innocence, and they were not ashamed.

Chapter 5

The Fall

And Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh, spake unto Moses, saying: That Accuser, whom thou hast ordered in the name of mine Yachad Yachid Echad, is the same which was from the beginning; 
And he came before me, saying: Behold I; send me. 
I will be thy Yachad; and I will redeem all of Adam, that one soul shall not be lost; 
And surely I will do it; wherefore, give me thine honor. 
¶ But behold, my Yachad, which was my beloved and chosen from the beginning, said unto me, Avinu: Hineni; thy will be done, and The Glory be thine forever. 
Wherefore, because that Adversary rebelled against me and sought to destroy the agency of Adam, which YHVH Elohim had given them, 
And also that The Creator should give unto him mine own power; by the power of mine Yachad it was caused that he should be cast down; 
And he became Satan, yea, even the devil, the father of all lies, to deceive, and to blind Adam, and to lead them captive at his will, even as many as would not hearken unto my Voice. 
¶ And now, this devil was as a serpent, and more subtle than any beast of the field which YHVH Elohim, had made. 
And after the first had left the Garden, that Adversary put into his heart to beguile Eve; for he had drawn away many after him. 
And Eve he sought also; for he knew not the mind of Elohim; wherefore, he sought to destroy the Creation. 
¶ And the Adversary said unto the Ishshah: Yea, hath Elohim said: Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden, and he spake with the tongue of a serpent. 
¶ And the woman said unto this serpent: We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden; 
But of the fruit of the tree which thou beholdest in the midst of the garden, Elohim hath said: Ye shall not eat of it; neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 
¶ And the serpent said unto the woman: Ye shall not surely die; 
For Elohim doth know that in the day thou eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as the elohim, knowing good and evil. 
¶ And when the woman saw that the Tree was good for food, and that it became pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make her wise, 
She took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they had been naked; 
And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons. 
¶ And they heard the Voice of YHVH Elohim as they were walking in the garden in the cool of the day. 
And Adam and his wife went to hide themselves from the presence of YHVH Elohim amongst the trees of the garden. 
¶ And YHVH Elohim called unto Adam and said unto them: Where goest thou? 
And they said: I heard thy Voice in the garden and was afraid because we beheld that we were naked; and we hid ourselves. 
¶ And YHVH Elohim said unto Adam: Who told thee that thou wast naked? 
Hast thou eaten of the Tree whereof it was given charge unto thee that thou shouldest not eat; if so, thou shouldest surely die? 
¶ And the man said: The woman whom thou gavest me, and decreed that she should remain with me; she gave me of the fruit of the Tree; and I did eat. 
And YHVH Elohim said unto the woman: What is this thing which thou hast done? 
¶ And the woman said: The serpent, Satan, beguiled me, and I didst eat. 
¶ And YHVH Elohim said unto that Accuser: Because thou hast done this, thou shalt be cursed above all cattle and above every beast of the field; 
Upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life. 
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, between thy seed and her seed; 
And they shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 
¶ Unto the woman YHVH Elohim said: I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; 
In sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy longing shall be to thy husband, and he shall care and provide for thee. 
¶ And unto Adam YHVH Elohim said: Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife and hast eaten of the fruit of the tree of which I offered thee in teshuvah, saying: Thou shalt not eat of it, cursed shall be the ground for thy sake; 
In toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life. 
Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 
By the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread until thou shalt return unto the ground, for thou shalt surely die; 
For out of the earth wast thou taken; for dust thou wast, and unto dust shalt thou return. 
¶ And Adam called the name of his wife Eve, for she was the mother of all living; 
For thus has YHVH Elohim, called the first of all women, which are many. 
Unto Adam and also unto his wife did YHVH Elohim make coats of skins and clothed them. 
¶ And the The Creator said unto Yachad: Behold, mankind has become as one of us, to know good and evil; 
And now, lest they put forth their hand and partake also of the Tree of Life, and eat, and live forever, let us send them forth from the Garden of Eden to till the ground in the lands from whence they were taken. 
For as YHVH Elohim liveth, even so these words cannot return void, for as they go forth out, they must be fulfilled; 
And so the people were thus driven out of The Presence of Elohim; 
And YHVH placed at The Presence of the East of the garden of Eden, cherubim and a sword of flame, which turned every way to guard the pathway towards the Tree of Life.

Chapter 6

The Redemption

And it came to pass that after YHVH Elohim had driven them out, that mankind began to till the earth, and to take charge over all the beasts of the field; 
And to eat their bread by the sweat of their brow, as YHVH had decreed; for Eve also, the wife, did labor with them. 
¶ And Adam knew his wife, and she bare unto him sons and daughters. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH Elohim called unto the man, Adam; and Adam answered, saying: Hineni; 
And Adam and Eve did hearken unto the Voice of Yah and called upon their sons and daughters to walk in teshuvah. 
And thus all things were confirmed unto Adam and Eve by an holy ordinance, and the proclamation of Shalom was preached; 
And a decree sent forth, that the Good News should be in the world until the end thereof. 
And mankind hearkened unto the Voice of Yah and called upon their sons and daughters to walk in teshuvah. 
And the Proclamation of Shalom began to be preached from the beginning, being declared by holy angels sent forth from the Presence of Elohim, and by The Voice of Yah, and by The Gift of Ruach HaKodesh. 
And these began to share the Proclamation of Shalom, and thus did they multiply and replenish the earth. 
And from that time forth, the sons and daughters of Adam began to divide, two and two, in the land, and to till the land, and to tend flocks; and they also begat sons and daughters. 
¶ And Adam called upon the name of YHVH, and Eve also, his wife; 
And they heard the Voice of YHVH from the way towards the garden of Eden, speaking unto them; 
And they saw Him not, for they were shut out from The Presence of Elohim. 
And YHVH gave unto them teshuvah, that they should worship YHVH, their Elohim, and should gift the firstlings of their flocks for an offering unto YHVH. 
And they, Adam, were obedient unto YHVH in teshuvah. 
¶ And after many days, the angel of YHVH appeared unto this man, Adam, saying: Why dost thou gift this, thy offering, unto YHVH? 
And Adam said unto him: I know not, save YHVH spake it unto me. 
And then spake the angel saying: This thing is a similitude of the sacrifice of the Yachad Yachid Echad of Avinu, which is full of Grace and truth; 
Wherefore, thou shalt do all that thou doest in the name of YHVH. 
And thou shalt walk in teshuvah and call upon Elohim in the name of the Yachad forevermore. 
¶ And in that day, the Spirit of YHVH fell upon the man Adam, which beareth record of Elohim Avinu, Shekinah, and Yachad, saying: I AM, the Yachad Yachid Echad of Elohim, from the beginning, henceforth and forever; Aleph Tav; 
Even as thou hast fallen, thou mayest be redeemed, and all mankind —even as many as will receive. 
¶ And in that day, Adam blessed YHVH in The Presence of Elohim, and was filled even by the Spirit of YHVH, 
And the man Adam began to prophesy concerning all the families of the earth, saying: Blessed be the name of YHVH; for because of my transgression, mine eyes are opened; 
And in this life I shall have joy, and again, in the flesh I shall see my Creator. 
¶ And Eve, his wife, heard all these things and was glad, saying: Were it not for our trespass, we never should have had seed and never should have known good and evil, and the joy of our teshuvah, and the eternal life which YHVH giveth unto all the obedient. 
And Adam and Eve blessed the name of YHVH; and they made all things known unto their sons and their daughters. 
¶ And that Accuser came among their sons and daughters, saying: I am also a Yachad Yachid Echad; 
And it came to pass that that Adversary commanded them, saying: Believe it not. 
And they believed it not; and they loved Satan more than their Creator. 
¶ And mankind, having seen the light and comprehending it not began from that time forth to be carnal, sensual, and devilish; 
For these had known of Elohim yet sought out the desires of their flesh. 
¶ And YHVH Elohim, called upon Adam, which is to say mankind, everywhere by Ruach HaKodesh, and offered unto them teshuvah; in tikkun ha-olam; 
And as many as believed in Yachad and repented of their sins should be saved; 
And as many as believed not and walked not in teshuvah should be damned. 
And the Word went forth out of the Mouth of Elohim in a firm decree; wherefore, they must be fulfilled. 
And the man, Adam, ceased not to call upon Yah; and Eve also, his wife.

Chapter 7

The Oath

And Adam was intimate with Eve, his wife; and she conceived and bare Cain, which is to say: acquired in pain; 
And the woman said: I have gotten a man from YHVH; wherefore, he may not reject the words of YHVH. 
But, behold; Cain hearkened not, saying: Who is YHVH, that I should know him? 
¶ And she again conceived and bare his brother Abel, which is to say: my breath; and Abel hearkened unto The Voice of YHVH. 
¶ And Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain was a tiller of the ground. 
And Cain loved the Accuser more than YHVH. 
And by the voice of Lilith, the Adversary commanded Cain, saying: Make an offering unto YHVH. 
¶ And it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto YHVH. 
And Abel, he brought the best from among the firstlings of his flock, and YHVH had respect unto Abel and to his offering; 
But unto Cain and to his offering YHVH turned His gaze away, for this sacrifice was unto the man, and not unto YHVH. 
¶ Now the Adversary knew this, and it pleased him, for he desired another in the flesh to pollute the seed; 
And Cain was very wroth, and he became defiant, having failed. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH said unto Cain: Why art thou wroth? Why is thy face black, and thy soul sleepeth? 
If thou doest that which is pleasing, thou shalt be exalted; and if thou doest refuseth, sin lieth at the door. 
Seek not to fulfill thy own desires, but take possession of thyself, or that Accuser shall have thee; 
And except thou shalt hearken unto the Word of my teshuvah, I will deliver thee up; and know thou that this shall be unto thee according to thy desire: 
For behold, thou art the ruler over him; and from this time forth, thou shalt be the father of his lies; 
And thou shalt be called Perdition, for thou wast also before the world; 
And it shall be said in time to come that these abominations were had from Cain, for thou hast rejected the greater counsel which was had from Elohim: 
And this is the curse which shall be upon thee, except thou enter into teshuvah. 
And Cain was wroth and listened not any more to The Voice of YHVH, neither to Abel his brother, who walked in holiness before YHVH; 
And Adam also and his wife mourned before YHVH because of Cain and his brethren. 
¶ And it came to pass that Cain took the daughter of one of his brothers to wife, and they both loved the Accuser more than YHVH; 
Yet Cain desired the wife of Abel, his twin; and thus knowing that YHVH should not give her unto him, for YHVH Elohim shall not divide that which is sealed to give unto another, 
Thus Cain, desiring to make a way, sought counsel from that serpent that has deceived so many. 
And that Adversary said unto Cain: Swear unto me by thy throat; and if thou tell it, thou shalt die; 
And swear thy brethren by their heads and by Elohim Chaiyim, that they tell it not; for if they tell it, they shall surely die: 
And this that thy father may not know it; and this day I will deliver thy brother Abel into thine hands. 
And the Accuser swore unto Cain that he would do according to his commands: 
And all these things were done in secret. 
¶ And Cain said: Truly I am Mahan, the master of this great secret, that I may murder and get gain; 
Wherefore, Cain was called Master Mahan; and he gloried in his wickedness. 
¶ And it came to pass that Cain went into the field, and Cain talked with Abel, his brother; 
And it came to pass that while they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and slew him. 
And Cain gloried in that which he had done, saying: I am free; surely all that belongeth to my brother shall fall into my hands. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH came unto Cain, and said: Where is Abel, thy brother? 
And Cain said: I know not; am I my brother's keeper? 
And YHVH said: What hast thou made this day? Listen! For the voice of the blood of thy brother calls out unto me from the ground; 
And now, thou hast brought the very curse that I had spoken unto thee before upon thine own head; 
For the earth hath opened her mouth to receive the blood of thy brother from thy hand: 
And now, when thou tillest the soil it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a vagabond and a fugitive shalt thou be upon the earth. 
And Cain said: That Accuser, he tempted me because of the flocks of my brother; and I was wroth also, for his offering thou didst accept, and not mine; 
And now my guilt is greater than I can carry! 
Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from The Presence of Elohim, and Thy Face shall be as a secret kept from me; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; 
And it shall come to pass that he that findeth me will murder me; and this because of mine iniquities; for I have murdered, and these things are not hid from YHVH. 
¶ And YHVH said unto him: No! For whosoever shall slay thee have also done murder, just as you; vengeance shall be taken on them sevenfold; 
And this because the sheading of the blood of man only leads to the sheading of more blood. 
And YHVH gave charge unto Cain a sign, lest any finding him should smite this one. 
¶ And Cain was shut out from The Presence of Elohim with his wife and many of their kin; 
And these dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east side, even the Face of Eden.

Chapter 8

Secret Combinations

And Cain was intimate with his wife, and she conceived and bare Chanoch; and he also begat many sons and daughters. 
¶ And it came to pass that Cain built an encampment with a tower to watch over the land in the which they wandered, where they could plant seed and grow crops; 
And the people came and went as they pleased, taking unto themselves that which they desired; 
And Cain called the name of the place after the name of his son, Chanoch. 
¶ And unto Chanoch was born Irad and other sons and daughters; and Irad begat Mechuyael and other sons and daughters. 
And Mechuyael begat Methusael and other sons and daughters; and Methusael begat Lemech. 
¶ And Lemech took unto himself two wives: the name of one being Adah, and the name of the other, Tzillah; 
For behold, Lemech made that same oath with the Adversary that his forefather, Cain, had taken; 
And having sealed the oath in blood, the Adversary came to him, venturing him to take unto himself another wife, as a possession to satisfy his own lusts. 
¶ And Adah bore Yabal; he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and they were keepers of cattle; 
And his name of his brother was Yubal, who was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ. 
And Tzillah, she also bore a son, Tubal Qayin, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron; and the sister of Tubal Qayin was called Na'amah. 
¶ And it came to pass that Lemech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah: Hear my voice, ye wives of Lemech; hear the words of my mouth; 
For I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt; 
And again he boasted: Yea, and if Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lemech shall be seventy and sevenfold! 
For Lemech, had entered into the oath with that Adversary after the manner of Cain; 
Wherein he became Master Mahan: master of that secret combination administered unto Cain by that Accuser, 
¶ And Irad, the son of Chanoch, having known their secret, began to reveal it unto the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve; 
Wherefore, Lemech, being angry, slew him—not like unto Cain his brother Abel for the sake of getting gain; but he slew him for the sake of the oath; 
For, from the days of Cain, there was a secret combination; and their works were in the dark, and they knew every man his brother; 
Wherefore, YHVH cursed Lemech and his house and all they that had covenanted with the Accuser; for they kept not the teshuvah of Elohim. 
¶ And it displeased YHVH, and He ministered not unto them; 
And their works were abominations and began to spread among all the children of man; and it was among the sons of man, and among the daughters of man. 
And these things were spoken because that Lemech had spoken the secret unto his wives, and they rebelled against him, and declared these things abroad, and had not compassion. 
Wherefore, Lemech was despised, and cast out, and came not among the sons of men, lest he should die; 
And thus did the works of darkness began to prevail among all the sons of men. 
¶ And YHVH cursed the earth with a sore curse and was angry with the wicked, with all the sons of men whom he had made; 
For they would not hearken unto The Voice nor believe on Yachad Yachid Echad; 
Even Him whom it was declared should come in the meridian of time, He who was prepared from before the foundation of the world.

Chapter 9

Passing Down

And it came to pass that the man, Adam, knew his wife again, and she bare a son; and they called his name Seth. 
And Adam glorified the name of YHVH, for they said: Elohim hath appointed us another seed instead of Abel whom Cain slew. 
¶ And Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh revealed Himself unto Seth; and Seth rebelled not, but gave an acceptable offering as had his brother Abel; 
And unto him also was born a son, and he called his name Enos. 
And then began mankind to call upon the name of the YHVH, once more; and YHVH blessed them. 
And a book of remembrance was kept in the which was recorded in the language of mankind, for it was given unto as many as called upon Elohim to write by Ruach HaKodesh in the spirit of inspiration; 
And by them, their children were taught to read and write, having a language to converse with YHVH which was pure and undefiled. 
¶ And a genealogy was kept of the children of Elohim; 
And from the book of the generations of Adam, we read: In the day that The Creator organized Adam Kadmon, and in the likeness of Yah were they made, 
Yea, in the image of the Yod and the Hai’s own bodies, male and female, The Creator organized them: 
And Elohim blessed them, and called their name Adam in the day when they were created; 
And these became living souls in the land, upon the footstool of YHVH. 
¶ And Adam and Eve ascended together on their path back to Elohim one hundred thirty degrees as they grew in Grace; 
And at this time, they, Adam and Eve, begat a son in their own likeness, after their own image, and called his name Seth. 
And the days of this man, Adam and Eve, after they had begotten Seth, they ascended to the eight hundredth degree. 
Now this man, Adam and Eve, spake by the spirit of prophecy as they were moved upon by the Spirit of YHVH; 
And they, Adam and Eve, begat many sons and daughters; which is to say that many men and women became sons and daughters of YHVH in their generation. 
And in all the days that Adam and Eve lived, they ascended to nine hundred and thirty degrees before they gave up the ghost. 
¶ Seth and Azurah, his wife, ascended towards heaven one hundred and five degrees, and these begat Enos, and Seth prophesied in all his days; 
And they taught their son, Enos in the ways of Elohim, wherefore, Enos also prophesied; 
And Seth continued in teshuvah after he begat Enos, ascending to the eight hundred and seventh degrees, and they begat many sons and daughters. 
¶ And the children of man were still numerous upon all the face of the land. 
And in those days the Adversary had great dominion among the children of man and raged in their hearts; and from thenceforth came many wars and bloodshed. 
And the hand of a man was against his own brother in administering death because of secret works, seeking for power; 
And it came to pass that in that day, YHVH caused the rivers to overflow and overwhelm mankind; 
And a third of the people were consumed by the waters and the famine that followed. 
¶ And the man Seth and the woman Azurah together ascended towards heaven in teshuvah nine hundred and twelve degrees; and it came ot pass that Seth died. 
And Enos his wife Naom lead the residue of the children of Elohim out from the land which was called Shulon, and there they dwelt in a land of promise; 
And they ascended to the ninetieth degree in teshuvah when Enos was intimate with his wife, Naom, and these bore Cainan; 
And when the children of Elohim arrived at the land of promise they, Enos and Naom, called the land Cainan after their own son. 
And Enos and his wife Naom ascended together in teshuvah eight hundred and fifteen degrees, and they begat many sons and daughters; 
And together Enos and Naom ascended in teshuvah to nine hundred and five degrees before she died. 
¶ And it came to pass that Cainan married Melkah and together ascended in teshuvah to seventy degrees; 
And Cainan and Melkah watched over the children of Elohim with much wisdom, even to have power over spirits and demons; 
And they wrote these secrets on tablets of wood and stone to preserve them. 
¶ And Cainan knew his wife and she begat Mahalelel and other sons and daughters. 
And Cainan and Melkah lived after they begat Mahalelel, and together they did ascend in teshuvah eight hundred and forty degrees; and these begat sons and daughters of Elohim. 
And Melkah died, and Cainan continued to ascend unto heaven in teshuvah nine hundred and ten degrees; and he died. 
And Mahalelel married Dinah, and together they ascended towards heaven in teshuvah to the sixty-fifth degree; and he was intimate with his wife and they begat a son, Jared. 
And Mahalelel ascended further after he and Dinah begat Jared, rose in teshuvah eight hundred and thirty degrees, and they begat sons and daughters. 
And Dinah grew in teshuvah eight hundred and ninety-five degrees before they died. 
¶ And Jared married Barakah and together they ascended to one hundred and sixty-two degrees before they begat Enoch. 
And Jared and Barakah together ascended after they begat Enoch to eight hundred degrees; and they begat sons and daughters; 
And Jared and his wife, Barakah, taught Enoch in all the ways of Elohim, and YHVH Elohim came to him and ordained him Tzadik Yachad. 
And it came to pass that all the degrees of teshuvah that Jared and Barakah found were nine hundred and sixty-two; and they died. 
And Enoch married a third time and took for a wife Yydnah, and together these ascended sixty-five degrees; 
And Enoch was intimate with his wife, and they begat Methuselah, who was the grandfather of Noah. 
And all the degrees of Enoch and his wives, Ydris and Yydnah, in teshuvah were four hundred and thirty; and they were taken, and so too was Zion; for these walked with Elohim. 
And it came to pass that Methuselah, this son of Enoch and Yydnah, and his wife, Adnah, were not taken, that the covenants of YHVH might be fulfilled which had been made to Enoch; 
For YHVH truly covenanted with Enoch that the man Noah should be of the fruit of his loins. 
¶ And it came to pass that Methuselah and Adnah ascended together one hundred and eighty-seven degrees in teshuvah. 
And Methuselah was intimate with Adnah, his wife, and they together begat Lamech; 
And Methuselah ascended with Adnah after they begat Lamech, seven hundred and eighty-two degrees. 
And these begat sons and daughters; and thus the people of Elohim were still upon the earth all the days of Methuselah; 
And they ascended nine hundred and sixty-nine degrees; and he died. 
And Lamech and his wife, Ashmuah, ascended to the one hundred and eighty-two degree in teshuvah. 
And Lamech and Ashmuah begat a son, and they called his name Noah, saying: This son shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands because of the ground which YHVH hath cursed. 
And Lamech and Ashmuah ascended after they begat Noah, five hundred and ninety-five degrees, and they begat no other sons or daughters. 
And all the degrees of Lamech and Ashmuah were seven hundred and seventy-seven; and they died. 
And Noah and Na’amah ascended to the four hundred and fiftieth degree and begat Japheth and Shem and Ham and their daughters. 
And Noah and his wife and their sons hearkened unto YHVH and gave heed; and they were called the children of Elohim. 
¶ And this is the record of the sons of Adam; from the man Adam and Eve , who was the son of YHVH Elohim, unto Noah and Na’amah who brought mankind out of the flood, as recoded in the book of remembrance. 
And all these were preachers of righteousness, and spoke, and prophesied, and called upon all mankind everywhere to enter into teshuvah. 
And faith was taught unto the children of many, and all those that received became the sons and daughters of Elohim, yeah even from the Garden to Zion, and after Zion had fled until the flood.

Chapter 10

The Warning

And it came to pass that Methuselah prophesied that from his loins should spring all the kingdoms of the earth, yet he took this glory unto himself; 
And there came forth a great famine into the land, for YHVH cursed the earth with a sore curse, and many of the inhabitants thereof died. 
And when the children of Elohim began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born unto them, the sons of man saw that these daughters were fair; and they took them wives even as they chose. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH said unto Methuselah: Thy daughter and the daughters of thy sons have sold themselves; 
And behold, mine anger is kindled against the children of mankind, for they will not hearken to my Voice. 
¶ And it came to pass that Methuselah, and Lamech, and Noah went forth prophesying and taught the things of Elohim, even as it was in the beginning. 
¶ And YHVH said unto Noah: My Spirit shall not always strive with mankind, for these shall know that all flesh must die, 
And I will give unto mankind my teshuvah, and in this they might ascend to the one hundred and twentieth degree; 
And if mankind doth accept this teshuvah, I shall wash them clean in the waters of my mercy one degree at a time, but they shall be clean from the first degree; 
But if these do not accept my teshuvah, I will send my waters as the floods upon them. 
¶ And in those days there were nephilim on the earth, and they sought Noah to take away his life; 
But YHVH was with Noah, and the power of YHVH was upon him; 
And YHVH ordained Noah Tzadik Yachad after his own order and commanded him that he should go forth and declare this gospel unto the children of men, even as it was given unto Enoch. 
¶ And it came to pass that Methuselah and Lamech grew old, and thus Noah called unto the children of man preaching unto them teshuvah, but they hearkened not unto his words; 
And also, after that they had heard him, they came up before him, saying: Behold, we are the sons of Elohim; 
Look upon us and see, for have we not taken unto ourselves the daughters of men, marrying into this covenant? 
Look upon us and see, are we not alive in the flesh: eating, and drinking, and marrying, and given in marriage, living upon the very Breath of the Creator? 
And look, see that our wives bear unto us children; and the same are mighty men, which are like unto them of old, men of great renown! 
And they hearkened not unto the words of Noah, calling him the fool and using the vain things of this world to show as a signs one to another that he was a false prophet; 
And those that had left the Covenant kept not their garments clean but wiped the filth of their hands upon them, even the very daughters of Noah saying: He is touched. 
¶ And Elohim saw that the wickedness of mankind, and that these had become great in the earth; 
And every one of these was lifted up in the imagination of the thoughts of his heart, being only evil continually; 
And they turned the wisdom given them from the prophets which had been given unto them by the very angels of heaven, against one another and against the earth; 
Yea, even to hurt the earth and her creatures; and she moaned in pain as these claimed dominion over all of them as their though it were their birthright. 
¶ And it came to pass that Noah continued his preaching unto the people, saying: Hear me and harken ye, giving heed unto my words: 
Believe, and let go thy sins; ascend in teshuvah, and be washed clean in the name of Yachad Yachid Echad, the Messiah, even as our fathers did; and ye shall receive Ruach HaKodesh, that ye may have all things made manifest; 
And if ye shall do it not, the floods shall come in upon you! 
Nevertheless, they hearkened not unto his words, but laughed one with another, making merry and making jest, strengthening their own resolve in their sins. 
And Noah and his wife, Na’amah, were moved to pity, and their hearts were pierced, and they bowed before YHVH, asking for protection from those that sought their lives, and pouring out the grievings of their hearts. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH came unto Noah and Na’amah saying unto them: I will blot out these humans whom I have created from off the face of the earth; 
Yea, every human being, and every beast of the forests and of the fields, and all the creeping things, yea and even the fowls of the air; 
For I am grieved at what these have become, and that thou hath called upon me for safety, for these have sought thy lives. 
¶ And thus Noah and his family found grace in the eyes of YHVH; for Noah and Na’amah were just, being made perfect in in their generation; 
And Methuselah and Adnah, and Lamech and Ashmuah, and Noah and Na’amah and their sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth and their wives walked with Elohim.

Chapter 11

The Flood

And it came to pass that Lamech, the father of Noah, died, and Ashmuah, his wife, would not be comforted; and not but a few moons after she too died. 
And it soon came to pass that Adnah, the mother of Lamech, went the way of the earth, she having lived to see her grandchildren marry, and Methuselah and Noah and the wife of Noah and children mourned. 
Yeah, and it came to pass in that same year that Methuselah too passed away; 
And thus all the children of Elohim who knew YHVH, died in that year before YHVH poured out that flood upon them save it be Noah and his wife, and their sons and the wives of their sons; 
For YHVH willed them to pass on that they not endure this thing that YHVH Elohim should bring upon the land, as He had so declared to do by the mouths of the prophets and prophetesses; 
For behold, the earth was corrupt before Elohim; and it was filled with maliciousness. 
And Elohim looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the land. 
¶ And it came to pass that Elohim said unto Noah and Na’amah: The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with wrong doing; 
And behold, all living things will I bring to ruin that all living flesh from off the land. 
And therefore I say unto thee: make thee an ark of wood; and nests shalt thou make in the ark, 
And thou shalt cover these nests within and without as thou would a house, yet ye shall seal it up; 
And the length of the ark thou shalt make three hundred cubits, the width of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 
And windows there shall be none, and though shall make a tsohar unto me that ye shall have light in the ark as though it were midday. 
And thou shalt thou make to the ark, and one cubit from above shalt thou finish it; and in the side thereof thou shalt set an opening; 
And within the ark a lower, second, and third chambers shalt thou make. 
¶ And lo, I, even I AM, shall advance upon thee in a flood of water upon the land to destroy all flesh, wherein is the Breath of Life, from under heaven; everything that liveth on the earth shall die. 
But with thee will I establish my covenant, even as I have sworn unto thy father, Enoch, that of thy posterity shall come all nations. 
And thou shalt come into the ark, thou and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy wives of thy sons with thee. 
¶ And of all living thing of all flesh, two of every kind shalt thou bring into the ark to keep alive with thee; they shall be male and female. 
Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind; two of every kind shalt thou take into the ark to keep alive. 
And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten; and thou shalt gather food of every kind unto thee in the ark, and it shall be for food for thee and for the animals: 
Of every beast that thou shalt take for food, thou shalt take to thee by sevens, each and its mate, and of beasts that are not to be eaten by two, each and its mate; 
Of fowls also of the air, by sevens, each and its mate the same, both for food and to keep seed alive upon the face of the earth: 
For it shall be that in seven days will I cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; 
And I shall wipe clean from the face of the earth everything that thou hast done. 
¶ Thus did Noah and his family do, according to all that Elohim gave unto them. 
¶ And YHVH came again unto Noah and Na’amah in their six hundredth degree, saying: Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee only have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 
And Noah and Na’amah and their sons and the wives of their sons did according to all that YHVH commanded them; 
And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and the wives of his sons with them, into the ark expecting the waters of the flood; 
And with them they brought the beasts, and the fowls, and everything that creepeth upon the earth there went in into the ark, male and female, even as Elohim commanded them; 
And they went unto Noah and Na’amah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of life; and YHVH shut them in. 
¶ And it came to pass that after seven days the waters of the flood were upon the earth; 
And all the fountains of the great abyss broke open, and the veil between the earth and the heavens was rent apart, and the waters were upon the lands forty days and forty nights. 
And the children of man assembled together, even the daughter of Noah and Na’amah, and their husbands came with them, and these came unto Noah, to the ark; 
And they called to Noah, saying: Open thy doors for us that we may come in unto thee in the ark and that we shall not die! 
And Noah, with a voice to be heard over the thunders and the rains, answered them, saying: Have thou not all rebelled against YHVH? 
And hath thou not reveled in thy sins, saying: Look upon us and see, are we not alive in the flesh: 
Eating, and drinking, and marrying, and given in marriage, living upon the very Breath of the Creator? 
And thus I say unto thee now that YHVH hath not brought upon you this evil, to destroy and cut you off from the face of the earth, but ye have brought it upon thyselves. 
Is not this the very thing that was prophesied unto thee from years back, that I and my father, and the father of my father sayeth unto thee? 
And thou would not hearken to the Voice of YHVH, and now doth thou desire to live upon this land? 
¶ And these cried out unto Noah, saying: We are ready walk with thee in teshuvah unto YHVH; but open thy doors for us that we may live! 
And Noah answered them, saying: Behold now that thou seeth the trouble of thy souls thou seeketh teshuvah unto YHVH? 
And I ask thee, why did thou not seek teshuvah in the time of thy probation that YHVH Elohim did give unto thee? 
And now thou cometh unto me to preserve thy lives, now also YHVH shall not listen to thee, neither will give thee ear, and thou shall not be granted thy wish. 
¶ And the children of man approached the ark to take unto them efforts to break in, for they could not bear the rain upon them; 
But YHVH had sealed up the ark in His mercy, and thus Noah and his wife, Na’amah, and their sons, and the wives of their sons, these were preserved unto Elohim in Yah.

Chapter 12

Washed Clean

And it came to pass that the flood was forty days upon the land, and the waters increased and bare up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth. 
And the waters prevailed and increased greatly in the land, and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 
¶ And the waters prevailed in abundance upon the land; and all the haughty hills under the whole heavens were covered; 
And Yah could reach down to the ark from the veil that had been rent between the heavens and the earth as the waters prevail. 
And the hillsides were covered, and the valleys were filled up all around about and there in, and all lustful things that moved upon the face of the earth ceased; 
Both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beasts, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, even all mankind. 
All who had lived in that land that YHVH had breathed the breath of life but did reject that life, these they died in their wrath; 
And every that lived that went against the natural order was destroyed which was upon the face of the land: 
Both humans and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the air; and they were destroyed from the earth; 
And Noah and Na’aham and they that were with them in the ark were the remnant, all the rest being blotted out. 
¶ And the waters prevailed on the earth one hundred and fifty degrees; 
And Elohim was mindful Noah and Na’amah and all that were with them in the ark; 
And Elohim kept the oath that had been made between YHVH and Adam upon the earth, and the waters began to subside. 
The fountains also of the great abyss were closed up, and the veil between the heavens and the earth was again sealed, and the downpouring from heaven was withheld; 
And the waters returned from off the lands and were abated, for in the mercy of Yah and of Elohim all had been made clean. 
¶ And it came to pass that the ark rested in the new creation, and in Yah; YHVH nourished her there upon the mountains of Ararat. 
And the waters decreased until Yah, in the unity of Elohim, awoke the hilltops with life once again. 
¶ And it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah and Na’amah prayed unto YHVH to unseal the door of the ark which Ye had made, and it was done even as they asked; 
And Na’amah sent forth a raven as the ambassador to seek and return, which went forth to and fro sharing his wisdom until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 
And then she also sent forth a dove from Noah to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; 
But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and thus she returned unto them into the ark, for the waters had not fully receded from off the face of all the land; 
And Noah put forth his hand, and took her, and so too let her come and go as she pleased to and fro about the ark. 
And they stayed about the ark yet other seven days, and again they sent forth the dove out of the ark; 
And the dove came unto him in the evening, and lo, in her mouth an olive leaf plucked off; 
And thus did Noah and Na’amah know that the waters had abated from off of the earth. 
And they stayed yet other seven days; and upon the seventh day she went forth, that dove, which returned not again unto them anymore. 
¶ And it came to pass that in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried; 
And the waters were dried up from off the earth, and thus in this new creation they did celebrate this as the first day of the first month of the new year; 
And Noah and Na’amah their family did remove the covering from off the ark and looked; and they beheld that the face of the ground was dry.

Chapter 13

A New Creation

And it came to pass that Elohim spake unto Na’amah and Noah saying: Go forth out of the ark, thou and thy sons, and the wives of thy sons that are with thee, 
And lead out with these, every living thing that is with thee of all flesh; 
Even the of fowl of the air, and the cattle, and of everything that creepeth upon the earth, 
That these may breed abundantly in the land and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. 
And Noah and Na’amah went forth, and their sons, and the wives of their with them, 
And so too did every living beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark, even as Elohim spoke it. 
¶ And Noah built an altar unto YHVH, and they took of every healthy beast, and of every healthy fowl that these could spare, and gave them as an offering to YHVH upon the altar; 
And Noah and Na’amah and their sons and the wives of their sons did eat and gave thanks unto YHVH, and rejoiced in there hearts. 
And Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh came unto Noah and Na’amah and spake to these, and blessed them; 
For YHVH had smelled the sweet savor of their offering, and said in their hearts: 
Never again shall I curse the ground because of my children, Adam; nevertheless, the intentions of their hearts is evil from birth. 
And never again shall I smite all living creatures as I have done. 
¶ And Noah and Na’amah answered unto YHVH, saying: We shall call on the name of YHVH, that the ground shall not again be smitten anymore for the sake of mankind; 
And we shall keep the Covenant we have made with YHVH Elohim that while the earth remaineth it shall not be smitten as it has been done this day; 
And at seedtime and harvest, and in the cold and in the heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, may we never cease to remember the Covenant. 
¶ And Elohim blessed Noah and Na’amah, and their sons and the wives of their sons, and said unto them: Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth; 
And upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the waters; into thy hands are these delivered. 
Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for thee; even as the green herb; have I given thee all things; 
But the blood of all flesh, which I have given you for meat, ye shall not eat; yea, and the blood shall be sealed upon the ground, which taketh life thereof, and the blood; 
And surely, blood shall not be shed, except for meat, or to save thy lives; 
And know too that I say unto thee: The blood of every beast will I require at thy hands. 
¶ And whosoever sheddeth human blood, I will seek their blood; for mankind shall not shed the blood of their fellows, for mankind was made in the very image of Elohim; 
And in teshuvah I give unto thee that all mankind are brothers and sisters and shall preserve the life of one another; 
And thou art all one race and one people, for in the image of Yah have I made mankind. 
And now, I say unto thee: Be ye fruitful and multiply; breed abundantly throughout the land and multiply the children of Elohim therein. 
¶ And Elohim spake again unto Noah and Na’amah, and to their sons and the wives of their sons with them, saying: 
And behold, I will confirm my covenant with thee, even that which I made unto thy fathers, Adam and Eve, and Enoch and Aadani, and Ydris and Yydnah, concerning your seed after all those that shall follow after thee; 
And it shall come to pass that every living creature that is with thee, of the fowl and of the cattle, and of the beast of the earth that is with thee, yeah, all that shall go out of the ark, 
These shall not altogether perish; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there anymore be a flood to destroy this land; 
And I shall establish my covenant with thee, even as I made unto they fathers and mothers, concerning the remnants of thy posterity. 
¶ And it came to pass that Elohim made a covenant with Noah and Na’amah, saying: This shall be the token of the eternal covenant I make between me and thee, and for every living creature with thee: 
I will set my archers in the cloud; and she shall be for a token of the eternal covenant between The Creator and the Creation; 
And it shall come to pass that when I bring my archers over the earth, that the these shall be appear in the clouds; 
And these shall stand ready in witness as a reminder unto thee of this, my covenant, which I have made between me and thee, for every living creature of all flesh. 
And the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 
And my archers shall be in the cloud and shall bear the signs and tokens; 
And I will look upon it, that I may remember the Everlasting Covenant which I made unto thy fathers, 
That when mankind should walk in teshuvah, Zion should again come on the earth, the city of Enoch, which I have caught up unto myself. 
¶ And this is mine Everlasting Covenant: that when thy posterity shall embrace the truth and look upward, then shall Zion look downward, and all the heavens shall shake with gladness, and the earth shall tremble with joy; 
And the General Assembly of the Church of the Firstborn shall come down out of heaven, and possess the earth, and shall have place until the end come. 
And this is mine Everlasting Covenant, which I made with thy all they that came before thee, and this Everlasting Covenant shall I make with all thy seed for time and all eternity. 
And the archers shall be in the cloud, and I will establish my covenant unto thee, which I have made between me and thee, for every living creature of all flesh that shall be upon the earth. 
And Elohim said unto Noah and Na’amah: This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and thee, for all flesh that shall be upon the earth.

Chapter 14

The Veil

And the sons of Noah that went forth of the ark were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; 
These were the three sons of Noah, and of them was the charge given to teach the whole earth teshuvah, and to finish the creation. 
¶ And Noah began to till the earth, and he was a husbandman, yea a man of the soil; and he planted a vineyard. 
And Noah and his wife and their sons did build a temple, or a dwelling place for the things of YHVH Elohim, and there in the Holy of Holies and he, Noah, and his wife Na’amah drank of the wine they had made and were in vision, conversing there with YHVH; 
And Noah and Na’amah, his wife were uncovered within this tabernacle, which is to say that they had divested of their outer robes and were in their holy garments as had been handed down by Adam and Eve; 
And Ham didst enter the chamber unannounced and he saw the nakedness of his father and mother, for he knew not these things before YHVH; 
And he told his brethren without; and Shem and Japheth took a cloth, and laid upon both their shoulders, and they went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father and mother; 
Yeah, they placed the veil between they and their father and their mother, that none could see in; 
And they saw not their father nor their mother in their purity. 
¶ And Noah and Na’amah awoke from their visions and knew what their youngest son had done unto them; 
And Noah said: Cursed be the children of Ham; yea and a servant of servants shall these be unto their brethren and to foreigners; 
For a veil of darkness hath covered him, that he has seen the things of YHVH unannounced and with the eyes of man. 
And Noah said: Blessed be YHVH, the God of Shem! and Elohim shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall attend to him. 
¶ And in that very same day, Ham left them with his wife and family to wander the earth, 
And as they left, Ham took with him those garments that Noah his father and Na’amah his mother had worn; 
And these he took, and hid them this secret from his brothers that he might have power over them for he understood not the curse. 
But because they were taken and not given, and thus it was that there was no power in them, for the things of YHVH must be endowed upon His servants, 
And behold, this was the darkness of the curse his father had placed upon him: that he and his children would have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof, until the day that they would return again to YHVH in teshuvah; 
And this because in that day Ham did reject The Presence of Elohim, and because they left their family they did not know, and thus they could no longer teach them or be taught the things of Elohim. 
¶ And Noah lived after the flood, and he and his wife Na’amah lived to reach the nine hundred and fiftieth degree; and they died. 
And the angels wept; and it was said that in the day that Noah was born into the world, his skin was as red as a blooming rose; 
And the hair upon his head was long, and thick, and white as wool; 
And that they that beheld him, his eyes pierced them as the rays of the sun, 
Yea and that when his eyes first opened, he lit up an entire room, and they beheld that very house was very full of the light of Ruach HaKodesh; 
And all present and his birth did open their mouths in praise of YHVH in righteousness. 
And these things and more did they say, for truly Noah and Na’amah were the Tzadik Yachad of that generation.

Chapter 15

The Generations

And these are the genealogies of the sons of Noah and Na’amah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and unto them were sons born after the flood. 
The sons of Japheth were Gomer, and Magog, Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meschech, and Tiras; 
And the sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah; and the sons of Javan were Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim; 
And by these were the coastlands and the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands, each one by the same tongue, or in other words by the language that they spoke, and their culture and influence, and each after their own families , clans and peoples, and each in their own nations. 
And the sons of Ham were Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan; 
And the sons of Cush were Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan. 
And Cush begat Enmer Kar who is Nimrod; and this one began to be a mighty one in the earth, 
And he was even a mighty hunter unto YHVH in the land; wherefore, it is said: Even as Nimrod, the mighty and strong one in the sight of YHVH upon the land. 
¶ And it came to pass that Nimrod began a kingdom, and the beginning of his kingdom was in Babel, and reached unto Erech, and Accad, and Calneh in the land of Shinar. 
Out of that land went forth Asshur and they built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; the same was a great city. 
Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, out of whom came Philistim and Caphtorim. 
And Canaan begat Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and Girgashite, and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, and the Arvadite, and Zemarite, and the Hamathite; 
And after this were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. 
And the borders of the Canaanites were from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar unto Gaza; as thou goest unto Sodom and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboiim even unto Lasha. 
These were the sons of Ham, each one by the same tongue, or in other words by the language that they spoke, and their culture and influence, and each after their own families and clans and peoples, and each in their own nations. 
Unto Shem also, which was the elder, children were born; and he was the father of Eber, and even to him were children born. 
And the children of Shem were Eber, and Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. 
And the children of Aram were Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash: 
And Arphaxad begat Salah, and Salah begat Eber; and unto Eber were born two sons and the name of one was Peleg; the other, Joktan. 
¶ And Peleg was a mighty man, for in his days was the land split and divided up. 
And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, and Ophar, and Havilah, and Jobab; and these were the sons of Joktan. 
And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar, a mount of the east. 
These were the sons of Shem, each one by the same tongue, or in other words by the language that they spoke; and their culture and influence, and each after their own families and clans and peoples, and each in their own nations. 
These were the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations; and by these were the children of Elohim divided on the earth after the flood, each after their own families and clans and peoples, and each in their own nations.

Chapter 16

The Warning and the Seduction

And it came to pass that the people of the lands where the children of Noah and Na’amah dwelt were of the same language and of the same speech in worshiping YHVH Elohim. 
For Noah and Na’amah had endeavored to teach their children the ordinances of YHVH, and the Torah of YHVH that they might know it, they and their children, and the children of their children. 
So to did Noah and Na’amah admonish their children against fornication, uncleanliness, and all iniquity before YHVH, which had brought the flood down upon the land. 
And they did teach them to place even a third of their excess upon the altar of YHVH; that the poor should be fed, and the wants of the needy should be met, and that the widow and the fatherless should not go without; 
And they did warn them of the curse that should fall upon any who should stretch out their hand to take a portion they had not received, or in other words, they did teach their children not to steal. 
And they did warn them against envy, covetousness, and jealousies; for Noah and his wife, Na’amah did fear that their descendants might fall prey to their price to the shedding of human blood. 
And Noah and Na’amah had warned them, even with a strong warning, that though YHVH had made a covenant with them that the land should not receive a flood so great as before even again, that should they stray from the path of that teshuvah that YHVH had offered then, that they should be destroyed. 
And each time, after teaching and instructing their children, Noah and Na’amah would say: For thus did Enoch teach his son, Methuselah, and Methuselah his son Lamech, and Lamech did teach all this unto me as his father had bidden him; and now I do teach you, my children, even as Enoch taught his children. 
And even as Enoch did, in his generation, teach these sayings unto all that were Zion, for these are the commandments that teach us the Torah of YHVH; 
And he did testify it unto his children and his children's children, until the day they were taken unto Elohim. 
¶ And it came to pass that as the children of Noah and Na’aham and the children of their children had gone out into the world to possess their portions, the sa'iyr and the shed did come amongst them; 
And these began to seduce the men and women, and they did torment them with pains, and all manner of suffering even unto death. 
And it came to pass that the children of Elohim did pour their hearts out unto YHVH and He did send forth Raphael, the angel of healing, to help banish the sa'iyr and the shed from out of the lands. 
¶ And it came to pass that the children of man had again grown strong in numbers, and so too then the sa'iyr and the shed through them. 
And Raphael did go forth to heal the sick and did remind the children of Elohim of all the remedies of the plants, that they might resort to these as was needed, 
And they did write these down in a book, that they should have his wisdom forever, and this they did pass down from generation to generation. 
And unto those with the gift to heal, and those with the gift of being healed, to these Raphael did give some of the wood from the branches of the tree of life, and the hope of the sa'iyr and the shed was frustrated. 
And Raphael went his way, by the direction of YHVH; and the children of Elohim and the children of man did go on about their ways, and so the spread of the corruption of mankind did begin again to increase, 
For whilst Noah and Na’amah still lived, they had three sons, one of which was cast from the Presence; and his name was Ham. 
¶ And it came to pass that it became known to Ham that his father had cursed him, and thus he, being ashamed, fled with his wife, Neelatamauk; 
And it came to pass that their family did build a village and did settled there, and he did name it after his wife. 
¶ And it came to pass that Ham begot Crush, who begot Enmer when he was great of age; 
And it came to pass that Crush did give unto his son the very garments with which YHVH Elohim had given unto Adam and Eve upon their leaving the garden. 
And Cush himself was given them of Ham, for Ham had taken them unknownst to Noah and Na’aham and had kept them concealed, 
And these he had passed on to his firstborn son, who had kept them hidden; and when Enmer did reach his twelfth year, his father, Crush, did give them unto him. 
¶ And it came to pass that Enmer was a mighty hunter before YHVH, and he did use hidden knowledge unknown to the sons and daughters of man, but known to the children of Elohim, of which his forefather Noah was. 
And Enmer saw the glory of YHVH was upon the garments that had been given him, and he did seek to be worthy of their purchase. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH Elohim saw that Enmer wished to bless the land, and so it came to pass that YHVH did bless him; 
And he became known as Enmer Kar, for he was a mighty hunter, even one mighty and strong before YHVH. 
And it came to pass that YHVH did give them unto him in a dream, and YHVH Elohim did call him to hunt not for the meat of animals but for the souls of man unto YHVH; 
Yea, and when he awoke, he did pick up his bow, and rent it twain, and did begin to call out as his forefathers had done saying: Pe le-El ! 
And it came to pass that Elohim sent the angel of YHVH before him and by the voice of the angel YHVH did send him out into the land to teach by the Word of the Holy Spirit. 
And Enmer Kar did go forth unto his people as their king and did preach the Word of YHVH unto them, and many of their numbers were converted.

Chapter 17

The Word of Peace

And it came to pass that the descendants of Noah and Na’amah did appoint princes over each of their kingdoms; 
And Enmer Kar was chosen for those of the seed of Ham, and Joktan was chosen for those of the seed of Shem, and Phenech was chosen for those of the seed of Japheth. 
And strangers did come into their lands; and some had been made fellow citizens, and some had been made servants, and some had been made slaves, for the seed of Noah and Na’amah did not all follow the Torah of YHVH. 
And it began to be said across the lands: Behold, the time is coming and yet is nigh when neighbor shall be against neighbor, and brother against brother: for the last days are here; and so one must carry on war against the other! 
¶ And it came to pass that Enmer Kar did call his people together, and unto them he said: Behold, my people, the people of this land given us of YHVH ! 
We who have come to possess the knowledge of the Torah of YHVH, have been entrusted with the inner keys of the sanctuary, from whom those outside our lands have been withheld; 
We who possess the wisdom of both the earth and the heavens have been called to build a house unto YHVH, and with this key we shall open the door. 
I pray that we would continue to fear YHVH, that we should no more fear mankind, and we shall be well content; for our actions have proved we fear YHVH, and He has protected us from all others. 
Therefore, I say unto thee, my people, that we should do no wrong one to another, yet I see that ye first hide your sins, that no human eyes may see; 
Yet we know that YHVH who sees all things everywhere, and everything, from creation to creation, at all times doth see our sins; therefore, why should we hide our sins from our kindred? 
Speak pleasantly then, one to another, and speak kindly to every one of us; in pacifying anger, in seeking peace, and in pursuit with our brethren and sistren, and so too then with all the world: 
And by this means we shall gain favor and good feelings of understanding in the sight of YHVH Elohim and in the sight of all mankind. 
And behold ye, that I wish the travelers and the sojourners to learn from the action I now order ye to perform: 
How abhorrent dishonesty is to mine eyes; for it should be that we may be the peacemakers and spread good feelings in this, our land, for we too come as pilgrims upon the earth, 
And all we possess belongs to YHVH, yet He continues to bless us continually, and to increase the pleasures of our sojourn upon the earth. 
Should we then think, therefore, that to take from a man only to present to YHVH that which is His own be a sin? 
Behold thou, that ye might think this should be allowed; but I would rebuked thee by the teachings of our fathers; for YHVH is just and condemns such and act. 
For did not our forefathers teach us that a curse should fall upon any who should stretch out their hand to take a portion they had not received? 
And if it is not given freely then is this not theft? 
And if it is theft, then it is not of YHVH Elohim, and thus we too should declare that it is not of us. 
But if a man should give willingly, then all should be blessed, for no harm was given, and no harm was taken. 
And so it is that we who are guided by righteousness and justice in all the doings of YHVH may justly do that which we see Him do in His unbounded charity towards His creation; 
Therefore, I say unto thee: Strive not to exalt thy own standing by speaking ill of thy neighbors, go not to thy sleep bearing hate towards thy fellow man, 
But ask YHVH to forgive all they that have done thee harm, for the man that shall seek the sins of his brother shall be judged even so by YHVH; 
Therefore, go thee by thy way and do thy duty, hide not thy sins in thy pride, 
But find teshuvah quickly, and judge not thy brother nor thy sister that we might discover peace here upon our lands in these, the last days.

Chapter 18

The Poor Widow’s Sons

And it came to pass that Enmer Kar did gather his people as one in the name of YHVH, and each were given charge over their duties that they might be one, even as was Zion. 
And unto some was it given to plow the fields, and to plant, and to harvest, and to give fruits and grains to the storehouses; 
And unto others was it given to herd the beasts of the fields, and give milk and meat that the storehouses should be full; 
And unto others was it given to build houses that all might have a place to lay their heads at night, and to build houses for worship, and tabernacles, and other such buildings that the people might gather and have shelter from the storms; 
And to others was it given to make walls, and unto others was it given to make all manner of weapons of war, and these to protect all that they had made and were making; 
And to others was it given to keep the peace and to pass judgement unto those that did break the laws. 
And each went about in their duties, seeking to prepare themselves and their lands for the wars they knew would come, and to protect themselves from the desolations they knew should be in the last days. 
¶ And it came to pass that many foreigners journeyed from the East towards Babel; and as they journeyed from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and dwelt there in the plain of Shinar. 
And it came to pass that these foreigners came into the lands of Babel, and the people of Babel feared that these had come to bring the wars and desolation they knew should come at the last days. 
And it came to pass that many of the strangers were gathered up and thrown into prisons, and these strangers began to suffer, for they knew not that the end was nigh. 
¶ And it came to pass that a certain widow and her sons were among those cast into prison, and these were brought before a certain judge; 
And there the oldest son of the widow was commanded to pay homage to he that sitteth upon the judgement seat and to YHVH, their Elohim. 
But the widow knew not the Elohim of their land, and she said unto her children: Behold this man that desires that we should bow to his image; 
Yet know I not their elohim; and so it should be that we shall not bow but for the fear of our gods. 
And it came to pass that when her oldest son refused to bow, he was immediately led out to stand ready with those set apart for execution, 
And then it was that the same judge brought forth the second son of that same widow, and upon him was made the same request. 
And the second son replied unto the judge: My brother boweth not, neither then shall I bow down before thee. 
And the judge grew angry in the face of his defiance and asked the second son why he should not bow. 
And the second son answered him saying: Because thou hast found us, a widow and her fatherless sons, strangers in this strange land, seeking safety and refuge; yet thou hast offered us not but prison and death; 
Why for shouldest I bow unto thee? But I shall walk unto my death freely. 
And the bravery of his words angered the judge, and this son too was sent off to be put to death. 
And so it was unto the third, and the fourth, and the fifth, and the sixth, and even unto the seventh son. 
¶ And it came to pass that the record keeper did soften his heart towards the widow and her sons; 
And the record keeper came before the judge saying: Behold, these art young, and hast seen but little of the joys of life that we here that are blessed of YHVH have been privy, 
Therefore, should we not save them, and raise them up in the goodness of YHVH that their futures should be that these wouldst make a joyful noise unto YHVH? 
But the judge pitied them not, saying: Let the sons of the poor widow be slain. 
Then spoke the widow saying: O, thou cruel judge! Who art thou that destroys these innocent, young lives? 
And she fell down as if dead and pleaded unto the judge: If thou must take a life away, take thou my life, and put me to death before the lives of my sons. 
And the judge answered unto her saying: Nay, this I canst not do, for the law forbids it, saying; Envy, covetousness, and jealousies are sins that shall lead men to fall prey to their price, even to the shedding of human blood. 
And the widow replied saying: O thou that should quote such a law! 
And who art thou to be so particular to regard which of these, your laws, as thou should see fit; for it is thy own greed and covetousness that shall leave me a lone widow. 
I curse thee, and thy elohim that hath no pity upon the poor and the down trodden. 
And hearing this, the judge remembered the words of the record keeper, saying: Should we save them, and raise them up in the goodness of YHVH? And he sought to hide his sin, 
And the judge ordered the widow be put to death with her sons that she not spread word of his shame, and the king, Enmer Kar knew of it not.

Chapter 19

The Twelve Righteous

And it came to pass that as Enmer Kar, seeing that his forefather, Noah, had survived the floods, desired to save his people from the flood of sin that choked the world even as a great serpent; 
And the people said one to another: Come, let us go forth; yea, let us make brick and burn them thoroughly; and they had brick for stone, and they had tar for mortar. 
And the people did begin to build a temple unto YHVH, that they might make sacrifices in the name of YHVH Elohim. 
And it came to pass that those of his people that were not converted, the children of man, began again to grow in strength and began to call away the children of Elohim; yet they did still continue to build the temple; 
But these were foolish in their thoughts, for they thought that it was the sacrifices of the temple that would save them, for they did not understand it was the chen of YHVH from which salvation cometh. 
And it came to pass that the people of Babel had begun to hide their sins in their pride, and to focus on the feelings of their hearts, and not The Voice, for they did glory in the pride of their hearts; 
And these did believe that it was their works, and their own courage that did bring them that peace and security that they did seek. 
And so it was that the people who would be as Zion did fall away by their pride, and their envy, their covetousness, and by their jealousies even to the shedding of human blood. 
And thus it was that secret combinations did again creep in; for these did not their works in righteousness, but believed only upon their good feelings, and the mighty words of Enmer Kar; 
And so it was that these were deceived from the beginning, even unto the belief that they did dwell in the last days. 
And it came to pass that the people did remember the words of their forefathers, prophesying that Yachad Yachid Echad should come before the last days; 
And the people did believe that the last days were upon them, and thus it came to pass that their star gazers and astrologers went seeking signs. 
And it came to pass that the priests and the wisemen forgot YHVH, worshiping Elohim in name only, 
And so it was that these wise men came unto Enmer Kar telling him that he must be that Yachad Yachid Echad that should come. 
And Enmer Kar began to boast of his own strength, and knowing that he had been in the presence of an angel he did take more than his due. 
¶ And it came to pass that Enmer Kar did begin to say at the first that he was Tzadik Yachad, or in other words, the Yachad of that generation. 
And the people looked to their king as though he were a god, though he was but a man; 
And many were quick to speak, saying: Behold Enmer Kar, the mighty hunter! Behold the Yachad Yachid Echad that has come to redeem his people! 
¶ And it came to pass that these were a people living in peace, for they knew no nation mightier: 
And because they had done their duties, these had become wise in all the wisdom of the earth; and in their wisdom they did become prideful and vain; 
Yet these still lived in fear, for in fear alone did they do their duties, and not for the love of YHVH, nor for the love of their fellow man. 
¶ And it came to pass that the people remembered the words of their king, Enmer Kar, saying: we have been called to build a house unto YHVH and with this key, we shall open the door! 
And so it was that the people came before their king saying: Let us go and build us a temple, even one that should reach unto heavens, and let us make ourselves a great name upon all the earth! 
For these understood not that the temple of YHVH should bring the heavens to the earth, and not the earth to the heavens. 
And the people used their wisdom in architecture and masonry to make bricks, and to plan for and make a temple, but it was not unto YHVH but unto Amarutu who is Mardochaios. 
But there were among the people twelve righteous men, and these refused to join in the building of the temple; 
And these knew the secrets of the temple of YHVH, but they refused to give them unto the priests of Amarutu. 
¶ And it came to pass that these men were seized by the people, and brought before the three judges, who were high priests of Amarutu. 
And it came to pass that the chief judge, whose name was Laadan, said unto these twelve righteous: Why for shall ye not loosen thy tongues that we might build this temple as a tower unto heaven, and the elohim that has blessed us? 
For should it not be that Enmer Kar might return again to his home, and that we, his people should join him in safety there? 
And the twelve did elect from among them one to be their voice, and his name was Tzophar, and through his voice they gave their refusal. 
And Tzophar stood before the judges, saying: We shall not make bricks, nor remain with you, for we know but one YHVH, and Him we do serve. 
And Laaden the judge flew into a passion of anger against the twelve righteous men and would that they be thrown into a fire, yet he desired the secrets of YHVH that he might sell them. 
And it came to pass that he did grant unto them seven days in prison, and at that time he would call them forth to answer him again. 
¶ And it came to pass that these twelve righteous men were thrown in with eleven prisoners who were strangers to the land, and with these did they pray unto YHVH unto deliverance. 
And it came to pass that Tzophar did cry out saying: YHVH, who liveth from eternity to eternity, in whom we trust, we swear an oath unto thee that we shall not depart to walk to the right, nor to the left, save it be according to thy desire; and should we die in this place, then may it be even according to Thy will. 
And the eleven men that had not known YHVH before that day did stand and watch in amazement. 
¶ And it came to pass that after seven days Laadan sent again for the twelve righteous men, and again he asked them to share their wisdom and their knowledge. 
And it came to pass that Tzophar stood again before the judge, this time saying: We shall give thee our counsel. 
And thus was Laadan much pleased, and he sat greedily upon his throne awaiting the words of the twelve righteous. 
And thus it was that Tzophar spoke unto them saying: Exercise brotherly and sisterly love, for all of Adam is one family; give to those that need without judgement, nor to indebt, nor for reward; 
Truth is the name of YHVH, for He is truth; therefore, be true in all things; go forth not rashly, neither flee in cowardice, but stand firm in YHVH; 
Let reason be thy guide in YHVH, listening always for the Breath of Elohim; give not to thy passions, but reign them and guide them that thou be true to thine heart, and not a whim of the flesh; 
Do that which is right before YHVH at all times, and give unto others their due; all things ye have been given are of YHVH Elohim, and unto Him are all things due: 
Know ye these things, forget them not, but write them upon thy heart, and the words written upon thy tongue shall be pure and holy before YHVH. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Laadan heard these words he did grow angry at the twelve righteous men, for he understood not the Word of YHVH. 
And it came to pass that he did cause that they should be put in the fire of the furnace used to bake the bricks; 
Yet when the time came, before these could be placed into the flames, the earth shook with a great earthquake that did shake the very foundation of the lands, and tore asunder the work the people had done in building their temple. 
And it came to pass that The Voice came to the twelve righteous men, and they were told to take their families and flee to the North and to the East, 
And these were not seen neither heard from again; but the eleven prisoners, these did not forget them.

Chapter 20

The Tower

And so it was that as the people went about working on their temple, there was a great earthquake that did destroy that which they had built, even unto the very foundation. 
For Michael had gone before Yah Elohim, saying: Behold, the people is one, and they have all one desire; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 
Let us then go down, and there confound their tongues that they may not understand the speech of one another. 
And YHVH said: Come, we shall descend and bring shame upon their lips, that they shall not listen one to another, and this shall scatter them. 
And YHVH went down, seeing the city and the tower which the children of men were building. 
And YHVH said: Behold, the people are the same, and they all have the same desire and the same tongue; and this is the tower they begin to build; 
And now, nothing will be restrained from them which they have imagined, except I, YHVH, confound their tongues, that they may not understand the desires of one another. 
And thus it shall be that I, YHVH, shall scatter them abroad from upon all the face of this land out unto every quarter of the earth. 
And so it was that YHVH did cause that the earth should quake greatly, and with the tower destroyed their good feelings turned to bitterness and blame. 
¶ And it came to pass that in the confusion many of the wicked scattered, and the prisoners were freed; 
And the few left that were righteous in the land did flee, some to the North, others to the East; but the chief architects, be they of YHVH Elohim or of Mammon, did flee into the land of Egypt. 
And thus did it come to pass that the people of Babel were overtaken by the very strangers they had sought to oppress; yea, rather than accepting these as their own these strangers did become another nation from within. 
And the people of Enmer Kar had themselves become a new nation, even the nation of their pride, that came unto them in great numbers, and behold the secrets of the temple were to be lost unto those of the world. 
And from thence did YHVH Elohim scatter them abroad, upon all the face of the land, and unto every quarter of the earth; 
And they that remained were confounded and left off to rebuild their tower in the ruins of the old; for they hearkened not unto YHVH; 
Wherefore, is the name of it called Babel because YHVH Elohim was displeased with their works and did there confound the tongue of all the land. 
¶ And it came to pass that Enmer Kar did turn his wrath towards YHVH Elohim, for his wife had been about her way laboring at the tower when it fell, and she was slain. 
And so it was that after this Enmer Kar was given a new name, even Nimrod; for he did rebel against YHVH; 
And he went about the people calling himself the giver of life and death, and he who should cause the sun to rise from the east and to set again in the West. 
¶ And it came to pass that Nimrod did take unto himself a new wife from among this new nation, Sammur Amat; and she did become their high priestess and did lead them forth into iniquity. 
And Sammur Amat did follow the path of Lilith to become the harlot of Babylon, for she did lead her people far from their true love, YHVH Elohim: 
And she did go about saying that the last days had come, that great tribulation, and that their works had led them to over come it; 
And the people did believe that Nimrod had done the works of Yachad Yachid Echad, and was a god, and did save them; and thus by their own vanities did they deceive themselves. 
And the people of Babel in the land of Shinar did build again on top of the temple destroyed by YHVH, and Nimrod and Sammur Amat did take peace from the land, demanding tribute and making war against their neighbors. 
And the people cried unto the heavens, but Raphael would not come to heal the land, for these had rejected YHVH Elohim.

Chapter 21

The Greatest of These

These were the generations of Shem: And Shem begat Arphaxad two years after the flood; and Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad to bring forth many sons and daughters. 
And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Arphaxad begat other sons and daughters. 
And Salah begat Eber; and after he begat Eber he begat other sons and daughters. 
And Eber begat Peleg; and after he begat Peleg he begat other sons and daughters. 
And Peleg begat Reu and he begat other sons and daughters. 
And Reu begat Serug; and after he begat Serug he begat many sons and daughters. 
And Serug begat Nahor and other sons and daughters. 
And Nahor begat Terah; and after he begat Terah he begat other sons and daughters. 
And Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran. 
And now these were the generations of Terah: Terah begat Haran, Nahor, and Abram; and Haran begat Lot. 
And Nahor and Abram took them wives; 
And the name of the wife of Nahor was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah; 
And the name of the wife of Abram was Sarai, but Sarai was barren, and she bare no child. 
Now Terah was an idolater and he did make idols with his hands and did sell them as they traveled; 
But Abram remembered YHVH Elohim that did save his forefathers from the flood, and desired to serve YHVH alone. 
¶ And it came to pass that there was a famine in the land, and Haran died before his father, Terah, in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees. 
And it came to pass that Terah did speak unto Abram saying: When thou shall see death come upon me what shall thou worship after I am gone? 
And Abram replied, saying: We shall worship YHVH Elohim, the Elohim of our fathers, for YHVH is our Elohim, and we devote ourselves to Him. 
¶ And it came to pass that Abram would not bow before the elohim that his father made, nor would he bow to the kings of the earth, for he saw these as works of the Creator and unworthy of worship. 
And Terah was angry and said unto Abram: What of these elohim that have blessed us? 
And Abram answered him saying: These elohim have not blessed us, but we have blessed them! For these are thy creation, and the wealth they grant us is not for our labors nor for their love of us. 
Behold, thy idols of wood, that they do burn and protect themselves not; fire may burn these, yet we may subdue the fire; 
And they that thou hast cut from stone, these sink to the bottoms of the waters and can not save themselves; yet we may cut into the earth and change the very course of the waters; therefore are we not greater than thy elohim? 
Yea, and I will not call these YHVH, for the fire and the waters subside them and they are subject to us. 
More worthy of worship is the sun, for with it illuminates the whole of this creation and brings life from its warmth; 
Yet the sun also I shall not worship, nor will I place amongst Ha'Elohim the moon or the stars, for these must hide themselves and at times dim their lights. 
Hear, O my father, I shall seek before thee Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh who created all the Elohim: 
For behold, who else was it but YHVH who made the heavens, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars? 
Who else but YHVH is it that has dried the earth in the midst of the many waters? 
Yea, and who but YHVH is it that has caused me to seek Him out, who but Elohim shall reveal Himself by Himself? 
And it came to pass that Terah began to plot at this time against his son.

Chapter 22

The Offering and the Promise

And it came to pass that in the land of Egypt those that had followed Nimrod but had escaped the tower did rule over the lands. 
And it came to pass that when they in the land of Chaldea did hear Abram speaking highly of YHVH these did fear, and they did cause that he should be taken; 
And these wicked priests of Pharaoh that were about in the land did grab all they that would not bow down before the elohim of Pharaoh. 
And the priests of Pharaoh did cause that he, Abram, should be put to death; 
And these did lay him upon the altar of their elohim, for they did fear that their elohim did destroy the tower, and Terah did not prevent them. 
And there upon the altar The Voice of YHVH came down from the heavens as a stream of fire, calling out: Abram, Abram! 
And Abram said: Here am I! 
And The Voice said: Thou art searching for the Elohim of elohim, the Creator, the understanding of thy heart: behold! I am He. 
And the angel of YHVH did come and take him, calling him by name, saying: Hear O Abram, and behold the strength of YHVH! 
And I have heard thee, and have come down to deliver thee, and to take thee away from the house of thy father, and from all thy kinsfolk, into a strange land which thou knowest not of; 
And this because these have turned their hearts away from me, to worship the elohim of their hands, and the elohim of Pharaoh; 
Therefore, I have come down to visit them, and to destroy these that hath lifted up their hand against thee to take away thy life. 
Behold, I will lead thee by my hand, and I will take thee in, and seal upon thee my name, even as I did thy fathers; and my power shall be over thee, and I shall be with thee; 
Therefore, Abram, get thee out of this land, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house unto a land that I will show thee; 
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing; 
And I will bless them that bless thee and curse them that curse thee; and in thee shall the families of the earth be blessed. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH did teardown the altars of the elohim of that land, utterly destroying them, and He did smite the priests that they died; 
And so it was that there was great mourning in Chaldea, and word was sent unto the court of Pharaoh, and these too did grieve, but they knew not of the hand of YHVH nor of Abram. 
And was so great the faith of Abram that upon that day he did rise to the seventy-fifth degree. 
¶ And it came to pass that Abram and Sarai, his wife, and Lot, the son of Haran, his brother's son, and Advu, the wife of Lot, and went forth from Ur of the Chaldees to go into the land of Canaan; and Terah tarried with them. 
And so it was that they did come unto Haran and they did dwelt there. 
¶ And it came to pass that the famine debated, and that Terah did not find teshuvah, but continue to worship the elohim of his hands; or in other words, the elohim of his own creation. 
¶ And it came to pass that Abram, and Lot, his nephew, did pray unto YHVH, and the angel of YHVH did appear unto them, 
And the angel of YHVH said unto Abram: Arise, and take Lot with thee; for my own purposes do I take thee away out of Haran, 
And I shall make thee my Sharath and my Ro’eh to bear my name in a strange land which I will give unto thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession, when they shall hearken unto my Voice: 
For I am YHVH, thy Elohim; I dwell in the heavens; the earth is my footstool; my name is YHVH, and I know the end from the beginning; therefore, my hand shall be over thee. 
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee above measure, and make thy name great among all nations, 
And thou shalt be a blessing unto thy seed after thee, that by their hands shall my Voice be heard in all nations; 
And through thy name I shall bless them; for as many as receive the news of this message shall be called after thy name, and shall be accounted thy seed, and shall rise up and bless thee, as their father. 
And I shall give thee power to seal on earth unto heaven, and to bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee; 
And in thee and in thy seed I give unto thee a promise: that this right shall continue in thee, and in thy seed after thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed, even with the blessings of eternal life. 
¶ And it came to pass that Abram departed, as YHVH had spoken unto him; and Lot desired to attend him. 
And Abram took Sarai, his wife, and Lot, his brother's son, and Lot’s wife, Advu, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had received in Haran; 
And they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. 
¶ And it came to pass that Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem and the plain of Moreh; and the Canaanites were then in the land. 
And YHVH came unto Abram and said: Unto thy seed will I give this land. 
And there he did build an altar unto YHVH, who had appeared unto him. 
¶ And it came to pass that Abram removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, leaving Bethel on the West; and Hai was on the East; 
And there too he built an altar unto YHVH and called upon the name of YHVH; and Abram journeyed, going on still toward the South.

Chapter 23

The Law and the Sacrifice

And it came to pass that there was a famine in the land; and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine had become most grievous in the land. 
And it came to pass that as Abram journeyed towards Egypt as they came near to enter into that land, YHVH came unto Abram saying: Behold, Sarai, thy wife, is a very fair woman to look upon; 
Therefore, it shall come to pass that when the Egyptians shall see her, they will say: She is his wife; and they will slay thee, that they might have her, yet these shall save her alive; 
Therefore, see that ye do on this wise: Thou shall speak unto her, that she shall say unto the Egyptians that she is thy sister, and thy soul shall live; and this ye shall do for a wise purpose unto me. 
And YHVH Elohim showed unto him the urim and thummim, stretching out His divine hand, and shewed unto Abram many things; yea even many marvels; 
And Abram was shown the sun, the moon, the stars, and their places and their purpose in the heavens; for these do show unto man the stories of the past and are given for signs and seasons; for omens and wonders. 
And the angel of YHVH did say unto the man: the night that thou wast born the stars rained in the sky, and four stars took flight to one another to cause a great light, and this to know that mine servant was born into the world. 
And Abram did look into the urim and thummim and did behold many things that came to pass before the world was, and many things that should come, and he did marvel. 
¶ And it came to pass that Abram told Sarai all that YHVH had shown unto him. 
And after this he said unto her: Behold, now I know thee to be a fair woman to look upon; 
Therefore, it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say: This is his wife; and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive; 
Say then, I pray thee, unto them: I am his sister, that it may be well with me for thy sake, and my soul shall live because of thee; and this I ask for a wise purpose unto YHVH. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Abram and Sarai and their people did come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman, Sarai, that she was very fair. 
And the princes of the court of Pharaoh also saw her and commanded her to be brought before Pharaoh; and Sarai was taken into the house of Pharaoh. 
And Pharaoh did entreat Abram well for her sake; and he was given sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels. 
And he did give Abram a place that he might have the ear of Pharaoh, and Abram did teach many things unto Pharaoh, for YHVH Elohim had instructed him so; 
And Abram did show unto Pharaoh the sky and its secrets, and he did teach Pharaoh of YHVH, and Pharaoh was pleased with what he was shown of Abram. 
¶ And it came to pass that the elohim of that land did send plagues unto Pharaoh and his house from the day that Pharaoh knew Sarai, even great plagues because of Sarai, the wife of Abram and Pharaoh. 
And Pharaoh called Abram to stand before him, saying: What hast thou done unto me in this thing? 
And Abram did confess that which he had done, saying that this was a wise purpose unto YHVH Elohim. 
But Pharaoh feared his own elohim, and not YHVH Elohim, saying: Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? Why sayest thou: She is my sister? 
Yea, and didst thou do this that I might have taken her unto me to wife? And now she has lain with two men, and is taking hold of two men, as if I, Pharaoh, would be her concubine. 
And now the law has been made, but shall not be fulfilled, else our wives shall fall prey to ideas. 
Now therefore, behold, I say unto thee: Take thy wife and go thy way. 
And Pharaoh commanded men concerning him; and they sent Abram away, and Sarai, and all that they had. 
And Abram and Sarai went up out of Egypt taking all that they had, and Lot and his wife with them, unto the South.

Chapter 24

Two Paths

And now it was even as YHVH had promised; for Abram and Sarai were very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. 
And they went on their journey from the south, even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai, unto the place of the altar which he had made there at the first; and there Abram called on the name of YHVH. 
And Lot and Advu, his wife, also went with Abram, and they too had an abundance of flocks, and herds, and tents; 
And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together; for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together. 
And there was strife between the herdsmen of the cattle of Abram and the herdsmen of the cattle of Lot, that they could not dwell together. 
And Abram said unto Lot: Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen; for we are brethren: 
Therefore, separate thyself, I pray thee, from me; if thou go to the left hand, then I will go to the right; if thou go to the right hand, then I will go to the left, for is not the whole land before us? 
And so, let us then call upon YHVH for instructions on wither we should go. 
¶ And it came to pass that they did call upon YHVH, and they did listen to The Voice which said: Abram, send thee my servant Lot into the lands of Sodom and Gomorrah, to offer them teshuvah that they might cease their lustful and violent works unto their destruction. 
And this was said for the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land, and these knew not YHVH. 
And Lot lifted up his eyes and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere before YHVH destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like as the garden of Eden, yea even as the land of Egypt. 
Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan, as he had been told, and Lot and Advu journeyed East; and they did separate themselves the one from the other. 
¶ And it came to pass that Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent toward Sodom that he and his wife might learn of them and teach them of YHVH and His teshuvah. 
But the desires of Sodom were exceedingly wicked before YHVH, and YHVH was angry with them. 
And YHVH said unto Abram after Lot was separated from him: Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, Northward, and South-ward, and Eastward, and Westward; 
And remember the covenant which I will make with thee; for it shall be a new and everlasting covenant; and thou shalt remember the days of Enoch, thy father; 
For all the land which thou seest I give thee and to thy seed forever; and I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, thy seed shall also be numbered. 
Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it, for I will give it unto thee. 
Then Abram removed his tent and came and dwelt in the oaks of Mamre, which was in Hebron, and built there an altar unto YHVH. 
¶ And it came to pass that Abram journeyed from thence toward the South country, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar. 
And Abram said again of Sarai, his wife: She is my sister; and so it was that Abimelech, king of Gerar, sent for and took Sarai. 
And it came to pass that the elohim of Abimelech came to him in a dream by night and said unto him: Behold, thou hast taken a woman which already has many husbands, for she is the wife of Abram, and they have done this before. 
And Abimelech awoke, saying: I shalt return her unto Abram; for if I do it not, and should I die Abram shall sit upon my throne! 
Therefore, Abimelech arose early in the morning, and called his servants, and told them all these things in the secret of their confidence; and the men were sore afraid. 
And Abimelech did call Abram before him the next day and said: Wilt thou slay me to take unto thyself this righteous nation? 
What hast thou done unto us? And in what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? Thou hast done things unto me that ought not to be done. 
What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing? Behold, didst thou not say unto me: She is my sister? And she, even she herself, said: He is my brother! 
And by her beauty and the integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands have I done this thing. 
And Abram said unto him: Yea, I know that thou didst do this in the integrity of thy heart, for I am a prophet; and I shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live; 
For I seek not thy throne that thou should surely die, thou and all that thou hath are thine, all but Sarai which is also mine. 
And we have done this thing because I thought assuredly the fear of Elohim Shaddai was not in this place and they would slay me for the sake of my wife, and this we did also for a wise purpose in YHVH; 
And yet, indeed, she is my sister; the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. 
And it came to pass, when Elohim caused me to wander from the house of my father, that I said unto her: This shall be thy kindness which thou shalt show unto me: At every place whither we shall come, say of me: He is my brother; and this we did for a wise purpose in YHVH. 
And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men servants and women servants, and gave unto Abram, and also gave unto him Sarai, their wife. 
And Abimelech said unto him: Behold, my land lies before thee; dwell wherever it pleaseth thee; but speak not again of these matters that this law be forgotten. 
And unto Sarai he said: Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver; and he shall give unto thee a covering for thy eyes, and it shall be a token unto all that thou mayest not be taken again from Abram, thy husband. 
And this he said in anger, that she be reproved, for he understood not the will of YHVH Elohim. 
¶ And it came to pass that Abram prayed unto Yah; and YHVH healed Abimelech, and his wives, and his maid-servants, and they bare unto him children; 
For until that day YHVH had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech that upon seeing the power of YHVH given Abram he might know the true Elohim, 
But feeling slighted his eyes remained shut tight, peering with his heart only to see that he be not deceived by Abram and Sarai again.

Chapter 25

Taken and Given

And it came to pass, in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Ellasar, and Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of nations, that these kings made war with Bera, king of Sodom, and with Birsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, and Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela; 
All these, even Bera, Birsha, Shinab, Shemeber, and the king of Bela were joined together, united in a secret oath of priestcraft, in the valley of Siddim, which is at the salt sea; 
For twelve years they had served Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year these did rebel against him. 
And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashtoreth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim, and the Horites in their Mount Seir, unto Elparan, which was by the wilderness. 
And they returned and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites and also the Amorites in Hazezontamar. 
¶ And from there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela; 
And these joined battle with them in the valley of Siddim; with Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and with Tidal, king of nations, and Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Ellasar—four kings against five. 
And the valley of Siddim was filled with slime pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled and fell there; but they that remained fled to the hill country, and to the mountains. 
And it came to pass that the four kings did seize all the goods, taking all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food and provisions and went their way. 
And they took Lot, the nephew of Abram, and Advu, Lot’s wife, for they did dwell in Sodom; and they took them and their goods and departed. 
¶ And there came one that had escaped and told Abram, the Hebrew, the man of YHVH; for he dwelt in the land of the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eschol and brother of Aner; and these were bound by a treaty with Abram. 
And when Abram heard that Lot and Advu and their people were taken captive, he armed three hundred and eighteen of his trained men, and all these were born in his own house, and pursued unto Dan. 
And he came unto them by night, and divided himself against them, he and his men, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which was on the left hand of Damascus. 
And he brought back Lot, his brother's son, Advu, Lot’s wife, and all their goods, and the women also, and the people. 
And the king of Sodom also went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which was the dale of the king. 
And Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine; and he did brake the bread and blessed it; and he blessed the wine, he being the High Priest of El Elyon. 
And he gave to Abram, and he blessed him, saying: Abram, thou art blessed, for thou art a man of El Elyon, possessor of heaven and of earth; 
And blessed is the name of El Elyon, which hath delivered thine enemies into thine hand. 
And thus Abram gave unto Melchizedek in tithes from all he had taken, to care for the poor and the needy in and about the land. 
And the king of Sodom said to Abram: Give me the persons and take the goods to thyself. 
But Abram said to the king of Sodom: I have lifted up my hand unto YHVH, the El Elyon, the Creator: the possessor of heaven and earth, 
And I have sworn an oath that I will not take of thee from a thread even to a shoe latchet and that I will not take anything that is thine, lest thou should say: I have made Abram rich, 
Yea, I shall take of thee nothing, save only that which the young men have eaten; but unto the men which went with me, Aner, Eschol, and Mamre; let them take their portion. 
¶ And it came to pass that Melchizedek lifted up his voice and blessed Abram, he being the High Priest and the keeper of the storehouse of Yah, appointed to receive tithes for the poor. 
¶ And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol, the chief captain of his host, spake unto Abram, saying: Ha'Elohim is with thee in all that thou doest! 
Now, therefore, swear unto me here that, by the help of El Elyon, thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son; but that, according to the kindness that I have shown unto thee, thou shalt do unto me and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned. 
And Abram said unto him: I will swear. 
And then Abram reproved Abimelech because of a well of water which the servants of Abimelech had violently taken away. 
And Abimelech said: Thou didst not tell me; and I know not who hath done this thing; neither yet have I heard that it was done until this day. 
And Abram took sheep and oxen and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant. 
And Abram set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves. 
And Abimelech said unto Abram: What wilt thou do with these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves? 
And he said: Seven ewe lambs shalt thou take at my hand, that they may be a witness unto me that I have digged this well. 
And because we shall swear, both of us, wherefore the name of that place will be Bearsheba; 
And thus they made a covenant. 
Then Abimelech and Phicol, the chief captain of his hosts, rose up, and he sent men to plant a grove in Bearsheba, and to call there on the name of YHVH; and then to returned unto their lands. 
And it came to pass that Abram did worship El’olam.

Chapter 26

The Blessings

And it came to pass that Abram took his things, and his people, and departed back towards his own lands. 
And it came to pass that in his journeys the Word of YHVH came unto Abram in a vision, saying: Fear not, Abram; for I shall be thy shield; 
And I will be thy exceedingly great reward, even according to the blessings of my servant, Melchizedek, I will give unto thee. 
And Abram said: YHVH Elohim, what wilt thou give me, seeing I and Sarai, my wife, go childless? 
For Eliezer of Damascus was made to be the heir of my house and all that I possess; and because thou hast given us no seed, one born as a servant in my house is mine heir. 
And behold, the word of YHVH came unto Abram again, saying: This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. 
And YHVH Elohim brought him forth abroad and said: Look now toward the heavens and count the stars, if thou be able to number them; I say unto thee, even so shall thy seed be. 
And Abram believed YHVH, and it was credited to him as righteousness; and he said: YHVH Elohim, how wilt thou give me this land for an everlasting inheritance? 
And YHVH reminded Abram of the visions given him in the urim and thummim, saying: I, YHVH, brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees to give thee this land to inherit it; 
And though thou wast as dead, yet am I not able to give it thee? And if thou shalt die, yet shalt thy seed possess it. 
Take me a heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon. 
¶ And after this vision had left him, Abram took unto him all these, and he cut them, dividing them in the midst, and he laid each piece one against the other; but the birds he did not divide. 
And he did burn them upon the altar, and those that were with him did eat; but when the fowls came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away, and that which was not eaten continued to burn and to smoke. 
¶ And when the sun was going down, it came to pass that a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and lo, a great terror and darkness fell upon him. 
And YHVH spake, and awoke Abram back to the vision, saying: Abram, thou shalt die and go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried at a good old age; 
Know of a surety that after this, thy seed shall be a stranger in a land in which they shall serve the strangers, and they shall be afflicted and serve them four hundred years. 
And know also that this nation whom they shall serve will I judge; and afterwards shall they come out with great substance; but in the fourth generation they shall turn back to come hither again. 
And the vision left him again, and Abram began again to sleep. 
¶ And it came to pass that when the sun went down and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace and a burning lamp remained in the midst of those pieces which Abram had divided. 
And it came to pass that Abram awoke from his sleep and looked forth into that light that shined in the darkness and saw the days of the Son of Man and was glad; and his soul found rest. 
And Abram remembered all that YHVH had shown him in the urim and thummim saying: I have found the Shalom of YHVH, for the day cometh that the Son of Man shall live: 
Yet how can He live if He is not born of a woman that He might die and take up his life again? 
He must first be quickened; and even so, through Him shall I and my seed be quickened, and shall live. 
And in that same day YHVH made an Everlasting Covenant with Abram, saying: Unto thy seed have I given this land: 
From the river of Egypt unto the great river Euphrates, and from the land the Kenites, and the Kenazites, and the Kadmonites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites. 
¶ And it came to pass that in the morning Abram returned home in peace. 
Now Sarai, the wife of Abram, had born them no sons; yet she had with her an Egyptian woman, a princess, even a daughter of Pharaoh, she being given of Pharaoh unto Sarai, who was called Hagar. 
And it came to pass that after hearing all that YHVH had said unto Abram, Sarai said unto her husband: Behold now, YHVH hath closed me up from bearing thee seed; 
I pray thee, go in unto this woman with me from Egypt, and take her also as thy wife, for she is worthy by her birthright; and do this that perhaps we may obtain children by her. 
And Abram hearkened unto the voice of Sarai, his wife; for even so had she hearkened unto him in gaining two husbands whilst they were in Egypt. 
And Sarai, the wife of Abram, took Hagar, the Egyptian woman, and gave her to her husband, Abram, to be his wife, sealing them together in the covenant of YHVH. 
And Abram went in unto Hagar, and she conceived; and when she saw that she had conceived, Hagar began to look upon herself with much pride of heart, and began to despise their wife, Sarai, seeing her as lesser in her eyes; 
For it was that she, Hagar, thought that she should give Abram a son, and that her child should rule when Abram was taken in death. 
And Sarai said unto Abram: I have made a grave mistake; I have given this woman from Egypt into thy bosom, 
And when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes for she now sees herself as above me in her station: YHVH judge between me and thee. 
But Abram said unto Sarai: Behold, this, our wife, is in thy hands; and we have made a covenant between she and us and YHVH; wherefore, we cannot send her away, 
And now she is thy equal in our bond, and no servant to be beneath thee; therefore, fix this thing between she and thee; and I place this firmly in thy hands. 
But Sarai was sorrowed by the words of their husband and she listened not, and she dealt harshly with Hagar; and so great was her affliction that she fled from before the face of Sarai. 
And an angel of YHVH, being named Barlechi, found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur, 
And Barlechi said unto her: Hagar, from hence comest thou, and whither wilt thou go? 
And Hagar answered: I flee from the face of my lady, Sarai. 
And Barlechi said unto her: Return to thy lady and submit thyself unto her hands; for YHVH will multiply thy seed exceedingly, so that it shall not be numbered for multitude: 
Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shall call his name Ishmael because YHVH hath heard thy afflictions; 
And he will be a wild man; and his hand will be against every man, and the hand of every man against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. 
And Hagar asked the name of this angel of YHVH. 
And Barlechi spake unto her, saying: Knowest thou that Ha'Elohim seest thee? 
And she said: I know that thou art sent from El Roi, for YHVH, the Elohim of my husband and all his house, has seen me; 
And I have also here looked and seen; and truly in this place have I seen one who looks after me. 
And there was a well between Kadesh and Bered near where Hagar saw the angel, wherefore, the well was called Bearlahai’roir after this angel of YHVH, for a memorial to the seed of Abram. 
¶ And it came to pass that Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram and Hagar did call their son's name Ishmael, by the words of Barlechi, the angel. 
And Abram had reached the eighty-sixth degree and Sarai the eighty-third when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.

Chapter 27

The Covenant of Circumcision

And it came to pass that YHVH Elohim did bless Abram, and Sarai, and Hagar, and did give unto them riches, and honor, and lands for an ever-lasting possession, according to the covenant which had been made, and according to the blessing wherewith Melchizedek had blessed Abram. 
And when Abram had reached the ninety-ninth degree, and Sarai had reached the ninety-eighth degree, it came to pass that the High Priest, Melchizedek, took Abram and Sarai and did teach them all he knew of YHVH Elohim, that Abram and Sarai might possess hidden wisdom unto YHVH. 
But their wife, Hagar, he did not teach; for she would not cease to worship the elohim of her old land, even the gods of the hands of man. 
And it came to pass that in that day, that YHVH spoke unto Abram and Sarai, saying: I am Elohim Shaddai, and thou shalt come before my Face uprightly and be complete before me; 
And through my servant, Melchizedek, I will make my covenant between me and thee, and I will multiply thee exceedingly. 
And YHVH Elohim spoke to Abram through His servant, Melchizedek, as he prayed over him, blessing him, saying: My people have gone astray from my precepts and have not kept mine ordinances, which I gave unto their fathers; 
And they have not observed mine anointing, and the tvilah wherewith I appointed them in teshuvah, 
But these have turned from this, my mitzvoth, and taken unto themselves the washing of children, the burning of flesh unto ash, and the sprinkling of blood. 
But as for thee, behold, I will make my covenant with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations; 
And this covenant I will make with thy children that it may be known among all nations. 
And thy name shall no more be called Abram, but I shall give thee and new name, and thy wife Sarai also: 
And thy name shall be called Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee: 
And I shall make thee exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come of thee and of thy seed. 
And I will establish a covenant with thee with the circumcision of the heart, and it shall be my covenant between me and thee, and thy seed after thee in their generations. 
And thou mayest know of a surety forever that children are not accountable before me until they are of age, for a babe cannot walk, nor child comprehend the weightier matters. 
But as for thee, thou shalt walk in teshuvah, observing to keep my Law and all my covenants wherein I covenanted with thy fathers, and thou shalt teach thy children the same; 
And thou shalt keep the mitzvoth which I have given thee with mine own mouth and I shall be thy Elohim and the Elohim of thy seed after thee. 
And I will give unto thee and thy seed after thee a land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, for so long as they shall know and keep their Elohim; 
Therefore, thou shalt keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee in their generations. 
And this shall be my covenant which ye shall keep between me and thee and thy seed after thee: Every child among you shall be taught to become circumcised; 
And when every child is eight days old, they shall be blessed and instructed in teshuvah, that they may be circumcised of the heart when they come of age— yea, every child forever in all generations: 
They that are born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger which is not of thy seed: 
They that are born in thy house and they that are bought with thy money must needs be taught, and my covenant shall be even woven into thy skin for a new and everlasting covenant; 
And when thy children come of age, they shall be given the token of the covenant between me and thee; 
And the uncircumcised, they who shall not circumcise their hearts, these souls shall be spiritually cut off from the people and shall not learn my signs and tokens; for these hath broken my covenant. 
And Melchizedek said these and many other words unto Abram; and after this, Melchizedek came unto Sarai, Abraham’s wife, and he blessed her, saying: Sarai, thou shalt no longer be called Sarai, but Sarah shall be thy new name. 
And I will bless thee, and YHVH will give thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him also, even the new and everlasting covenant with his seed after him. 
Yea, I will bless thee, and thou shall be blessed, for thou shall be known as the mother of nations; kings and queens and many people shall come out of thee; 
And as thou art a queen over Egypt, and other lands, thy seed shall be a royal people; 
And because thou art a Priestess, and thy husband a Priest, thy children with him shall be a royal priesthood, given them by the Law of the Patriarchal and Matriarchal priesthood established by the covenant, that shall be passed down by the blood through thy seed unto the ends of the earth. 
And it shall be through thy seed who shall have claim over the earth through Egypt and the heavens through my Priesthood that the heavens shall be brought unto the earth in tikkun olam; that the creation shall be completed: 
Therefore, I give thee thy duty to teach these things unto thy children that when they come of age their walk shall be in teshuvah with me, and their hearts shall be circumcised; 
And when they do come of age, they that shall not reject the covenant but shall be my covenant people, unto these shalt thou give my signs and tokens, even as I did give them unto thy ancestors. 
And Sarah wondered in her heart: How should this be? For she was barren. 
And Abraham did fall on his face and called upon the name of YHVH, and rejoiced, and said in his heart: There shall a child be born unto me and Sarah, though she is barren of me, she shall still conceive. 
And Melchizedek said: Sarah, thy wife, shall bear thee a son, and it shall be as YHVH has spoken. 
And Abraham said unto YHVH before Melchizedek: O, that Ishmael might live uprightly before YHVH Elohim! 
And Melchizedek answered him in the spirit of prophecy and revelation, saying: As for Ishmael, Elohim hath heard thee; 
Behold, he shall be blessed, and YHVH will make him fruitful and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and Elohim will make him a great nation. 
But this covenant will be establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year, unless Ishmael and his seed should come to El Elyon through Isaac, for they too shall be of thy seed. 
And Melchizedek gave unto Abraham and Sarah all that had been passed down from Adam and Eve from the beginning, even the keys, and the signs, and the tokens. 
And it came to pass that after this, Melchizedek left off talking with them; and Elohim went up from Abraham and Sarah.

Chapter 28

Promises Made

And it came to pass that Abraham took Ishmael, his son, and all males that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin as a reminder of the covenant Elohim had made with them. 
And Abraham was in the ninety-nineth degree and Ishmael in the thirteenth degree when they were circumcised in the flesh of their foreskin, and this they did in remembrance of the covenant. 
And on the same day Abraham and Ishmael were circumcised, all the men of his house, which were born in his house, and bought with money of strangers, were also circumcised with him. 
And all they that rejected the covenant were offered a sum of money, and he goats and she goats, and camels, and sent on their way from out of the lands of Abraham; but there was none of the men that did not partake in the covenant. 
¶ And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH appeared unto Abraham in the plains of Mamre as he sat in his tent door, in the heat of the day and recovering from the wound of his hands, saying: Behold! 
And Abraham did lift up his eyes and looked, and lo, three men stood by him; 
And when he saw these men, he ran to meet them from his tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, saying: My brethren, if now I have found favor in your sight, pass not away, I pray you, from thy servant. 
Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree; and I will fetch a morsel of bread and comfort ye your hearts; after that you shall pass on; for this is why ye have come to your servant. 
And they said: Go and do as thou hast said. 
And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah and said: Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead, and make cakes of bread upon the hearth. 
And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf, tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hastened to dress it. 
And he took butter, and milk, and the calf, which he had dressed, and set them before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat. 
And they said unto him: Where is Sarah, thy wife? 
And Abraham answered: Behold, she is there, in the tent. 
And one of them blessed Abraham, and he said: I will certainly return unto thee from my journey; and lo, according to the time of life, Sarah, thy wife, shall have a son. 
And Sarah heard him in the tent door, and now Abraham and Sarah had heard this promise many times before, and not seen it fulfilled, therefore, Sarah had given up on this, believing her womb to be closed to her husband; 
Therefore, Sarah laughed within herself, thinking: After all of these years, my womb is still empty of the seed of Abraham, and how then shall I conceive of him? 
And the man asked of Abraham: Why does Sarah laugh? Is anything too hard for YHVH? 
And the men revealed themselves to be malakim of YHVH; and the first spoke again saying: At the time appointed, behold, I will return unto thee from my journey, which YHVH hath sent us; and according to the time of life thou mayest know that Sarah shall have a son. 
Then Sarah denied her laughter, saying: I laughed not; for she was afraid. 
And he said: Nay, but thou didst laugh. 
And the malakim rose up from thence and looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. 
And the first malak said unto Abraham: YHVH said unto us: Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great and because their sin is very grievous, I will destroy them; 
And YHVH will send you, and ye shall go down now and see that their iniquities are rewarded unto them; and ye shall have all things done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me. 
And if ye do it not, it shall be upon your heads; for I will destroy them, and you shall know that I will do it, for it shall be before your eyes. 
And the malakim, which were holy men and were sent forth after the order of El Elyon, turned their faces from thence and went toward Sodom. 
¶ But Abraham stood yet before the angel of YHVH, remembering the things which had been told him. 
And Abraham drew near to Sodom and prayed unto YHVH, calling upon his name, saying: Wilt thou destroy the righteous with the wicked? Wilt thou not spare them? 
Perhaps there are fifty righteous within the city, wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that may be therein? 
O, may that be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, and that the righteous should be as the wicked; O YHVH, may that be far from thee, for shall not the Judge of all the earth do that which is right? 
And the angel of YHVH spoke unto Abraham, saying: If there be fifty righteous within the city of Sodom, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. 
And Abraham answered and said: Behold, now I have taken upon me to speak unto my Lord, which is able to destroy the city and lay all the people to dust and ashes: 
Will Thou spare them, perhaps there lack five of the fifty righteous? Wilt thou destroy all the city for their wickedness if thou should find there forty-five righteous? 
And the angel of YHVH said: I will not destroy it, but will spare them. 
And Abraham spake unto him again, saying: Perhaps there should be forty found there? 
And the angel of YHVH said: I will not destroy it for the sake of forty. 
And he pleaded again, saying: O, let not my Lord be angry, and I will speak: Perhaps there shall thirty be found there? 
And the angel of YHVH said: I will not destroy them if thou shalt find thirty there. 
And Abraham said: Behold, now I have taken upon me to speak unto my Lord again: Wilt thou destroy them if perhaps there shall twenty be found there? 
And the angel of YHVH spoke again saying: I will not destroy them for the sake of twenty. 
And Abraham said: O, let not my Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Perhaps ten shall be found there? 
And the angel of YHVH answered again saying: I will not destroy them for the sake of ten, but should there be less than this, behold I shall tell these to flee the city, and should they not look back in longing of that sinful place I shall not destroy them. 
And the angel of YHVH when along his way; and Abraham went his way back unto his wives and their son. 
¶ And it came to pass that Abraham returned unto his tent in peace.

Chapter 29

Promises Kept

And it came to pass that the malakim that had left Abraham did come to Sodom in the evening; and they found Lot sitting in the door of his house in the city of Sodom. 
And Lot, seeing the malakim, rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground. 
And Lot said unto them: Behold now, adonai, turn in, I pray ye, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet; and ye shall rise up early and go on your way. 
And this he had spoken, for he knew of the wickedness of Sodom, for the people had not heard his cries unto them unto teshuvah, and he did seek to protect them, not knowing that these were malakim. 
And they said: Nay; but we will abide in the street all night. 
And Lot pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him and entered into his house; and he made them a feast and did bake unleavened bread; and they did eat; 
¶ But before they lay down to rest, the scorners of the city of Sodom surrounded the house, even they which were both male and female, old and young; even the people from every quarter. 
And they called unto Lot and said unto him, mockingly: Where are the men which came in unto thee this night? Bring them out unto us that we may consider them and take them to our liking. 
And Lot went out of the door unto them, and shut the door after him: and said: I plead with you as I am one of you, do not so wickedly; for they are now with me and it would be a dishonor to my name should something happen to them. 
And they said unto him: Stand back! And they were angry with him. 
And they spoke and said among themselves: This one man came in, to sojourn among us, and he is a foreigner among us; and now he thinks himself to be our judge? Now we will deal worse with him than with them! And they pressed forward as to break down the door. 
Now this was after the wickedness of Sodom, for they had no love for their fellow men, and the foreigner among them was not welcome to dwell therein. 
And Lot said: Behold now, I have two daughters which are betrothed and other daughters which are wed to men of this great city, and see ye that I am one of you; 
I beg, pleading with ye, my people, for Elohim cannot justify his servant in this thing; 
Wherefore, let me plead once again, that unto these men ye do nothing, that they may have peace in my house; for these have come under the shadow of my roof. 
Wherefore, they came unto Lot, saying: We will have the men and thy daughters also; and we will do with them as seemeth us good. 
And the people were angry with Lot and came near to break the door; but the malakim of El Elyon, which were holy men, put forth their hands, and pulled Lot into the house unto them, and shut the door. 
And the people were smote with blindness, both small and great, that they could not come at the door; 
And they were angry, so that they wearied themselves to find the door, but in their blindness they could not find it. 
And these, the malakim, said unto Lot: Hast thou any here besides thy wife, and thy sons-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters? 
And Lot answered them: Nay. 
And they commanded Lot, saying: Whatsoever thou hast in the city, thou shalt bring out of this place, 
For we will destroy this place, for the cry of them is waxen great, and their abominations have come up before the face of YHVH Elohim; and YHVH hath sent us to destroy it. 
And Lot went out and spake unto his sons-in-law, which married his daughters, and said: Up, get ye out of this place, for YHVH will destroy this city! 
But unto his sons-in-law he seemed as one that mocked. 
¶ And it came to pass that when the morning came, the malakim hastened Lot, saying: Arise and take thy wife, and thy two daughters which are here, lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. 
And while he lingered, the malakim laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of Advu, and upon the hand of his two daughters, YHVH being merciful unto them, and they brought them forth and set them down without the city. 
And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that they said unto them: Escape for your lives; look not behind you, neither stay you in all the plain; but escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed. 
And Lot said unto one of them, O, no, adonai! Behold now, thy servant has found grace in thy sight, 
And thou hast magnified thy mercy which thou hast showed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil overtake me, and I die. 
Behold now, here is another city, and this is near to flee unto, and it is a little one; O, let us escape thither, and may YHVH not destroy it, and our souls shall live. 
And the malakim said unto him: See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city of which thou hast spoken; haste thee, escape thither, for I cannot do anything until thou hast fled. 
And the name of the city was called Bela; and the sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Bela. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH did not destroy Sodom until Lot had entered into Bela. 
And then, when Lot had entered into Bela, YHVH rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah; for the malakim called upon the name of YHVH for brimstone and fire from YHVH out of heaven. 
And thus they overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. 
But it came to pass, when Lot fled, his wife, Advu, looked back from behind him and was consumed, for she longed for the vanities of Sodom. 
¶ And it came to pass that Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he stood before YHVH; and he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the plain; and behold, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace. 
And he looked too over towards Salam, and it was gone, for in that same day did YHVH Elohim take Melchizedek and his people, even as he had done with Enoch and his people. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Elohim had destroyed the cities of the plain, that The Voice spake unto Abraham, saying: I have remembered Lot and sent him out of the midst of the overthrow, that the seed of thy brother might not be destroyed when I overthrew the city in which Lot dwelt. 
And Abraham was comforted. 
¶ And Lot went up out of Bela and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Bela. 
And he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters, and upon seeing all the destruction they, the daughters of Lot, did believe themselves to be alone upon the earth. 
And the firstborn said unto the younger: Our father has become old, and we have not a man on the earth to marry us, to live with us after the manner of all that live on the earth; 
Therefore, come, let us make our father drink wine; and we will lie with him, that we may preserve the seed of our father. 
For these did not know, nor did they understand, being left alone in that cave for too long by the fear of Lot, their father. 
And it came to pass that they did wickedly and made their father drink wine that night; and the first went in and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down nor when she arose. 
And it came to pass on the next day, that the first said unto the younger: Behold, I lay yesternight with my father; let us make him drink wine this night also, and go thou in and lie with him, that we may preserve the seed of our father. 
And they made their father drink wine that night also; and the younger arose and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down nor when she arose. 
Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father; and the first bare a son and called his name Moab; and the younger, she also bare a son and called his name Ben-ammi.

Chapter 30

Two Nations

And it came to pass that YHVH visited Sarah as He had said, and that YHVH did bless Sarah even as he had spoken by the mouth of Melchizedek and the malakim; 
And Sarah did conceive from Abraham and did bare a son at the set time of which the malakim of Elohim had spoken to them. 
And Abraham and Sarah called the name of their son Isaac; and Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, he being eight days old; 
And Abraham blessed his son, and Sarah did begin to teach him of the covenant, even as they had covenanted with Elohim that they should do. 
And Abraham and Sarah did obtain together the one hundredth degree when their son Isaac was born unto them. 
And Sarah said: Elohim has made me to rejoice; and also all that know me will rejoice with me. 
And she said unto Abraham: Who would have said that Sarah should have given thy children suck but YHVH? For I was barren unto thee, but YHVH promised, and I have borne a son. 
¶ And it came to pass that the child grew and was weaned; 
And in that day that Isaac was weaned, Abraham made a great feast; and Sarah saw the son of Hagar, the Egyptian, which Hagar had borne unto Abraham, cruelly scorning him to show unto him his dominance; and Sarah was troubled; 
Wherefore, she said unto Abraham: Cast out this Egyptian woman and her son; for YHVH Elohim has said that the son of this woman shall not be heir with my son, Isaac, and yet there he is making to mock him in cruelty. 
And this thing was very grievous unto Abraham because of his sons, for he feared that Ishmael should do harm unto Isaac. 
And The Voice said unto Abraham: Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of thy son and because of thy wife, Hagar; in all that Sarah has said unto thee, hearken unto her voice, for in Isaac shall thy seed be called; 
But fear not for Ishmael, for the son of Hagar will I make a nation also for he is thy seed, 
And the day shall surely come when they too shall partake of their inheritance because of the seed of thy son with Sarah, even Isaac. 
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave unto Hagar; and she took the child, and he sent her away; and she departed and wandered in the wilderness of Bearsheba. 
And it came to pass that the water was spent in the bottle; and she cast Ishmael under one of the shrubs, and she went and sat herself down over against the child, a good way off, as it were a bowshot; for she said: Let me not see the death of my child. 
And as she sat over away from her son, she lifted up her voice, and wept. 
And Elohim heard her cries; and the angel of YHVH called to Hagar out of heaven and said unto her: What troubles thee, Hagar? 
Fear not, for Elohim hath heard the voice of Ishmael where he lieth. 
Arise, therefore, and lift him up, and hold him in thine hand; for Allah will make of him a great nation. 
And Elohim opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave her son to drink. 
And Elohim was with Ismael; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, becoming an archer; 
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran, he and his mother, and he took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

Chapter 31

The Climb or The Ascension

And it came to pass that after Hagar was sent away that Abraham and Sarah took another wife, and her name was Qeturah and she bore him six sons who’s names were: Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. 
And it came to pass that Abraham gave gifts unto these sons, and sent them away from Isaac, his son with Sarah, while he yet lived, Eastward, unto the East country; 
And Abraham did continue to care for Hagar and Ishmael, and Qeturah and her sons as was his obligation; and he did fulfill all his duties unto them; 
But to Isaac was given the covenant, and so it was that it was the son of Sarah by him that he kept nearest to his heart, and unto the others a portion was given and these he sent on their way; and this made Sarah to rejoice in her heart. 
¶ And it came to pass that after these things, Ha’Elohim did call unto Abraham, and said unto him: Abraham! 
And Abraham answered, saying: Lo! Behold, here am I. 
And Ha’Elohim said: Take now thy beloved son, Isaac, whom thou lovest the most of all thy seed, and get thee into the land of Moriah; 
And there, ascend upon one of the mountains of which I will tell thee, and there thou shall offer thy son fully unto me. 
And after this, Abraham worried and pondered: How shall I separate my son Isaac from Sarah, his mother, that I may take him up for to sacrifice him as an offering unto YHVH? 
And Abraham came into the tent of Sarah, and he sat before his wife, and as she saw him, being troubled, she spoke unto him, saying: My son, Isaac, is grown; it is time that he learn the mysteries of YHVH Elohim, even that which Melchizedek did teach unto us; 
Now tomorrow, I pray thee, go forth and take him to the mountain of YHVH, and there he will learn the ways of YHVH: 
For thou shall teach our son to know YHVH by the signs and tokens given us, as well as to know that when he prayeth continually before YHVH, Ha’Elohim will answer him; 
Therefore, do this, I pray thee, that our son will know the way of serving YHVH, his Elohim. 
And Abraham was troubled in his heart no more for getting his son away from his mother, for he had seen the will of YHVH manifest before his eyes; 
Yet this was still a hard and terrible thing he thought to do, and there rose up much sorrow within the man Abraham. 
¶ And it came to pass that Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and went unto the place of which God had told him. 
And it came to pass that on the third day, Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place afar off, and they rose up and gathered up wood that he should burn an offering to YHVH. 
And Abraham said unto the two young men: Abide you here with the ass, and I and my son will go yonder, and worship, and then come back here to you again. 
And Abraham took the wood for the offering and laid it upon Isaac’s back; and he took the fire in his hand, and his athame, and Isaac his son; and they walked up, united together in their purpose. 
And Isaac did speak unto Abraham, his father, and said: Father? 
And Abraham said, Here am I, my son. 
And Isaac said: Behold the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for an offering? 
And Abraham said: My son, Elohim will personally provide a lamb unto us for the offering; and the two of them went on, both of them together, united in their purpose. 
¶ And it came to pass that they came to the place of which Ha’Elohim had shown unto Abraham; and Abraham built an altar there and laid the wood in order. 
And Isaac spoke unto to his father, saying: Bind me securely and place me there upon the altar lest, in fear I turn and move, or break loose from the force of the knife upon my flesh to profane the offering. 
And Abraham bound Isaac, his son, and Isaac struggled not; and Abraham laid his beloved son on the altar, upon the wood, and stretched forth his hand to take up the knifed with the intent to slaughter his son: 
And the angel of YHVH called unto Abraham from out of heaven, saying: Abraham! Abraham! 
And Abraham said: Here am I! 
And the angel of YHVH said: Lay not thine hand upon thy son, neither do thou anything to harm him; 
For thou knowest that thou fearest Elohim, seeing thou hast not withheld thy beloved son, thine only Isaac, son of Sarah from thy seed, from me. 
And at no time did I say that thou should slay thy son, but this thou feared for the great love that thou hast for Him; 
And behold: ye both now see that was a similitude of Ha’Elohim and the Yachad Yachid Echad which shall be sent, the Messiah of the world forever and ever. 
And as Abraham understood, he lifted up his eyes and looked; and he beheld, behind a thicket, there was a ram, and he caught it by his horns; 
And Abraham went, and took the ram, and offered him up for an offering in the stead of his son; and he and Isaac did eat of it in remembrance of the Son of Man that should come. 
¶ And it came to pass that Abraham told Isaac of his vision in the fire that night as the fire burn on and began to teach his son all he knew of YHVH Elohim. 
And Abraham called the name of that place YHVH Yir’eh, or YHVH Will Provide; for on the Mountain of YHVH it shall be provided. 
¶ And the angel of YHVH called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, saying: Thus saith YHVH: A covenant had been made in the heavens before the world was by created by Ha’Elohim, 
That because this Adam hath done this thing, and hast not withheld his beloved son, the only son of Abraham and Sarah, from me, 
And even though I did not ask of it, yet thou wast willing to give him, and that in offering to thy Elohim, I will bless thee for the life of thy son, but not by his death; 
And in this covenant which Ha’Elohim hath made before thou wast born ye shall be blessed, Adam, in multiplying. 
And before the world was, thou was told: I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is upon the seashore; 
And thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed because thou should obey my Voice. 
And behold, I knew this of thee before we made the covenant here upon this earth, you and I, and because I knew, I made an everlasting covenant, yea, and even a new and everlasting covenant with thee and with thy household, and with every generation to spring forth from thee unto the end of the earth. 
But know thou this, and teach it unto thy seed and them to teach their seed after thee, unto every generation unto the end of the earth: I, YHVH, take no joy in the shedding of blood; 
Yea, and all life is precious unto me; therefore, know ye, both thou and thy seed, that I shall never require the sacrifice of thee, or thy seed, nor of any of thy family, nor any other Adam; 
For such is an abomination unto me, and life should never be shed except to save a life, even as thy father and mother, Noah and Na’amah, taught thee. 
¶ And it came to pass that after Abraham had finished instructing his son, he and Isaac returned unto the young men, and they rose up and went to Bearsheba; and Abraham dwelt at Bearsheba.

Chapter 32

In Mourning

And it came to pass that after these, Isaac was anointed, and Abraham had returned home that it was told unto Abraham, saying: Behold, Milcah, she hath also borne children unto thy brother Nahor; Huz is his firstborn,and Buz is his brother. 
And Kemuel is the father of Aram, and Chesed, and Haza, and Bildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel; and Bethuel begat Rebekah. 
These eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother; and his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, Thahash, and Maachah. 
¶ And now it came to pass that Abraham was along in years, and YHVH had blessed him in every way. 
And so, it came to pass that Abraham said unto Evad, the most trusted servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had: 
Put forth, I pray thee, thy hand under my hand, and I will make thee swear before YHVH, the Elohim of heaven and the Elohim of the earth, that thou shalt go unto my country and to my kindred and take a wife unto my son Isaac; 
For my son must not take a wife unto of the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I dwell; for these are idolaters and should these lead him astray, I will not have kept the Covenant. 
And Evad said unto him: Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land; therefore, should I return thy son again unto the land from whence thou came? 
And Abraham said unto him: No, thou shall not bring my son to that land, for YHVH, Elohim of the heavens, which took me from the house of my father and from the land of my kindred, and which spoke unto me, and that swore unto me, saying: Unto thee will I give this land. 
And YHVH Elohim shall send an angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from that land: 
And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this thine oath; only bring not my son to that land but keep him here. 
And Evad put his hand under the hand of Abraham and swore unto him an oath concerning the matter. 
¶ And it came to pass that Evad took him ten camels of Abraham when he arose the next morning, and he went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor, 
And he did depart with many gifts for and offering to the family of the woman that YHVH should send him too, for all the goods of Abraham were in his hand. 
¶ And it came to pass that Sarah too was on in years, and so it was that not much time had passed after the servant of Abraham had left that Sarah died; and thus ended the years of the life of Sarah; 
And Sarah had reached the one-hundred and twenty-seventh degree when she died. 
And Sarah had been the High Priestess ordained by Melchizedek, in her generation; the great Matriarch, and beloved Sister to all in every generation: 
And she was the sister of Abraham being the daughter of his father but not his mother, and our Sister in Wisdom, for she did walk and talk as one with the Shekinah upon the earth; 
And Shekinah was truly with her, and thus it is that she is both Mother and Sister to the very souls of all mankind, even as Eve before her, as these find rest in the divine light and life. 
And so it is that all who shall live by the Shekinah that hears our pleas into Ha’Elohim will find rest in her beauty; therefore the children of Elohim will have no fear over whatsoever shall come to pass. 
¶ And Abraham lamented and mourned for Sarah, and he wept for her, his wife which was dead. 
And Abraham stood up from before his dead and spoke unto the sons of Heth, saying: I am a stranger and a sojourner with you; 
And give unto me a possession of a burying place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight, for I can bear to look upon her no longer. 
And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him: Hear us, my lord; thou art a mighty prince among us, one chosen of Elohim; 
Therefore, bury thou thy dead in the choicest of our sepulchers; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulcher, but it shall be given thee that thou mayest bury thy dead. 
And Abraham stood up and bowed himself to the people of the land, and to the children of Heth; and he communed with them, saying: If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me! 
And Abraham entreated Ephron, the son of Zohar, saying: Give unto me the cave of Machpelah, which thou hath in the end of thy field, 
And I shall pay as much money as it is worth, if thou will give it me for a possession to use as a burying place among you. 
And now Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, among all of them that went in at the gates of the city, saying: Hearken, my lord, and hear me; 
The field I give thee and the cave that is therein; I give it thee in the presence of the sons of my people; and I give it thee; therefore, bury thy dead. 
And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land, 
And he spoke unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying: I pray thee, hear me; if thou wilt take it of me, I will give thee money for the field, and I will bury my dead there; but I will give thee money for it. 
And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him: My lord, hearken unto me; the land thou shalt have for four hundred shekels of silver; what shall that be betwixt me and thee? Bury, therefore, thy dead. 
And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed unto Ephron the silver which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, which was current with the merchant. 
And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, 
And all the trees that were in the field and that were in all the borders round about were made sure unto Abraham for a possession, in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of the city. 
¶ And after this, Abraham buried Sarah, his wife, the wife of kings, and mother of the righteous, in the cave of the field of Machpelah, for he could bear to look upon her flesh no longer for the pain of it. 
And the field and the cave that was therein were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a burying place by the sons of Heth.

Chapter 33

Given to Drink

And it came to pass that Evad, the servant of Abraham, knew not of the death of Sarah, but was about his journey when he stopped to make his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at evening, the time that women go out to draw water. 
And he prayed, saying: O YHVH! Elohim of my lord, Abraham, I pray thee this day, that thou wouldest show kindness unto my lord Abraham and send me good speed. 
Behold, I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water; 
And so, let it come to pass that the damsel to whom I shall say: Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink, and she shall say: Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also, let her be the one whom thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac. 
And thereby shall I know that thou hast showed kindness unto my lord, Abraham. 
¶ And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder. 
And the damsel, being a young maiden, was very fair to look upon, such as the servant of Abraham had not seen, neither had any man known the like unto her, 
And he beheld her as she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up. 
And Evad ran to meet her and said: Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher. 
And she said: Drink, my lord; and she hastened, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink. 
And when she had done giving him drink, she said: I will draw for thy camels also until they have done drinking. 
And she hastened, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw, and drew for all his camels. 
And the man, wondering at her, held his peace, pondering in his heart whether YHVH had made his journey prosperous or not. 
¶ And it came to pass that as the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a gold earring of half a shekel weight and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold, and gave them to her; 
And Evad did ask her: Whose daughter art thou? Tell me, I pray thee; and is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in? 
And she spoke unto him, saying: I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor. 
And she continued to speak, saying unto him: We have both straw, and food enough, and room to lodge in. 
And the man bowed down his head and worshiped YHVH. 
And he said: Blessed is YHVH, Elohim of my lord Abraham, who hath not left my lord destitute of Mercy and Truth; and when I was in the way, YHVH led me to the house of my master's brethren. 
And the damsel ran to the house and told her mother these things. 
And Rebekah had a brother, whose name was Laban; and Laban ran out to the man, unto the well. 
¶ And it came to pass that when he saw the earrings, and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah, his sister, saying: Thus spake the man unto me, and I came unto the man, and behold, he stood by the camels at the well, 
And he said: Come in, thou blessed of YHVH; wherefore standest thou without? For I have prepared the house and room for the camels. 
And the man came into the house, and he unburdened his camels and gave straw, and food for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the men's feet that came with him. 
And there was set before him food to eat; but he said: I will not eat until I have told mine errand. 
And Laban said: Speak on. 
And he said: I am the servant of Abraham; and YHVH hath blessed my lord greatly, and he is become great; and he hath given him flocks and herds, and silver and gold, and menservants and maidservants, and camels and asses. 
And Sarah, the wife of my lord, bore a son to my master; and unto him hath he given all that he hath. 
And my lord made me swear, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell; but thou shalt go unto my father's house and to my kindred and take a wife unto my son. 
And I said unto my lord: Perhaps the woman will not follow me? 
And he said unto me: YHVH, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee; and he will prosper thy way; 
And thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred and of my father's house; then shalt thou be clear of my oath. 
When thou comest to my kindred, and if they give thee not a wife for my son, thou shalt be clear from my oath. 
And I came this day unto the well and said: O YHVH, Elohim of my lord Abraham, if now thou wilt prosper my way which I go, 
Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass that when the young maiden cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her: Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink, 
And if she should say unto me: Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels, the same is the woman whom YHVH hath appointed out for my the son of my lord. 
And before I had done speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well and drew water. 
And I said unto her: Let me drink, I pray thee. 
And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said: Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also; and so it was that I drank, and she made the camels drink also. 
And I asked her and said: Whose daughter art thou? 
And she answered me, saying: The daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor, whom Milcah bare unto him. 
And I gave the earrings unto her to put into her ears and the bracelets upon her hands. 
And I bowed down my head, and worshiped YHVH, and blessed YHVH, the Elohim of my lord, Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son. 
¶ And now, if thou wilt deal kindly and truly with my lord, tell me; and if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand or to the left. 
Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said: The thing proceedeth from YHVH; we cannot speak unto thee bad or good. 
Behold, Rebekah is before thee; take her and go; and let her be thy lord's son's wife, as YHVH hath spoken. 
¶ And it came to pass that, when Abraham's servant heard these words, he worshiped YHVH, bowing himself to the earth; 
And Evad brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave to Rebekah. 
And he gave also unto her brother and to her mother many precious things, and they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night.

Chapter 34

Journey Home

And it came to pass that when they arose up in the morning, Evad, the servant of Abraham, said: Send me away unto my lord. 
And the brother and mother of Rebekah said: Let the young maiden abide with us at the least ten days, perhaps more; and after that she shall go. 
And the chief servant of Abraham said unto them: Hinder me not, seeing YHVH hath prospered my way; send me away therefore, that I may go unto my lord; and this young woman, that she shall meet her husband. 
And they said: We will call the damsel and inquire at her mouth. 
And they called Rebekah, and they said unto her: Wilt thou go with this man? 
And she answered them: I will go, for we do see that it is surely the will of YHVH Elohim, and who are we to deny they that created us? 
And they sent away their sister Rebekah, and her nurse, and Evad, and his men; 
And they blessed Rebekah and said unto her: O thou, our sister, be thou blessed of thousands, of millions; and let thy seed possess the gate of those who hate them. 
And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels and followed the man; and Evad took Rebekah and went his way. 
¶ And it came to pass that when they arrived, Isaac came from the direction of the well Bearlahai’roi; for he dwelt in the south country. 
And Isaac had gone out to meditate in the field at eventide, for he sought to know his fortune; 
And there he was given a dream, a vision of YHVH; and in his vision he did see the sun and the moon, and there was a crown upon the head of his father, Abraham; 
And there came from the heavens a large man that shined as the light, and Isaac saw that this man was the very Father of Light. 
And the Son of Man took light greater than the sun from his head, and yet left the rays behind with the Man. 
And the sun and the moon and the stars lamented, saying: Take not away thy glory from us, for only from thee have we power. 
And that Man answered them saying: Weep not that I take thy light from out of thy house, for it is taken up from thy troubles unto rest and that ye shall be lifted up upon high and exalted. 
And he saw that they lift his father, Abraham up from a narrow space to a wide place; yea, and they did raise up him from darkness to light; and he saw his mother, Sarah, even more beautiful, delightsome, and pure than in life; and there she did wait with many others for her husband. 
And Isaac said: I beseech thee, YHVH, turn also thy rays upon me! 
And there, in the vision, he was taken up, and he thought he saw YHVH Elohim summoning the archangel Michael, and saying unto him: Go down, Michael, to thy seed; 
Go thou unto Abraham, my beloved friend; and there thou shall tell him of his death; 
And behold, thou shalt call unto him saying: Depart thee from this world, and go forth to YHVH, thy Elohim. 
Then Isaac saw, and heard Michael saying: Hear, O righteous Abraham; it is given thee to know, O most honored Abraham, that thy sojourn is done, and thou shalt leave this, the earth, and thy soul shall dwell with El Elyon. 
And Isaac saw that the light of the sun became his father, and the moon likewise is Sarah, his mother. 
And the Man bearing light sent who His Son, who descended from the heavens from Ha’Elohim, who is the most righteous soul from whom all Law is given. 
And Isaac saw that Michael went down, and he said unto the friend of YHVH: This day shalt thou depart from this life; and, behold, the days of thy sojourn here are fulfilled. 
And Abraham said unto him: Amen! Be it so; thou art kind, good Father; open thy gates, Father, that I may not weep too long for my son, nor weep any longer for my wives. 
And Michael took Abraham into a chariot of cherubim, and brought him up into the heavens, and led him upon the clouds together with sixty angels; 
And the chariot flew over all the creation; and Michael drove it forth, and it went up into the heavens. 
¶ And Isaac was taken from his dream, knowing that his father too should die; and there he was prompted to raise up; and he lifted up his eyes, and saw and beheld the camels coming. 
And Rebekah lifted up her eyes; and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel; for she said unto the servant: What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? 
And the servant said: It is my lord; therefore, she took a veil and covered herself. 
And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done. 
And Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother, Sarah, and took Rebekah; and she became his wife, and he loved her. 
And Isaac was comforted after his mother's death. 
¶ And it came to pass that Abraham, being well pleased in seeing his son, Isaac, the son of his Sarah, comforted by Rebekah, that then Abraham did give up the ghost, even as Isaac had divined: 
And Abraham died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people; 
¶ And it came to pass that Abraham, friend of YHVH, and entertainer of angels, lived to reach the one hundred and seventy-fifth degree.

Chapter 35

The Well of Living Water

And it came to pass that the sons of Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael, did bury Abraham with Sarah, his wife, in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar, the Hittite, which is at Mamre, in the field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth. 
And it was that Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac; for Abraham had given gifts to his other sons given him of his other wives, and he did send them away from his son Isaac to the land of the east. 
¶ And it came to pass that there was a famine in the land, and Isaac went unto Abimelech, king of the Philistines, unto Gerar; 
For the angel of YHVH did appeared unto him, saying: Go not down into Egypt; but dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: 
Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee and unto thy seed I will give all these countries, for thou art of the oath made between YHVH Elohim and Abraham, thy father; 
And thus it shall be that thy seed shall multiply as the stars of the heavens, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, 
And because Abraham did obey my Voice and kept my charge, my Law, my statutes, and my mitzvoth. 
¶ And so it was that Isaac and his wife, Rebekah, did dwell in Gerar. 
And the men of that place asked him concerning his wife, and Isaac remembered that his father, Abraham had said of his mother, Sarah: She is my sister; and this he knew had been done for a wise purpose in YHVH; 
And he feared to say: She is my wife, lest the men of the place should kill him to take Rebekah unto themselves because she was fair to look upon; 
Therefore, he said unto these men: She is my sister. 
¶ And it came to pass that Abimelech, king of the Philistines, remembered also Abraham and Sarah and how they had said the same, and he did spy upon them; 
And after they had been there for some time, one morning when they thought they were alone, he looked out his window and saw, and he beheld that Isaac was caressing Rebekah, as his wife. 
And Abimelech called Isaac and said: Behold, surely Rebekah is thy wife! And why then didst thou say unto us: She is thy sister? 
And Isaac spoke unto him, saying: I said it because I feared lest I die because of her great beauty. 
And Abimelech said: What is this thou hast done unto us? One of the people might lightly have lain with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us for thy deception. 
And Abimelech charged all his people, saying: He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death. 
¶ Now it came to pass that Isaac sowed in that land, and in the same year he did receive a hundredfold; for YHVH did blessed him. 
And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great; for he had many flocks, and herds, and laborers; and so it was that the Philistines envied him. 
And it came to pass that the Philistines took dirt and filled up all the wells which had been dug in the days of Abraham, his father, that they were dried up. 
And Abimelech said unto Isaac: Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we. 
¶ And it came to pass that Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. 
And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which had been dug in the days of Abraham, his father, that the Philistines had stopped after the death of Abraham; and he called the names of these after the names by which his father had called them. 
And the servants of Isaac dug in the valley and found there a well of springing water; 
And it came to pass that the herdsmen of Gerar did argue with Isaac's herdsmen, saying: The water is ours! And Isaac did name the well Eseq because they fought with him. 
And they dug another well and they contended with him for that also; and he called the name of it Sitnah. 
¶ And it came to pass that Isaac removed himself and his people from thence and dug another well; and for that they strove not; and he called the name of it Rechoboth; 
And Isaac said: For now YHVH hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land; and he went up from thence to Bearsheba. 
¶ And the angel of YHVH appeared unto him the same night, saying: I am the Elohim of Abraham, thy father; fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for the sake of my servant, Abraham. 
And be thou not troubled therefore of the wells, for so it is also that when YHVH Elohim helpeth mankind to find the well of living water, so too doth the pride of man come, saying: This well is mine! 
And thus ye contend with one another over the source of living water which floweth and giveth freely; 
Therefore, it pleaseth me that thou should dig up the well, and then to give it up, that source of life, to avoid contending with those that would offend thee. 
And Isaac built an altar there, and called upon the name of YHVH, and pitched his tent there; and there Isaac's servants dug a well. 
¶ Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath, one of his friends, and Phichol, the chief captain of his army. 
And Isaac said unto them: Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me and have sent me away from you? 
And they replied, saying: We saw certainly that YHVH was with thee; and we said: Let there be now an oath between us, even between us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee: 
That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good and have sent thee away in peace; thou art now the blessed of YHVH. 
And Isaac made them a feast, and they did eat and drink. 
And they rose up very early in the morning the following day and swore one to another; and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace. 
¶ And it came to pass the same day that Isaac's servants came and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said unto him: We have found water, and he called it Shibah.

Chapter 36

Jacob and Esau

And these are the generations of Isaac, the son of Abraham: Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac was at the fortieth degree when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel, the Syrian of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban, the Syrian. 
¶ And it came to pass that after the death of Abraham Ha’Elohim did bless his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt towards the well, Bearlahai’roi. 
And Isaac entreated YHVH for his wife, that she might bear children, for she was barren; and YHVH did smell of the incense that Isaac sent up, and was entreated of him, and Rebekah, his wife, conceived. 
¶ And it came to pass that the children struggled together within her womb; and she said: What is this that is happening with me? And if I am with child, why is it thus with me? 
And she went forth to her sacred place to burn incense, and to seek the face of YHVH. 
And the angel of YHVH came before her, saying: Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be separated from thy bowels; 
And it shall be that one shall be conquer the other, making firm his strength and courage; and so it shall be that the elder shall serve the younger. 
¶ And it came to pass that when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, lo! She beheld that it was as the angel of YHVH had spoken, there were twins in her womb: 
And the first came out healthy, and red in color, with hair all over him, like unto a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. 
And after this, came his brother out, his hands grasping onto the heel of Esau; and his name was called Jacob. 
And Isaac had entered into the sixtieth degree when she bore them, and she in the sixty-fifth. 
¶ And it came to pass that when the boys were grown that Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the earth and of the field; 
And Jacob was a peaceful man, whole and blameless; for Jacob did dwell in a tent. 
And Isaac favored Esau because he did eat of his wild game; but Rebekah favored Jacob. 
¶ And it came to pass that Esau went in the field to hunt when Amraphél, a descendant of Nimrod, king over Babel, was hunting with his men in the field in the cool air of the morning times. 
And Amraphél began to observe Esau all the days, for a jealousy was formed his heart against Esau. 
And as Esau went about the field to hunt, and he found Amraphél outside, walking in the wilderness with two of his strong men; 
And Esau saw that all the mighty men and people of Amraphél were with him in the wilderness; 
But they had removed at a distance from him, and they went from him in different directions to hunt. 
And Esau, seeing that he was being hunted, concealed himself from Amraphél, and he began to likewise hunt him in the wilderness. 
And Amraphél and the men that were with him came to the place where Esau was hidden, and it came to pass that Esau came up suddenly from his where he was hidden, and he smote off the head of Amraphél. 
And Esau began to fight with a mighty fierceness against two of the men that were with Amraphél, that they should not called out to their people; 
And Esau did prevail against them and smote them to death with his own sword. 
And Esau knew that the people of Amraphél, and his might and strong ones, were at a distance; therefore he fled, thereby escaped unbeknownst to them; 
And Esau took with him the garments of Adam that had been taken by Ham, and passed down and given unto Amraphél, as his forefather, Nimrod, hand been given. 
And it came to pass that Esau did run off and he did conceal the holy garments in his house. 
And one of the mighty men of Amraphél, who had left him found their king and the two men that were with him lying dead in the wilderness, and none could find he that had slain them. 
¶ And it came to pass that in that same day, Jacob was boiling a pottage; and Esau came from the field, and he was weary from hunger. 
And Esau said unto Jacob: Feed me, I pray thee, with that same rosy pottage; for I am faint from hunger. 
And so it was that Esau was also called Edom. 
And Jacob, being cunning replied unto his elder brother: Sell me this day thy birthright. 
And Esau did plead unto him, saying: Behold, I am at weary of hunger even unto death; and what then shall this birthright profit me? 
And Jacob said: Swear to me first this day. 
And Esau did go unto his house and did take up the garment of Adam and gave them to his brother, Jacob, and did swear unto him; and so it was that he sold his birthright unto Jacob. 
Then Jacob gave Esau bread and some of that stew; and Esau did eat, and drink. 
And when he had his fill, Esau did rise up, and walked off, for he understood not what he had done in selling his birthright nor in giving up the holy garments of his fathers. 
And it was by means this that the garments of Adam and Eve were given back into the hands of the descendants of Shem, to whom Noah and Na’aham would have given them; 
And all this was done, even as the angel of YHVH had told their mother, Rebekah, that the elder brother should come to serve the younger. 
¶ And it came to pass that Esau took to wife Judith, the daughter of Beeri, the Hittite, and Bashemath, the daughter of Elon, the Hittite, which was a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.

Chapter 37

Ishmael

Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian bore unto Abraham; and these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth, and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, and Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. 
And these are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names by their towns and by their strongholds, twelve princes, according to their tribes. 
¶ And Ishmael lived a full life, and in his old age he gave up his last breath and died, yet before he did die, Ishmael was visited by his brother, Isaac; 
And the mouth of Isaac was opened to speak the words of YHVH Elohim, saying: A blessing I place upon thee and thy seed that shall come after thee. 
The day shall come at the last when men and women everywhere will hear of wars and rumors of wars; 
And nation will fight against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, for mankind shall have become a blight upon the earth bringing forth earthquakes, plagues, and it shall be as though the very stars shall divert from their courses. 
And in that day shall three of the sons of Hagar go forth in righteousness unto the people of Ishmael; and these three will come down out of the land in swiftness; 
For the people of Ishmael shall be a people of submission, yet each shall fall in opposition and in defiance of their brethren. 
For YHVH Elohim shall send them a prophet, the Tzadik Yachad of that generation, to teach them the submission of YHVH, 
And there shall be infinite and innumerable multitudes that shall bow to him—yet the Son of Man they shall know not, not at the first. 
And in many places, yea even diverse places, and in all nations shall the sons of Ishmael deny the Yachad Yachid Echad, and yet the holy gifts will follow them; and every sacrifice will be acceptable to YHVH in their arrogance. 
And the sons of Ishmael will cry out with a great voice, boasting and saying: Where art thy Elohim? 
And they shall roar as lions against the children of Isaac, though they shall too be the blood of Abraham. 
And YHVH will extend His hand toward the children of Ishmael as a great sound from heaven, and by the voice of an angel from the heavens; 
And then shall YHVH raise up His head and set his fury against the sons of Ishmael. 
And it shall come to pass that YHVH shall gather two young men of the sons of Ishmael and He will raise them up as fire burning the field of dry reeds, being burnt up; and they shall be preserved by the mercy of YHVH. 
And from fire, which shall be the judgement of YHVH, in the nation of Ishmael, will remain only three houses: 
And in the first house shall the sons of Ishmael serve the sword and dwell in captivity, and will desire to see their father, Ishmael and will not find him. 
And in the second house there will be many altars built up and found acceptable to YHVH Elohim in all the civilized world; 
And unto them shall be given that all the mountains will be inhabited; and the bread and the wine and the olive oil and the gold and the silver will increase in them over all the earth; 
And it shall come to pass that these shall throw away their weapons of war, that they might till the soil and to spill blood never again; 
And men shall come from all the ends of the earth to make war with these, the second house of Ishmael, but war shall not find them. 
And in the third house shall the walls be torn down, and the doors shall be opened, and they shall see a great scepter arise from the children of Isaac and all they that have been dispersed shall be gathered together; 
And all the children of Abraham shall be gathered together and they will come to Yachad Yachid Echad, their King, and then shall the Son of Man rule in all the earth. 
And then shall the time come that there will be an abundance of grain, and wine, and olive oil shall overflow their vessels, as none have seen since the foundation of the world. 
And the seed of the tree that YHVH has planted upon all the earth will be complete, and the land will be fruitful and will produce her fruits a hundredfold. 
¶ And upon hearing these words Ishmael was offended, thinking his younger brother should steal his birthright even unto the end of days; 
Yet to Hagar came the judgment of the covenant through her husband, Abraham, and through Sarah the mercy, as she was blessed of Melchizedek. 
¶ And it came to pass that Ismael died in the presence of all his brethren, and YHVH Elohim took him into His mercy; yea, and he was taken up unto his people.

Chapter 38

The Deception and the Blessing

And it came to pass that when Isaac was old, and his eyes had grown dull, and he had become blind; he called Esau, his eldest son, and said unto him: My son. 
And Esau said unto him: Behold, here am I. 
And Isaac said: Behold, now I am old, I know not the day of my death; therefore, take, I pray thee, thy quiver and thy bow and go out to the field and take me some venison, and make me savory meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; and do this that my soul may bless thee before I die. 
And now, Rebekah heard that which Isaac said unto Esau, his son; and it came to pass that when Esau went to the field to hunt for game to bring unto their father, Rebekah came unto Jacob, her son, saying: Behold, I did overhear thy father speak unto Esau, thy brother; 
And your father did say unto him: Bring me venison and make me savory meat, that I may eat and bless thee in the Face of YHVH before my death. 
Now, therefore my son, listen to my voice and do according to that which I command thee: 
Go now to the flock and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savory meat for thy father, such as he loveth; and thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat and that he may bless thee before his death. 
And Jacob replied unto Rebekah, his mother, saying: Behold, Esau, my brother, is a hairy man; and I am a smooth man; perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me and not a blessing. 
And his mother returned to him, saying: Am I not a Priestess of El Elyon, the Most High God? Why should I do this, except YHVH hath bade me; therefore, obey my voice and go fetch me them. 
And Jacob went out and fetched the two kid goats and brought them to his mother; and his mother made savory meat, such as his father loved. 
And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and she bade Jacob to remove the garments of Adam and Eve that Esau had taken and sold unto him for the soup; and she put the garments of Esau upon Jacob, her younger son; 
And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands and upon the smooth of his neck; and she gave the savory meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob. 
¶ And then came Jacob unto his father, saying: My father! 
And he said, Here am I; Who art thou, which of my sons art thou? 
And Jacob lied unto his father, saying: I am Esau, thy firstborn; I have done according as thou asked me. 
Arise, I pray thee; sit, and eat of this game that I have hunted, that thou should bless me, even unto thy very soul. 
But Isaac thought he might have been tricked, and asked his son: How is it that thou hast found meat so quickly, my son? 
And Jacob answered him, saying: YHVH, thy Elohim, brought it to me. 
And Isaac was not pacified and he said unto Jacob: Come near unto me, I pray thee, and kiss me, that I may feel thee, my son, and by this shall I know if thou be my very son Esau or not. 
And Jacob came close to his father, Isaac, and kissed him; 
And Isaac felt him, saying: The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau; and he discerned him not for his hands were hairy as his brother Esau's hands. 
And Isaac asked him again: Art thou my very son Esau? 
And Jacob lied a third time, saying: I am. 
And Isaac did pray unto YHVH in his heart; and he did smell the scent of the raiment his son wore, and said: The smell of my son is as the smell of a field which YHVH hath blessed 
And being thus pacified, Isaac said: Bring the meat near to me, and I will eat of the venison of my son, I shall bless thee, giving thee a blessing from my very soul unto thy soul. 
¶ And Jacob brought the meat near to his father, and Isaac did eat; and Jacob brought him wine, and Isaac drank. 
And Isaac blessed his son, saying: Ha’Elohim give unto thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and an abundance of grains and wines; 
And many tribes shall serve thee, and nations bow down before thee; and thou shall be a lord over thy brethren, and even the sons of thy mother shall bow down to thee and thy seed; 
And unto those that would curse thee and thy seed shall be accursed, and to those that would bless thee and thy seed shall come a blessing; 
And unto thee I do give the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever thou shall bind on the earth shall be bound in the heavens, and whatever thou loose upon earth shall be loosed in the heavens. 
¶ And it came to pass that Esau, the brother of Jacob, came in from his hunting soon after Isaac did finish blessing Jacob. 
And Esau also had made a savory meat, and did bring it unto his father, and said unto Isaac: Let my father arise and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me. 
And his father, Isaac, did say unto him: Who art thou? 
And Esau answered him, saying: I am thy son, Esau, thy firstborn. 
And Isaac trembled very exceedingly and said: Who was it then that had hunted the game, and brought it to me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest? For I did eat and have blessed him; and indeed, he shall be blessed, for this was the will of YHVH in all things. 
And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry and said unto his father: Bless me, even me also, O my father! 
And Isaac was saddened and said unto his first born: Thy brother came with subtlety and hath taken away thy blessing, as I knew he should, but in my heart I wished it not so; 
Yet the will of YHVH has been done, despite the selfish desires of my flesh. 
And Esau said in his bitterness: Is not he rightly named Jacob? For he hath supplanted me these two times: He took away my birthright; and behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. 
And then unto his father he pleaded: Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me? 
And Isaac answered his son and said unto Esau: Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him. 
And what shall I do now unto thee, my son? 
And Esau lifted up his voice and wept before his father, saying: Hast thou but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father. 
And Isaac, his father, answered and blessed him, saying: Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth and of the dew of heaven from above; and by thy sword shalt thou live and shalt serve thy brother; 
And it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.

Chapter 39

The Ladder

And it came to pass that because Jacob had taken the birthright, and the holy garments, and the blessing from Esau that Esau hated Jacob; 
And because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him, Esau said in his heart: The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob. 
And these words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah by the angel of YHVH, and she sent and called Jacob, her younger son. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Rebekah did see Jacob, she did say unto him: Surely Esau, thy brother, doth comfort his pity by plotting to kill thee! 
Now, therefore, my son, obey my voice and arise; flee thou to Laban, my brother, to Haran, and tarry with him a few days, until the fury of thy brother subsides; 
For in time shall the anger of thy brother turn away from thee, and he shall forget that which thou hast done to him; then I will send and fetch thee from thence. 
¶ And it came to pass that Rebekah went unto her husband, Isaac, saying: I am dreading to my very life that my son might take to marriage of the daughters of Heth; 
If Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life be unto me? 
For have I not taught my sons of YHVH? and these women worship the elohim made of the hands of men. 
And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, saying unto him: Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan as thy brother Esau hath done. 
Arise, go to Padan-aram, to the house of Bethuel, thy mother's father, and from amongst these take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of thy mother's brother, Laban. 
And Elohim Shaddai shall bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou shall be a great company of people, 
And then shall thou be given of Elohim the blessings of our father, Abraham, to thee and to thy seed with thee, that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which Elohim did give us, being the very seed of Abraham. 
And Isaac sent away Jacob; and he went to Padan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel, the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau. 
¶ And it came to pass that Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob again, sending him away to Padan-aram to take him a wife from thence, 
And that their father had blessed him, commanding him, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan, and that Jacob obeyed their father and mother and was gone to Padan-aram. 
And it came to pass that Esau, seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father, went unto the seed of Ishmael with his wives to take unto himself another wife. 
And it came to pass that Esau took Mahalath, a daughter of Ishmael, a son of Abraham, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife, and she too was not of the Covenant, she being of the seed of Sarah, but not of Abraham as was Isaac, Jacob, and Esau. 
¶ And it came to pass that Jacob went out from Bearsheba and went toward Haran; and when the sun was set he did find a suitable place to tarried all the night; 
And he took a certain stone from the ground, placing it beneath his head for a pillow, and lay down in that place to sleep. 
And it came to pass that he dreamed a dream and beheld a vision: and he saw a ladder set up upon the foundation, stretching from the earth unto the heavens, Yashar-El, even the straight path unto Ha’Elohim; 
And the ladder had ten and twelve steps, making for twenty-two steps in all: 
And three of the ten were Mothers and Fathers from which the wind and the fire of the Spirit, and water with its mercy came out; 
And the other seven of the ten were in duplication, being the seven days and the seven seasons; 
And twelve were the heavens themselves, and were the signs given mankind, and their passions, thrusting forth in all direction. 
And all these were a tree deeply rooted into the earth and stretching upwards into the heavens: 
And the tree was a flame, yet it did not burn; for this was the fire of the judgment, with the very flames rolling to the North and to the South, and sealed unto the East and the West. 
And lo, he did see the malak of Elohim, and even the very Melek Olum ascending and descending the straight path, speaking in the tongues of the cherubim. 
And behold, YHVH stood above, saying: I am Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh, the Creator; YHVH, the Elohim of Abraham, thy father, and the Elohim of Isaac; the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it and to thy seed: 
And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth; and thou shalt spread abroad to the West, and to the East, and to the North, and to the South; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 
Behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee until I have done that which I have spoken to thee. 
¶ And when Jacob awoke from out of his sleep he said: Surely YHVH Elohim is in this place; and I knew it not. 
And he was sore afraid and said: How formidable is this place! This is none other but the house of Elohim, and this place is a gate or portal to the heavens! 
¶ And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the seer or holy stone that he had used for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured special oils upon the top of it. 
And he named that place Bethel, for that place was the house of Ha’Elohim. 
And Jacob on that very spot he made an oath, saying: If Elohim will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and raiment to put on, that I come again to the house of my father in peace, then shall YHVH be my Elohim; 
And where I place this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be built a temple, the House of Elohim, for YHVH and for El Elyon and for Shekinah: 
And of all that Ha’Elohim shall give me, I will surely give a tenth back unto these.

Chapter 40

Given in Marriage

And it came to pass that Jacob continued on his journey until he came into the land of the sons of the east. 
And it came to pass that when he arrived in the land of the sons of the east, Jacob looked and beheld a well in the field; 
And there were three flocks of sheep lying near the well; for the sheep were watered out of that well; and a large stone sat upon the mouth of the well. 
And the shepherds would gather all the flocks here, and they would roll the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the herds, and then roll the stone again upon the mouth of the well. 
And Jacob said unto these shepherds: My brethren, from whence are ye? 
And they replied unto him, saying: From Haran. 
And Jacob asked them: Know ye Laban, the son of Nahor? 
And they replied, saying: Yes, we know him. 
And Jacob asked them: Is he well? 
And they said: He is well; and behold, here cometh Rachel, his daughter, with the sheep. 
And Jacob said: Behold, it is yet high day; neither is it time that the flocks should be gathered together; water ye the sheep, and go, and feed them. 
And they said: We cannot until all the flocks be gathered together and until they roll the stone from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep. 
And while Jacob spoke with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she kept them. 
And it came to pass that when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, the brother of his mother, and their sheep, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the mouth of that well and watered the flock of Laban, the brother of his mother. 
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept; and he told Rachel that he was a kinsman of her father, and that he was the son of Rebekah; and she ran and told her father. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob, the son of his sister, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. 
And Laban looked upon his countenance and said unto him: Surely thou art my bone and my flesh! 
¶ And it came to pass that after Jacob had abode with Laban the space of a month, Laban said unto Jacob: Because thou art my kin, shouldest thou serve me for naught? Tell me, what shall thy reward be? 
And Laban had two daughters; the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel; and Leah was tender-eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well-favored. 
And Jacob loved Rachel and said: I will serve thee seven years for Rachel, thy younger daughter. 
And Laban said unto him: It is better that I give her to thee than that I should give her to another man; abide with me. 
¶ And it came to pass that Jacob served Laban for seven years for Rachel; yet it seemed unto him but a few days for the love he had for her. 
And it came to pass that after seven years, Jacob said unto Laban: Give unto me my wife, for my days of serving thee are fulfilled, and I desire that I should be with her. 
And Laban gathered all the people of the place together and prepared a great feast; but in the evening Laban took Leah, his daughter, and brought her to Jacob; and she went in and lay with him. 
¶ And it came to pass that in the morning, behold, Jacob saw that it was Leah that had been given him. 
And he went unto Laban, saying: What is this thou hast done unto me? Did not I serve with thee for Rachel? Wherefore then hast thou deceived me? 
And Laban said: It is not done in our country, to give the younger daughter before the firstborn; therefore, I pray thee, give her this week, and we will give thee Rachel also if thou will covenant thy service unto me yet other seven years. 
And Jacob did so and fulfilled her week; and Laban gave him Rachel, his daughter, to wife also; and Jacob went in also and lay with Rachel. 
And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah, Zilpah, his handmaid, to be a handmaid for her; and Laban gave to Rachel, his younger daughter, Bilhah, his handmaid, to be her maid.

Chapter 41

The Bounty

And it came to pass that Jacob served Laban yet seven more years, as he had covenanted for Rachel; and Jacob loved Rachel more than Leah. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH opened the womb of Leah; yet Rachel was left barren: 
And Leah conceived and bore a son; and she called his name Reuben; for she said: Surely YHVH hath looked upon my affliction; now, therefore, my husband will love me. 
¶ And it came to pass that she conceived again, and bore a son, saying: Because YHVH hath heard that I was unloved, therefore I have been given this son also; and she called his name Simeon. 
¶ And it came to pass that she conceived again, and bore a son, saying: Now this time will my husband be joined unto me because I have borne him three sons; wherefore was his name called Levi. 
¶ And she conceived again and bore a son; and she said: Now will I praise YHVH; therefore, she called his name Judah. 
And it came to pass that after this she bore her husband no more sons for a time. 
¶ And when Rachel saw that she could bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister and said unto Jacob: Give me children, or else I shall die! 
And the anger of Jacob was kindled against Rachel; and he said: Am I in the place of Elohim, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb? 
And she said unto her husband: Behold my handmaid Bilhah; go in and lie with her; and she shall bear thy seed, that I may also have children by her. 
¶ And it came to pass that Rachel gave Jacob Bilhah, her handmaid, to wife; and Jacob went and lay with her; and Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son. 
And Rachel said: Elohim hath judged my case, and hath heard my voice, and hath given me a son; wherefore she called his name Dan. 
¶ And it came to pass that Bilhah, the handmaid of Rachel, conceived again and bore Jacob a second son; and Rachel said: With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed; and she called his name Naphtali. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Leah saw that she was not bearing, she took Zilpah, her handmaid, and gave her unto Jacob to wife. 
¶ And it came to pass that Zilpah bore Jacob a son; and Leah said: A troop cometh; and they called his name Gad. 
¶ And it came to pass that Zilpah bore Jacob a second son; and Leah said: Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed; and they called his name Asher. 
¶ And it came to pass that Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. 
Then Rachel said to Leah: Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes. 
And Leah said unto her: Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? And wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? 
And Rachel said: Therefore, he shall lie with thee tonight for the mandrakes of thy son. 
And Jacob came out of the field in the evening; and Leah went out to meet him and said: Thou must come in and lie with me; for surely I have hired thee with the mandrakes of my son. 
And Jacob lay with Leah, his first wife, that night; and God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob the fifth son. 
And it came to pass that Leah said: God hath given me my hire because I have given my handmaid to my husband; and she called his name Issachar. 
¶ And it came to pass that Leah conceived again and bore Jacob the sixth son; and Leah said: Elohim hath endowed me with a good dowry; 
Now will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons; and she called his name Zebulun. 
¶ And it came to pass that afterwards she bore a daughter and called her name Dinah. 
¶ And it came to pass that Elohim remembered Rachel, and hearkened to her and opened her womb; and she conceived, and bore a son, and said: Elohim hath taken away my shame! 
And she called his name Joseph, and it is this same Joseph, even our very father, that should be sent by YHVH unto Egypt and that should save Israel, the people of YHVH; and this is the record of his people, even unto this day.

Chapter 42

Flocks and Flight

And it came to pass that when Rachel had borne our father, Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban: Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place and to my country. 
And give unto me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go; for thou knowest my service which I have done thee. 
And Laban spoke unto him, saying: I pray thee, if I have found favor in thine eyes, tarry; for I have seen that YHVH hath blessed me for thy sake; therefore appoint me thy wages, and I will give it. 
And Jacob said unto him: Thou knowest how I have served thee and how thy flocks were with me, for it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and Ha’Elohim hath blessed thee since my coming. 
And now, behold, when shall I provide for mine own house also? 
And Laban asked again: What shall I give thee? 
And Jacob answered him, saying: Thou shalt not give me anything; if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock. 
I will pass through all thy flock today, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and of such shall be my hire. 
So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come when it shall come for my hire before thy face; 
And every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted as thine. 
And Laban covenanted with him, saying: Behold, I would it might be according to thy word. 
And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstreaked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons. 
And Laban set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob; and Jacob fed the rest of the flocks of Laban. 
¶ And it came to pass that Jacob took him rods of green poplar and of the hazel and chestnut tree, and pilled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods. 
And he prayed over the rods, blessing them as to make them holy, and set the rods before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they that came to drink should conceive in abundance. 
¶ And it came to pass that the flocks that came before the rods, these did conceive, and they brought forth cattle ringstreaked, speckled, and spotted, even as he had prayed. 
And Jacob did separate the lambs and set the faces of the flocks toward the ring-streaked and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves and put them not unto the herds of Laban. 
¶ And it came to pass that whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods that had been blessed of the power of YHVH before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods. 
But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in; and so it was that the feebler were beloging to Laban, and the stronger to Jacob; 
And because of this, Jacob increased exceedingly and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and sheep, and camels, and asses. 
¶ And it came to pass that Jacob heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying: Jacob hath taken away all that was belonging to our father; and of that which was once beloning to our father hath he gotten all this glory. 
And thus did Jacob behold that the righteous countenance of Laban had fallen, and behold, it was not towards Jacob anymore. 
And the angel of YHVH came unto Jacob, saying: Return unto the land of thy fathers and to thy kindred; and YHVH will be with thee. 
And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock, and he said unto them: I see that your father's countenance as fallen, that it is not toward me as before; but the Elohim of my father hath been with me: 
And ye know that with all my power I have served your father, and your father hath deceived me and changed my wages ten times; but Elohim has intervened that he could not hurt me. 
And if he said thus: The speckled shall be thy wages, then all the cattle bare speckled; and if he said thus: The ringstreaked shall be thy hire, then bare all the cattle ring-streaked; and even so Elohim hath taken away the cattle of your father and given them to me. 
And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes and saw in a dream; and lo, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were all ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled. 
And the angel of Ha’Elohim spoke unto me in a dream, saying: Jacob! 
And I said: Here am I. 
And the angel said: Lift up now thine eyes and see, for all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled; for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee. 
I have been sent by Ha’El of Bethel, where thou anointed the pillar and where thou vowed a vow unto YHVH; now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred. 
¶ And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him: Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in the house of our father? Are we not counted of him strangers? 
For our father hath sold us and hath quite devoured also our dowry; and all the riches which Elohim hath taken from our father was to be ours and for our children; 
Therefore, whatsoever Ha’Elohim hath said unto thee thou must do, and we, thy wives, are with thee, our husband. 
Then Jacob rose up and set his sons and his wives upon camels; and he carried away all his cattle and all his goods which he had gotten; the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padan-aram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.

Chapter 43

A Covenant of Peace

And it came to pass that when Laban went out to shear his sheep he saw that some of the elohim made by the hands of man were gone, for so it was that Rachel had stolen the images that did belong to her father; 
And he saw too that Jacob had snuck away while Laban was unaware, in that he told him not that he intended to flee. 
And Jacob and his family and their people fled with all that they had, all that belonged to them, and the idols Rachel had taken unaware to Jacob and Laban. 
And seeing this, it came to pass that on the third day after Jacob had fled, Laban rose up, and he took his kinsmen with him and pursued after Jacob; 
And they passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead, and it came to pass that after seven days' journey, and they overtook him in the mount Gilead. 
But behold, in that very same night, the fear of Elohim came to Laban in a dream, saying unto him: Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. 
¶ And now it came to pass that the next morning, Laban overtook Jacob. 
And Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount; and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead. 
And Laban said to Jacob: What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me and carried away my daughters as captives taken with the sword? 
Why didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me, and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tambourine, and with harp? 
And why hast thou not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Thou hast now done foolishly in so doing. 
It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt; but the Elohim of thy father spoke unto me yesternight, saying: Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. 
And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods? 
And Jacob answered and said to Laban: It was because I was afraid; for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me. 
With whomsoever thou findest thy elohim, let him not live; before our kinsmen discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. 
And Jacob said this thinking nothing had been taken falsely from Laban, for he knew not that Rachel had stolen the idols hoping that she should bear her husband more sons. 
¶ And Laban went first into the tent of Jacob, and then into the tent of Zilpah, and into the tent of Bilhah, and into the tent of Leah; but he found them not. 
And then, when he had gone out of the tent of Leah, he entered into the tent of Rachel; and Rachel, who had taken the images and put them in the saddle of a camel and sat upon them. 
And she said to her father: Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. 
And Laban searched all the tent save it be where she sat but he found them not. 
And he searched all over and roundabout the camp, but he found not the images. 
¶ And Jacob was angry and rebuked Laban, saying: What is my trespass? What is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me? 
And see now that thou hast searched all my things, and what hast thou found of all thy household? Set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both. 
This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten. 
That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night. 
Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes. 
Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters and six years for thy cattle; and thou hast changed my wages ten times. 
Except the Elohim of my father, the Elohim of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. 
Ha’Elohim hath seen my affliction and the labor of my hands and rebuked thee yesternight. 
¶ And Laban answered and said unto Jacob: These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine; 
And what can I do this day unto these, my daughters, or unto their children, which they have borne? 
Now, therefore, come thou; let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee. 
And Jacob took a stone and set it up for a pillar. 
And Jacob said unto their kinsmen: Gather stones; and they took stones and made a pillar; and they did eat there upon the it. 
And Laban called it Yegar Sahadutha; but Jacob called it Galed. 
¶ And Laban said: This mound shall be a witness between me and thee this day; 
And the name of it is also the Watchtower, Mitspah, for Laban said: YHVH watch between me and thee when we are absent one from another; 
But if thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, Elohim is witness betwixt me and thee: 
Behold this pillar, which I have cast between me and thee; it is a witness that I will not pass over this mound to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this pillar unto me for harm; 
The Elohim of Abraham, and the Elohim of Nahor, the Elohim of their father, judge betwixt us. 
¶ And Jacob swore by the fear of the Elohim of his father, Isaac. 
And then Jacob offered a sacrifice upon the mount and called his brethren to eat bread; and they did eat bread and tarried all night in the mount. 
And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and then Laban departed and returned unto his home.

Chapter 44

Angels, Israel, and Esau

And it came to pass that after Jacob had gone on his way from Galed that the malakim of Elohim met him. 
And when Jacob saw them, he said: Herein dwell the hosts of Elohim. 
And he called the name of that place Machanayim, for he saw that it was a bridge joining the two worlds: the heavens and the earth, and that he and his people were protected by the hand of Ha’Elohim. 
¶ And Jacob, in knowing this, he did send messengers before him to Esau, his brother, unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom. 
And he commanded them, saying: Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau: Thy servant Jacob saith thus: I have sojourned with Laban and stayed there until now; 
And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and women servants; and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight. 
¶ And it came to pass that the messengers returned unto Jacob, saying: We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him. 
Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands. 
¶ And after this Jacob said: If Esau comes to the one company and smites them, then the other company which is left shall escape. 
And then Jacob did pray aloud, saying: O Elohim of my father Abraham, and Elohim of my father Isaac; YHVH, which did say unto me: Return unto thy country and to thy kindred, and I will be good by thee: 
Yet I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all the truth which thou hast showed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this, and now I am become two bands. 
Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, even from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me and the mothers with their children. 
And for a surety thou hath said: I will surely do thee good and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude. 
¶ And he lodged there that same night and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau, his brother: 
Two hundred she goats and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams, 
Thirty milking camels with their colts, forty heifers and ten bulls, twenty she asses and ten foals. 
And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves, and said unto his servants: Pass over before me and put a space between the droves. 
And he commanded the foremost, saying: When Esau, my brother, shall meet thee and ask thee, saying: Whose art thou? And whither goest thou? And whose are these before thee? 
Then thou shalt say: They belongeth to Jacob, thy servant; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau; and behold, also he is behind us. 
And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying: On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau when ye find him. 
And say ye, moreover: Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. 
For he said: I will appease him with the present that shall go before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept me. 
¶ So went the present over before him; and he himself slept that night in the company. 
And he rose up that night and took his wives and his children, and these passed over the ford of Yabboq; and he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent them over with that which he had. 
And then it was that Jacob was left alone.

Chapter 45

Adam who is not Adam

And it came to pass that there came unto him a man who was not a man, and he sat and spoke to Jacob all the night; 
And Jacob wrestled with himself over the things he had done, for both good and evil, until the breaking of the day, for he feared that death would come to him by the hand of his brother, Esau. 
And when the man who was not a man saw that he prevailed not towards Jacob, he touched the hollow of his own thigh; and the hollow of the thigh of Jacob was out of joint as he wrestled with himself, and he was awakened by the pain of it. 
¶ And he who was a man but not a man said: And now I must go, for the day breaketh. 
But Jacob implored him, saying: I cannot let thee go from before me, except thou bless me. 
And he asked him: What is thy name, I pray thee? 
And he replied unto him: Jacob. 
And he who is a man but not a man blessed him, saying: Thy new name shall be Israel; for thou hast struggled with Ha’Elohim and with men and have been given power of both; 
And thy children shall too be called such so long as they stay upon my straight path; 
For the righteous are blessed and they are those to whom the Holy One shall cause to see visions and to dream dreams; 
Therefore, be wise and know that in dreams Adam is forewarned and preserved from judgments and calamities, for the soul may speak to the flesh in the time of sleep. 
¶ And Jacob asked him: Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. 
And he who is a man but is not a man said: Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? But it is Ben Ahman, the very Son of Ahman. 
And there in that place where Ben Ahman did bless him, Jacob called the name of it Penuel, saying: I have seen Elohim face to face, and my life is preserved. 
¶ And as Jacob passed over Penuel, the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh. 
And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked; and behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. 
And Jacob had divided the children unto his wives, their mothers: unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto Bilhah, and unto Zilpah. 
And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph, even our father, hindermost to keep them safe. 
And Jacob passed over before them and bowed himself to the ground seven times until he came near to his brother. 
¶ And it came to pass that Esau ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they wept. 
And Esau lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children, and said: Who are these with thee? 
And Jacob answered him, saying: The children which Ha’Elohim hath graciously given thy servant. 
Then the two wives of Jacob that had been given him of Rachel and Leah came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves. 
And Leah also with her children came near and bowed themselves; and after came our humble father, Joseph, and our mother, Rachel; and they bowed themselves. 
¶ And Esau asked him: What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? 
And Jacob said: These are to find grace in the sight of my lord. 
And Esau said: I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself. 
And Jacob replied, saying: Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive these, my gifts at my hand; for when I saw the face of Elohim, my only request was to know that thou wast pleased with me. 
And Esau accepted the gifts, and offered unto Jacob gifts also, saying: Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee because Elohim hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough; and Esau urged him, and Jacob took it. 
¶ And Esau said: Behold, our father doth yet live; therefore, let us take our journey together unto him; yea, let us go and I will go before thee. 
And Jacob said unto him: My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me; and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die. 
Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant; and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord again. 
And Esau said: Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. 
And Jacob said: What needeth it? Let me find grace in the sight of my lord. 
And so Esau returned that day on his way, leaving his brother and went not unto their father.

Chapter 46

The Gift or The Endowment

And it came to pass that Jacob journeyed with his people unto Isaac, his father, unto that place where Abraham and Isaac sojourned. 
¶ And it came to pass that Isaac, his father, met Jacob and his wives there and he blessed them. 
And Isaac endowed Jacob and his wives with the very power Melchizedek had given Abraham, and Abraham had given Isaac. 
And blessing him, Isaac said: Thy name is Jacob; thy new name shall be Israel; and this shall be given thee for a sign and token that all might know the peoples of YHVH Elohim. 
And Isaac blessed him further, saying: Elohim Shaddai shall bless thee; therefore, be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come from out of thy loins; 
And the endowment which YHVH Elohim gave thy fathers Abraham and Isaac, to thee will it be given, and to thy seed after thee shall be given the land, as they are worthy of it. 
And these gifts shall be of great worth because they are from the very foundation of the Torah of Elohim YHVH, and by the Torah are all things governed; 
As mankind is willing to learn the Torah, the world shall endure, therefore observe the trees at the evening of the day, and the dawn of the morn: 
And this is when Shekinah shall love thee and this is when Ruach HaKodesh might place thee in the garden of Eden of the very heavens, to converse with thee in righteousness. 
And all the trees in the grove of Shekinah rejoice and chant their praises to the glory of Her, and of Her Husband, and of their Son, the Yachad Yachid Echad: 
And there is one Elohim above all, and YHVH shall wear the crown in the day that death shall be defeated. 
And one is below all these things, and seeks to destroy the soul of mankind, even as it is born of the flesh and spirit in the Mercy of YHVH Elohim. 
And there is one that shall stand between the two; the Ruach HaKodesh that stands between the soul and spirit to pass Judgment on mankind. 
And through the Judgment two beget a third, the soul is born and lives to love the Eternal Torah of Ha’Elohim. 
And the spirit and the flesh and the soul, these three become one man or one woman; and this one is thus belonging to the kingdom of YHVH Elohim; 
And as one, Adam made whole, shines forth the divine light of life. 
And through the light that is poured out the visible heavens and the earth are again united: 
One becomes two, which becomes three, which are one, shining in all six directions, rising in twelve, reaching the heavens. 
And from twelve become twenty-four, yet only twenty-two are seen by mankind; and in these were all things created by Ha’Elohim. 
Therefore, sleep not my son, for if thou shalt sleep thou will know these things not, for those that sleep are blind to the creation. 
And what shall happen when thou shall be in the presence of the great judge of Ha’Elohim? For all must answer to their deeds. 
And when the flesh shall be taken, the soul shall flee to Ha’Elohim on high, and if the Torah be fulfilled then the gates of heaven remain opened to them. 
¶ And after this, Jacob pondered over all he had seen, and pondered over these things his father, Isaac, had blessed him with: 
And as he did, the angel of YHVH appeared unto him, and made a covenant with him, and kissed his head, and called him by name, calling him: friend. 
And as it is written in the Testament of Jacob, the angel of YHVH completed the covenant with him and with his seed forever, who are all they that believe on YHVH Elohim in righteousness. 
And the Ruach Hakodesh went up from Isaac, and the angel of YHVH looked on. 
¶ And it came to pass that but a few days thence, Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days; and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him; 
And before Isaac died, he had reached the hundred and eightieth degree.

Chapter 47

Life and Death

And now it came to pass that on the morrow the angel of YHVH said unto Jacob: Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there; and make there an altar unto that Elohim that appeared unto thee when thou feared the face of Esau, thy brother. 
Then Jacob said unto his all household and to all that were with him: Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments; 
Let us arise and go up to Bethel; and there I will make an altar unto Ha’Elohim who answered me in the day of my distress and was with me in the way which I went. 
And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hands and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob buried them in an empty and barren field which was near Shechem. 
And they journeyed; and the terror of Ha’Elohim was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob. 
¶ And it came to pass that as they journeyed to Bethel they were but a little way from Ephrath; and Rachel travailed, but she was with child and she had great difficulty in her labor. 
And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife, Deborah, said unto her: Fear not; thou shalt have this son also. 
And it came to pass, as her soul was departing, that she called his name Ben-oni; but his father called his name Benjamin. 
And Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath; and Jacob wept and set a pillar upon her grave. 
¶ And it came to pass that Jacob came to Bethel, he and all the people that were with him. 
And there he built an altar and called the place El-Bethel because there Ha’Elohim appeared unto him when he fled from the face of his brother. 
¶ And it came to pass that Deborah, the nurse of Rebekah, died; and she was buried in Bethel under an oak, for she had been a mighty woman of YHVH and a servant of Shekinah; 
And in the grove near the tree the women built a dwelling place for to honor Her, the Shekinah, and planted walnuts and certain flowers; and they did dance all around it. 
And Jacob set up a pillar in that same grove, in the place where he talked with Ben Ahman, even a pillar of stone; and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon. 
And in these things which they did, both the men and the women; and YHVH Elohim was pleased. 
¶ And Jacob called the name of the place where Elohim spoke with him Bethel. 
And there, at the altar, Jacob blessed his wife, Leah, with the same endowments he had been given; and she his other wives each in turn, and Dinah, the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob. 
And so to did Jacob bless their sons, even as they came of age, and each was given their endowments in turn. 
¶ And now, the sons of Leah were: Reuben, the firstborn of Jacob, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun; 
And the sons of Rachel were: Joseph, our father, and Benjamin; 
And the sons of Bilhah were: Dan and Naphtali; 
And the sons of Zilpah were: Gad and Asher. 
And these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him and his wives. 
¶ And it came to pass that Jacob took his wives, all but Rachel who he had buried, and his children and his people and all that they possessed and journeyed to Sukkoth. 
And there he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, the father of Shechem; and he erected there an altar and called it El’Elohim’Ysrael. 
And he built him a house, and made booths for his cattle; therefore, the name of the place is called Sukkoth.

2 Sefer Moses

The Book of Joseph

The record of our father, Joseph, son of Jacob and Rachel, savior of Israel as written by the hand of Moses.

Chapter 1

The Birth of Two Nations

And this is the remembrance of the generations of Joseph, the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham; which account was written by the hand of Moses by the Word of YHVH: 
And it came to pass that as Rachel, the wife of Jacob, went drawing water from the well, the angel of YHVH came before her saying: Fear not handmaiden of YHVH, for thou are a chosen vessel to bear a choice branch unto YHVH. 
And Rachel said unto the angel of YHVH: I know not what you say, my Lord. 
And the angel said unto her: Jacob, thy husband, shall be a tree of life reaching unto all the earth; yea, and over the high walls shall his branches reach, even unto the isles of the sea which are afar off; 
And his seed shall rule all lands and trample down all people, for YHVH, Elohim Shaddai shall make strong his seed. 
Rachel, see that thy reproach is taken away from thee; and thou shalt bare a son, and thou shalt call his name Joseph; 
For YHVH, the Elohim of you and of your seed, shall make of him two great nations, yea, even mighty nations before YHVH. 
¶ And after she had seen and heard these things, Rachel ran down unto her husband Jacob and said unto him: YHVH hath taken away my reproach, and hath opened up my womb, 
And I shall bare thee a son, which we shall call Joseph, and he shall be two great and mighty nations before YHVH! 
¶ And when Jacob heard he knew not what to think, but he went and did make and offering unto YHVH. 
Then Jacob cried out, saying: O YHVH Elohim, yea, even El Elyon, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, surely through my seed shall Ye show Thyself faithful of the promises made unto my fathers! 
And YHVH did hear Jacob, and the angel of YHVH did appeared unto Jacob over the offering saying: Jacob, Jacob, YHVH is well pleased with thee! 
Thou shall be given a son, and ye shall call his name Joseph, for he shall be a great and mighty nation before YHVH; 
And out of the loins of thy son, Joseph, shall YHVH bring many sons and daughters into His glory, and salvation unto many of thy seed and all of the seed of thy father, Abraham. 
¶ And it came to pass that Rachel did bring forth a son, and they called his name Joseph. 
And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH appeared unto Jacob in a dream saying: Jacob, thy son Joseph shall be two great and mighty nations in the hand of YHVH; 
And these nations shall be greater than any nations upon the face of the earth; and yet only a remnant shall see my face and live. 
Behold, wisdom shall increase in the latter days and mankind shall make mighty weapons of war; yea, even terrible weapons which shall touch the power of El Elyon; 
And the seed of Joseph shall believe a lie, even that the terrible weapons shall be had for to make peace, and for the protection of their lands; 
And woe unto them, for the people shall be deceived! 
¶ And then Jacob awoke, and the spirit of YHVH took Jacob, and showed unto him a vision, saying: Behold, the mighty men of the earth shall lay an awful scheme by the word of their god; 
Yea, even that they should destroy YHVH in that day that He shall visit mankind to judge the sons of men and reward them according to their works. 
And all nations shall gather as one in the heart of the earth to make war with YHVH, even the almighty King of the heavens and of the earth. 
Woe, woe, woe unto the chief princes of the earth, who have made gold their god and a lie their refuge! 
For they have said among themselves: YHVH is no god that we should fear; for by our mighty power have we become gods ourselves and have spread abroad over all of the earth! 
Yet they shall be judged and cut off from among the sons of Jacob, sayeth YHVH, for the wicked plot in vain. 
And they shall drink from the cup of vanity which they have grasped: for I, YHVH, shall utterly destroy them all by the very light of my presence. 
And lo, those who plot in vain have over them a king; even he whose name is the liar from the beginning, even that Adversary, he who was a morning star in my presence. 
But this Satan shall be bound, that accuser; even he who has granted them their great authority; 
And so too shall Lilith, that serpent that giveth them their crowns and who hath whispered lies into their ears like a cunning serpent which lieth in the dust. 
And YHVH shall come and bind them with cords which cannot be loosed, and seal them up with a seal which cannot be broken; 
For these have led them astray by their foolish wisdom, which has become folly in the sight of heaven. 
Woe unto them! For they have tried to lay waste to Eden, the very garden of Elohim, and made the inhabitants of the earth to stumble exceedingly, causing them to be drunk from the cup of blindness, and to feast from the table of their rebellion; 
Therefore, comfort thyselves with these words, my beloved Israel, for verily, I, YHVH, reign supreme over all elohim and shall swiftly bring justice which cannot be overthrown. 
And Jacob was astonished at all YHVH had shown him: for weak was his understanding, and without strength was his soul in the presence of YHVH.

Chapter 2

The Dreamer of Dreams

And it came to pass that Joseph, the son of Rachel and Jacob, grew in stature; and Joseph was a peculiar child, full of knowledge and wisdom. 
And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH appeared unto Jacob saying: Make a tunic for thy son Joseph, and place on it the holy emblems of the priesthood of YHVH, thy Elohim. 
And thou shall lay thy hands upon him and ordain him to be a High Priest unto El Elyon; and instruct him in the hidden wisdom of YHVH; 
Yea, even the hidden treasures of knowledge, which have been known among your fathers, as given unto thy father Abraham, and thy mother Sarah of my servant Melchizedek; 
For I shall cause thy son Joseph to go down into a land full of idolatry and iniquity, and there I shall cause him to be a messiah among the people for the sake of thy seed. 
And he shall bare the power of El Elyon, and he shall become a mighty ruler among them. 
And through him shall I, YHVH, bless whomsoever he shall bless, and curse whomsoever he shall curse; for my name shall be in him; 
And great shall be his name in that land; wherefore, their king shall know that he is Tzadik Yachad. 
And behold, he shall seal up the blessings of the Holy Priesthood for the generations which are afar off: 
That Elyon may have witness for Himself in the last days, before the great and final day when YHVH himself shall come and reward the sons of men according to their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil; even so must it be, Amen. 
¶ And it came to pass that Jacob made a tunic, even a coat of many colors, according to the Word of YHVH, and he placed it upon his son Joseph. 
And Jacob did bless him with all of the hidden blessings of wisdom instructed him in the secret knowledge of YHVH, whereunto Joseph should be a High Priest of El Elyon, even at a young age. 
¶ And it came to pass that Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father did reside, even the land of Canaan. 
Now Jacob loved Joseph, the son of his old age; and when his brethren saw that their father had ordained him a High Priest of YHVH and made him a coat of many colors, they hated him and could not speak peaceably unto him. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren; and they hated him yet the more. 
And he said unto them: Hear, I pray ye, this dream which I have dreamed; 
For behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and lo, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves stood round about and made obedience unto my sheaf. 
And his brethren said to him: Shalt thou indeed reign over us? Which is to say: Shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? 
And they hated him yet the more for his dreams and for his words. 
¶ And it came to pass that he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said: Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; 
And behold, the sun, and the moon, and the eleven stars made obedience unto me. 
And he told it unto his father and to his mother, and unto his brethren, and their sister; 
And his father rebuked him and said unto him: What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? 
Shall I, and thy mother, and thy brethren, indeed, come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? 
But once Joseph departed, Jacob turned unto his other sons, and rebuked them saying: Joseph is a chosen vessel whom YHVH hath chosen, and it is according to His purposes. 
And: Who are you that you dare accuse El Elyon? Truly, YHVH hath chosen him for His own purposes and ye shall well abide under it, for this is the Word of YHVH. 
And when Jacob had finished speaking, his sons murmured among themselves; and his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying. 
¶ And it came to pass that his brethren went to feed the flock of their father in Shechem. 
And Joseph, being but fourteen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives. 
And it came to pass that they did mock Joseph, their brother, and placed a heavy burden upon him that he might know their displeasure. 
And Joseph left them, and they mocked as he went his way; and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report. 
And repenting, Jacob came again unto his son, Joseph saying: Fear not my son, as YHVH hath decreed His decree, thou shall be a prince over me and all my house: 
Yet pride has filled thy heart; therefore, let no boasting be found at all in thy mouth, yea, neither in thy heart, lest thou fall under condemnation: 
For YHVH Elohim hateth a proud and boastful heart; yea, and thou did come into this world naked, and thou shall leave it naked; 
Wherefore, remember this, my son: YHVH exalts whom He will, and YHVH abases whom He will; 
Therefore, thou shall keep thy heart humble before El Elyon all the days of thy life. 
And Joseph was pierced in his heart and dared not open his mouth to ever boast again.

Chapter 3

Brothers against Brother

And it came to pass that Jacob said unto Joseph: Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send thee unto them. 
And Joseph said unto him: Here am I. 
And Jacob said unto Joseph: Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. 
And thus did Jacob send Joseph out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem. 
¶ And a certain man found him, and behold, there he was wandering in the field; and the man asked him, saying: What seekest thou? 
And Joseph said: I seek my brethren; tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks. 
And the man said: They are departed hence; for I heard them say: Let us go to Dothan. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joseph went after his brethren and found them in Dothan. 
And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him, to slay him. 
And they said one to another: Behold, this dreamer cometh! Come now, therefore, and let us slay him and cast him into some pit; 
And we will say: Some evil beast hath devoured him, and we shall see what will become of his dreams. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Joseph approached his brethren they made as to worship him and mocked him, saying: Have mercy on us O king! Save us, O mighty one! 
And they seized upon Joseph, and Dan drew his sword as to kill him and thrust it into the side of Joseph, yet it pierced not his flesh; and they were all astonished. 
And Reuben heard it; and he delivered him out of their hands and said: Let us not kill him. 
And Reuben said unto them: Truly, YHVH hath chosen him, and the power of Elyon dwells with him; 
Therefore, shed not his blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and we shall lay no hand upon him, that we might rid him out of our hands, to deliver him to our father again. 
¶ And it came to pass that they stripped Joseph out of his tunic, his coat of many colors that was on him; and they took him and cast him into a pit; 
And the pit was empty; for there was no water in it. 
And they sat down to eat bread; and they lifted up their eyes and looked; and behold, a company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead, with their camels bearing spicery, and balm, and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt. 
And Judah said unto his brethren: What profit is it if we slay our brother and conceal his blood? 
Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh; and his brethren were content. 
Then there passed by the Midianites, merchantmen; and the brothers of Joseph drew him up and lifted Joseph out of the pit and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver; and these merchantmen brought Joseph into Egypt. 
¶ And it came to pass that Reuben returned to the pit; and behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes, 
And he returned unto his brethren, and said: The child is not; and I, whither shall I go? 
And they took the coat of Joseph, and killed a kid of the goats, and they dipped the coat in the blood; 
And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said: This have we found; know now whether it be the coat of thy son or no. 
And Jacob knew it and said: It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces. 
And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days. 
And all the sons and all the daughters of Jacob rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted. 
And Jacob said: I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning; and so did Jacob, his father, weep for him.

Chapter 4

Israel in Bondage

And it came to pass that after the band of Midianites had departed, the chief of the Midianites, whose name was Chanoch said unto Joseph: I see a great evil hath befallen thee; and by what means then doth thy brethren hateth thee so? 
And Joseph said unto him: It mattereth not, but know that I shall honor the word of my kin, for I shall serve thee all the days of my life for it is the will of El Elyon that I should go with you. 
And Chanoch replied saying: So shall it be. 
And Joseph spoke again unto Chanoch saying: But I pray thee, go unto the house of my Father, Jacob, and tell my father where thou shall take me, that he worry not for my safety, and that he shall see for himself that I am gone willingly. 
For the angel of YHVH had come unto Joseph whilst he was in the pit and said unto him: Joseph, I have heard thy murmurings and witnessed thy afflictions, I saw thy tears, and I know thy misery. 
And I am grieved for thy sake, and thy affliction is added to the burden of my afflictions; 
Therefore, put thy trust in El Elyon, and fear not, for YHVH is with thee, and shall deliver thee from all evil. 
And now, behold, thou shall go down into Egypt with thy masters; but fear not, for YHVH is with thee. 
And now, thou art a High Priest of El Elyon, and thou shall become a mighty ruler among the Egyptians. 
And I say unto thee that YHVH shall bless whomsoever thou shall bless, and curse whomsoever thou shall curse for HaShem shall be in thee. 
And great shall be thy name in the land; wherefore Pharaoh shall know that thou art a prince of Elohim. 
And many other things did the angel of YHVH say unto Joseph; therefore, he feared not but put his faith in YHVH Elohim. 
¶ And it came to pass that Chanoch now feared that the brothers of Joseph had tricked him, and he feared reprisal from their father Jacob; 
Therefore, Chanoch did command one of his sons to take a servant and go to Jacob, that Jacob might know that which had befallen his son, Joseph. 
¶ And it came to pass that when they came unto the house of Jacob, that they saw that Jacob wept bitterly; 
And the son for Chanoch and his servant fled the house of Jacob, without fulfilling their obligation. 
But the son of Chanoch had snuck in and had taken the coat of Joseph, for he was thought to be a beggar and mercy was given him; 
And he folded it up in a cloth and gave it unto the servant of Chanoch. 
And he came unto the servant, saying: We shall deliver back into Joseph this tunic that he shall believe all to be well with the house of his father and the house of my father; for surely El Elyon has ordained it so. 
And the servant of Chanoch said: Surely my lord, I shall do it. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joseph rejoiced that his coat of many colors was returned unto him, 
And, thinking his father knew that he was alive, he said: O mother, mother, didst thou offer my petition unto YHVH? (For his mother was no longer alive upon the earth). 
Didst thou take pity on me, she that bore me? 
Arise, and come forth from the throne of YHVH, yea come forth and see thy son that hath been sold into slavery, for thou hath taken pity upon me. 
Arise, see thy son, and weep not over my misfortune; for YHVH observes me and hath set me apart from my brethren. 
Arise, and accuse not my brethren before El Elyon, but see that YHVH hath justified this thing, and it is my path, and I shall stand with YHVH for all the days of my life. 
And the servant of Chanoch was amazed and said: Surely this is true, and El Elyon is with him, and if YHVH be with him, then with my master also.

Chapter 5

Joseph in Egypt

And it came to pass that the Midianites sold Joseph into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard; 
And thus we see the Word of YHVH must be heard, for it was even as the father of Joseph saw in a vision, that Joseph should be taken and placed in a land of idolatry. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian. 
And Joseph found grace in the site of Potiphar, for he did see that Joseph had become a stout man and full of knowledge and wisdom. 
And so it was that Potiphar made Joseph the overseer over his whole house, and all that Potiphar had he put into the hand of Joseph; and Joseph served Potiphar well. 
And YHVH did greatly bless the house of Potiphar on account of Joseph, and his master saw that YHVH was with him and that YHVH made all that he did to prosper in his hand. 
¶ And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house and over all that he had, that YHVH blessed the house of the Egyptian for the sake of Joseph; and the blessing of YHVH was upon all that he had in the house and in the field. 
And it came to pass that Potiphar did leave all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not what he had, save the bread which he did eat. 
And it came to pass that Joseph was a goodly person and well favored. 
¶ And it came to pass after these things, that the wife of the master of Joseph did cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said: Lie with me. 
But Joseph refused her and said unto the wife of his master: I shall surely not lie with thee, for I have made an oath unto thy husband; who art thou to tempt YHVH? 
Behold, my master knoweth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand; 
There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife; 
How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against Elohim? 
¶ And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her or to be with her. 
And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within. 
And she caught him by his garment, saying: Lie with me; and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out. 
¶ And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and was fled forth, that she called unto the men of her house and spoke unto them, saying: 
See, he hath brought in a Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice; 
And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out. 
¶ And it came to pass that she laid up his garment by her until his lord came home; 
And then it was that she spoke unto him according to these words, saying: The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to caress me; 
And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me and fled out. 
¶ And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke unto him, saying: After this manner did thy servant to me, that his wrath was kindled. 
And it came to pass that Potiphar commanded his slaves to seek after Joseph and deliver him up. 
And when Joseph was delivered unto Potiphar, that he did smite him upon the cheek, saying: I have appointed thee to be the master over my whole house; 
Yea, and there is but only I alone over you: Why therefore hath thou dealt with me in this manner, to bring shame upon my house? 
And Joseph spoke not, that he not lay shame upon the house of his master by shaming the wife of his master. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joseph's master took him and put him into prison, a place where the prisoners of the king were bound; and he was there in the prison. 
But YHVH was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. 
And the keeper of the prison committed in to the hands of Joseph all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the overseer of it. 
And it came to pass that the keeper of the prison looked not to anything that was under Joseph’s hand because YHVH was with him; 
And that which Joseph did, YHVH made it to prosper.

Chapter 6

Joseph in Prison

Now, until the time in which he was taken, Joseph had studied the Torah and all the ways of YHVH, 
And so it was that he had become so learned that he could impart to his brethren all that he had heard from their father, Jacob and his mother, Rachel. 
And it came to pass that he did not stop studying when he was taken, but he was also learned in Egypt that he might give good counsel in the ways of YHVH in the language of the Egyptians. 
And it came to pass that because of this he had become the favorite of the sons of Elohim among these, the sons of man; 
And it was because of this that the handmaids who come to serve the guards would kiss and embrace him, and he had been given charge over all of the other prisoners. 
And it was even as the angel of YHVH had said, for wherever Joseph went, there was he blessed and favored. 
¶ And it came to pass after these things, that the chief cupbearer of the Pharaoh and his cook had offended their lord, who was the king of Egypt. 
And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, yea even against the chief of his cupbearers and against the chief of his cooks. 
And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was kept. 
And the chief guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; and it came to pass that they were kept there for a few days’ time. 
¶ And it came to pass that both the cupbearer and the cook came to dream a dream, both of them; the cupbearer and the cook of the Pharaoh, which were bound in the prison. 
And each man found his dream in the same night, each man understood not the meaning or the interpretation of his dream. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joseph came in unto them in the morning and looked upon them; and behold, they were distraught. 
And Joseph asked the officers of Pharaoh that were with him in the ward of his the house of his master, saying: Wherefore look ye so sadly today? 
And they said unto him: We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. 
And Joseph said unto them: Do not interpretations belong to Ha'Elohim? Tell me then, thy dreams, I pray you. 
¶ And the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph and said to him: In my dream, behold, a vine was before me; 
And in the vine were three branches; and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes; 
And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes and pressed them into the cup of Pharaoh, and I gave the cup into the hand of Pharaoh. 
¶ And Joseph said unto him: This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days; 
Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head and restore thee unto thy place; 
And thou shalt deliver the cup of Pharaoh into his hand after the former manner when thou wast his cupbearer. 
But think on me when it shall be well with thee and show kindness, I pray thee, unto me; and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house; 
For indeed I have come willingly out of the land of the Hebrews; and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon. 
¶ And when the chief cook saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph: I also was in my dream; and behold, I had three white baskets on my head; 
And in the uppermost basket there was all manner of baked goods for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head. 
And Joseph answered and said: This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days; 
Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee. 
¶ And it came to pass the third day, which was birthday of Pharaoh, that he made a feast unto all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and of the chief cook among his servants. 
And he restored the chief cupbearer unto his position again; and he gave the cup into the hand of Pharaoh; 
But he hanged the chief cook, as Joseph had interpreted to them. 
¶ And it came to pass that the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him; and so it was that Joseph staid awhile longer in that prison.

Chapter 7

The Dreams of Pharaoh

And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed a dream; and behold, he stood by the Nile. 
And behold, there came up out of the river seven well-favored cows that were of fatted flesh; and they fed among the reeds. 
And behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the Nile, ill-favored and lean-fleshed, and stood by these first seven cows upon the bank of the Nile. 
And the ill-favored and leanfleshed cows did eat up the seven well-favored and fat cows; and Pharaoh awoke from his dream. 
¶ And it came to pass that Pharaoh slept and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven heads of grain came up upon one stalk, fattened and ripe and good. 
And behold, seven thin heads blasted with the heat of the East wind sprung up after them. 
And the seven thin heads devoured the seven ripe and full heads; and Pharaoh again awoke, and he beheld that it was a dream. 
¶ And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all the wise men thereof; 
And Pharaoh told them his dreams; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh. 
¶ And it came to pass that the chief cupbearer spoke unto Pharaoh, saying: I do remember my faults this day; 
Pharaoh was wroth with his servants and put me in ward in the chief guard's house, both me and thy chief baker; 
And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream. 
And there was there with us a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams, to each man according to his dream he did interpret. 
And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and as to the cook, he was strung up. 
¶ And it came to pass that after this Pharaoh sought to discover this Hebrew and sent his men about to learn what could be made known of him. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Pharaoh was apprised of him, he sent and called for Joseph. 
And the servants of Pharaoh brought him hastily out of the dungeon; and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh. 
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: Why didst thou pretend that thou wast a slave? 
And Joseph looked at Pharaoh in wonder, but said nothing. 
Then came Pharaoh again, saying: We have seen that thou art the son of a powerful man in Canaan, and thy father mourns for thee in sackcloth. 
And Joseph saw that he had been lied to by the son of Chanoch and his servant, and that his father knew not that his son was yet alive. 
And Joseph was sorry in his heart for his the sake of his father, but he kept this in his heart, and he said unto Pharaoh that he was a slave, and that he had left the house of his father willingly. 
Then Pharaoh spoke unto Joseph, saying: Thou are renown in all of Egypt as an interpreter of dreams, and that thy Elohim art with thee. 
And Joseph said: Thou doth speak highly of me, and I am but a slave, yet YHVH is with me, and tell me therefore thy dream that I might make known unto my master, O Pharaoh, the meaning thereof. 
And Pharaoh looked at Joseph, knowing not what to think, but he spoke unto him saying: I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: 
And I have heard it said of thee that thou canst understand this dream to interpret it? 
And thus Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying: It is not in me; for truly, I am but dust and ashes, and there is no wisdom in me; 
Yet the very breath of YHVH, El Elyon who is with me can tell thee the meaning thereof; therefore, Elohim shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace. 
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river; 
And behold, there came up out of the river seven fattened and well-favored cows; and they fed in a meadow of reeds; 
And behold, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ill-favored and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for their sickliness; 
And the lean and the ill-favored cows did eat up the first seven fat cows; 
And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill-favored, as at the beginning; and I awoke. 
And when I slept again, I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain did come up in one stalk, full and good; 
And behold, seven heads, withered, thin, and blasted with the heat of the east wind, sprang up after them; 
And the thin heads devoured the seven good heads; and I told this unto the magicians, but there was none that could declare it to me. 
¶ And Joseph paused and listened for the breath of YHVH within him, and then Joseph said unto Pharaoh: Both of these dreams of Pharaoh is one dream; Ha’Elohim hath showed Pharaoh what shall come to pass. 
The seven good cows are seven years; and the seven good heads are seven years; the dream is one. 
And the seven thin and ill-favored heads of grain that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the heat of the east wind shall be seven years of famine. 
This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What Ha’Elohim is about to do, and Pharaoh hath been warned that he might save his people. 
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt; 
And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land. 
And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous. 
And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because this thing is established by Ha’Elohim, and Ha’Elohim will shortly bring it to pass. 
¶ Now, therefore, let Pharaoh look out a man, discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. 
Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years. 
And let them gather all the food of those good years that come and lay up grains aplenty under the hand of Pharaoh and let them keep food in the cities. 
And that food shall be for a storage to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt, that the land perish not through the famine. 
And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.

Chapter 8

The Mother of Two Nations

And it came to pass that Pharaoh gathered his servants, and told them all that Joseph had said, 
And speaking unto them, Pharaoh said: Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom the Spirit of God is? 
And the servants of Pharaoh murmured amongst themselves saying: What manner of man is this that shall lay his neck out, for if he should fail at his task surely Pharaoh shall put him to death. 
And, thinking themselves wiser than YHVH Elohim, these, the servants of Pharaoh, spoke unto Pharaoh saying: Surely this man Joseph, he who could tell thee thy dream when all the magicians and wisemen in Egypt could not, surely he should do it. 
And Pharaoh saw through their fears but also saw the wisdom in this thing; therefore, he did call again for Joseph. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Joseph came before Pharaoh that he spoke unto Joseph, saying: Forasmuch as Ha’Elohim hath showed thee all this, there is none as discerning and wise as thou art. 
Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled; only in the throne will I be greater than thou. 
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: Observe, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. 
And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon the hand of Joseph, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck; 
And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, saying: Bow the knee! and Pharaoh made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. 
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph: I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt. 
¶ And Pharaoh called the name of Joseph Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath, the daughter of Poti-pherah, priest of On. 
And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt, and none of the women of Egypt were as beautiful as the mothers of Joseph; Rachel, Rebecca, and Sarah, except Asenath. 
Yea, and the sons of the princes and the sons of the kings, also, all young and mighty men did desire her, 
And there was great strife among them because of her; and even the firstborn son of Pharaoh did desire her; 
But Asenath set these at naught and scorned every man, she being boastful and haughty. 
¶ And it came to pass that she despised her husband, Joseph, at the first, for being a slave and a foreigner, she did see him as being beneath her, for she knew not YHVH. 
¶ And it came to pass that Pharaoh did give unto her (and unto her father) many precious things, even jewelry and fine linins; 
Therefore, she did say: Blessed by my husband, first among the servants of Pharaoh and second only to Pharaoh in all the land; 
But in her heart, she did not love her husband, but her love was for the precious things, and the maidens and the servants that she had been given. 
And she wept and hid herself from her husband that she might know him not, for though Joseph was handsome, she desired not to be the mother of slaves. 
¶ And it came to pass that after many days, she did concede to lay with her husband, for she was the daughter of an Egyptian priest and had been taught to see wisdom; 
And she did perceive the wisdom from Ha’Elohim in her husband and came to desire to know of YHVH. 
And behold, her husband, Joseph, did teach her to petition YHVH Elohim, and she did pray, for she did see that YHVH Elohim was El Elyon, the Most High God, even before the elohim of the Egyptians. 
¶ And it came to pass that in the house of Joseph was an altar unto YHVH, like unto that which Jacob, the father of Joseph, had made; 
And there Asenath did pour water in libation upon the altar and prayed her petition unto YHVH. 
And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH did come to her, saying: Behold thy husband, Joseph, he is a prince of Egypt; 
For his mother, Sarah, was wife to Pharaoh in her day, and El Elyon hath sent this, her son, back into this land that he might offer salvation unto the house of Egypt and unto the house of Israel. 
Thy husband, Joseph, is a chosen vessel from among the children of men and a great blessing unto all the earth; 
And from thee shall come two great and mighty nations in the hand of YHVH: 
And behold, thou shalt be the mother of two mighty nations; therefore raise these, the seed of thy husband, in righteousness unto YHVH, the Elohim of thy husband, and now the Elohim of you: 
For YHVH exalts whom He will, and YHVH abases whom He will, and who can stay his mighty hand? 
Therefore, I say unto thee: Thou shalt name the first Manasseh and the second Ephraim, and these shall be fruitful and grow as vines throughout the whole earth. 
And YHVH seeth all these things that He may richly reward the faithful; for YHVH delights in the righteousness of His children, that He may prosper them with all blessings; 
Therefore, walk thou humbly before thy Elohim, and in haughtiness no longer; for YHVH has ordained thy husband to be a savior in the land of Egypt, 
And thy people shall bare him on their shoulders and call him blessed; moreover, thou shall preserve thy house and the holy wisdom of YHVH from destruction. 
And when many days have passed, thy seed shall be cause for a great work of YHVH in the sight of the infidel unto the glory of YHVH. 
¶ And I say unto thee: Even as thy husband hath suffered, thou shalt live in abundance and prosperity all of thy days; therefore, partake of this honeycomb and live. 
And after she had eaten and drunk of the honeycomb, the angel of YHVH spoke again unto her, saying: 
Thou hast eaten of the bread of life and drunken from the cup of immortality; and thou hast been anointed before thou wast born to be a High Priestess to act in the name of YHVH; 
Therefore, go unto thy husband and ask of him to teach thee all that he knowth of YHVH and to impart upon thee the wisdom of his coat of many colors, for woven into it are the secret mysteries of YHVH. 
¶ And it came to pass that when her husband did return unto his household, that she did speak these things unto him, and he did rejoice, and did make and offering unto YHVH. 
And it came to pass that Joseph did impart unto his wife, Asenath, all that he knew of YHVH Elohim, 
And Joseph did bless and ordain his wife a High Priestess unto El Elyon, the Most High God, even as Melchizedek had his mother, Sarah, and he did give unto her all the signs and tokens; and YHVH did place a seal upon them.

Chapter 9

Two Nations Born in Famine

And it came to pass that when Joseph was thirty years old, he had stood before Pharaoh, who was the king of Egypt; 
And having gone out from the presence of Pharaoh, Joseph went throughout all the land of Egypt. 
And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth her fruits by handfuls. 
And Joseph gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities; the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same. 
And Joseph gathered grains as the sands of the sea, and behold, it was so numerous that he left numbering; for it was without number. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joseph knew his wife, Aseneth, and she conceived, and unto them were born two sons, as the years of famine were about to come in. 
And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said Joseph, hath made me forget all my toil and all the house of my father. 
And the name of the second Joseph called Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction. 
And this was done even as the angel of YHVH had said unto Aseneth, according to the word of YHVH. 
¶ And Aseneth lifted up her voice in petition to YHVH, saying: YHVH, El Elyon who didst create all things, and didst call them from darkness into light, and from error into truth, and from death into life; 
Yea, El Elyon that created the heavens above, and the earth we stand upon, and the waters of the deep; O YHVH, hear my supplication: 
Yea, unto thee, YHVH, I present my supplication, for thou, O YHVH, didst stretch forth thy hands over me, even as a Father that loves his children in their pity and ignorance, 
And thou hast grown as a tree within me, for the sake of thy Wisdom, and because of this have I abandoned the elohim of my fathers and destroyed their likeness; 
For thou, O YHVH, hath delivered me from their hands, and rescued me from that serpent that sought to rip at me, cast me into the abyss, into the deepest depths of the Nile: 
But I have been swallowed up in the arms of my Mother, and thou, O YHVH hath me when the father and mother of my flesh didst deny me; 
For I have left behind their elohim for Thee, and I have no other hope save in Thee, O YHVH; 
Therefore, YHVH, renew my flesh, give me power by thy breath, that I should raise these, my sons, unto thee, O YHVH; 
That they too might eat of the bread of life, and drink the cup of thy blessing, which thou has prepared for thine elect. 
¶ And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH appeared to Joseph in a dream saying: Thy sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, these shall be two mighty nations before YHVH. 
And they shall be as two stiff-necked and rebellious goats which run away when they hear the voice of the shepherd. 
And it shall come to pass that in the latter days they shall be a scourge and a terror and shall fight YHVH when He comes to reward the sons of men. 
However, a remnant shall be faithful unto YHVH; and El Elyon shall give them the earth as an inheritance with thee after I have raised up thy bones from the dust. 
¶ And it came to pass not many days after this, that YHVH spoke again unto Joseph saying: Behold, the famine which shall overtake the land is at hand; 
And when the famine has become a sore burden on thy kindred, thy brothers shall appear unto you: 
Be merciful unto them, even as I have been merciful unto thee, and all shall be well with thee and the house of thy master. 
¶ And it came to pass that the seven years of plenteousness that was in the land of Egypt were ended. 
And the seven years of famine began to come according to the dreams given Pharaoh of Ha’Elohim, even as Joseph had said; 
And the famine was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. 
And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians: Go unto Joseph; whatever he saith to you, do. 
¶ And it came to pass that the adversary came unto Joseph tempting him to say unto the Egyptians: Behold! If thou wilt but give up your allegiance unto deceitful idols; 
And if ye shall say: Blessed is YHVH who giveth bread unto all flesh, then shall I give thee bread; 
But the breath of YHVH was upon Joseph, and he knew they should refuse to deny their elohim. 
And the famine was over all the face of the earth; and thus it was that Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold unto the Egyptians; 
And the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt; therefore, Joseph let go his arrogance, and gave unto all they that came in need to buy grains; 
And Joseph was blessed, and the people of Egypt were blessed. 
And the Egyptians, being well fed in the famine, did go about saying: Surely ha’elohim hath brought a Messiah into Egypt, and Pharaoh hath blessed us! For they knew not YHVH Elohim. 
And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy grain because that the famine was so sore in all lands.

Chapter 10

A Fifth Part for Pharaoh

And it came to pass that there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine. 
And Joseph had gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan for the grain which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into the house of Pharaoh. 
¶ And it came to pass that when money ran out in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph and said: Give us bread; for why should we die in thy presence? For the money is gone! 
And Joseph said: Bring then unto me your livestock; and I will give you for your livestock, if money fail. 
And they all brought their livestock unto Joseph; and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses; and he fed them with bread for all their livestock for that year. 
¶ And it came to pass that when that year was ended, they came unto him the second year and said unto him: We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; 
My lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not aught left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies and our lands; wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? 
Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh; and give us seed, that we may live and not die, that the land be not desolate. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field because the famine prevailed over them; and so the land became the land of Pharaoh. 
And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof. 
Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them; wherefore, they sold not their lands. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joseph said unto the people: Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh; lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land. 
And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh; and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones. 
And they said: Thou hast saved our lives; let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be the servants of Pharaoh. 
¶ And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day that Pharaoh should have the fifth part, except the land of the priests only, which did not belong to Pharaoh.

Chapter 11

Israel in Egypt

And it came to pass that just as famine did fall upon the land of Egypt, so too did famine fall upon the lands of Jacob. 
And the sons of Jacob said among themselves: We have little to eat; wherefore shall we suffer ourselves to perish with hunger in this place which has been forsaken by YHVH? 
And thus did they murmur against YHVH their Elohim. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons: Why do ye look one upon another? 
And Jacob said unto his sons: Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; make haste and go down unto Egypt, for there must be a ruler among the Egyptians full of wisdom and knowledge of Ha’Elohim. 
Pray perhaps that he shall have mercy on our souls, and shall sell grain unto you, that we live and not perish. 
This YHVH hath provided; therefore, get you down thither and buy for us from thence, that we may live and not die. 
¶ And it came to pass that ten of the brethren of Joseph went down to buy grain in Egypt; 
But Benjamin, the younger brother of Joseph, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for Jacob was troubled, least some mischief befall his youngest son. 
¶ And it came to pass that the sons of Jacob came to buy grain among those that came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan. 
And Joseph, being the ruler over the land, was he that sold to all the people of the land. 
¶ And it came to pass that the brethren of Joseph came and bowed themselves down before him with their faces to the earth. 
And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spoke roughly unto them; and he said unto them: Whence come ye? 
And they said: From the land of Canaan to buy food. 
And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew him not. 
And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them and said unto them: Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come. 
And they said unto him: Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come. 
We are all the sons of one man; we are true men; thy servants are no spies. 
And he said unto them: Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye into which ye are come. 
And they said: Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not. 
And Joseph said unto them: That is it that I spoke unto you, saying: Ye are spies; 
Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither. 
Send one of you and let him fetch your brother; and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you; or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies. 
And he put them all into prison together for three days. 
¶ And it came to pass on the third day that Joseph came unto them, saying: This do and live; for I fear Ha’Elohim; 
If ye be honest men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison; go ye, carry grain for the famine of your houses; 
But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. 
¶ And it came to pass that they did so. 
And they said one to another: We are verily guilty concerning our brother, Joseph, in that we saw the anguish of his soul when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore, is this distress come upon us. 
And Reuben answered them, saying: Spake I not unto you, saying: Do not sin against the child? And ye would not hear? Therefore, behold, also his blood is required. 
And they knew not that Joseph understood them, for he spoke unto them by an interpreter. 
¶ And Joseph turned himself about from them, and wept, and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes. 
Then Joseph commanded his men to fill their sacks with grain, and to restore every man his money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way; and thus did he unto them. 
And they laded their asses with the grain and departed thence. 
¶ And it came to pass that as one of them opened his sack to give his ass fodder in the inn, he espied his money; for behold, it was in his the mouth of the sack. 
And thus he said unto his brethren: My money is restored; and lo, it is even in my sack. 
And their hearts failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another: What is this that Ha’Elohim hath done unto us?

Chapter 12

Brothers United

And it came to pass that they came unto Jacob, their father, unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them, saying: The man, Zaphnath-paaneah, who is the lord of the land, spoke roughly to us and took us for spies of the country. 
And we said unto him: We are true men; we are no spies; we be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan. 
And Zaphnath-paaneah, the lord of the country, said unto us: Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone; 
And bring your youngest brother unto me; then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men; so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffic in the land. 
And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, the bundle of money of every man was in his sack; and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid. 
¶ And Jacob, their father, said unto them: Ye hath bereaved of my sons! Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away; all these things are against me! 
And Reuben spoke unto his father, saying: Slay my two sons if I bring him not to thee; deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again. 
And Jacob said: My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone; 
If mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. 
¶ And it came to pass that the famine was sore in all the lands, and when the house of Jacob had eaten up the grains which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them: Go again; buy us a little food. 
And Judah spoke unto him, saying: The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying: Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you; 
Therefore, if thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food; 
But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down; for the man said unto us: Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you. 
¶ And Jacob said: Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother? 
And they said: The man, Zaphnath-paaneah, asked us straitly of our state and of our kindred, saying: Is your father yet alive? Have ye another brother? 
And we told him according to the tenor of these words; could we certainly know that he would say: Bring your brother down? 
¶ And Judah said unto Jacob, his father: Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die—both we, and thou, and also our little ones. 
I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him; if I bring him not unto thee and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame forever; 
For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time. 
¶ And their father, Jacob, said unto them: If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels and carry down the man a present—a little balm, and a little honey, spices and myrrh, nuts and almonds; 
And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight. 
Take also your brother and arise; go again unto the man; and Elohim Shaddai give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother and Benjamin. 
If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved. 
¶ And it came to pass that the men took that present; and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin, and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph. 
And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house: Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon. 
And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into the house of Joseph. 
¶ And the men were afraid because they were brought into the house of Joseph; 
And the sons of Jacob said: Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in, that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses. 
And they came near to the steward of the house of Joseph, and they communed with him at the door of the house, and said: O sir, we came, indeed, down at the first time to buy food; 
And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks; and behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight; and we have brought it again in our hand. 
And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food; we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks. 
¶ And the servant of Joseph said: Peace be to you; fear not; your Elohim, and the Elohim of thy father, hath given you treasure in your sacks; I had your money, and he brought Simeon out unto them. 
And the man brought the men into the house of Joseph and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave food to their donkeys. 
And they made ready the gifts for Joseph to come at noon; for they heard that they should eat bread there. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Joseph came home, they brought him the gifts which was in their hand into the house and bowed themselves to him to the earth. 
And he asked them of their welfare and said: Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive? 
And they answered: Thy servant, our father, is in good health; he is yet alive; and they bowed down their heads and made to honor Joseph. 
And Joseph lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, the son of his own mother, and said: Is this your younger brother of whom ye spoke unto me? 
And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother; and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber and wept there. 
And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said: Set on bread. 
And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him by themselves because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians. 
And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth; and the men marveled one at another. 
And Joseph took and sent food unto them from his own table; but Benjamin's portion was five times so much as any of theirs; and they drank and were merry with him.

Chapter 13

The Pit

And it came to pass that the following day Joseph did command the steward of his house, saying: Fill the sacks of them men with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in the mouth his sack, 
And put my cup, the silver cup in that I use to see, in the mouth of the youngest man's sack, and there all the money given us for the grain. 
And the steward of the house of Joseph did according to the word that Joseph had spoken. 
¶ And it came to pass that as soon as the morning was light, the men readied themselves for their journey beck unto the house of their father, Jacob. 
And knowing not that Joseph could speak their tongue, Judah said unto his brethren: Surely this man is mad; therefore, let us go now before he resends his kindness. 
And his brothers were all in agreement, all but Benjamin who did feel a longing for this man, knowing not that Joseph too was a son of Rachel; yet he harkened unto his brethren. 
And Joseph came unto Benjamin, and speaking in the tongue of the Egyptians he placed his hand upon the head of his brother, saying: El Elyon, be gracious unto thee my brother. 
But the sons of Jacob knew not what Joseph said, yet they thanked him and were sent away, they and their asses. 
¶ And when they were gone out of the city and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward: Follow up after these men; 
And when thou dost overtake them, say unto them: Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good? 
Is not this the cup whereby my lord seeth with, and indeed in which he divineth? Ye have done evil in so doing. 
¶ And it came to pass that the steward of Joseph and his men did quickly overtake them, and he spake unto them the very words his master, Joseph, had given him. 
And the brothers of Joseph said unto the steward: Wherefore saith my lord these words? Far be it that thy servants should do according to this thing. 
Behold, the money, which we found in the mouths of our sacks, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan; how then should we steal out of the house of thy lord silver or gold? 
With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen even for the rest of our days. 
And the steward of the house of Joseph said: Now also let it be even according unto your words; except that he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless. 
¶ Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened them. 
And the steward of the house of Joseph searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest; and so it was that the cup was found in the sack of Benjamin. 
And the steward of the house of Joseph spoke again, saying: Thinkest that ye didst know better than my master? 
For he doeth see all, and he did even know that this famine should come; therefore, think ye that he would not know even this, and that ye should fool him twice? 
And this he spoke, even as Joseph had instructed; and all the sons of Jacob but Benjamin were afraid, that should they be made slaves, even as they had sold their brother, Joseph; 
And they murmured that it was even as their father, Jacob, had feared, that Benjamin should fall into some mischief. 
And they did rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city being overseen by the steward of the house of Joseph and his army; 
And Benjamin went with them also, yet he was not troubled, for he knew.

Chapter 14

The Revelation of Joseph

And it came to pass that Judah and his brethren came to the house of Joseph, for he was yet there; and they fell before him on the ground. 
And Joseph said unto them: What deed is this that ye have done? Knew ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine? 
¶ And Judah said: What shall we say unto my lord? What shall we speak? Or how shall we clear ourselves? 
Ha’Elohim hath found out the iniquity of thy servants; behold, we are my lord's servants, both we and he also with whom the cup is found. 
And Joseph said: Far be it that I should do so; but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father. 
¶ Then Judah came near unto him and said: O my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my the ears of my lord, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant; for thou art even as Pharaoh. 
My lord asked his servants, saying: Have ye a father or a brother? 
And we said unto my lord: We have a father, an old man; and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him. 
And thou saidst unto thy servants: Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him. 
And we said unto my lord: The lad cannot leave his father; for if he should leave his father, his father would die. 
And thou saidst unto thy servants: Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more. 
And it came to pass, when we came up unto thy servant, my father, we told him the words of my lord. 
And our father said: Go again, and buy us a little food. 
And we said: We cannot go down; if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down; for we may not see the face of that man, except our youngest brother be with us. 
And thy servant, my father, said unto us: Ye know that my wife bare me two sons; and the one went out from me, and I said: Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since; 
And if ye take this also from me and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. 
Now, therefore, when I come to thy servant, my father, and the lad be not with us, seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life, 
It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die; and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant, our father, with sorrow to the grave. 
For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying: If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father forever. 
¶ Now, therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad, a bondman to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brethren. 
For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me, lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father? 
And Joseph said unto him: Yea, and so it shall be that thee and thy seed after shall serve me and my seed for all days until that day in the which I AM shall come unto the earth and free all bond between thy seed and my seed, that all shall be free. 
And so shall it be that in the last days a remnant of thy seed and a remnant of my seed shall be profitable before YHVH. 
¶ And the brothers of Joseph marveled, for these words he spoke in their own tongue and not through the interpreter; 
And Judah spoke again, saying: What manner is this? And they saw that Joseph knew all that they had said from the beginning. 
¶ And so it was that Joseph could not refrain himself any longer before they that stood by him; and Joseph commanded with a loud voice: Cause every man to go out from me. 
And so it was that Joseph was alone there in the room, and he made himself known unto his brethren; and so great were his tears that even the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard. 
And his brethren were afraid, for they understood not and thought this man possessed by an evil spirit. 
¶ And after some time had passed, Joseph spoke unto his brethren, saying: I am Joseph. Doth my father yet live? 
And his brethren could not answer him, for they were troubled at his presence. 
And Joseph said unto his brethren: Come near to me, I pray you; and they came near. 
And he said: See that it is I, and that I am Joseph, your brother, whom ye sold; 
Now, therefore, be not grieved nor angry with yourselves that ye sold me hither; for Elohim did send me before you to preserve life: 
For these two years hath the famine been in the land; and yet there are five years in the which there shall neither be plowing nor harvest. 
And even as I did dream the dream that ye should bow before me, so did Elohim send me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 
So now it was not you that sent me hither, but Ha’Elohim; and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. 
¶ Now make haste, and go up to our father, and say unto him: Thus saith thy son Joseph: Ha'Elohim hath made me lord of all Egypt; come down unto me; tarry not; 
And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast; 
And there will I nourish thee, for yet there are five years of famine, lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast come to poverty. 
¶ And still the elder brothers of Joseph, they that had sold him, knew not what to think, and they stood astonished. 
And seeing this, Joseph spoke again unto them, saying: Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you! 
And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither. 
And he fell upon the neck of his brother, Benjamin, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck. 
And seeing that it was Joseph, their brother, and that he bore no malice towards them, they rejoiced; 
And Joseph kissed all his brethren and wept upon them; and after that, his brethren made arrangements with him. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joseph sent his brethren back unto the house of Jacob, their father, and they departed; and he said unto them: See that ye fall not out by the way.

Chapter 15

The Vision of Joseph and Asenath

And it came to pass that after the sons of Jacob had left their brother Joseph, that Joseph and his wife, Asenath, did make and offering before YHVH at the altar of YHVH there in the house of Joseph. 
And as the fire was burning the offering that they should eat it, the angel of YHVH appeared unto them, even standing in the fire. 
And Joseph cried out, thinking that he should die, even as he would be reunited with his father; 
But the angel of YHVH spoke unto him, saying: Fear not, for thou hast been chosen from all thy brethren, and even from all the sons of man which dwell here upon the earth; 
For through thy seed shall all nations be blessed with the fruit of the earth, and the wine shall even overflow, and the milk shall run off and spoil for that vastness of it. 
¶ And Joseph and Asenath did bow; but the angel of YHVH said: Arise and lift up thy eyes; behold the handiwork of YHVH! 
And the eyes of Joseph and Asenath were opened unto the vision of YHVH, and they did see many great and marvelous things. 
And Joseph said: What is the meaning of this? It is great to behold and marvelous in my eyes! 
¶ And the angel of YHVH said unto them: These are lands upon which thy seed shall dwell; 
For the land upon which thou dwelleth, and the land which the famine is upon is but one part of the creation that is the earth. 
And behold, ye see that there are lands without number, stars without number, and worlds without number; 
And this is the work and glory of Ha’Elohim: To grant unto the very children of Elohim all that which was theirs from the beginning; yea, even all that YHVH Elohim doth possess. 
¶ And Asenath spoke, saying: How great and mighty is YHVH, for YHVH is all knowledge, and all wisdom and all mercy, and all strength; for I should never have known that this should be. 
And Joseph and Asenath fell down and worshiped YHVH. 
¶ And the angel of YHVH spoke again, saying: Joseph and Asenath, if ye art faithful to YHVH all the days of thy life, and should walk in circumcision before My Face, ye shall be lifted up, even to the throne of Ha’Elohim, and made master workers of all wisdom, yea, even in the hidden wisdom of YHVH. 
And together ye shall inherit the glory of YHVH, even all thy seed that shall remain faithful; 
And in this ye shall find great joy, for YHVH delights to give his children the works of His hands. 
And sitting upon the throne of Ha’Elohim, ye shall be the very sons and daughters of Elohim, even as thy fathers and mothers, Abraham and Sarah, and Isaac and Rebekah; 
And YHVH Elohim shall be thy Father, forever and ever, for YHVH casts the proud to the dust and exalts the humble. 
And in the last days, the power of the wicked shall be completely destroyed by the faith of a remnant of thy seed, for YHVH delights in the throne of the faithful. 
¶ And the angel of YHVH said: Look! 
And when Joseph and Asenath had looked up, they beheld a great multitude which had the appearance of the Son of man; 
And they beheld that these did shine like the sun, and everyone of them had a crown of gold upon their heads; and these were singing and praising YHVH around His glorious throne. 
And there was one in the midst of the throne which had his name written on him, which was Haniel. 
And the angel of YHVH said unto Joseph and Asenath: Thus sayeth YHVH Elohim: Joseph, my son, Asenath, my daughter; these are they who glorify my name; and they shall be my sons and daughters forever. 
And when thy seed and all the seed of Jacob shall be laid low in this land, Haniel shall come in the flesh to deliver all of the seed of Jacob, even all they that shall believe in YHVH; 
And his name shall be Moses, for he shall draw my people from out of this land, even by my mercy shall he do this thing; 
And he shall be the Tzadik Yachad of that generation and shall declare my Torah and make Israel once again my covenant peoples. 
¶ And they looked again, and saw another in the midst of them and beheld that his luster was above that of the sun at noon-day, 
And he carried with Him the breath of life, giving this light unto all they that should partake; 
And they saw that the seed of Israel would spit on him, and curse him, and did hang him from a tree that he died: 
And they saw too that this one was Yachad Yachid Echad, even the very Anointed One; the Messiah. 
And the angel of YHVH spoke unto them, saying: And when he shall rise up on the third day, ye too shall rise from the dust and take up your inheritance with thy fathers and the mothers forever. 
¶ And the angel of YHVH said: Look! 
And Joseph and Asenath looked again, and they beheld another one in the midst of the throne which had his name written on him, which was Ariel. 
And the angel of YHVH said unto Joseph and Asenath: Behold the descendant of thy seed; 
And in the last days he shall be born in the flesh, and shall be the Tzadik Yachad of that generation: 
And he shall be a restorer of the things of YHVH and shall begin the task of that generation to make all as at first and to make ready the coming of YHVH for the second time. 
¶ And many other things were shown them, but these things are not to be written; 
Yet they may be seen by all those worthy of the vision, being called of El Elyon and ordained in the mysteries of YHVH.

Chapter 16

The Vision of Jacob

And it came to pass that after the brothers of Joseph went up out of Egypt that they did come into the land of Canaan unto Jacob, their father, 
And these sons of Jacob spoke unto him, saying: Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. 
And Jacob's heart fainted, and he believed them not. 
¶ And Judah and Levi took him out of the house, saying: Behold, the fame thereof was heard even unto the house of Pharaoh, saying: the brethren of Joseph are come! 
And it pleased Pharaoh well, he and his servants. 
And Pharaoh said unto thy son Joseph: Say unto thy brethren: This do ye: Lade your beasts and go; get you unto the land of Canaan; and take your father and your households and come unto me; 
And I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land; there for see that we art commanded. 
And this we shall do: take our wagons to get our little ones, and our wives, and all of our households, and bring thee and thy household, and come unto Egypt and live. 
¶ And these words did Pharaoh say unto us: Regard not that which ye have; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours. 
And thus, we have returned unto thee, according to the commandment of Pharaoh; and look and see that thy son Joseph gave us provision for the way. 
And behold, to all of us he gave each man changes of clothing; but to thy son Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels and five changes of clothing. 
And see that unto thee, thy son Joseph hath sent thee after this manner: ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt and ten she asses laden with corn, and bread, and meat for thee, his father, by the way. 
¶ And after they told him all the words of Joseph which he had said unto them; and he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob, their father, was revived. 
And Jacob said: It is enough; Joseph, my son, is yet alive; I will go and see him before I die. 
¶ And it came to pass that Jacob took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the Elohim of his father Isaac. 
And there YHVH spoke unto Jacob in the visions of the night and said: Jacob, Jacob! 
And Jacob said: Here am I. 
And he said, I am Ha’El, the Elohim of thy father; and thou, Jacob, art Israel, for this new name did I give unto thee. 
And I say unto thee: Fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation. 
And I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again; and Joseph’s own hands shall rest thy eyes. 
My mercy is upon thee, and upon thy seed and all thy household, but after a time the Egyptians shall worry of thy seed, and these shall begin to forget me; 
And they shall see Lilith and Cain as nonsense and begin to wonder off after works made by the hands of men in the flesh. 
But have faith, for thy seed shall be made free, and I shall send thy son, Levi, to free them; and like thy son Joseph he shall be a prince, but then he shall fall only to rise again a king. 
¶ Therefor I say: Go thee unto Egypt and fear not, for though evil doth lurk there so too doth life, and thy seed must live among the Egyptians that they might live; 
And thy seed must live that all the world might see my face and live: 
For in thy seed shall they be made free, by the hand of thy son Judah, in who’s line shall I be born unto the world and make the clay of my creation my flesh; 
Therefore, again I say unto thee: Get thee and thy house unto Egypt and fear not, for I am with thee. 
Yeah, get thee and thy house unto Egypt that thy seed shall live, this is my will, and my works shall be done, and my Word shall be harkened unto and obeyed. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Jacob heard this, he arose and took those of his house and went on their way.

Chapter 17

Jacob in Egypt

And it came to pass that Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba; and the sons of Jacob carried Jacob, their father, and their little ones, and their wives in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry them. 
And they took their cattle and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob and all his seed with him: 
His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt. 
¶ And these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt: Jacob and his sons, Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, 
And the sons of Reuben: Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi; 
And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanitish woman; 
And the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari; 
And the sons of Judah: Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zarah; but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. 
And the sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul. 
And the sons of Issachar: Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron; 
And the sons of Zebulun: Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel. 
These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padan-aram, with his daughter Dinah; all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three. 
And the sons of Gad: Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli; 
And the sons of Asher: Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and Serah, their sister; and the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel. 
These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah, his daughter; and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls. 
The sons of Rachel, the wife of Jacob wife: Joseph and Benjamin. 
And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath, the daughter of Poti-pherah, priest of On, bare unto him. 
And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard. 
These are the sons of Rachel which were born to Jacob; all the souls were fourteen. 
And the son of Dan: Hushim; 
And the sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem. 
These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel, his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob; all the souls were seven. 
All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and six; 
And the sons of Joseph, which were borne him in Egypt, were two souls; all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten. 
And they brought with them all of their servants and the children of their servants; and all of these were counted as Israel, and these are not numbered. 
¶ And Jacob sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen. 
And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel, his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck and wept on his neck a good while. 
And Jacob said unto Joseph: Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive.

Chapter 18

Israel before Pharaoh

And it came to pass that Joseph said unto his brethren and unto the house of his father: I will go up, and show Pharaoh, and say unto him: My brethren and my father's house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me; 
And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have. 
And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you and shall say: What is your occupation? 
That ye shall say: Thy servants' trade hath been about livestock from our youth even until now, both we and also our fathers; that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians. 
¶ Then it came to pass that Joseph came and told Pharaoh and said: My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have are come out of the land of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen. 
And it came to pass that he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh. 
And Pharaoh said unto his brethren: What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh: Thy servants are shepherds, both we and also our fathers. 
They said, moreover, unto Pharaoh: For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks, for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan. 
Now, therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen. 
¶ And Pharaoh spoke unto Joseph, saying: Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee; 
The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell: 
In the land of Goshen let them dwell; and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my livestock. 
¶ And Joseph brought in Jacob, his father, and set him before Pharaoh; and Jacob, being a High Priest unto El Elyon, did bless Pharaoh. 
And Pharaoh said unto Jacob: How old art thou? 
And Jacob said unto Pharaoh: The days of the years of my pilgrimage are a eighty and seven years; few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage. 
And Jacob kneeled before Pharaoh and went out from before Pharaoh. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joseph placed his father and his brethren and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded. 
And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household with bread, according to their wants, according to their families. 
And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.

Chapter 19

Manasseh and Ephraim

And it came to pass that the time drew nigh that Jacob must die; 
And he called his son Joseph and said unto him: If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt; 
But I will lie with my fathers; and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burying place. 
And Joseph answered him, saying: I will do as thou hast said. 
And Jacob said: Swear unto me. 
And Joseph swore unto him. 
And Jacob bowed himself upon the bed's head for the relief of it. 
¶ And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Joseph, saying: Behold, thy father is sick. 
And Joseph went unto his father, Jacob, and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. 
And these, Manasseh and Ephraim, had Joseph and Asenath raised in the knowledge of YHVH; and they had grown up in the ways and instruction of YHVH Elohim; 
And behold, they did not deviate from the way which their father and mother taught them, neither to the right nor to the left; and YHVH was with them. 
¶ And it came to pass that it was told Jacob: Look, and behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee, he and his sons; and Jacob strengthened himself and sat upon the bed. 
And Jacob said unto Joseph:Elohim Shaddai appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, 
And said unto me: Behold, I will make thee fruitful and multiply thee, saith YHVH; and I will make of thee a multitude of people, and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession. 
And now, of thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, behold, they are mine, 
And the Elohim of my fathers shall bless them; even as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be blessed, for they are mine; wherefore, they shall be called after my name. 
And it came to pass that after this time were Manasseh and Ephraim called Israel. 
And thy issue which thou begettest after them shall be thine and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance in the tribes; therefore, they were called the tribes of Manasseh and of Ephraim. 
¶ And Jacob said unto Joseph: When the Elohim of my fathers appeared unto me in Luz in the land of Canaan, he swore unto me that he would give unto me and unto my seed the land for an everlasting possession; 
Therefore, O my son, El Elyon hath blessed me in raising thee up to be a servant unto me, in saving my house from death, 
In delivering my people, thy brethren, from famine which was sore in the land; 
Wherefore, the Elohim of thy fathers shall bless thee and the fruit of thy loins, that they shall be blessed above thy brethren and above thy father's house; 
For thou hast prevailed, and the house of thy father hath bowed down unto thee, even as it was shown unto thee before thou wast sold by the hands of thy brethren that thou should be found here, in the land of Egypt. 
Wherefore, thy brethren shall bow down unto thee, from generation to generation, unto the fruit of thy loins forever; 
For thou shalt be a light unto my people, to deliver them in the days of their captivity from bondage and to bring salvation unto them when they are altogether bowed down under sin. 
And, therefore, as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan, in the way when we were yet but a little way to come unto Ephrath; 
And I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is called Bethlehem. 
¶ And Jacob beheld the sons of Joseph and said: Who are these? 
And Joseph said unto his father: They are my sons, whom Ha’Elohim hath given me in this land. 
And Jacob said: Bring them, I pray thee, unto me; and I will bless them. 
Now the eyes of Jacob were dim for age, and from years of weeping bitterly for the loss of his son, Joseph, so that he could not see well; 
And Joseph brought them near unto him; and Jacob kissed them and embraced them. 
And Jacob said unto Joseph: I had not thought to see thy face; and lo, Ha’Elohim hath showed me also thy seed. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Joseph had brought Manasseh and Ephraim out from before their father, Jacob, Joseph bowed himself with his face to the earth. 
And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward the left hand of Jacob, and Manasseh in his left hand toward the right hand of Jacob and brought them near unto him. 
And Jacob stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon the head of Ephraim, who was the younger, and his left hand upon the head of Manasseh, crossing his hands; for Manasseh was the firstborn. 
And Jacob blessed Joseph and said: Ha’Elohim, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, Ha’Elohim which fed me all my life long unto this day, 
YHVH, which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them and the name of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth. 
¶ And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him; and he held up his father's hand to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head. 
And Joseph said unto his father: Not so, my father; for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head. 
And his father, Jacob, refused and said: This I know, my son, I know it; and it shall even be as it was with me and my brother, Esau: 
Manasseh also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. 
¶ And Jacob blessed them that day, saying: In thee shall Israel be blessed, saying: God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh. 
And so it was that Jacob set Ephraim before Manasseh. 
¶ And it came to pass that Jacob said unto Joseph: Behold, I die; but Elohim shall be with you and bring you again unto the land of your fathers. 
Moreover, I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow. 
And it came to pass that Joseph and his sons took leave of their father, Jacob, and Joseph wept privately, that only his sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, should know.

Chapter 20

The Vision of Israel

And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH came unto Jacob, saying: Fear not, Jacob; for I am he who hath been with thee from thy youth, and it is I that named thee and thy people Israel. 
Now, therefore, be thee not troubled for thou hast been a faithful servant unto YHVH, and behold thou hast seen thy son Joseph once more. 
¶ And then the angel of YHVH took Jacob and showed unto him all of the works of the Creator. 
And Jacob spoke in amazement, saying: Surely YHVH is El Elyon, the Creator, the very king of all creation! 
And who am I, and who is my father, Isaac, and my father, Abraham, that Ha’Elohim should choose these, and our seed from among all people, and raised us above all tongues? 
Who are we that should bear these blessings and these burdens? 
For we were in the mist of a great famine, but YHVH Elohim did prepare a way to save our seed from death, 
And yet we shall dwell here in peace but a short time, YHVH has prepared away and shown unto me that my seed shall be taken away from these and brought back unto the land promised us. 
O, Israel, my seed! Forget not YHVH thy Elohim, that for I have seen that we have given a heritage, 
And least we should forget, O Israel, the very Elohim that hath made a way for our escape from Egypt back into the lands promised us by our Elohim, YHVH watcheth over us still: 
For once we live in the land of the sons of man, least we forget that we are the children of Elohim, YHVH shall send us a witness. 
¶ And in that day, we shall remember YHVH, and we shall journey through the trials with YHVH to lead us; 
And YHVH shall watch over us, wherever we should go, and light our way in the darkness. 
And should be keep our covenants with YHVH Elohim the more we shall be blessed! 
And if we keep them not, YHVH shall weep for us, and still prepare a way for us, that we should see the light in the darkness should we desire to return home. 
And Jacob wept greatly for the sake of his seed. 
¶ And the angel of YHVH spoke to Jacob, saying: Israel, fear not: for YHVH did not send thy seed unto death, but unto life; 
Therefore, take courage and warn thy sons, let them know to remember YHVH always that thy seed might bring forth the final act of creation. 
And Jacob gained strength in YHVH, and his heart was full; and he praised Elohim, for though his eyes were blinded, in YHVH he had seen and lived.

Chapter 21

The Tribe of Reuben: Behold a Son

And it came to pass that Jacob called unto his sons and said: Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you what shall befall my seed in the last days; 
Gather yourselves together and hear, ye that are Israel; and hearken unto Jacob, your father. 
¶ And filled with the breath of Ha’Elohim, Jacob spoke unto his son Reuben, saying: 
Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength; the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power: 
Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel because thou wentest up to my bed, then thou did defile it; 
Therefore, thy throne shall be set to the East, and to the South; for thou are beneath even they youngest of thy brethren in Israel. 
But in the ninth month, even as cometh the winter, thou shalt yet find thy strength, that when the spring shall come, thy seed shall be ready; 
And thou art as the mandrake plant, for thy roots are strong, and the word of thy seed shall flow with power. 
And thy seed shall seek reason, and wisdom, and not go to war quickly; yet thy seed shall too be strong in their word and known by reasoning. 
¶ And a red banner shall go out before thee and thy seed, for thou art a fire and a strength before YHVH; and the judgement of thy seed shall be known in the last days. 
But thy seed shall sleep before the face of YHVH, and their rest shall be great; for even as thou went up to my couch, so too shall thy seed seek after another at the first; 
But behold, when thy seed shall awaken! How great shall be their victory, yea how great shall be the strength of their determination! 
And none shall stop them, for this day I have declared that the first shall be the last, and the last shall be the first: 
And thou, thy seed shall be brought up by Ephraim, the love of thy seed for the seed of Ephraim shall be renown; 
And thy seed shall be established with their brethren in Ephraim, and their kinship shall not be forgotten. 
For in the last days many things shall come to light, and a voice of reason must need be heard. 
¶ And when it shall come to pass that Ephraim and Judah shall establish their bonds, then the seed of Reuben shall be appointed the judgment seat, to sit in their stead and to represent them in their times of need. 
And great shall be the council of thy seed! 
And thy daughters in that day shall surely pour out libations upon the altar of YHVH and awaken their hearts and souls to the Elohim that kept them and succored them in their slumbers; 
And thy daughters shall rule over councils and their wisdom shall be known. 
¶ But during the time of their slumber, they shall sleep very deeply, yea even in a great slumber in the bed chambers of another love; 
Yet YHVH shall keep watch over thy seed until they should awaken; 
For thy seed shall travel first to the North, and then to the East and to the West, and there they shall find their rest for a time; 
But their camp shall ever be to the South, for there doth the breath of Elohim preside, and the fire of Elohim, and the strength of Elohim. 
¶ And after thy seed shall slumber for a time, El Elyon shall send out thy brother, Ephraim, to awaken thy seed, and though they shall reject him at the first, he shall strive until thy seed hath found their rest.

Chapter 22

The Tribe of Simeon: He has Heard My Suffering

And filled with the breath of Ha’Elohim, Jacob spoke unto his son Simeon, saying: Simeon and Levi are brethren; their mekerah are vessels of malicious violence. 
O that my soul should never come into their secret! Mine honor shall not be united to their assembly! 
For in their anger, they slew a man, and they killed beasts for pleasure. 
Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce, and their wrath, for it was cruel; and for this, Simeon, thy right hand did wither; yet in thy reproach was it healed. 
And thus, to protect thy seed, YHVH will divide them and scatter them in Israel; 
Therefore, thy throne shall be imprisoned by thy brother, Judah, and set to the South, and he shall be thy protection; 
For when thy brethren are driven North, thou shalt be protected but for a time; 
And thou shalt be taken and scattered throughout the earth with thy brother, Judah and shall suffer with him. 
But thy camp shall ever be to the South, for there doth the breath of Elohim preside, and the fire of Elohim, and the strength of Elohim. 
¶ And in the tenth month, even in the winter, thou shalt find thy strength, that when the spring shall come, thy seed should be ready; 
And thou art as the tower, for thy strength is great, and the sword in the hand of thy seed shall flow with power. 
And thy seed shall seek violence, being rash; therefore, they shall be held back for a time by thy brethren; yet when they shall be sent forth, they shall be a scourge of justice. 
¶ And in the last days, when all ye my sons shall gather in thy strength, thy seed shall be an army and the defender of Israel; 
And a green banner shall go out before thee and thy seed, and the understanding of YHVH shall be with thy seed in the last days. 
And they shall make thy boarders and shall serve to protect all they that seek Israel for protection; 
But these should be not rash, and learn to temper their righteous justice with mercy, for YHVH loveth all the creation; 
Therefore, remember, thou my son, a sheathed sword and a sharp tongue can win more wars by the bringing of peace: 
But when peace should not be established, know to strike quickly, that thine enemies might know thy strength and settle in peace for they are overtaken. 
¶ And thy daughters shall be taught to carry the shield, and to defend the defenseless, and seek justice for they that findeth not succor; 
And their tongues shall be as swords, and their words shall carry, and the thunderings of El Elyon shall be heard in their cries; 
And their victories shall be swift, and they shall repent of their ways and seek justice for the creation of Elohim. 
And the proud shall they bring low, and the haughty shall they exhume that the light of the Creator might shine brightly. 
Wherefore, know thou, my son Simeon, that even as thy hand was withered for a time and then healed, so too shall thy seed be restored in fullness at the last days.

Chapter 23

The Tribe of Levi: He will Unite Israel

And filled with the breath of Ha’Elohim, Jacob spoke unto his son Levi, saying: 
Levi, thou used the strength of thy cunning beside thy brother, Simeon; and in this it is even as I said before: the mekerah of you are vessels of malicious violence. 
For in your secret assembly, and in your anger, you slew a man, and sought death at thy pleasure; 
Therefore, thou too shall be cursed by thy anger, and thy fierce wrath, for thy deeds were cruel. 
But in thy penance thou sought the succor of YHVH and to serve YHVH, and this thy seed shall do: 
And thus, that thy seed should serve YHVH, YHVH will divide them and scatter them throughout Israel; 
Therefore, thy throne shall be broken apart for a time and for times, and thy seed shall serve to unite thy brethren, even as thou once divided them. 
¶ And when that time shall come for my children to leave this land, YHVH shall rise one up from thy seed to give my sons and my daughters the Torah of YHVH; 
And he shall be taken in, as was thy brother Joseph, by the Egyptians, and they shall teach him in war; yet he shall run and hide from the face of them. 
And his brother shall open his mouth that my son shall be heard; and his sister shall be riled up along side him, and these three shall be the salvation of Israel from Egypt. 
¶ And when thy brethren are driven to the North, and to the East, and to the South, and to the West, thy seed shall be with them; 
For thou shalt be taken and scattered throughout the earth with thy brethren and shall suffer with them. 
And in the first month, even when the spring shall come, thy seed shall make ready that sacrifice in righteousness. 
And thou art as a veil between the heavens and the earth, for through thy seed shall the power of YHVH prepare the creation for the coming down of the heavens. 
¶ But when the veil shall be torn, thy seed shall share in these duties with thy brethren and sistren, yet ye shall teach them that they should know to do so in righteousness. 
And thy daughters shall do likewise, and pour out their libations to wash the earth clean, and find joy in the wisdom of Ha’Elohim and serve YHVH in righteousness; 
And they shall sing the holy songs and dance the holy dances before YHVH for the pleasure of Ha’Elohim. 
And a banner of white, and black, and red shall go out before thee and thy seed, for the love of YHVH shall be their foundation and their strength. 
¶ And in the last days, ye shall remember my holy days and teach them to thy brethren, 
Both thy sons and thy daughters shall work with thy brother, Ephraim, to bring them back to their inheritance; 
And thy remembrance shall be great, and thy covenants shall be restored to thee, and thou shall teach thy brethren again to remember the law of sacrifice. 
And thy sons and thy daughters shall work as one to teach my seed, yea and even all of the creation: 
To prepare the earth, to cleans the earth, and to love all of this, the creation of Elohim. 
¶ And Levi, my son, I give unto thee this charge: That thy seed shall not forget thy daughters, nor sell their birthright; 
For at the last days, wisdom shall be forgotten, but as a whisper upon the lips of the righteous; 
Forget not to plant the trees, and pour libations upon the altars, and burn the fire of incense that YHVH may be pleased in thy service. 
And be in council with thy brethren, that YHVH be remembered, and that knowledge be tempered by wisdom, and that strength be tempered by mercy, that my sons and daughters might find understanding in YHVH: 
For in thy cunning did thou bring much violence against my house; but in thy seed should thy cunning be used for the pleasure of YHVH Elohim; 
And at the last days, ye shall sit upon the throne with thy brethren and be remembered as he who united Israel in YHVH.

Chapter 24

The Tribe of Judah: Israel will Praise YHVH

And filled with the breath of Ha’Elohim, Jacob spoke unto his son Judah, saying: 
Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise; thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; the children of thy father shall bow down before thee; 
Therefore, thy camp shall be made at the East, yet thy throne shall be set to the South, and shall envelop thy brother Simeon and be his protector: 
For when thy brethren are driven North, thou shalt be protected but for a time; 
And then thou shalt be taken and scattered throughout the earth with thy brothers, Simeon and Levi, and a remnant of others of thy brethren, and shall suffer with them, 
But by thy name shall they be known, for thy seed shall hide them. 
¶ And in the third month, even as the summer comes in, thou shalt find thy strength, that the seeds shall be planted to feed thy brethren at the last time. 
For thou art as a young lion; from the prey, my son, thou art gone up; 
And thy sons shall crouch down, lying in wait, and thy daughters shall speak with the roar of a lioness—and who shall dare to stand against thy seed? 
For kings shall burst forth from thy seed, even Malchei HaMelachim by way of the fruit of thy loins. 
The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet until Shiloh shall come; and unto him shall the gathering of Israel be. 
¶ And I say unto thee, my son: That when the time should come, thou shalt slay thine own son in his righteousness, 
For it should come to pass that Judah shall bind his foal unto the vine and shall bind the son of that foal unto the choice vine: 
And this, my son, ye shall do that ye wash thy garments in wine and thy clothes in the blood of grapes; 
For their eyes, they shall darken as one with wine, and their teeth shall be white with milk; 
Therefore, they shall not see for their own drunkenness, and their mouths shall be filled with their own words. 
And thou shalt be driven from thy throne, and made to wonder the earth, yet thy seed shall be strong; 
¶ And at the last day Joseph shall send his son, Ephraim to set thee free, and a remnant of his seed shall listen; 
But at the first thou shalt drown in thy own tongue and harken not, but a remnant shall be reminded, and thy seed shall return home. 
But peace shall not be thy keeper, and war shall abound until that day when my brother Esau shall be remembered, and the blood of Isaac shall find peace. 
And before that day should come, thy seed shall be driven to the North, and to the South, and to the West, and to the East; 
And the blood of Abraham shall be as the very seed of Adam upon the earth. 
¶ And in the last days, when the house of Ephraim and the house of Judah shall be as one, Ephraim shall be the lawgiver, and Judah the judge, and a scarlet banner shall follow thee. 
And thy daughters shall shine as diamonds, coming forth after being hidden for time and times; 
And these shall be my High Priestesses and shall judge Israel with their voice as a lioness and shall bring those that would exalt themselves above Ha’Elohim to be made low.

Chapter 25

The Tribe of Dan: YHVH shall Bring Justice for Israel

And filled with the breath of Ha’Elohim, Jacob spoke unto his son Dan, saying: Dan shall plead for his people, that they be as one of the tribes of Israel; 
Therefore, thy throne shall be set to the West, and shall move to the North to the Eastern most boarders; 
For ye shall be one with Manasseh, the eldest son of thy brother, that thou should repent of thy treachery. 
And in the eighth month, even before the winter should come in, thou shalt find thy strength, that when the winter should come, thy seed shall be ready; 
For thou art a serpent by the way, an adder in the path that biteth the heel of the horse, so that his rider should fall to the West. 
And many shall come to thy shore and shall lay with thee and shall teach thy seed of strange elohim. 
And in that day that thy seed shall be taken to the South, and in that day that thy seed should be taken to the North, war shall travel with thee and the fruit of thy loins shall cry out. 
¶ And at the last days shalt thou gather them up unto YHVH; and they should rebel at the first, following elohim made by the hands of men; 
For Dan shall make his bed with Lilith, that great temptress; and a darkness shall wash over thy seed, and the light of YHVH shall be to them as a great mystery; 
But thy brother Manasseh shall seek thee out, and find thee, and be thy salvation. 
And with a blue banner thy seed shall seek the glory of YHVH, and shall sing: I have waited for thy salvation, O YHVH! 
And then shall it be that by the name of thy brother, Manasseh that ye shall be one again in Israel, forsaking the crafts of men; 
And thy altars shall stinketh no more, and thy ways of war shall be the defense of Israel; for thy ways shall be slippery no more, but thy craft shall be bought in righteousness. 
And for this, thou shall not lose thy birthright, but shall be one in Israel, that none should divide my sons. 
¶ And thy daughters shall not be barren, but shall fill the North and the South with thy seed; 
And from the North they shall travel to the West and thy seed shall be with thy brother Joseph and shall bring strength to him. 
And thy daughters shall harken unto thy brother, Manasseh and cease to lead men astray, and shall succor the poor and the needy; 
And these too shall be mighty hands of justice, lifting up their voices in defense of Manasseh, who’s lands shall be taken and must need be returned. 
¶ And the seed of Dan and the seed of Manasseh shall be one in YHVH, and the daughters of Dan and the daughters of Manasseh shall as one reclaim their birthright; 
And their camp shall ever be to the North, for thy seed are of the earth, and there doth the cup of Elohim preside, and the face of Elohim, and the wisdom of Elohim. 
And at the last days the Torah shall come from the mouths of thy daughters even as they shall join with thy sisters, the daughters of Levi. 
And a mighty prophetess shall come from thy seed to bring justice to the earth, and to reclaim the moon, and to bring pleasure to the eyes of YHVH. 
And she shall speak in the name of YHVH and be of the seed of Ephraim and also of Dan; and Manasseh shall reign with her, for she shall be the judger of YHVH in that day. 
Therefore, my son, flee from all evil; flee from envy, and hatred; grasp to that which is good, and the love of YHVH; that thy heart be not defiled, and the breath of Elohim shall rest upon thee.

Chapter 26

The Tribe of Naphtali: The Struggle of Israel

And filled with the breath of Ha’Elohim, Jacob spoke unto his son Naphtali, saying: Naphtali is a doe let loose; he giveth goodly words and maketh beautiful his tongue, 
And thy seed shall run swiftly and sound the shofar, for thy pity for thy brother, Joseph, shall be remembered and thy voice shall be heard at last; 
Therefore, thy throne shall be set to the East and to the North and shall be a wall to defend Israel. 
And in the twelfth month as the spring should come in, thou shalt find thy strength, that when the summer arises, thy seed shall be ready, having planted fruitful seed. 
And I would that thou should stand not with thy brother, Joseph, in that day that my seed should be taken to the North: 
For war shall travel with thee and the fruit of thy loins shall cry out, and thy camp shall ever be to the North, yet thou shall reject thy brothers, Levi and Judah. 
But when thy brother, Joseph, was sold, thou wouldst not eat; therefore, thy seed shall be fed and shall be as an army come to devour; 
Therefore, thy seed shall carry a banner of dark red, and the amethyst shall speak unto thee and unto thy seed. 
¶ And at the last days thy seed shall war with thy brother, Dan, in defense of Israel, and together these shall keep the peace, and none shall dare to make war against Israel. 
And thy daughters shall bring healing waters unto all they who shall desire to drink of it, that they should find strength in YHVH. 
And El Elyon shall be with thee and thy seed and watch over them as they flee to the islands of the sea, and to the mountains, and to the North, and to the East, for the blood of Abraham shall cover all of the earth in that day; 
And thy sons shall cry out for mercy, and it shall be given them, and thy daughters shall give of their passion and YHVH Elohim shall accept of their offering. 
¶ And to thy seed the teachings and the traditions shall not be wholly lost, but a remnant shall be with thee, and the Tree of Life shall rise before thee; 
And this because thou took pity on the man that came unto my house in distress in the winter, 
And it was he that took the coat of many colors that I had made for thy brother Joseph; 
And in my sorrow, I grieved that this treasure was gone, yet I did not know that it had been returned to my son, Joseph; 
Therefore, it shall be that its secrets shall be shared with thy seed, and a remnant shall remember. 
And in that day when the wisdom written upon the coat of thy brother shall again adorn the earth, thy seed shall remember, and shall come home to their inheritance. 
¶ And at the last day, thou shall be a bridge between Judah and Levi, and Levi and Joseph, and between Joseph and Judah, and the dove of peace shall be with thee. 
And in that day, YHVH Elohim shall exalt the humble, for El Elyon loveth they that are despised and rejected by the sons of man; 
Therefore, my son, fall not asleep unto YHVH, but remember YHVH the Elohim of us, and at the last day every spirit of deceit shall be trodden down by thy hands.

Chapter 27

The Tribe of Gad: The Fortune of YHVH

And filled with the breath of Ha’Elohim, Jacob spoke unto his son Gad, saying: O my son, Gad! 
Raiders shall overcome thee; but thy camp shall be set to the South, and there thou shall find the breath of Elohim, and the strength of Elohim, and the fire of Elohim; 
Therefore, thou shall overcome at the last, and thy throne shall be set to the East. 
And in the seventh month, even as the summer ends, thou shalt find thy strength, that when the winter should come, thy seed shall be ready. 
And in that day that my sons shall be divided, thou shall be taken to the North, and the seas that was afore as a wall unto thee shall be thy home. 
¶ And at the last days, thou shall be found as one wandering about the earth, a shepherd and a herdsman shall thy seed be in the eyes of YHVH. 
And in that day when darkness shall be called light, bitterness called sweet, slander and lies called truth, and violence and covetousness called peace thy sons and daughters shall awaken: 
And these shall be a mighty power in the name of YHVH, for they shall be a force of humility and enlighten the eyes of Adam that they be the sons and daughters of Elohim. 
And thy seed shall be valiant in watching over the flocks, that when the wild beasts should come, thou shalt pursue and overtake them. 
Yet thou art one of action, and so too shall thy seed be, thy sons and thy daughters shall ever be on the lookout and shall not rest until Israel is gathered. 
¶ And thy sons shall stand ready and be watchmen over Israel, and thy daughters shall dream dreams and their visions shall surely come to pass; 
For thy sons shall put their trust in YHVH in that day and make clear the path that all of Israel might be one in YHVH Elohim again. 
And thy daughters shall be seers and shall find that which has been lost, 
And their mothers shall watch over the stakes of Zion as a hen over her nest, for Zion and Israel shall be one. 
And when the viper should strike, she shall be ready, and shall strike quickly and with deadly force; 
Therefore, thy daughters shall be a wonder and a sight before all Israel; and all shall say: YHVH is with the daughters of Gad, for these be seers of YHVH. 
¶ And thy sons shall dawn the regiment of war, yet they shall not conquer but declare peace, for the fear of YHVH shall be in them to the sons of man. 
And a blue banner shall be seen as their armies march, and words shall be written upon them that no man shall understand but by the breath of YHVH. 
And mercy shall go before thy way, and it shall be as a light in the darkness unto the children of man: 
Therefore, my son Gad, go thy way in peace, and rest for a time and times that thou might find thy shame and conquer it for the sake of YHVH and for the sake of Israel. 
And behold, fear not; for YHVH Elohim, El Elyon, El Shaddai shall be thy vengeance and shall be thy salvation.

Chapter 28

The Tribe of Asher: The Blessing of Israel

And filled with the breath of Ha’Elohim, Jacob spoke unto his son Asher, saying: 
Out of Asher shall come much grains and fat breads, for thou art as the olive tree, and thou shall yield delicacies befitting thy King; 
Therefore, thy throne shall be set to the East, and the sea shall be as a wall upon thee, for thou art the peace of Israel. 
And in the eleventh month, there shall be heavy rains upon the earth that thou shalt find thy strength, and that the earth should be prepared for thee, and thy seed shall be ready; 
For thy seed shall wear two faces, and they that seek peace shall see the face of war upon thee; and they that see war shall see the face of peace; 
Therefore, let thy hands be thy strength in Ha’Elohim and thy tongue be thy weapon in YHVH that none might defeat thee. 
Seek ye after truth, and YHVH shall lead thee, and the breath of Elohim shall be thy breath, and the voice of Ha’Elohim shall be upon thy tongue; 
And in that day, after thou hast been driven North, thy seed shall lay waste to those that should oppress them, and their strength shall be made known. 
¶ And at the last day thy sons shall bear the weight of bartering in Israel, that the will of YHVH be known and the justice of Elohim be made whole; 
For in that day, brother shall turn against brother, sister against sister; father against son, and mother against daughter; 
So it is that they who shall slay the wicked too shall be wicked and they that slay the just shall also be just; and thy seed shall be their defenders. 
And thy seed shall be tasked with the treaties of Israel; therefore, thy camp shall ever be to the North, for there doth the wisdom of Elohim preside. 
¶ And thy daughters in that day shall be made clean and shall prepare the table for the banquet that Israel might make feasts in the name of YHVH; 
And they shall pour out their libations upon the altars and serve up the wine to those that shall drink to the reign of the true King; 
And the king of peace shall guide them, and the tower of YHVH shall defend them and be their strength, and thy daughters shall even be as watchmen upon the towers. 
And thy sons also shall stand watch and make ready that the sons of Levi should come forth from their midst and offer up a sacrifice unto YHVH Elohim in righteousness. 
¶ And in that day, thou shall sit with Levi and with Judah and study the words of YHVH to know the teachings of Ha’Elohim; 
Therefore, my son Asher, cease not thy prayers and thy supplication before YHVH, but seek after the wisdom of Elohim that it should grow in the land as a tree of great strength; 
And that tree shall be unto thee as a pillar of righteousness before YHVH Elohim, and written upon it shall be the understanding of Ha’Elohim; 
For even as the serpent shall wind itself upon thy feet and bruise thy heel, the pillar of El Elyon shall bear down to smash its head, even as thou art knelt in thy supplication; 
Therefore, carve the name of YHVH into the pillars, and carve the Torah of YHVH into the pillars, and wear these upon thy heart that the justice and mercy of YHVH Elohim be known.

Chapter 29

The Tribe of Issachar: The Reward of Israel

And filled with the breath of Ha’Elohim, Jacob spoke unto his son Issachar, saying: Issachar is a strong ass, stretched out between two mounds; 
And seeing that his resting place was good, and the land, that it was pleasant, he shall pitch his tent upon the neck of the hill and begin his labors upon the earth; 
Therefore, his throne shall rest to the North, and be placed between the East and the West that the knowledge and wisdom of Yah and the mercy of YHVH shall guide him. 
¶ And in the fifth month, when the grapes should be ready for harvest, that the wine of YHVH might be made, thy strength shall come, that thy seed might find joy in the harvest; 
For the moon shall shine full and bright for thy daughters, and thy sons shall study the words of YHVH that they might teach all of Israel the will of El Elyon; 
For Issachar is a learned man, and his seed shall too be learned in the ways of the earth, 
And they shall read the stars and seek after the signs and wonders Ha’Elohim hath written upon them. 
And thy sons shall know the times, and thy daughters shall raise their children in wisdom and in all cunning things; 
Therefore, thy camp shall be made to the East, for there doth the knowledge of Elohim dwell, even upon the qafim. 
¶ And in that day that thy seed should be driven North, thy seed shall scatter upon the winds and upon the seas; 
And thy seed shall be rooted deep within the earth, yet YHVH shall uproot thee that thy seed should be made to spread out. 
And at that last day, thy daughters shall come in and shall enlighten the sons of man with their knowledge, 
And thy sons shall go forth and shall teach the daughters of man with their wisdom; 
Therefore, thy seed shall lift up their heads from out of the earth, and their eyes they shall pull away from the stars that they might teach all of Israel the secrets of YHVH: 
For Israel is not to be ruled by the heavens, but YHVH shall be their guide, 
And Ha’Elohim hath written out His decree upon the skies, yet Israel is to bring the will of YHVH to the earth, while all other creation is governed by their decree. 
¶ Wherefore, Issachar, teach thy seed to covet not after gold, nor costly apparel, but to wait upon the will of Ha’Elohim and El Elyon, that the spirits of deceit shall have no power over them; 
Yea, teach thy seed to love the creation even as YHVH loveth His creation, and to have compassion for the lowly, and the poor, and the weak: 
Issachar, my son, teach thy seed to seek not after slippery things they cannot hold, for this shall lead many to covetousness, fornication, and malice; 
But teach thy seed the comfort of YHVH Elohim, and to share their bread with the poor, and suckle those in need, and to serve their enemies. 
And this shall be a hard thing for them, for their eyes shall wonder off after mysteries, but if they will harken unto YHVH their Elohim, great shall be the reward of Israel.

Chapter 30

The Tribe of Zebulun: The Honor of Israel

And filled with the breath of Ha’Elohim, Jacob spoke unto his son Zebulun, saying: 
Zebulun shall dwell to the West and westward; he shall become a haven for truth resting between the seas, and his border shall be unto Zidon; 
Therefore, his throne shall be to the North and to the West and to the East that thy honor shall be as a sacrifice unto Israel. 
And in the fourth month, even at the summer, thy seed shall be planted that thy crops may be gathered, and Israel fed, and that thy calves be made fat, and that their bread be full; 
For thou didst weep for thy brother, Joseph and kept Israel’s secret with a troubled heart; therefore, mercy shall be great in thy seed, and the fatted lamb shall be thine to give. 
¶ And when Israel shall be ready for to flee this land, thy brother, Levi, shall take refuge and should flee unto thy seed, 
And he shall bless him and take him in as one of his own that he be ready to deliver my children from their bondage. 
And thy seed shall be united and divided, for they shall be as a watchman over thy brother, Issachar, and shall be blessed by the seed of Issachar even as they shall be a blessing to him. 
¶ And a remnant of thy seed shall follow my brother, Esau, and shall find YHVH by his seed, and epistles of wisdom shall come from the tongue of thy seed; 
And these shall reject truth at first, but then they shall make their camp to the East and at last remember YHVH. 
And thy seed shall be blessed, and their blessings shall pour out over all Israel, that the blessings of Israel should extend to the whole of the earth, 
That in that day, none in the boarders of Israel should starve or parish but should be saved. 
¶ And at the last days, the daughter of Zion shall stand forth, and remind the earth of their covenant with YHVH, and return the cup of Elohim to the temple, that libations might be poured upon the altar, 
And that that which was hidden should be found, and that which had been in darkness shall come to light. 
And a cloth shall be placed over her, to hide her, yet YHVH shall make her as to shine, that none shall see the tarp, but only that light from within. 
And thy daughters shall stand ready to feed the earth, and to care for her creation, and to bless and to heal the sick, and to stand at the altars. 
And thy sons shall go out with hands extended, giving alms to the poor, and giving goods with no price, and shall want for nothing, and shall ask for nothing, but shall give as YHVH hath bless them. 
And thy seed shall have compassion in their hearts towards the bowels of mankind, and for the beasts, and for the fowl of the air, and for the fish of the sea, and the plants; yea and all the creation of Ha’Elohim; 
And thou shall not seek to rule over Israel but shall be as a king among them. 
¶ And when Israel shall be as a man in the cold of winter with no shoes or coat, Zebulun shall find him, 
And he shall give him meat from his house, and the shoes off his feet, and the coat that is upon him. 
And when Israel has grown sick from fever, Zebulun shall give him to eat, and to drink, and shall care for him until he is again well; 
For thy seed shall be as the waters, divided by the land, yet always seeking the path back that ye may gather as one again; 
Therefore, teach thy seed that they are to correct without malice, and not be consumed by anger, and this that they shall be brought when the time of YHVH shall come in.

Chapter 31

Our Mother Dinah: The Vindication of Israel

And filled with the breath of Ha’Elohim, Jacob spoke unto his daughter Dinah, saying: Dinah is the rose of Israel; 
For she taketh the cup of the salvation of Israel, and pours libations upon the altar of YHVH; 
Therefore, her throne shall be found in all of Israel, and she shall come down from the North as the South shall come up, and the East and the West shall embrace her. 
For in that day that Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the region, saw thee, his passion was drawn, and his soul clung to thee; 
And he loved thee and spoke to thee tenderly in his passions; and he declared unto his father: Get me this young maiden as my wife. 
¶ And it came to pass that thy brothers, Simeon and Levi, did hear rumors most foul; that this man should take thee, and to lie with thee by force; 
Therefore, did they do this crime unto me, saying: That all of the house of Hamor should damage themselves for this marriage to come to pass. 
And even after the house of Hamor accepted this deception, thy brothers, Simeon and Levi, did come into their house to wage war and to kill them and to rob them, and to defile them; 
For they saw this mingling of blood as the mingling of the poor and the unpoor, the unholy and the holy, and they became even that which they had feared: 
They saw not that thou should bring YHVH unto the house of Hamor, but only that his house was unworthy. 
And my house did give up much to keep the peace between Israel and the Canaanites and Perizzites, that they not unite against me and attack me, that Israel be not destroyed. 
And now we see that thy marriage is strong, and that the House of Hamor is no more, but is as one of Israel, through thee, my daughter. 
¶ And in the third year, the twelfth month shall fall twice as the spring should come in, that Israel shalt regain her strength, that when the summer arises, her joy should come in; 
For by the fruit of thy labors shall Israel be united with all the creation, that the fullness might come in; 
Therefore, by the fruit of the trees shall Israel know that thy month hath come in. 
¶ And in the last days, after the sons of Israel cease to put aside their wives and their daughters, and the Face of Elohim hath no longer been forgotten, thou shall be remembered, my daughter; 
And my sons shall regain their strength as they return unto thee thy birthright, and make thy paths known, and keep thy secrets no longer. 
For thy brothers, Simeon and Levi, these did ask of me: Shall he make our sister like a harlot? 
Yet in their rash anger, and in their violence, they did treat thee as such, seeing thee as a possession to own, and not as the strength that thou art; 
Therefore, in the last days when thy brother Levi shall remember their sister, and when Simeon shall see thy strength, thou shalt return again Israel from blindness and vengeance unto peace. 
And the dove of peace shall be made known, and the Tree of Life shall bear fruit, and thy daughters shall serve Israel even as thy brothers, and the flowers shall bloom again upon the earth.

Chapter 32

The Tribe of Joseph: YHVH will Add to Israel

And filled with the breath of Ha’Elohim, Jacob spoke unto his son Joseph, saying: Joseph is a fruitful son, even a fruitful son by a spring, whose daughters march over the wall; 
Therefore, his throne shall span from the West and to the East with thy son Manasseh to the North, and with thy son Ephraim to the South that thy seed might cover the whole earth; 
For YHVH hath decreed that thy seed should never perish so long as the earth shall stand. 
And thy seed shall spring forth as one gone over a well, and YHVH shall rise up from thee a righteous branch from the fruit of thy loins; 
¶ And in the sixth month, even at the time of the harvest, thy seed shall be sent out for the last time that the crops may be gathered, and Israel fed. 
And the time of harvest shall surely come in; for the kingdom of YHVH Elohim is an everlasting kingdom which shall not pass away; 
But the kingdoms of men are like a slumber in the heat of the day, which after the summer shall leave him should disappear; 
And the bridegroom shall become enraged, yet thy throne shall abide in strength. 
Agile shall be thy hands, made strong by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, in the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel, 
Even by the Ha’Elohim of thy father, who shall help thee, by Elohim Shaddai, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, and with blessings of the abyss that lies under, and with blessings of the breasts and of compassion. 
The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my ancestors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills; 
And it shall come to pass that upon the head of Joseph, my son that was separated from his brethren, shall be the crown of Israel; 
And my son, Manasseh, shall make camp to the West, and with thy brother Dan to the North, whilst thy son Ephraim shall make his camp to the West; for therein dwelleth the mercy of YHVH. 
¶ And at the last days YHVH shall raise up from thy seed one that shall restore the Torah of YHVH unto my sons and my daughters; 
And he shall be born of Ephraim, and of Judah, and of Levi; but he shall be of the seed of Joseph and shall do the works of Ephraim. 
And in that day, my children shall not be ready, and shall fight bitterly one with another until he shall fall that would restore my sons and my daughter to the Elohim of our fathers; 
Yet he shall set the path straight, and shall once again call upon my daughters to heal the sick, and offer libations before the altar of YHVH. 
And others will YHVH call up to finish his work, for he shall be taken before his time, and this because of the wickedness of mankind. 
¶ And in that day shall thy daughters shall reach out to find the lost sheep of the Shepherd, and shall be leaders of men, and shall dream dreams and prophecy in the name of YHVH. 
And the daughter of Dan shall do the works of Ephraim and shall help to finish that which the son of Joseph should begin; 
And many daughters shall be called upon to do the works of YHVH, and great and marvelous shall the works of YHVH be, even as such that the earth hath never before seen! 
¶ And thy sons shall fight one with another at the first, and that adversary will be given power over them, 
But a remnant shall come forth from Ephraim to unify my sons and daughters that the prophecies of YHVH that I have given unto Israel this day shall be made known and should come to pass; 
For even as this remnant of the garment of my son, Joseph hath been preserved, so shall a remnant of the seed of my son be preserved by the hand of Ha’Elohim, 
And be taken unto Himself, while the remainder of the seed of Joseph shall perish, even as the remnant of his garment; 
Therefore, my son Joseph, continue to walk in the mitzvoth of YHVH and El Elyon shall exalt thee and shall bless thee and thy seed with the good things of the earth and of the heavens forever and ever.

Chapter 33

The Tribe of Benjamin: The Right Hand of Israel

And filled with the breath of Ha’Elohim, Jacob spoke unto his son Benjamin, saying: 
Benjamin shall be as a ravenous wolf; at the dawn he shall devour the prey, and at twilight he shall divide his possessions; 
Therefore, his throne shall be bordered between the North and the South, between the East and the West, that Israel should look inward. 
And at the beginning of thy seed this shall be as a watchman over thee, but at the end it shall be as an example unto Israel. 
¶ And in the second month, when the light of spring should come, thou shalt gather up the seeds from the previous harvest, and make them ready, that they be planted in their times; 
For thy seed shall find rest inward, even as a seed planted in the ground, that the roots may dig deep to find their nourishment, 
And that their leaves might stretch forth to the sky to gather the warmth of the sun and drink deeply from the rains. 
And thy inner wisdom shall grant thee and thy seed inner sight, and a gift of reading the stars, 
And the night sky shall tell thee when all times should come to pass, even as they told thee that thy brother Joseph wast dwelling here, in Egypt. 
¶ And after my seed should flee Egypt and to return unto YHVH, thy seed shall be a grievous strain, and thy sword shall be in thy left hand; 
And for thy sins, they should nearly be destroyed, and lost after my son should again be separated, 
But thy seed shall hide among thy brother, Judah, and shall be made safe that their ways of war should be lost, and their battle should shift from those around them to that within. 
¶ And thy camp shall be made to the West, that at the last days, thy sister, Dinah, shall find thee, and should bring thee home. 
And the coat of many colors, torn asunder by thy brethren, shall be sewn together once more, and shall be worn by thy brother, Joseph, in righteousness. 
And in that day, thy daughters shall be freed from the captivity of thy sons, and shall shine forth as a light in the darkness to bring the glory of YHVH to the earth; 
And a dove of peace shall descend from thy seed and shall lead the daughters of Israel into battle, that they should remember their place. 
And thy sons shall kneel, and stand ashamed for their forbearance, and shall set aside their gains and divide their spoils that all of Israel should be free and reap the blessings of thy seed. 
¶ O remember, my son, that the sword of man is the death of mankind, and his blood shall cry out from the earth; 
Therefore, Benjamin, my son, be thou a follower of compassion, showing mercy to all mankind, even they with evil in their hearts for thee, 
And showing the poor man mercy that the malakim of the heavens should sing thy praises before YHVH. 
Do this, and YHVH, even El Elyon, shall give unto thee and thy seed an everlasting possession, 
And that ye should no longer be called a ravenous wolf, but a worker of YHVH, giving nourishment to those in need, and doing works which are good in the sight of YHVH. 
¶ And all these are the twelve tribes of Israel, the twelve sons of Jacob and his daughter also: 
And these are the final words that their father, Jacob, spoke unto them and blessed them; everyone according to his blessing did he bless them.

Chapter 34

The Death of Jacob

And it came to pass that Jacob spoke unto his sons, and he did charge them and said unto them: I am to be gathered unto my people; bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron, the Hittite, 
In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which our father, Abraham bought with the field of Ephron, the Hittite, for a possession of a burying place. 
For there they buried Abraham our father, and Sarah our mother, his wife; 
And there too they buried Isaac our father, and Rebekah our mother, his wife; and there I buried Leah. 
The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth. 
And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people; 
And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him. 
¶ And Jacob had lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; Jacob grew in YHVH to the hundred forty and seventh degree. 
And it came to pass that Joseph commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father; and the physicians embalmed Jacob. 
¶ And after forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed; and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days. 
¶ And it came to pass that when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke unto the house of Pharaoh, saying: If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying: 
My father made me swear, saying: Lo, I die; in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. 
Now, therefore, I pray thee, let me go up and bury my father; and I will come back here again. 
And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt, 
And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and the house of his father; only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds they left in the land of Goshen. 
And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen; and it was a very great company. 
And they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan; and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation; and he made a mourning for his father seven days. 
¶ And it came to pass that when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said: This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians; wherefore, the name of it was called Abel-mizraim, which is beyond Jordan. 
And the sons of Jacob did unto him according as he commanded them; 
For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a burying place of Ephron, the Hittite, before Mamre. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father. 
¶ And it came to pass that when the brethren of Joseph saw that their father was dead, they said: Joseph will peradventure hate us and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him. 
And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying: Thy father did command before he died, saying: 
So shall ye say unto Joseph: Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil; 
And now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the Elohim of thy father. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joseph wept when they spoke unto him. 
And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said: Behold, we be thy servants. 
And Joseph said unto them: Fear not; for am I in the place of Elohim? 
But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but Ha’Elohim meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive; 
Now, therefore, fear ye not; I will nourish you and your little ones. 
And it came to pass that Joseph comforted his brothers and he spoke kindly unto them.

Chapter 35

The Vision of Joseph

And it came to pass that Joseph dwelt in Egypt; and Joseph and Asenath saw the children of their son Ephraim up unto even the third generation; 
The children of Machir also, the son of Manasseh, were brought up upon the knees of Joseph and Asenath. 
¶ And it came to pass that in his old age, Joseph said unto his brethren: I die and go unto my fathers; and I go down to my grave with joy. 
The Elohim of my father Jacob be with you, to deliver you out of affliction in the days of your bondage; 
For the angel of YHVH hath visited me, and I have obtained a promise of YHVH that out of the fruit of my loins YHVH Elohim will raise up a righteous branch out of my loins; 
And unto thee, whom my father Jacob hath named Israel, a prophet (not the Messiah who is called Shiloh); and this prophet shall deliver my people out of Egypt in the days of thy bondage. 
And it shall come to pass that they shall be scattered again; and a branch shall be broken off and shall be carried into a far country; 
Nevertheless, they shall be remembered in the covenants of YHVH when the Messiah cometh; 
For he shall be made manifest unto them in the latter days, in the Spirit of power, and shall bring them out of darkness into light—out of hidden darkness and out of captivity unto freedom. 
¶ And a seer shall YHVH my Elohim raise up, who shall be a choice seer unto the fruit of my loins. 
Thus saith YHVH, the Elohim of my fathers unto me: A choice seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins, and he shall be esteemed highly among the fruit of thy loins; 
And unto him will I give commandment, that he shall do a work for the fruit of thy loins, his brethren; 
And his brethren, which shall be of great worth unto them, even to the bringing of them to the knowledge of the covenants which I have made with thy fathers. 
And I will give unto him a commandment, that he shall do none other work, save the work which I shall command him; 
And I will make him great in mine eyes: for he shall do my work. 
And he shall be great like unto Moses, whom I have said I would raise up unto you, to deliver my people, O house of Israel. 
And this Moses will I raise up, to deliver My people out of the land of Egypt, but a seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins; 
And unto him will I give power to bring forth my word unto the seed of thy loins; 
And not to the bringing forth of my word only, saith YHVH, but to the convincing them of my Word, which shall have already gone forth among them; 
Wherefore, the fruit of my loins shall write; and the fruit of the loins of Judah shall write; 
And that which shall be written by the fruit of thy loins, and also that which shall be written by the fruit of the loins of Judah, shall grow together, unto the confounding of false doctrines, and laying down of contentions, 
And establishing peace among the fruit of thy loins, and bringing them to the knowledge of their fathers in the latter days; and also to the knowledge of my covenants, saith YHVH. 
¶ And out of weakness he shall be made strong, in that day when my work shall commence among all my people, unto the restoring thee, O house of Israel, saith YHVH. 
Behold, that seer will YHVH bless; and they that seek to destroy him, shall be confounded: 
For this promise, of which I have obtained of YHVH, of the fruit of my loins, shall be fulfilled; behold, I am sure of the fulfilling of this promise. 
And his name shall be called after me; and it shall be after the name of his father, 
And he shall be like unto me; for the thing which YHVH shall bring forth by his hand, by the power of YHVH shall bring my people unto salvation. 
I am sure of this thing, even as I am sure of the promise of Moses: for the angel of YHVH hath said unto me: I will preserve thy seed forever. 
¶ And the angel of YHVH hath said: YHVH will raise up a Moses, and I will give power unto him in a rod, and will give judgment unto him in writing; 
Yet YHVH will not loose his tongue, that he shall speak much: for YHVH will not make him mighty in speaking; 
But YHVH will write unto him the Torah, by the finger of the hand of YHVH; and will make a spokesman for him. 
¶ And the angel of YHVH said unto me also: YHVH will raise up unto the fruit of thy loins; and will make for him a spokesman; 
And behold, YHVH will give unto him, that he shall write the writing of the fruit of thy loins, unto the fruit of thy loins; and the spokesman of thy loins shall declare it. 
And the words which he shall write, shall be the words which is expedient in my wisdom, should go forth unto the fruit of thy loins; 
And it shall be as if the fruit of thy loins had cried unto them from the dust: 
For YHVH knoweth their faith, and they shall cry from the dust; yea, even teshuvah unto their brethren, even that after many generations have gone by them. 
¶ And it shall come to pass that their cry shall go, even according to the simpleness of their words: 
Because of their faith, their words shall proceed forth out of my mouth unto their brethren, which are the fruit of thy loins; 
And the weakness of their words will I make strong in their faith, unto the remembering of my covenant which I hath made unto thy fathers; 
¶ And the covenant which YHVH make with thee and thy seed, Joseph, is this: That wherever thy seed should dwell, inasmuch as they shall keep my commandments, they shall prosper in the land; 
And inasmuch as they will not keep my commandments, they shall be cut off from my presence. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joseph spoke unto them, saying: Teach thy children, therefore, bring them up in the right way that they should go, that they should not depart from it, and YHVH shall keep the covenants and my seed shall never perish as long as the earth should stand; 
Therefore, God will surely visit you and bring you out of this land unto the land which he swore unto Abraham, and unto Isaac, and unto Jacob. 
And Joseph confirmed many other things unto his brethren and took an oath of the children of Israel, saying unto them: Ha’Elohim will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joseph died, having reached the hundred and tenth degree. 
And they embalmed him, and they put him in a coffin in Egypt; and he was kept from burial by the children of Israel, that he might be carried up and laid in the sepulcher with his father. 
And it came to pass that when Israel left the land of Egypt, they did remember the oath which they swore unto him, their father, Joseph.

3 Sefer Moses

The Book of Moses

The record of Moses, savior of Israel; the exodus of Israel from the world, and the Marriage Covenant of Israel with YHVH, as written by the hand of Moses.

Chapter 1

Israel in Bondage

The Testament of Moses, written after Israel had gone forth from the World to wander in the wilderness; 
The Exodus that was made by Moses in fulfillment of the prophecies given by our fathers, Jacob and Joseph: 
The writings that were made by Moses and given unto Joshua, the son of Nun, a man approved of YHVH, that he might be a safety for Israel, and of the tabernacle of YHVH, and its ark, with all its holy things, 
That he might bring Israel out of that wilderness and into the land given to our mothers and our fathers, 
That those lands should be given to them according to the covenant and the oath, which YHVH spoke unto Abraham and Sarah. 
¶ Now these are the names of the children of Jacob which came into Egypt, everyone according to his household who came with Jacob: 
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Dinah, and Benjamin. 
And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob into Egypt were seventy in all; for Joseph was already in Egypt. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation; 
And all of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding strong; and the land was filled with them. 
And it came to pass that there arose up a new king over Egypt which knew not Joseph, 
And he said unto his people: Behold! The people of Israel are more and mightier than we; 
Come; let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us; and so get them up out of the land. 
And it came to pass that Israel did the work of the men of Egypt day by day, and the Egyptians afflicted Israel that they should to lessen them in the land; 
And yet as the Egyptians increased upon Israel their labor, YHVH Elohim did increase Israel and they did multiply, until all the land of Goshen was filled with the Israelites; 
And Pharaoh saw that his counsel did fail against Israel, and that they increased and grew until Israel was numerous in the lands, 
But Pharaoh knew not YHVH, the Elohim of Israel, and so he would not relent. 
¶ And it came to pass that they did set over them task-masters to afflict them with their burdens; and Israel did build for Pharaoh many works, and even storehouses to hold his treasures. 
But the more they afflicted Israel, the stronger they became, and thus were the Egyptians grieved because of Israel. 
And the Egyptians did force upon Israel, making them to serve, working them with even greater severity: 
And they did make their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field; all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigor. 
¶ And it came to pass that the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah; 
And he said: When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women and see them upon the stools, if it be a son, then ye shall kill him; but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. 
But the midwives feared Ha’Elohim and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive. 
And the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said unto them: Why have ye done this thing and have saved the men children alive? 
And the midwives said unto Pharaoh: Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them; 
Therefore, Elohim dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied and waxed very strong. 
¶ And it came to pass, because the midwives feared Ha’Elohim, that He made them houses. 
But Pharaoh charged all his people, saying: Every son that is born unto Israel, ye shall cast into the river; and every daughter ye shall save alive.

Chapter 2

Mercy is Given to Israel

And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari; and it came to pass that Levi grew even to the one hundred thirty and seventh degree. 
And the sons of Gershon were Libni and Shimi, according to the genealogies. 
And the sons of Kohath were Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel; and Kohath grew to the one hundred thirty and third degree. 
And the sons of Merari were Mahali and Mushi; these are the families of Levi according to their generations. 
¶ And it came to pass that Amram, a man of the house of Levi, took him Yochebed, the sister of his father and a daughter of Levi, to wife; 
And the woman conceived and bore a daughter before the charge of Pharaoh, and they did name her Miriam, for bitter were the days of Israel. 
And it came to pass that Amram did know his wife, Yochebed, again, and she conceived and bore a son in the same year as the charged of Pharaoh unto the midwives, 
And they did name him Aaron, for Israel did need strength; for Pharaoh had begun to spill the blood of Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that Miriam grew, and was filled with the breath of Ha’Elohim; and it came to pass that she dreamed a dream, 
And in it she did see the malak, Haniel, clothed in fine linen, and he spoke unto her, saying: Speak unto thy father and thy mothers, saying: I am coming, and shall be born unto them, 
And I shall come out of the waters, and wonders and miracles shall I perform in the name of El Elyon, that Israel should be free. 
And in the morning she did prophecy and say unto all those in the house of her father: A son shall be born unto this house, and behold! He shall deliver Israel from out of Egypt! 
And her father, Amram, feared this saying: The Egyptians should hear this! and he forbid it; but her mother, Yochebed, she did carry these words in her heart. 
¶ And it came to pass that Amram did know his wife, Yochebed, again, and she conceived and bore a son, and they did not name him, but when she saw him, that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. 
And when it was that Yochebed could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with tar and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the brink of the river. 
And his sister, Miriam, stood afar off to know what would be done to him, for she did remember the words given her by Ha’Elohim. 
¶ And it came to pass that the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; 
And when the daughter of Pharaoh saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maidservant to fetch it. 
And when she had opened it, she saw the child; and behold, the babe wept. 
And she had compassion on the boy, saying: This is one of the Hebrew children. 
Then Miriam, the sister of Moses stood up, and revealed herself, saying to the daughter of the Pharaoh: Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee? 
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her: Go. 
And Miriam did go and called upon their mother, Yochebed. 
And the daughter of Pharaoh said unto the mother of the boy: Take this child away and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. 
And Yochebed did take her child and nursed him. 
¶ And it came to pass that the child grew, and Yochebed brought him unto the daughter of the Pharaoh; and he became her son. 
And she called his name Moses; and she said: Because I drew him out of the water; but she knew not that this was even as his fathers, Jacob and Joseph, and his sister, Miriam, had prophesied. 
And Moses was even as a prince in Egypt, and learned all of the ways of the Egyptians, even unto the ways of battles and he was a leader of armies; 
And so it was that Moses was trusted by Pharaoh, because of his love for his daughter: 
Yet Moses too was taught also by his mother, in all the ways of Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Moses was grown, he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens; and he spied an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren. 
And Moses looked this way and that way; and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Moses went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together; and he said to him that did the wrong: Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow? 
And he said: Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? Intendest thou to kill me as thou killedst the Egyptian? 
And Moses feared and said: Surely this thing is known. 
And when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses did flee from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian; and there he did dwell by a well. 
Now Jethro, the High Priest of El Elyon in Midian, had seven daughters; and they came, and drew water, and filled the troughs to water the flock of their father; 
And when the shepherds came in and began to drive them away, Moses arose and helped them, and he did water their flock. 
And when the daughters came to Reuel, Jethro, their father, he said: How is it that ye are come so soon today? 
And they said: An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock. 
And Jethro did say unto his daughters: And where is he? Why is it that ye have left the man behind? Call on him, that he may eat bread. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses was content to dwell with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah, his daughter, the High Priestess, in marriage. 
¶ And it came to pass that Zipporah bore a son; and they called his name Gershom, said Moses: I have been a stranger in a strange land. 
¶ And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died; and Israel sighed by reason of the bondage; and they cried, and their cry came up unto Ha’Elohim by reason of the bondage. 
And Elohim heard their groaning, and YHVH did remember His Covenant with the fathers of Israel; even with Abraham, and with Isaac, and with Jacob: 
And Ha’Elohim looked upon the children, and YHVH acknowledged them.

Chapter 3

The Voice

And it came to pass that Moses kept the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, Reuel —the priest of Midian; 
And he led the flock to the back side of the desert and came to the Mount of Ha’Elohim. 
And there did the angel of YHVH appear unto him, in a flame of fire within the very center of the bush. 
And Moses looked; and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed; 
And Moses said: I will now turn aside and see this marvelous sight—why is this bush not consumed? 
And when YHVH saw that Moses turned aside to see, Elohim called unto him out of the midst of the bush and said: Moses, Moses! 
And Moses said: Here am I. 
And Moses heard the Voice from the bush, saying: Draw not nigh hither; but put off thy shoes from off thy feet; for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. 
And the Voice continued, saying: I am the Elohim of thy father, the Elohim of Abraham, and the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob. 
And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon Ha’Elohim. 
¶ And YHVH said: I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their afflictions; 
And I am come down to deliver them from out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land unto a good and plenteous land, 
Yea, unto a land flowing with milk and honey, unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 
Now, therefore, behold, the cry of my child, Israel is come unto me; and I have also seen how severely the Egyptians do squeeze them. 
Go now, therefore; for I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people, my children, Israel, out of Egypt. 
¶ And then Moses said unto Ha’Elohim: Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh and that I should bring forth thy children, Israel, out of Egypt? 
And the Voice said: Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee that I have sent thee: 
When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve Ha’Elohim upon this mountain. 
And Moses said unto Ha’Elohim: Behold, when I come unto thy children, Israel, and shall say unto them: The Elohim of your fathers hath sent me unto you, and they shall say to me: By what name? what shall I say unto them? 
And Ha’Elohim said unto Moses: Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh (I AM THAT I AM); 
¶ And the Voice said: Thus shalt thou say unto Israel: The Creator hath sent me unto you. 
And Elohim said unto Moses moreover: Thus shalt thou say unto my children, Israel: YHVH, the Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob, hath sent me unto you; 
And this is my name: Everlasting, and by this name shall I be known and remembered unto all generations. 
¶ Go, and gather the men of the Elders of Israel together, and say unto them: YHVH the Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying: I have surely visited you and seen that which is done to you in Egypt; 
And I have said I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites unto a land flowing with milk and honey. 
And they shall hearken to thy voice; and thou shalt come, thou and the men of the Elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt; 
And ye shall say unto him: YHVH, the Elohim of the Hebrews, hath met with us; and now let us go, we beseech thee, and journey three days' into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to YHVH, our Elohim. 
And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless he is compelled by a mighty hand; 
Therefore, is shall give unto thee my sword, that I will stretch out my hand and smite Egypt with the many wonders which I will do in the midst thereof; 
And after that Pharaoh will let you go, and I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. 
And it shall come to pass that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty; but every woman shall ask of her neighbor and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment; 
And ye shall put them upon your sons and upon your daughters; and ye shall plunder the Egyptians.

Chapter 4

The Rod and the Witness

And Moses answered and said: But, behold, they will not believe me nor hearken unto my voice; for they will say: YHVH hath not appeared unto thee. 
And the angel of YHVH said unto him: What is that in thine hand? 
And Moses answered him, saying: A rod. 
And the Voice said: Pray over it, and bless it, even as thou wast showed when thou was given the Chereb, that it shall be a tool unto thee for a mighty work in my name, 
That Israel may believe that YHVH, the Elohim of their fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee. 
And Moses prayed over the rod, and he blessed it, and in the name YHVH did he bless the rod. 
And the Voice said: Cast the rod on the ground, and the angel of YHVH did place his finger upon it, and said unto Moses: Place it in thy right hand, for it is holy unto YHVH. 
And Moses picked up the rod, and the Voice said: Cast the rod on the ground. 
And when Moses cast it on the ground, lo! it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it. 
And the angel of YHVH said unto Moses: Now, put forth thine hand and take it by the tail. 
And Moses put forth his hand and caught it, and it became again a rod in his hand. 
¶ And the angel of YHVH said furthermore unto him: Put now thine left hand into thy bosom. 
And holding the rod in his right hand, Moses put his left hand into his bosom; and when he took it out, behold, his hand was as snow. 
And the Voice said: Put thy hand into thy bosom again. 
And Moses put his hand into his bosom again and plucked it out of his bosom; and behold, it was turned again as his other flesh. 
And the Voice said: It shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the Voice of the first sign, that they will believe the Voice of the latter sign. 
And it shall come to pass that if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, thou shalt take of the water of the river and tap it with thy rod, and pour it upon the dry land; and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land. 
¶ And Moses said unto the angel of YHVH: O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant; but I am slow of speech and of a slow tongue. 
And the angel of YHVH said unto him: Who hath made the mouth of man? Or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? Was it not the Creator Himself, YHVH? 
Now, therefore, go; and the Breath will be in thy mouth and teach thee what thou shalt say. 
And Moses said unto the angel of YHVH: O my Lord, there in Egypt did I slay a man, and Pharaoh doth seek my life! 
And the angel of YHVH said unto Moses: Go; return into Egypt; for all the men are dead which sought thy life. 
¶ And Moses said: O my Lord, I pray thee, another hand wilt thou send? 
And the anger of YHVH was kindled against Moses and the Voice said: Is not Aaron, the Levite, thy brother? I know that he can speak well; 
And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee; and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart. 
And thou shalt speak unto him and put words in his mouth; and I will be with thy mouth and with his mouth and will teach you what ye shall do; 
And thy spokesman he shall be unto the people; and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth; and thou shalt be his elohim. 
And the angel of YHVH said unto Moses: Thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs; 
And when thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in thine hand; and I will prosper thee; 
But behold, I shall harden the heart of Pharaoh, and Pharaoh will harden his heart, and he will not let my children go, that Israel shall see and should remember all that I do for her: 
And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh: Thus saith YHVH: Israel is my firstborn child; 
And I say unto thee: Let my children go that they may serve me; and if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses went, and returned to Jethro, his father-in-law, and thinking that he should not let him take his daughter out of that land, 
And Moses said unto him: Let me go, I pray thee, and let me return with thy daughter, who is my wife, unto my brethren which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. 
And Jethro said to Moses: Go in peace; for Jethro the Reuel knew Moses place in these things by the breath of Ha’Elohim. 
And it came to pass Moses took his wife and his sons and set them upon an ass, to return to the land of Egypt; and Moses took the rod of Ha’Elohim in his hand.

Chapter 5

The Lifeblood of Moses

And it came to pass that as Moses traveled, he did yet fear that he was traveling to his death by the hands of a new Pharaoh; therefore, he did try to plot a way out from his mitzvah. 
And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH appeared unto Moses as he was in the way, by an inn and did remind him of his duty in wrath; 
And the angel of YHVH did say unto Moses: And what should thou say, and whither should thou goest now that thou should flee YHVH Elohim? 
For thou hath been called, and thy excuses have been vain; therefore, there is but one more excuse that thou might give to flee thy duty before YHVH; 
Therefore, should I kill thee that Egypt should be saved from the wrath of YHVH? And that the salvation of thy brother, Israel, not be given? Would thou give up thy life for this? 
¶ And YHVH was angry with Moses, and Moses feared that the hand of YHVH was about to fall upon him to kill him; for Moses did see Mal’akh Ha’Mavet by the side; 
And Moses, not wishing Zipporah, his wife, to know is shame, did say unto her: I fear that Ha’Elohim should kill me, for we left suddenly and in haste, and did not damage our new born, this is the way of my people; 
And thus in his pride he did try to hide is troubles from his wife. 
And Moses had truly not circumcised his son, yet it was the heart of Moses, and his unwillingness to heed the call and the Voice that YHVH had given him that had angered Ha’Elohim, 
And for this, Ha’Elohim did send the angel of YHVH and Mal’akh Ha’Mavet to visit him, that the wrath of YHVH should be made known unto him. 
And so it was that Moses spoke unto his wife, Zipporah, saying: Surely we must damage our son, least YHVH should kill me! 
¶ But Zipporah too saw the angel of YHVH and had heard the word of YHVH, she being a High Priestess, and prophetess of El Elyon; 
And thus she knew that the anger YHVH was kindled against her husband for his unwillingness. 
And Zipporah too was angry with Moses, and thus it was that she went out about the ground in search of a sharp stone. 
And it came to pass that Zipporah took a sharp stone and cut herself, and cast the stone at the feet of Moses, saying: Thou art now a bridegroom of blood by circumcision. 
And Zipporah said further unto her husband: Thou art the lifeblood of me, and our bond is sealed, my husband, by my father, who is Reuel; and thou and I are one; 
Therefore, whatsoever duty Ha’Elohim hath given thee, YHVH hath given me also; for am I not a High Priestess unto YHVH? 
¶ And Moses was ashamed, and hid his face from YHVH, and said: I have sinned before YHVH; 
And from that time forward, Moses did forgo his pity, and remembered his duty to YHVH. 
¶ And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH did bless them; and YHVH spared Moses and let him go because Zipporah, his wife, had honored her call and would circumcise the heart of Israel. 
And the Voice came unto Moses and Zipporah, saying: Take ye that stone, and bless it with thy chereb, and keep it in remembrance of thy covenant between yourselves and me: 
For the blood of the High Priestess of El Elyon be upon it, and the humility of the High Priest of YHVH be upon it; 
And thy blood I did not require of thee, yet it was freely given of thee, my servant Zipporah; thereby this stone shall be kept as a remembrance of the covenant both ye have made unto YHVH this day. 
And Moses and Zipporah did bless the stone, and when they lifted up their hands from it, they saw that it had grown red in color, and had become like that of a ruby. 
And the angel of YHVH spoke unto them, saying: This is now thy segula, guard it well, for it shall be unto you as a protection. 
¶ And it came to pass that they did circumcise their son that day, after the manner of Israel, and the heart of Moses too was circumcised; 
And Zipporah did keep her covenant and raised their children unto YHVH, and was a support unto Moses, her husband, in all things.

Chapter 6

The Mountain of Strength

And it came to pass that not many days before Moses was in the presence of the angel of YHVH, in a flame of fire within the very center of that bush, that the angel of YHVH did come unto Aaron, the brother of Moses; 
And the angel of YHVH did say unto Aaron: Go ye into the wilderness to meet thy brother, Moses; 
For unto thee is given a call, even to be the mouthpiece of thy brother; and he shall be as elohim unto thee, and thou shalt be an ensign for him; and this ye shall do, for it is thy duty before Ha’Elohim. 
Now Aaron had take him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to wife; and she did bare him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 
And it came to pass that after Aaron did hear the words of the angel of YHVH that he got himself up and left his family with much haste, and went whichever way the Voice did command him. 
And this is the manner by which all men and women are called to serve YHVH; 
Not by the desires their hearts, but by the Voice of El Elyon; and this that the will of YHVH should be made known unto mankind. 
And it came to pass that Aaron went and met Moses and Zipporah in the mount of Ha’Elohom, in the mount where the angel of YHVH had appeared unto him; 
And there Moses wept to see his brother, Aaron kissed Moses, his brother. 
And Moses told Aaron and Zipporah all the words of YHVH who had sent him, and he showed unto them all the signs which he had been commanded, and behold, they believed! 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses and Zipporah then went away from Aaron, even as the Voice commanded them, and Aaron was left unto himself. 
And it came to pass that when Moses and Zipporah did reach the bush that burned from the very center, yet did not catch fire, there they saw the angel of YHVH; 
And the angel of YHVH spoke unto them, saying: I have come for thee, and Elohim hath given me charge to bring thee to the throne. 
But Moses spoke, saying: We are but flesh and blood, and cannot look upon the countenance! 
And the angel of YHVH placed his hands over the faces of Moses and Zipporah, yet did not touch them, and their flesh became as fire, and their eyes were opened; 
And there before them they saw ten thousand upon ten thousand angels, some singing praises unto YHVH, some with swords in their arms, and others with scrolls. 
And YHVH spoke unto them, saying: Moses, Zipporah; thou has found favor in the site of Elohim; therefore, fear not, and be be not afraid. 
And Moses was calm. 
And they were each given six wings with which to cover their faces, that they gaze not upon the Shekinah, and to do the service of YHVH. 
And there before the throne of Yah and of YHVH Moses and Zipporah did learn all ten mysteries and were given the cherebm. 
Moses spoke to Ha’Elohim, saying: I cannot bear to leave thy Presence! 
And YHVH replied: Bring my people here that I might give them my Torah. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses and Zipporah came down from that mountain, and they did take their two sons, and went with Aaron, back into the land of Egypt. 
And, in the land of Egypt, there they spoke unto Miriam, the sister of Moses, 
And to her did Moses give all the words of YHVH who had sent him and did show unto her all the signs which he had been commanded, and lo! Miriam did believe on the words of her brother. 
¶ And And it came to pass that Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the men of the Elders of Israel and the High Priests; 
And now Aaron spoke all the words which YHVH had spoken unto Moses and did give all the signs in the sight of the High Priests, and the Elders among them, the fathers, and the sons; yea, all the men of Israel. 
And it came to pass that after seeing the water turned to blood, that even the most unbelieving did believe the words of Aaron. 
And it came to pass that Zipporah and Miriam did go unto women, the High Priestesses, the Elders among them, the mothers, and the daughters; yeah, even all the daughters of Israel. 
And Miriam did speak all the words which YHVH had spoken unto Moses, for Zipporah was as a stranger among them; and Miriam did tell the signs that they did see unto the women. 
And the people believed, both the men and the women; and when YHVH saw, He blessed the daughters of Israel, for they believed without requiring a sign. 
And when Israel heard that YHVH had visited His children, and did looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped as one.

Chapter 7

The Burden of Israel

And it came to pass that not many days after this, Moses and Aaron went and spoke unto Pharaoh, saying: 
Thus saith YHVH, the Elohim of Israel: Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness. 
And Pharaoh replied unto them: Who is YHVH, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not YHVH, neither will I let Israel go. 
And Aaron said: The Elohim of the Hebrews hath met with us; let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert and sacrifice unto YHVH, our Elohim, lest He fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword. 
And the king of Egypt said unto them: Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, lead the people from their works? Get you unto your burdens. 
And Pharaoh said: Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens. 
¶ And it came to pass in that day the same did Pharaoh command the taskmasters of the people and their officers, saying: 
Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore; let them go and gather straw for themselves. 
And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish aught thereof, for they be idle; therefore, they cry, saying: Let us go and sacrifice to our Elohim. 
Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labor therein; and let them not regard these deceptions. 
¶ And it came to pass that the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying: Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw. 
Go ye, get your straw where ye can find it; yet not aught of your work shall be diminished. 
So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw. 
And the taskmasters hasted them, saying: Fulfill your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw. 
And the officers of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten and demanded: Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick, both yesterday and today, as heretofore? 
Then the officers of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying: Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants? 
There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us: Make brick; and behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own people. 
But Pharaoh answered them, saying: Ye are idle, ye are idle; therefore, ye say: Let us go and do sacrifice to YHVH. 
Go, therefore, now and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks. 
And the officers of Israel did see that they were in evil case after it was said: Ye shall not diminish aught from your bricks of your daily task. 
And these very officers met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh; 
And they said unto them: YHVH look upon you and judge for ye have made our savor to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses returned unto YHVH and said: Lord, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? Is this why thou hast sent me? 
For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all. 
Then YHVH said unto Moses: Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh; for with a strong hand shall he let Israel go, and with a strong hand shall he drive Israel out of his land. 
And Elohim spoke unto Moses and said unto him: I am YHVH; and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob. 
I am YHVH, Elohim Shaddai, the Lord YEHOVAH; and was not my name known unto them? 
Yea, and I have also established my covenant with them, which I made with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. 
And I have also heard the groaning of my children, Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant. 
Wherefore, say unto my children, Israel: I am YHVH; and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm and with great judgments; 
And I will take you unto myself for a people, and I will be your Elohim; and ye shall know that I am YHVH, your Elohim, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 
And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for a heritage; I, YHVH, will do it; even so must it be.

Chapter 8

The Plague of Blood

And it came to pass that Moses spake so unto Israel; but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit and for cruel bondage. 
And YHVH spake unto Moses, saying: I have made thee as one of the elohim over Pharaoh, and Aaron as thy prophet: 
Go in, therefore; speak unto Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he let my children, Israel, go out of his land. 
And Moses spake before YHVH, saying: Behold, thy children, Israel, have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who is of uncircumcised lips? 
And YHVH spake unto Moses and unto Aaron and gave them a charge unto Israel and unto Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to bring Israel out of the land of Egypt. 
¶ Now, so it was that on the day the angel of YHVH spake unto Moses, that YHVH did command Moses that he should speak unto Pharaoh, king of Egypt, saying: I, YHVH, will do unto Pharaoh, king of Egypt, all that I say unto thee. 
And Moses said before YHVH: Behold, I am of stammering lips and slow of speech; how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me? 
And YHVH said unto Moses: See, I have made thee a prophet and a seer before Pharaoh; and Aaron, thy brother, shall be thy spokesman. 
Thou shalt speak unto thy brother all that I command thee; and Aaron, thy brother, shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send my children, Israel, out of his land. 
And Pharaoh will harden his heart, as I said unto thee; and thou shalt use thy chereb that I have given thee and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt. 
But Pharaoh will not hearken unto you; therefore, I will lay my hand upon Egypt and bring forth mine armies, my people, my children, Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. 
And the Egyptians shall know that I am YHVH when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt and bring out my children from among them. 
¶ And so it was that on this day that Moses and Aaron did as YHVH commanded them; so did they. 
And YHVH spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying: When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying: Show a miracle that I may know you; 
Then thou shalt say unto Aaron: Take thy rod and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent. 
And it came to pass that Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so even as YHVH had commanded; 
And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent. 
And it came to pass that Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments, and they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents; 
But behold! The rod of Aaron came up its way, slithering and swallowed up their rods. 
And Pharaoh hardened his heart, that he hearkened not unto them, even as YHVH had said. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH said unto Moses: the heart of Pharaoh is hardened; he refuseth to let my people go; 
Therefore, get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the brink of the river until he comes; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand. 
And thou shalt say unto him: YHVH, Elohim of the Hebrews, hath sent me unto thee, saying: Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness; and behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear. 
Thus saith YHVH: In this thou shalt know that I am YHVH; behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the Nile, and they shall be turned to blood; 
And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink of the water of the Nile. 
And YHVH spake unto Moses: Say unto Aaron: Take thy rod and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt and place my curse upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water; 
That they may become blood, and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone. 
¶ And it came to pass that on the morrow Moses and Aaron did so, even as YHVH commanded; 
And Aaron lifted up the rod and smote the waters that were in the river in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood. 
And the fish that was in the river died, and the river stank; and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. 
And the magicians of Egypt got them new water, which they did dig up from the ground, and they even did the same with their enchantments, but they could not make their water clean again. 
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them, as YHVH had said. 
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house; neither did he set his heart to this also. 
And all people of the Egypt dug round about the river for water to drink, for they could not drink of the water of the river, but the Hebrews did have fresh water in their vessels.

Chapter 9

The Plague of Frogs

And it came to pass that seven days were fulfilled after that YHVH had smitten the river that YHVH rested and the Nile was returned. 
And YHVH spake unto Moses on that day, saying: Go unto Pharaoh and say unto him: Thus saith YHVH: Let my people go, that they may serve me; 
And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs; 
And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading troughs; 
And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants, but unto the Hebrews these shall not be. 
And YHVH spake unto Moses: Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the Nile and place my curse over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt. 
¶ And it came to pass that on that same day, the seventh day from the first plague, that Moses and Aaron did go before Pharaoh and did say all the things that YHVH did command them; 
But seeing that the blood was gone from the waters, Pharaoh refused them. 
And when Pharaoh refused them, Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, even as YHVH had commanded him through His servant, Moses; 
And it came to pass that the frogs did came up, they and covered the land of Egypt, even as Aaron commanded. 
And it came to pass that, not wanted to be undone, the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt, that the Egyptians were overwhelmed. 
¶ And it came to pass that Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said: Entreat YHVH, that he may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto YHVH. 
And Moses said unto Pharaoh: It shall be even as thou say, and thy glory be over me. 
When shall I entreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only? 
And Pharaoh answered him, saying: Tomorrow. 
And Moses said: Be it even according to thy word, that thou mayest know that there is none like unto YHVH, our Elohim; 
And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses cried unto YHVH because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh. 
And YHVH did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died—yea, out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields. 
And the people gathered them together upon heaps; and the land stank. 
But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite against him for the smell there of, he hardened his heart and hearkened not unto them, as YHVH had said.

Chapter 10

The Plague of Lice

And it came to pass that when Pharaoh did refuse Israel, the Moses and Aaron went unto Pharaoh, but he would not grant them audience; 
Therefore, Moses went again unto YHVH, pleading. 
And YHVH said unto Moses: Say unto Aaron: Stretch out thy rod and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt. 
And Moses spake unto his brother, Aaron, and he did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod and smote the dust of the earth; and it became lice upon the people and upon beast; 
And all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt. 
¶ And it came to pass that Pharaoh did learn of Aaron’s doing, and did call all his wisemen, and his sorcerers, and his magicians; 
And the magicians did make an attempt to do so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not, nor could they remove the lice; 
And so there were lice upon the people and upon the beasts, save it were the Hebrews that did dwell in the land of Egypt. 
Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh: This is the finger of Ha'Elohim; and the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them, even as YHVH had said.

Chapter 11

The Plague of the Swarm

And it came to pass that YHVH said unto Moses: Rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh; 
Lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him: Thus saith YHVH: Let my people go, that they may serve me; 
Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses; 
And the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms, and also the ground whereon they are. 
And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms shall be there—to this end thou mayest know that I am YHVH in the midst of the earth. 
And I will put a division between my people and thy people; tomorrow shall this sign be. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH did so; and there came a grievous swarm into the house of Pharaoh, and into the houses of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt; the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms. 
And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron and said: Go ye; sacrifice to your God in the land. 
And Moses said: It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to YHVH, our Elohim. 
Lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us? 
We will go three days' journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to YHVH, our Elohim, even as He shall command us. 
And Pharaoh said: I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to YHVH, your Elohim, in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away; entreat for me. 
And Moses said: Behold, I go out from thee; and I will entreat YHVH that the swarms may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people tomorrow; 
But let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to YHVH. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses went out from Pharaoh and entreated YHVH. 
And YHVH did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one. 
And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also; neither would he let the people go.

Chapter 12

The Plague of Death

And it came to pass that YHVH said unto Moses: Go in unto Pharaoh and tell him, Thus saith YHVH, Elohim of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me! 
For if thou refuse to let them go and wilt hold them still, behold, the hand of YHVH is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep; there shall be a very grievous murrain. 
And YHVH shall sever between the herds of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that belongeth to Israel. 
And it came to pass that YHVH appointed a set time, saying: Tomorrow YHVH shall send Mal’akh Ha’Mavet to do this thing in the land. 
¶ And it came to pass that on the morrow that YHVH did send Mal’akh Ha’Mavet to do that thing, and all the cattle of Egypt died; but none of the cattle of Israel did die, yea not even one from among them. 
And Pharaoh sent his servants out among the Hebrews to report; and behold! They saw that there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. 
And Pharaoh was angered, the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.

Chapter 13

The Plague of Boils

And it came to pass that after the death of the cattle of Egypt, and Pharaoh would not let the people of Israel go, that Moses did cry again unto YHVH. 
YHVH said unto Moses and unto Aaron: Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace; 
And Aaron shall speak unto Pharaoh, saying: Thus saith YHVH: Let my people go, that they may serve me; 
And because thou has broken thy word, and thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I send boils upon the people of Egypt, that they shall know that YHVH, Elohim of the Hebrews, is Lord over all. 
And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man and upon beast throughout all the land of Egypt. 
And then, let Moses sprinkle the ashes toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh. 
¶ And it came to pass that they took ashes of the furnace and stood before Pharaoh; 
And Aaron spoke unto Pharaoh, saying: Thus saith YHVH: Let my people go, that they may serve me! 
And YHVH sayeth further: Because thou has broken thy word, and thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I send boils upon the people of Egypt, 
And now thy people shall know that YHVH, Elohim of the Hebrews, is Lord over all. 
And Moses sprinkled the ashes up toward heaven; and it became a boil, breaking forth with blains upon man and upon beast. 
¶ And it came to pass that Pharaoh sent for his sorcerers, and his magicians, and commanded that they show unto the Hebrews the strength of Pharaoh, for Israel knew not the blains except to see that Egypt suffered. 
But the sorcerers, and magicians, these could not cursed Israel, nor could they remove their cursing that YHVH had dealt them through Moses, the prophet of YHVH; 
And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians and upon all the Egyptians. 
And Pharaoh hardened his heart, and he hearkened not unto them, even as YHVH had spoken unto Moses.

Chapter 14

The Plague of Thunderings and Hail

And it came to pass that YHVH said unto Moses: Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him: Thus saith YHVH, Elohim of the Hebrews: Let my people go, that they may serve me! 
For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth. 
For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with a plague; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth. 
And in very deed, for this cause have I raised thee up, for to show in thee my power and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth; 
Therefore, speak unto Pharaoh the thing which I have command thee, who as yet exalteth himself that he will not let them go. 
And behold, tomorrow about this time, I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof, even until now. 
Send, therefore, now and gather thy herds and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man, woman, and beast which shall be found in the field and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them; and they shall die. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses spoke unto Pharaoh, even all that he was told to say, and the Word of YHVH was heard through Aaron, the mouthpiece of Moses; 
And that they that feared the Word of YHVH among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses, and they that regarded not the Word of YHVH left his servants and his cattle in the field. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH said unto Moses: Stretch forth thine hand toward heavens, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and woman, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field throughout the land of Egypt. 
And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven; and YHVH sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and YHVH rained hail upon the land of Egypt. 
And so there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. 
And the hail smote Egypt throughout all the land; all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field and brake every tree of the field. 
And it came to pass that only in the land of Goshen, where Israel did dwell, was there no hail. 
¶ And it came to pass that Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron and said unto them: I have sinned this time; YHVH is righteous, and I and my people are wicked. 
Entreat your Elohim, even YHVH, that it is enough, that there will be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer. 
And Moses said unto him: As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto YHVH; and the thunder shall cease; neither shall there be anymore hail, that thou mayest know how that the belongeth to YHVH. 
But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear YHVH Elohim. 
And when Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh and spread abroad his hands unto YHVH; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth. 
And when Pharaoh saw that the rain, and the hail, and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more and hardened his heart, he and his servants. 
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened; neither would he let Israel go, even as YHVH had spoken by His mouthpiece, Moses.

Chapter 15

The Plague of Locusts

And it came to pass that YHVH said unto Moses: Go in unto Pharaoh; for he hath hardened his heart and the hearts of his servants; therefore, I will show these my signs before him— 
And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt and my signs which I have done among them, that ye may know how that I am YHVH. 
And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh and said unto him: Thus saith YHVH, Elohim of the Hebrews: How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? 
Let my people go, that they may serve me! 
Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast; 
And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth; and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field; 
And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, which neither thy fathers nor thy fathers' fathers have seen since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. 
And Moses turned himself and went out from Pharaoh. 
¶ Now the flax and the barley had been smitten by the mighty storms of YHVH; for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled; 
Yet the wheat and the rye were not smitten; for they were not grown up. 
And the servants said unto Pharaoh: How long shall this man be a snare unto us? Let the men go, that they may serve YHVH, their Elohim; knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed? 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh. 
And Pharaoh said unto them: Go; serve YHVH, your Elohim; but who are they that shall go? 
And Moses said: We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto YHVH. 
And Pharaoh said unto them: Let YHVH be so with you as I will let you go, and your little ones; look to it, for evil is before you. 
Not so; go now, ye that are men, and serve YHVH; for that ye did desire. 
And Moses and Aaron were driven out from the presence of Pharaoh. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH said unto Moses: Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left. 
And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt; and YHVH brought an east wind upon the land all that day and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. 
And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt and rested in all the coasts of Egypt; very grievous were they. 
Before them there were no such locusts as they; neither after them shall be such, for they covered the face of the whole earth so that the land was darkened; 
And they did eat every herb of the land and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left; and there remained not any green thing in the trees or in the herbs of the field through all the land of Egypt. 
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and he said: I have sinned against YHVH, your Elohim, and against you; 
Now, therefore, forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and entreat YHVH, your Elohim, that He may take away from me this death only. 
And Moses went out from Pharaoh and entreated YHVH. 
And YHVH turned a mighty strong West wind, which took away the locusts and cast them into the Red Sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt. 
But Pharaoh hardened his heart so that he would not let Israel go.

Chapter 16

The Plague of Darkness

And it came to pass that Moses cried out again unto YHVH, asking for pity that Israel might be made free. 
And YHVH said unto Moses: Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. 
And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days. 
They saw not one another; neither rose any from his place for three days; but all of Israel had light in their dwellings. 
¶ And it came to pass that Pharaoh called unto Moses and said: Go ye; serve YHVH; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed; let your little ones also go with you. 
And Moses said: Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto YHVH, our Elohim. 
Our herds also shall go with us; there shall not a hoof be left behind, for thereof must we take to serve YHVH, our Elohim; and we know not with what we must serve YHVH until we come thither. 
But Pharaoh hardened his heart, and he would not let them go. 
And Pharaoh said unto him: Get thee from me; take heed to thyself; see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die. 
And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well; I will see thy face again no more.

Chapter 17

The Plague of the First Born

And it came to pass that YHVH came unto Moses, saying: Thou, Moses, and thy brother Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh; 
And when ye went out from Pharaoh he was in great anger and would not repent, and Pharaoh hardened his heart so that he would not let my children, Israel, go out of his land. 
Pharaoh will not hearken unto you; therefore, my wonders shall be multiplied in the land of Egypt: 
Yea, and I will bring one plague more upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt; and behold, afterwards he will let you go hence; when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether; 
Therefore, speak now in the ears of the people: Thus saith YHVH: About midnight will I send Mal’akh Ha’Mavet out into the midst of Egypt; and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, 
Yea, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill, and all the firstborn of beasts; they shall die. 
And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more. 
But against any of my children, Israel, shall not a dog wag its tongue against man, woman, or beast; and this that ye may know how that YHVH doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel. 
And all these, the servants of Pharaoh, shall come down unto me and bow themselves down unto me, saying: Get thee out and all the people that follow thee. 
And then, let every man borrow of his neighbor and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver and jewels of gold, and I will grant Israel favor in the sight of the Egyptians. 
And after that I will lead my children out of Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that all that loved YHVH in Israel did hearken unto the Passover, even has Moses had shown them.

Chapter 18

The Passover

And it came to pass that at midnight YHVH send Mal’akh Ha’Mavet and he smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne, unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle. 
And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead. 
And Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron by night and said: Rise up and get you forth from among my people, both ye and all of Israel; and go; serve YHVH as ye have said; 
Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also. 
And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said: We have found our firstborn all dead; therefore, get ye out of the land, lest we die also. 
And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. 
And all of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they did take unto themselves of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment; 
And YHVH did give the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians so that they did give unto them such things as they required; 
And thus did Israel plunder the Egyptians, even as YHVH has spoken. 
Moreover, the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants and in the sight of the people. 
And the Israelites baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt (for it was not leavened) because they were thrust out of Egypt and could not tarry; neither had they prepared for themselves any victuals. 
And it came to pass the selfsame day that YHVH did bring the His children, Israel, out of the land of Egypt: 
And Moses did take the bones of Joseph with him; for Joseph had straightly sworn the children of Jacob, saying: Elohim will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you. 
¶ And it came to pass that they took their journey from Egypt into the wilderness, the land of Mormon; 
And YHVH went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light—to go by day and night. 
And YHVH took not away the pillar of the cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night from before the people.

Chapter 19

The Remembrance

And it came to pass that all of Israel journeyed out from Egypt, and they were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children. 
And a mixed multitude went up also with them, and flocks, and possessions, even their numerous herds. 
Now the sojourning of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. 
And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of YHVH went out from the land of Egypt. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses and Zipporah said unto the people: Remember this day in which ye came out from Egypt, from out of the house of bondage; 
For by strength of the hand YHVH were you brought out from that place; there shall no leavened bread be eaten; 
And it shall be that when YHVH shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which He sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month. 
Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to YHVH. 
Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee; neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters. 
And thou shalt show thy son and thy daughters in that day, saying: This is done because of that which YHVH did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt. 
And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the Torah of YHVH may be in thy mouth; for with a strong hand hath YHVH brought thee out of Egypt. 
Thou shalt, therefore, keep this ordinance in his season from year to year for all time. 
¶ And it shall come to pass that when YHVH shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as He sware unto thee and thy fathers amd thy mothers, and shall give it thee, 
That thou shalt set apart unto YHVH every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast belong to YHVH. 
And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break its neck; and all the firstborn of mankind among thy children shalt thou redeem; 
For thus sayeth YHVH: Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among Israel, both of mankind and of beast; it is mine. 
And it shall be when thy son or thy daughter should ask thee in time to come, saying: What is this? 
That thou shalt say unto them: By strength of hand YHVH brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage. 
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that YHVH slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of mankind and the firstborn of beast; 
Therefore, I sacrifice to YHVH all the firstborn of my children, that I redeem. 
And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes; for by strength of hand YHVH brought us forth out of Egypt. 
¶ And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that Ha’Elohim led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; 
For Ha’Elohim said: Lest peradventure the people retreat when they see war and they return to Egypt; 
But Elohim led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Sea; and Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.

Chapter 20

Dividing the Waters from the Waters

And it came to pass that YHVH spake unto Moses and Zipporah, saying: Speak unto my children, Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baal-zephon; ye shall encamp by the sea before it; 
For Pharaoh will say of Israel: They are entangled in the land; the wilderness hath shut them in. 
And Pharaoh will harden his heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be fierce upon Pharaoh and upon all his host, that the Egyptians may know that I am YHVH. 
And Israel did even as they were told. 
¶ And it came to pass that the king of Egypt was told that the people fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people; 
And the Egyptians said: Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us? 
And Pharaoh hardened his heart, and he made ready his chariot and took his army with him; 
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them. 
And Pharaoh pursued after Israel; and Israel went out with a high hand. 
But the Egyptians pursued after them—all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army—and overtook them encamping by the sea. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Pharaoh drew nigh, Israel lifted up their eyes; and behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid; and Israel cried out unto YHVH. 
And they said unto Moses and Zipporah: Is it because there were no graves in Egypt that thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? Wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? 
Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying: Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness. 
And Zipporah said unto the people, Fear ye not! Stand still and see the salvation of YHVH, which he will show to you today; 
The Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more forever, for YHVH shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH said unto Moses and Zipporah: Wherefore criest thou unto me? Speak unto my children, Israel, that they go forward; 
But lift thou, Moses, up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it; and Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. 
And I say unto thee: The hearts of the Egyptians shall be hardened, and they shall follow them; and I will weigh heavily upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his army, and upon his horsemen. 
And the Egyptians shall know that I am YHVH when I have laid my burdens upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. 
¶ And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face and stood behind them; 
And the pillar of the cloud came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to the Egyptians: 
But the pillar of the cloud gave unto the Israelites light by night so that the one came not near the other all the night. 
And Moses stretched out the rod in his hand over the sea; and YHVH caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night and made the sea dry land; and the waters were divided. 
And Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand and on their left. 
And the Egyptians pursued and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 
¶ And it came to pass that in the morning, YHVH looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud and was against the host of the Egyptians, and took off their chariot wheels, 
And behold, as the wheels of their chariots spun out of control the Egyptians said: Let us flee from the face of Israel; for YHVH fighteth for them against us. 
And YHVH said unto Moses: Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, and upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea did return to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and YHVH overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 
And the waters returned and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them. 
But Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand and on their left. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH saved Israel out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the seashore. 
And Israel saw that great work which YHVH did upon the Egyptians; and the people feared YHVH and believed YHVH and His servants, Moses and Zipporah.

Chapter 21

The Song of Miriam

Then sang Miriam, the sister of Moses, and the daughters of Israel, this song unto YHVH and spake, saying: 
¶ I will sing unto YHVH for He hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. 
YHVH is my strength and my song, and is become my salvation; He is my God, and I will prepare Him a habitation, Elohim of my father and my mothers, and I will exalt Him. 
YHVH is a Man of war; YHVH is His name. 
The chariots and the host of Pharaoh hath He cast into the sea; his chosen captains also are drowned in the Sea. 
The depths have covered them; they sank into the bottom as a stone. 
Thy right hand, O YHVH, is become glorious in power; thy right hand, O YHVH, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. 
And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee; thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble. 
And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as a heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea. 
The enemy said: I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them. 
Thou didst blow with thy wind; the sea covered them; they sank as lead in the mighty waters. 
Who is like unto thee, O YHVH, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? 
Thou stretchedst out thy right hand; the earth swallowed them. 
Thou, in thy mercy, hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed; thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation. 
The people shall hear and be afraid; sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina. 
Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling, shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away, and fear and dread shall fall upon them. 
Yea, the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone until Your people pass by, O YHVH, till the people which thou hast purchased pass by. 
Thou shalt bring them in and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O YHVH, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in—in the sanctuary, O YHVH which thy hands have established. 
YHVH shall reign forever and ever. 
For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and YHVH brought again the waters of the sea upon them; 
But Thy children, Israel, went on dry land in the midst of the sea. 
¶ And the prophetess of YHVH, Miriam, sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. 
And Zipporah led the daughters of Israel in song, and thy sang: Sing ye to YHVH, for He hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

Chapter 22

Manna (What is this?)

And it came to pass that in the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt, Moses and Ziphorah brought Israel from the Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; 
And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water, and pitched their tents in Marah; 
But behold, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore, the name of it was called Marah. 
And it came to pass that the people murmured against Moses, saying: What shall we drink? 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses and Zipporah cried unto YHVH; and YHVH instructed them to take a branch that had fallen from a tree; 
And when Zipporah cast the rod into the waters, the waters were made sweet, and there Moses and Zipporah gave them a statute and an ordinance; 
And the women were led by Zipporah and Miriam in pouring out libations unto YHVH of the sweet water onto the earth, for such was the abundance of water. 
¶ And there YHVH proved Israel, and the Voice said: If thou wilt diligently hearken to the Voice of YHVH, thy Elohim, and wilt do that which is right in My sight, and wilt give ear to My mitzvah, and keep all My statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee which I have brought upon the Egyptians; 
For I am YHVH; I am Ha’Elohim that healeth thee. 
And all the congregation of Israel did hear the Voice, and they were afraid and desired to flee that place. 
¶ And it came to pass that Israel went on, and they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees; and they encamped there by the waters; 
And there in Elim, Israel expressed their marvel, for they did see the Angel of YHVH going before them, and with them as fire in the night; 
And they did hear the Voice of YHVH as a thunder from within their hearts; 
And they had seen the plagues of the Egyptians, and they feared YHVH, even their Elohim that had delivered them from evil. 
¶ And it came to pass that Israel took their journey from Elim; and on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt, all the congregation of Israel came unto a place of rest in the wilderness. 
And there the whole congregation of Israel murmured against Moses and Zipporah, and Aaron and Miriam; 
And Israel said unto Moses and Aaron: Would we had died by the hand of YHVH in the land of Egypt when we sat by the fleshpots and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger. 
Then said YHVH unto Moses and Zipporah: Behold! I will rain food from heaven for you; 
And the people shall go out and gather enough for everyone, according to the number of your persons; take ye everyone for them which are in your tents; 
And this that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my Torah or no. 
And it shall come to pass that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily. 
¶ And Moses and Aaron said unto all of Israel: This evening, then ye shall know that YHVH hath brought you out from the land of Egypt; 
And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of YHVH, for He heareth your murmurings against Him; and who are we, that ye murmur against us? 
And Moses said: This shall be when YHVH shall give you in the evening flesh to eat and in the morning bread to the full, for that YHVH heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against Him. 
And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against YHVH. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses spake unto Aaron: Say unto all of the congregation of Israel: Come near before YHVH; for He hath heard your murmurings. 
And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of Israel, that they did look out toward the wilderness; and behold, the glory of YHVH appeared in the cloud. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH spake unto Moses and Zipporah, saying: I have heard the murmurings of Israel, my children; now speak unto them, saying: 
At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am YHVH, your Elohim. 
And that evening, the quails came up and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay round about the host. 
And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoarfrost on the ground. 
And when Israel saw it, they said one to another: What is it? for they wist not what it was. 
And Moses said unto them: This is the bread which YHVH hath given you to eat. 
This is the thing which YHVH hath commanded: Gather of it everyone according to their eating. 
And Israel called the name thereof manna; and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.

Chapter 23

The Sabbath of the Seventh Day

And it came to pass that Israel went about to gather manna, some more, some less. 
And when they did take enough, that they gathered much and had nothing over; and they that gathered little had no lack; they gathered everyone according to their eating. 
And Moses said: Let no one leave of it till the morning. 
Notwithstanding, they hearkened not unto Moses, but some of them left of it until the morning; and it bred maggots and stank; and Moses was wroth with them. 
And they gathered it every morning, everyone according to their eating; and when the sun waxed hot, it melted. 
¶ And it came to pass that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much for one person; and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. 
And Moses said unto them: This is that which YHVH hath said: Tomorrow is the rest of the holy Sabbath of the Seventh Day unto YHVH; 
Bake that which ye will bake today, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning. 
And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade; and it did not stink; neither was there any maggots therein. 
And Moses said: Eat that today; for today is a Sabbath unto YHVH; today ye shall not find it in the field. 
Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, in it there shall be none. 
And it came to pass that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none. 
¶ And YHVH said unto Moses and Zipporah: How long will my children refuse to keep my mitzvah and my Torah? 
Look, for that YHVH hath given you the sabbath; therefore, He giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye everyone in their place; let no one go out of their place on the seventh day. 
And it came to pass that Zipporah and Miriam went out and gathered the daughters of Israel, and they did grant them the mitzvah of the Sabbath of YHVH; and these daughters took this Torah back and taught their homes: 
And Israel rested on the seventh day. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses said unto Israel: This is the mitzvah which YHVH hath given: Fill a vessel of the bread of YHVH to be kept for your generations, 
That they may see the bread wherewith YHVH hath fed you in the wilderness when He brought you forth from the land of Egypt. 
And Moses said unto Aaron: Take a pot, and fill it full of manna therein, and lay it up before YHVH, to be kept for your generations. 
And it came to pass that as YHVH commanded Moses, so did Aaron, and he laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept. 
And it came to pass that Israel did eat manna until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.

Chapter 24

Water from the Rock

And it came to pass that in the third month after their departing out of the land of Egypt, all the congregation of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin after their journeys, according to the commandment of YHVH, and pitched in Rephidim; and there was no water for the people to drink. 
Wherefore, the people did chide with Moses and Zipporah, and said: Give us water that we may drink. 
And it came to pass that Moses said unto them: Why chide ye with me? Wherefore do ye tempt YHVH? 
And Israel thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses and Zipporah, saying: Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt—to kill us, and our children, and our cattle with thirst—thou and thy wife, the foreigner? 
And Moses cried unto YHVH, saying: What shall I do unto this people? They be almost ready to stone us! 
And YHVH said unto Moses: Go on before the people and take with thee of the Elders of Israel; and thy rod, take in thine hand and go. 
Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses did even as he was told in the sight of the Elders of Israel. 
And Moses called the name of the place Massah and Meribah because of the chiding of Israel and because they tempted YHVH, saying: Is YHVH among us or not? 
But Moses did not give the glory to YHVH, and the Elders of Israel did bless Moses, and YHVH was not pleased. 
But Zipporah, the wife of Moses, did remember YHVH; and she and Miriam did lead the daughters of Israel in offer libations to remember the blessings of YHVH. 
And YHVH was pleased, and blessed the daughters of YHVH for remembering that all good things come from YHVH.

Chapter 25

The Sign of the Covenant

And it came to pass that in the third month, after their departing out of the land of Egypt, that the Amaleks worried that Israel should come and destroy them; 
Therefore, they came forth to do battle with Israel. 
And Moses saw their armies, and he went to YHVH saying: I could lead the men of Egypt into battle and prevail, but Israel hath no armies. 
And YHVH spoke unto Moses, saying: gather strong men from each of the tribes and Joshua, son of Nun shall lead them; 
And thou shall watch them from above, and shall raise up thy hand in my name; 
And behold, when thy hand is raised in the sign of my covenant, as given to thee and Zipporah by my servant Jethro the Reuel, her father, Israel shall prevail; 
But if thy hand should fail thee, the power endowed thee from the covenant shall fail, and Israel should falter. 
And it came to pass that Moses went and said unto Joshua: Choose us out men from all the tribes of Israel, and go out, fight with Amalek; 
Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of Ha’Elohim in mine hand, and Israel shall prevail. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua did as Moses had said to him and fought with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, the brother of Moses, and Hur, the son of Miriam, went up to the top of that hill. 
And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand in the sign, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 
And when the hand of Moses grew heavy they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat thereon; 
And Aaron, and Hur stayed up his hand, the one on the one side and the other on the other side; and his hand was steady until the going down of the sun. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua overthrew Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. 
And YHVH said unto Moses: Write this for a memorial in the book and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua; for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses built an altar and called the name of it YHVH-nissif; 
For Moses said: Because a hand was lifted up towards Yah; and behold, YHVH will have war with Amalek from generation to generation. 
And Miriam and Zipporah led the daughters of Israel in song and dance, and offered libations before YHVH.

Chapter 26

The Division of Labor

And it came to pass in the third month from the time that Israel had gone forth out of the land of Egypt, came they into the wilderness of the Mount of Ha’Elohim. 
And it came to pass that in that month, Jethro the Reuel, the High Priest of El Elyon, Moses' father-in-law, having heard of all that Ha’Elohim had done for Moses and for Israel, His people, and that YHVH had brought Israel out of Egypt, 
Then Jethro, the father of Zipporah, who he did give unto Moses for a wife after he had sent her back to gather Moses from that well, came and visited with his daughter and her two sons. 
¶ And so it was that Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the Mount of Ha’Elohim; 
And Jethro sent a messenger unto Moses, saying: I, thy father-in-law, am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her. 
And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and did bow unto him, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare, and they came into the tent. 
And Moses told his father-in-law all that YHVH had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for the sake of Israel, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how YHVH delivered them. 
And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which YHVH had done to Israel, whom He had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians. 
And Jethro said: Blessed be YHVH, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. 
Now I know that YHVH is greater than all the elohim; for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly He was above them. 
And Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for El Elyon; and Aaron came, and all the men of the Elders of Israel, to eat bread with the father-in-law of Moses before Ha’Elohim. 
¶ And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people; and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening. 
And when the father-in-law of Moses saw all that he did for the people, he said: What is this thing that thou doest to the people? 
Why doth thou sittest thou thyself alone and all the people stand by thee from morning unto evening? 
And Moses said unto his father-in-law: Because the people come unto me to inquire of our Elohim; 
When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the laws and statutes of Ha’Elohim. 
And the father-in-law of Moses said unto him: The thing that thou doest is not good; 
Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou and this people that is with thee; for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone. 
Hearken now unto my voice; I will give thee counsel, and El Elyon shall be with thee, and Ha'Elohim shall be with thee. 
You stand before Ha’Elohim for the people, that thou mayest bring their causes unto Ha’Elohim; 
And thou shalt teach them decrees and laws, and shalt show them the way wherein they must walk and the work that they must do: 
Moreover, thou shalt provide out of all the people able men and women such as reverent men and women of truth, hating dishonest gain; 
Place such over the people to be rulers of thousands and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties and rulers of tens and let them judge the people at all seasons; 
Do this and it shall be that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge; so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee. 
And if thou shalt do this thing, and Elohim command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure; and all this people shall also go to their place in peace. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses did hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said. 
And Moses and Zipporah chose able men and women from out of all of Israel and made them heads over the people, even as rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens: 
And they judged the people at all seasons; the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves. 
And it came to pass that Moses let his father-in-law depart; and he went his way into his own land.

Chapter 27

The People of the Covenant

And it came to pass that Moses and Zipporah went up unto Ha’Elohim; and YHVH called unto them out of the mountain, saying: Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell my children, Israel: 
Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians and how I bare you on the wings of eagles and brought you unto myself; 
Now, therefore, if ye will obey My Voice indeed and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people; for all the earth is mine; 
And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of Priests and Priestesses and a holy nation. 
These are the words which thou shalt speak unto my children, Israel! 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses and Zipporah came, and called for the Elders of the people, both the men and the women, and laid before their faces all these words which YHVH commanded him. 
And all the people answered together as one and said: All that YHVH hath spoken we will do. 
And Moses and Zipporah returned the words of the people unto YHVH. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH said unto Moses: Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee and believe thee forever. 
And Moses and Zipporah told the words of the people unto YHVH. 
¶ And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH said unto Moses and Zipporah: Go unto the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes, 
And be ready against the third day; for the third day will YHVH come down in the sight of all the people upon the Mount. 
And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying: Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the Mount or touch the border of it; whosoever toucheth the Mount shall surely die; 
There shall not a hand touch it, but they shall surely die; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live. 
And when the shofar soundeth long, then shall they come up to the Mount. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses and Zipporah went down from the Mount unto the people and sanctified the people; and they did wash themselves and their clothes. 
And Moses and Zipporah said unto the people: Be ready against the third day; until then, be ye untouched. 
¶ And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders, and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the Mount, and the voice of the shofar was exceeding loud, so that all the people in the camp trembled. 
And Moses and Zipporah brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with Ha’Elohim; and they stood at the depth of the Mount. 
And all about it was the Mount filled with smoke because YHVH descended upon it in fire; and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole Mount quaked greatly. 
And when the voice of the shofar sounded long and waxed louder and louder, and Moses spake; and Ha’Elohim answered him by the Voice. 
And YHVH came down upon the Mount, on the top of the Mount; and the angel of YHVH called Moses and Zipporah up to the top of the Mount; and Moses and Zipporah went up. 
¶ And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH said unto Moses and Zipporah: Go down; charge the people, lest they break through unto YHVH to gaze, and many of them perish. 
And let the Priests and Priestesses also, which come near to YHVH, sanctify themselves, lest YHVH break forth upon them. 
And Zipporah said unto the angel of YHVH: The people of Israel cannot come up to the Mount of Ha’Elohim; for thou charged us, saying: Set bounds about the Mount and sanctify it; therefore thy fear be upon them. 
And the angel of YHVH said unto them: Away, get down; and you shalt come up, both of you and Aaron with you; 
But let not the Priests and the Priestesses, and the people break through to come up unto YHVH, lest He break forth upon them. 
So Moses and Zipporah went down unto the people and spoke unto them.

Chapter 28

The Covenant

And it came to pass that Moses and Zipporah stood before the congregation of Israel, and they spoke unto them, saying: 
YHVH spake unto Israel all these words, saying: I am YHVH, thy Elohim, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

ONE

¶ Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

TWO

¶ Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; 
For I, YHVH, thy Elohim, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, 
And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my mitzvoth.

THREE

¶ Thou shalt not take upon yourselves my name, the name of YHVH, thy Elohim, in vain; for YHVH will not hold them guiltless that taketh my name in vain, mocking the Covenant.

FOUR

¶ Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy: 
Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of YHVH, thy Elohim. 
In it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; 
For in six days YHVH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore, YHVH blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

FIVE

¶ Honor thy Father and thy Mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee.

SIX

¶ Thou shalt not murder.

SEVEN

¶ Thou shalt not commit adultery.

EIGHT

¶ Thou shalt not steal.

NINE

¶ Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

TEN

¶ Thou shalt not covet the house of thy neighbor; thou shalt not covet the spouse of thy neighbor, nor their manservant, nor their maidservant, nor their ox, nor their ass, nor anything that be with thy neighbor.

Chapter 29

The Book of the Testimony

And it came to pass that all the people of Israel saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the shofar, and the mountain smoking; 
And when the people saw it, they removed and stood afar off, and they said unto Moses and Zipporah: Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not Ha’Elohim speak with us, lest we die. 
And Moses said unto the people: Fear not; for Ha’Elohim is come to prove you, and that reverence to YHVH may be before your faces, that ye walk in teshuvah. 
And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where Ha’Elohim was. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH said unto Moses and Zipporah: Thus thou shalt say unto my children, Israel: Ye have seen that I have talked with you from the heavens. 
Ye shall not make unto you elohim of silver; neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold. 
An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen; 
And in all places where I record HaShem I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee. 
And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it: 
Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy shame be not discovered thereon. 
¶ And it came to pass that the Voice spake unto Moses and Zipporah, saying: Come up unto YHVH, Moses and Zipporah; and bring with thee Aaron, Miriam, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the Elders of Israel, thirty-five of the males and thirty-five of the females; and worship ye afar off. 
And Moses and Zipporah, alone shall come near YHVH; but they shall not come nigh; and the people shall not go up with thee. 
And Moses and Zipporah came and told the people all the words of YHVH and all the charge; 
And all the people answered with one voice and said: All the words which YHVH hath said will we do. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses wrote the Word of YHVH, and he and Zipporah, his wife, rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the hill even as they were instructed; 
And they put around the altar twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 
And Moses sent young men of Israel, which offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto YHVH; 
And Zipporah sent young women of Israel to give of the offering that none of the meat was wasted. 
And Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins; and half of the blood he gave unto the young women of Israel, and these poured the libations upon the altar. 
And Moses took the Book of the Testimony and read in the audience of the people; and they said: All that YHVH hath said will we do and be obedient. 
And Moses had them take the meat from the altar and gave it unto the young men and the young women of Israel and they went and gave meat unto all of Israel that all should eat. 
And Moses held up the Book of the Testimony and said unto the people: Behold the blood of the covenant, which YHVH hath made with you concerning all these words. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses and Aaron and Miriam, and Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the Elders of Israel went up; and they saw the Elohim of Israel; 
And there was under the feet of Ha’Elohim, as it were, a paved work of a sapphire stone as clear as the heavens themselves; 
But upon the nobles of Israel, not a hand was laid upon them; thus it was that they saw Ha’Elohim and did eat and drink. 
And it came to pass that YHVH said unto Moses and Zipporah: Come up to me into the Mount and be there; and I will give thee tables of stone, and the Torah, and commandments which I have inscribed, that thou mayest teach them. 
And Moses and Zipporah rose up, and they sent Joshua to speak unto the Elders; 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses and Zipporah went up into the Mount of Ha’Elohim. 
And Joshua said unto the Elders: Thus sayeth Moses: Tarry ye here for us until we come again unto you; 
And behold, Aaron and Miriam and Hur are with you; and if anyone hath any concerns, let them come unto them. 
And it came to pass that Moses and Zipporah went up into the Mount, and a cloud covered the Mount. 
And the glory of YHVH abode upon the Mount of Ha’Elohim, and the cloud covered it six days; and the seventh day YHVH called unto Moses and Zipporah out of the midst of the cloud; 
And the sight of the glory of YHVH was like devouring fire on the top of the Mount in the eyes of Israel. 
And Moses and Zipporah went into the midst of the cloud and got them up into the Mount; and Moses and Zipporah were in the Mount forty days and forty nights.

Chapter 30

The Calf of Gold

And it came to pass that when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the Mount, some of the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron and said unto him: Up, make us elohim, which shall go before us; 
And as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him. 
And Aaron said unto them: Break off the golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters and bring them unto me. 
And the people broke off the golden earrings which were in their ears and brought them unto Aaron. 
And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf; 
And the people said: These be our elohim, which brought us up out of the land of Egypt. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation and said: Tomorrow is a feast. 
And the people rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink and rose up to worship the calf of gold. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH said unto Moses and Zipporah: Go; get yourselves down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves; 
Behold, they have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them; 
They have made them a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said: These be our elohim which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 
And YHVH said unto Moses and Zipporah: I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiffnecked people; 
Now, therefore, let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them and that I may consume them; and I will make of thee a great nation. 
And Moses and Zipporah besought YHVH, their Elohim, and Moses said: O YHVH, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? 
Wherefore should the Egyptians speak and say: For mischief did YHVH bring them out, to slay them in the mountains and to consume them from the face of the earth? 
Turn from thy fierce wrath; thy people will return from this evil; therefore, come thou not out against them. 
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self and saidst unto them: I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it forever. 
And YHVH said unto Moses: If they will return from the evil which they have done, I will spare them and turn away my fierce wrath; 
But behold, thou shalt execute judgment upon all that will not repent of this evil this day; 
Therefore, see thou do this thing that I have commanded thee, or I will execute all that which I had thought to do unto my people. 
And it came to pass that Moses and Zipporah went down from the Mount, and the two sapphire tables of Testimony were in the hands of Moses; the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written. 
And the tables were the work of Elohim, and the writing was the writing of Elohim, graven upon the tables. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses: There is a noise of war in the camp. 
And Zipporah said unto him: It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery; neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome; but the noise of them that sing that I do hear. 
And it came to pass that as soon as they came nigh unto the camp, that they saw the calf and the people dancing in their nakedness; 
And anger of Moses waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands and broke them beneath the Mount. 
And Moses took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the water, and made Israel drink of it. 
And Moses said unto Aaron: What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them? 
And Aaron said: Let not the anger of my lord wax hot; thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief. 
For they said unto me: Make us elohim, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him. 
And I said unto them: Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. 
So they gave it me; then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Moses saw that the people were naked, then Moses stood in the gate of the camp and said: Who is on the side of YHVH? Let him come unto me. 
And it came to pass that all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. 
And Moses said unto them: Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor. 
And Zipporah did say unto her husband: Why for didst thou beg for the lives of Israel, and this to come here and slay them thyself? 
And Moses repented and called off the men, but the children of Levi had already done according to the word of Moses; and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men. 
¶ And it came to pass that after this, Moses did say: Consecrate yourselves today to YHVH, even everyone upon their child and upon their brother and their sister, that YHVH may bestow upon you a blessing this day. 
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people: Ye have sinned a great sin; and now we will go up unto YHVH; peradventure we shall make an atonement for your sin. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses and Zipporah returned unto YHVH and Moses spoke unto YHVH, saying: O, this people have sinned a great sin and have made them idols of gold; 
Yet now, if thou wilt, forgive their sin; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. 
And YHVH said unto Moses: Whosoever hath sinned against me, they will I blot out of my book; 
Therefore, now go, thou and thy wife, Zipporah; lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee; 
Behold, mine angel shall go before thee; nevertheless, in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them.

Chapter 31

The Face of YHVH

And it came to pass that YHVH said unto Moses and Zipporah: Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto a land flowing with milk and honey, the land which I swore unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it; 
And I will send my angel before thee, and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; 
Unto a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in the midst of thee, for thou art a stiff-necked people, lest I consume thee in the way. 
And ye shall say unto my children, Israel: Ye are a stiff-necked people; I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment and consume thee; therefore, now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee. 
¶ And it came to pass that when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned; and no one did put on them their ornaments; and so it was that Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the Mount. 
And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the Congregation. 
And it came to pass that everyone which sought YHVH went out unto the Tabernacle of the Congregation, which was without the camp. 
And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the Tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood everyone at their tent door, and looked after Moses until he was gone into the Tabernacle. 
And it came to pass that as Moses entered the Tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended and stood at the door of the Tabernacle; and there YHVH talked with Moses. 
And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the Tabernacle door; and all the people rose up and worshiped, everyone in their tent door. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH spoke unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. 
And Moses turned again into the camp; but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the Tabernacle. 
And Moses said unto YHVH: See, thou sayest unto me, and unto Zipporah my wife: Bring up this people; and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me; 
Yet thou hast said: I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight; 
Now, therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, show me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight; and consider that this nation is thy people. 
And the Voice said: My Presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. 
And Moses said: If thy Presence go not with me, carry us not up hence; 
For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? Is it not in that thou goest with us? 
So shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth? 
And YHVH said unto Moses: I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken; for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. 
And Moses said: I beseech thee, show me thy Glory. 
And the Voice said: I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of YHVH before thee, and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. 
Thou canst not see my face at this time, lest mine anger be kindled against thee also and I destroy thee and thy people: 
For there shall no one among them see me at this time and live, for they are exceedingly sinful, 
And no sinful man or woman hath at any time, neither shall there be any sinful man or woman at any time, that shall see my Face and live. 
¶ And YHVH said: Behold, thou shalt stand upon a rock, and I will prepare a place by me for thee. 
And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of a rock and cover thee with my hand while I pass by. 
And I will take away mine hand; and thou shalt see my back parts, but my face shall not be seen, as at other times; for I am angry with my people, Israel.

Chapter 32

The Second Stone Tablets

And it came to pass that YHVH said unto Moses: Hew thee two other tables of sapphire like unto the first, and I will write upon them also the words of the Torah, according as they were written at the first on the tables which thou brakest: 
But they shall not receive according to the first, for I will take away my power from out of their midst; 
Therefore, my holy order and the ordinances thereof shall not go before them; for my Presence shall not go up in their midst, lest I destroy them. 
And this is the plague I shall send upon the people because they worshiped the calf which Aaron made: 
I will give unto them the Torah as at the first, but they shall not understand it, but shall read it to be after the Law of Carnal Commandments, 
And I have sworn in my wrath that they shall not enter into my Presence, into my rest, in the days of their pilgrimage; 
But should they turn away from Egypt and walk in teshuvah to me, then shall they enter Eden, and there find my rest, and enter into my Presence: 
And in this, their pilgrimage, shall they be my children, even Israel; 
Therefore, do as I have asked of thee; and be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto the Mount of Ha’Elohim, thou and thy wife, Zipporah, and present thyself there to me in the top of the Mount. 
And no one else shall come up with thee; neither let anyone be seen throughout all the Mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that Mount; but thy wife, Zipporah, she shall thou bring with thee. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and he rose up early in the morning, and went up unto the Mount with his wife, Zipporah, even as YHVH had commanded him, and they took with them the two tables of sapphire. 
And YHVH descended in the cloud, and stood with them there, and that angel of YHVH proclaimed the name of YHVH. 
And the angel of YHVH passed by before them and proclaimed: YHVH, YHVH El, is merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, 
Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity, and rebellion, and sin; acquitting not the transgressors, 
But visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and upon the children's children unto the third and to the fourth generation. 
And Moses and Zipporah made haste, and bowed their heads toward the earth, and worshiped.

Chapter 33

The Ten Commandments

And Moses said: If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us! 
Though we are a stiff-necked people; forgive us our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance! 
And the Voice said: Behold, I make a covenant; before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth nor in any nation; 
And all the people among which thou art shall see the work of YHVH; for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee. 
Observe thou that which I instruct thee this day:

ONE

¶ I am YHVH, thy Elohim, thou shall have no other elohim before me: 
Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee; 
But ye shall tear down their altars, break their obelisks, and cut down their idols of wood, for thou shalt worship no other god; for YHVH, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous Elohim. 
Do this, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and my people should go a whoring after their elohim and do sacrifice unto their elohim, and one call thee, and thou eat of their sacrifice, and thou fulfill their desire to receive unto thy will to bestow; 
Which is to say, when they go a whoring after their elohim, ye too should go a whoring after their elohim, thereby giving pleasure to their flesh.

TWO

¶ Thou shalt make thee no molten elohim.

THREE

¶ The Feast of Unleavened Bread shalt thou keep: 
Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the first month; for in the first month thou camest out from Egypt.

FOUR

¶ All of the first born from every womb are mine; even the firstling among thy livestock, be they ox or sheep. 
But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou redeem them not, then shalt thou break their neck: 
All the firstborn of thy sons and thy daughters thou shalt redeem, and none shall appear before me empty handed.

FIVE

¶ Honor the Sabbath of the Seventh day: six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest; in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.

SIX

¶ And thou shalt observe the Sabbaths of the Feast of Weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the end of the season.

SEVEN

¶ Thrice in the year in thy Sabbaths shall all your children appear before the Lord YHVH, the Elohim of Israel. 
For I will cast out the nations before thee and enlarge thy borders; neither shall anyone desire thy land when thou shalt go up to appear before YHVH, thy Elohim, thrice in the year.

EIGHT

¶ Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the Feast of Unleavened Bread be left unto the morning.

NINE

¶ The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of YHVH, thy Elohim.

TEN

¶ Thou shalt not cook a kid in the milk of his mother. 
¶ And YHVH said unto Moses: Write thou these words; for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel; 
But they shall not understand my words, and the time will come that they should forget them; 
But when these words are returned unto my children, they shall be given the power to understand the true Priesthood of my covenant with my children, even Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses and Zipporah were there with YHVH forty days and forty nights; and while in the presence of YHVH they did neither eat bread nor drink water. 
And Moses wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, and the ten commandments.

Chapter 34

The Veils

And it came to pass that Moses and Zipporah came down from the Mount of Ha’Elohim with the two Tables of Testimony in the hands of Moses; 
And when they came down from the Mount, Moses and Zipporah did not see that the skin of their faces shone after they did talked with YHVH, they being in the Presence. 
And it came to pass that when Aaron and Miriam and all of Israel saw Moses and Zipporah; behold, the skin of their faces shone; and they were afraid to come nigh them. 
And Zipporah called unto them; and Aaron and Miriam and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto them; and Moses and Zipporah talked with them. 
¶ And it came to pass that afterwards all of Israel came nigh; and Aaron and Miriam gave Israel in Mitzvoth all that YHVH had spoken with Moses and Zipporah in the Mount of Ha’Elohim. 
And Moses and Zipporah did keep the veils on their faces until Aaron and Miriam were done speaking unto Israel; 
But when Moses and Zipporah went in the Tabernacle before YHVH to speak with Him, they took the veils off until they came out. 
And when they came out they did speak unto Aaron and Miriam, teaching them that which they should say unto Israel, even that which they were commanded; 
For when Israel saw the faces of Moses and Zipporah, that the skin of their faces shone, they were sore afraid; 
And so it was that Moses and Zipporah put the veils upon their face again until they went in to speak with YHVH, for Israel could not stand it. 
¶ And it came to pass that because there were those that would not hearken unto Aaron and Miriam, that Moses and Zipporah gathered all the congregation of Israel together; 
And they spoke unto them, saying: These are the words which YHVH hath instructed, that ye should do them: 
And Moses and Zipporah rehearsed all that which YHVH had told them unto Israel, but the people understood it not, and thus it was given unto them as the Law of Carnal Commandments.

Chapter 35

The Tabernacle

And it came to pass that Moses spake unto all the congregation of Israel, saying: This is the thing which YHVH commanded, saying: Take ye from among you an offering unto YHVH; 
Whosoever is of a willing heart, let them bring it, an offering to YHVH of gold, and silver, and brass, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood, 
And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil and for the sweet incense, and onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate. 
And everyone that is wise-hearted among you shall come and make all that YHVH hath instructed: The tabernacle, a tent, and covering, with taches, and boards, bars, pillars, and sockets, 
The ark, and the staves thereof with the mercy seat, and the veil of the covering, the table, and staves, and all the vessels, and the showbread, 
The candlestick also for the light, and the furniture, and lamps, with the oil for the light, 
And the incense altar, and the staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in of the tabernacle; 
The altar of burnt offering with a brazen grate, staves, and all the vessels, the laver, and its stand; 
The hangings of the court, the pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court, the pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords; 
The clothes of service, to do service in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron, the Priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the office of the Priest; 
The clothes of service, to do service in the Altar of the Orchards, the holy garments for Miriam, the Priestess, and the garments of her daughters, to minister in the office of the Priestess. 
And all the congregation of Israel departed from the presence of Moses and Zipporah. 
¶ And it came to pass that they came, everyone whose heart stirred them up, and everyone whom his spirit made willing; 
And they brought the offerings to YHVH to the work of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and for all His service, and for the holy garments. 
And they came, both men and women, as many as that had hearts that move them, and they brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, even all jewels of gold; and everyone that offered, offered an offering of gold unto YHVH. 
And everyone, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought them. 
Everyone that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought an offering for YHVH; and everyone, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it. 
And all the women that were wise-hearted did spin with their hands and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen; and all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' hair. 
And the rulers brought onyx stones and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate; and spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. 
The congregation of Israel brought a willing offering unto YHVH; every man and every woman whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which YHVH had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.

Chapter 36

The Master Mason

And it came to pass that Moses said unto Israel: See, YHVH hath called by name Bezaleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; 
And YHVH hath filled him with the Breath of Elohim, in knowledge and in wisdom, giving him understanding in all manner of workmanship, 
To devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning works. 
And YHVH hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 
These hath YHVH filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, of the embroiderer and of the cunning workman; 
In blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work and of those that devise cunning work. 
And thus was it said that Bezaleel knew the means by which to join the heavens and the earth, for the malakim had shown unto him how all things were created and thus he was skilled in the craft. 
¶ And it came to pass that Bezaleel called upon Aholiab, and they upon every wisehearted man, in whom YHVH put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that YHVH had instructed; 
And they received of Moses all the offering which Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it withal. 
¶ And it came to pass that the people brought yet more free offerings continually, day after day, morning after morning. 
And all the wise men that wrought all the work of the sanctuary came, everyone from their work which they made; 
And they spake unto Moses, saying: The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which YHVH instructed to make! 
And Moses sent out a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying: Let neither man nor woman make anymore work for the offering of the sanctuary. 
And it came to pass that the people were restrained from bringing; for the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much. 
¶ And it came to pass that every wise-hearted person among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet; with cherubim of cunning work made they them; the curtains were all of one size. 
And they coupled the five curtains one unto another; and the other five curtains they coupled one unto another. 
And they made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the woven edge in the coupling; likewise, they made in the uttermost side of another curtain in the coupling of the second. 
Fifty loops made they in one curtain, and fifty loops made they in the edge of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second; the loops held one curtain to another. 
And they made fifty taches of gold and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches, so it became one tabernacle. 
And they made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains they made them. 
And they made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made they upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second. 
And they made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one. 
And they made a covering for the tent of the skins of rams dyed red and a covering of the skins of badgers above that. 
And they made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up; one board had two tenons equally distant one from another; thus did they make for all the boards of the tabernacle. 
And they made boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward; and forty sockets of silver they made under the twenty boards—two sockets under one board for his two tenons and two sockets under another board for his two tenons. 
And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, they made twenty boards, and their forty sockets of silver—two sockets under one board and two sockets under another board. 
And for the sides of the tabernacle westward they made six boards; and two boards made they for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides. 
And they were coupled beneath and coupled together at the head thereof to one ring; thus they did to both of them in both the corners. 
And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets, and they made bars of shittim wood, five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle. 
And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle, for the sides westward; and they made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other. 
And they overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold to be places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold. 
And they made a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; with cherubim made they it of cunning work. 
And they made thereunto four pillars of shittim wood and overlaid them with gold; their hooks were of gold; and they cast for them four sockets of silver. 
And they made a hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework, and the five pillars of it with their hooks; 
And they overlaid the tops of the pillars and their fillets with gold; but their five sockets were of brass.

Chapter 37

The Ark of the Covenant

And it came to pass that Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood; and he overlaid it with pure gold within and without and made a crown of gold to it round about. 
And Bezaleel cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it, even two rings upon the one side of it and two rings upon the other side of it. 
And Bezaleel made staves of shittim wood and overlaid them with gold, and he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark to bear the ark. 
And Bezaleel made the mercy seat of pure gold; and Bezaleel made two cherubim of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat: 
One male cherub on the end on this side, and one female cherub on the other end on that side; out of the mercy seat made he the cherubim on the two ends thereof. 
And the cherubim spread out their wings on high and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, faces to face, they were intertwined in passion one to another; 
Even towards the mercy were the faces of the cherubim; their bosoms betwixt one towards another even as two lovers in the marriage covenant; 
And this that the Presence could be felt when any of Israel that were worthy should gaze between the two, male and female, 
And that the Voice should be heard by those that are worthy, should Israel gaze betwixt these two. 
¶ And Bezaleel made the table of shittim wood, and he overlaid it with pure gold and made thereunto a crown of gold round about. 
And also Bezaleel made thereunto a border of a handbreadth round about and made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about. 
And Bezaleel cast for it four rings of gold and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof; over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table. 
And Bezaleel made the staves of shittim wood and overlaid them with gold to bear the table. 
And he made the vessels which were upon the table, even the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and the covers to cover withal, of pure gold. 
¶ And Bezaleel made the candlestick of pure gold; of beaten work made he the candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers were of the same, 
And six branches going out of the sides thereof—three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof; 
Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower; so throughout the six branches going out of the candlestick. 
And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers; and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches going out of it. 
And their knops and their branches were of the same; all of it was one beaten work of pure gold. 
And Bezaleel made seven lamps, and their snuffers, and snuff dishes of pure gold; of a talent of pure gold made he it and all the vessels thereof. 
¶ And Bezaleel made the incense altar of shittim wood; and Bezaleel overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it; also he made unto it a crown of gold round about. 
And Bezaleel made two rings of gold for it under the crown thereof by the two corners of it, upon the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to bear it withal. 
And Bezaleel made the staves of shittim wood and overlaid them with gold. 
And Bezaleel made the holy anointing oil and the pure incense of sweet spices according to the work of the apothecary. 
¶ And Bezaleel made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood; and Bezaleel made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same; and he overlaid it with brass. 
And Bezaleel made all the vessels of the altar, even the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans; all the vessels thereof made he of brass. 
And Bezaleel made for the altar a brazen grate of network under the four corners thereof, from the base unto the midst of it; 
And Bezaleel cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves; and he made the staves of shittim wood and overlaid them with brass. 
And Bezaleel put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards. 
¶ And Bezaleel made the laver of brass and the foot of it of brass, of the looking glasses of the priestesses assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 
¶ And Bezaleel made the court; on the South side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits; 
And their pillars were twenty and their brazen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. 
And for the North side, their pillars were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver. 
And for the West side, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver. 
And for the East side, the hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three; 
And for the other side of the court gate, on this hand and that hand, their pillars were three, and their sockets three; and all the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen. 
And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; and the overlaying of their chapiters of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver. 
And the hanging for the gate of the court was needlework, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. 
And their pillars were four and their sockets of brass four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their hooks and pillars were of silver, and all the pins of the tabernacle and of the court round about were of brass. 
¶ This is the sum of the tabernacle, the even of the Tabernacle of Testimony, as it was counted according to the commandment of Moses for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron, the Priest. 
¶ And it came to pass that Bezaleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah; 
And with Bezaleel was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen. 
And Bezaleel did make the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brazen altar, and the brazen grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar, 
And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.

Chapter 38

The Holy Garments

And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet they made clothes of service, to do service in the Holy Place, and made the holy garments for Aaron as YHVH commanded Moses and Zipporah. 
And for the men they made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. 
And they did beat the gold into thin plates and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen with cunning work. 
They made shoulder pieces for it to couple it together; by the two edges was it coupled together. 
And the curious girdle of his ephod that was upon it was of the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen as YHVH commanded Moses and Zipporah. 
And they wrought onyx stones enclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the tribes of Israel. 
And they put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the congregation of Israel as YHVH commanded Moses and Zipporah. 
¶ And they made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. 
And it was foursquare; they made the breastplate double; a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled. 
And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was an Odem for the tribe of Reuben, a Pit'dah for the tribe of Simeon, and a Bareket for the tribe of Levi; this was the first row; 
And the second row, an Nofekh for the tribe of Judah, a Sappir for the tribe of Dan, and a Yahalom for the tribe of Naphtali; 
And the third row, a Leshem for the tribe of Gad, a Shebo for the tribe of Asher, and an Acḥlamah for the tribe of Issachar; 
And the fourth row, a Tarshish for the tribe of Zebulun, a Shoha for the tribe of Joseph, and a Yashepheh for the tribe of Benjamin; and these were enclosed in gold in their enclosings. 
And the stones were set according to the names of the tribes of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one with their name according to the twelve tribes. 
And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold. 
And they made two ouches of gold and two gold rings and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate. 
And they put the two intertwined chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate. 
And the two ends of the two intertwined chains they fastened in the two ouches and put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, before it. 
And they made two rings of gold and put them on the two ends of the breastplate upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward. 
And they made two other golden rings and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod. 
And they did bind the breastplate by its rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod as YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah. 
¶ And they made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue; and there was a hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of a habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend. 
And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen. 
And they made bells of pure gold and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates; a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in, even as YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah. 
¶ And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron and for his sons, and a miter of fine linen, and goodly turbans of fine linen, and linen gartels of fine twined linen, 
And a gartel of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework as YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah. 
¶ And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet: HOLINESS TO YHVH. 
And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the miter, even as YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah. 
¶ And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet they also made clothes of service, to do service in the Holy Place, and made the holy garments for Miriam as YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah. 
And they made for them the mițpaḥath of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. 
And they did beat gold into thin plates and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen with cunning work. 
And they made shoulder pieces for the mițpaḥath, which were joined to two of its corners for fastening it. 
And the curious girdle of her mițpaḥath that was upon it was of the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen as YHVH commanded Moses and Zipporah; 
¶ And they put them on the shoulders of the mițpaḥath for them an urim and thummim, that they should be stones for a memorial to the congregation of Israel, the faith of the daughters of Israel, that needed no sigh when YHVH was ready to lead Israel from Egypt. 
And this was even as YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah. 
¶ And they also made the breastpiece of gold, using the work of a skilled craftsman, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. 
And the breatpicece was of a short span, but wide, and they mounted on it one row of gemstones. 
And upon the one row was an Odem, a pearl, and a Šoham, even as YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah. 
¶ And they made upon the mițpaḥath thin chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold; 
And they bells upon the hem of the robe; a bell to minister in song, and in dance, and in libations, even as YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah. 
¶ And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Miriam and for her daughters, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen dresses of fine twined linen, 
And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework as YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah. 
And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet: HOLINESS TO YHVH. 
And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the heads of Miriam and her daughters, as YHVH commanded Moses and Zipporah.

Chapter 39

Ordination

And it came to pass that all the work of the Tabernacle of the Tent of the Congregation was finished; and the congregation of Israel did according to all that YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah, so did they. 
And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses: the tent, and all the furniture, the taches, the boards, the bars, and the pillars, and the sockets, 
And the covering of the skins of rams dyed red, and the covering of the skins of the badgers, and the veil of the covering, 
And the ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat, 
And the table, and all the vessels thereof, and the showbread, 
And the pure candlestick with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light, 
And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door, 
And the brazen altar, and the grate of brass, the staves, and all the vessels, the laver, and the base, 
And the hangings of the court, the pillars, and the sockets, and the hanging for the court gate, the cords, and the pins, and all the vessels of the service of the Tabernacle for the Tent of the Congregation, 
The clothes of service to do service in the Holy Place, and the holy garments for Aaron, the Priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the office of Priest, and the holy garments for Miriam, the Priestess, and the garments of her daughters, the Priestesses. 
And all this was according to all that YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah, so that Israel made all the work. 
And Moses and Zipporah did look upon all the work; and behold, the people had done it even as YHVH had instructed, even so had they done it; and Moses and Zipporah blessed them. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH spake unto Moses, saying: On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. 
And thou shalt put therein the Ark of the Testimony and cover the Ark with the veil. 
And thou shalt bring in the table and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick and light the lamps thereof. 
And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle. 
And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. 
And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar and shalt put water therein. 
And thou shalt set up the court round about and hang up the hanging at the court gate. 
And thou shalt take the anointing oil and anoint the Tabernacle and all that is therein and shalt hallow it and all the vessels thereof; and it shall be holy. 
And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering and all his vessels and sanctify the altar; and it shall be an altar most holy. 
And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot and sanctify it. 
And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation and wash them with water; 
And Zipporah, thy wife, shalt bring Miriam and her daughters to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation and wash them too with water. 
And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister unto me in the office of Priest; 
And Zipporah shall put upon Miriam the holy garments, and anoint her, and sanctify her, that she may minister unto me in the office of Priestess. 
And thou, Moses, shalt bring the sons of Aaron and clothe them with their robes and garments, and Zipporah shall bring the daughters of Miriam and clothe them in their robes and garments; 
And thou shalt anoint the sons as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the office of Priest, and Zipporah shall anoint the daughters as she didst anoint their mother; 
And their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations, 
But thou shall not anoint them nor shalt thou ordain them as thou and Zipporah, after the order of Enoch; but they that are worthy shall I send to one in that generation that should ordain them. 
And thus did Moses and Zipporah; according to all that YHVH commanded them, so did they. 
¶ And it came to pass in the first month, in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up. 
And Moses reared up the Tabernacle, and fastened the sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up the pillars. 
And they spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent above upon it, even as YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah. 
And they took and put the Book of Testimony into the Ark, and set the staves on the Ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the Ark; 
And they brought the Ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the covering, and covered the Ark of the Book of Testimony, even as YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah. 
And they put the table in the Tent of the Congregation, upon the side of the Tabernacle Northward, without the veil; and they set the bread in order upon it before YHVH, even as YHVH had commanded Moses and Zipporah. 
And they put the candlestick in the Tent of the Congregation, over against the table on the side of the tabernacle Southward, and they lighted the lamps before YHVH, even as YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah. 
And they put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the veil; and Moses and Zipporah did burn sweet incense thereon, as YHVH instructed them. 
And they set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle and he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of the Congregation and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering as YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah. 
And they set the basin between the Tent of the Congregation and the altar and put water there to wash withal. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses and Zipporah, and Aaron and his sons, and Miriam and her daughters washed their hands and their feet thereat; 
When they went into the Tent of the Congregation and when they came near unto the altar, they washed as YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah. 
And they reared up the court round about the Tabernacle and the altar and set up the hanging of the court gate. 
And Moses and Zipporah finished the work. 
¶ And it came to pass that a cloud covered the Tent of the Congregation, and the glory of YHVH filled the tabernacle. 
And Moses and Zipporah were not able to enter into the Tent of the Congregation for the cloud abode thereon, and the Glory of YHVH filled the Tabernacle. 
And when the cloud was taken up from over the Tabernacle, the congregation of Israel went onward in all their journeys; 
But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up; 
For the cloud of YHVH was upon the Tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys.

Chapter 40

The Offering of Aaron

And it came to pass that on the eighth day of the first month of the second year from the time Israel did leave Egypt that Moses called Aaron, and his sons, and the Elders of Israel; 
And he said unto Aaron: Take thee a young calf for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before YHVH. 
And unto the congregation of Israel thou shalt speak, saying: Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering, 
Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before YHVH, and a meat offering, mingled with oil; for today YHVH will appear unto you. 
¶ And it came to pass that they brought that which had Moses instructed before the Tabernacle of the Congregation; and all the congregation drew near and stood before YHVH. 
And Moses said: This is the thing which YHVH instructed that ye should do; and today YHVH shall appear unto you. 
And Moses said unto Aaron: Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself and for the people; and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them as YHVH required. 
Aaron therefore went unto the altar and slew the calf of the sin offering which was for himself. 
¶ And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him; and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar. 
But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin offering he burnt upon the altar as YHVH instructed Moses; and the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp. 
¶ And Aaron slew the burnt offering; and the sons of Aaron presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar. 
And they presented the offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head; and he burnt them upon the altar. 
And Aaron did wash the inwards and the legs and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar. 
¶ And it came to pass that Aaron brought the people's offering and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first; and brought the burnt offering and offered it according to the manner. 
And Aaron brought the meat offering, and took a handful thereof, and burnt it upon the altar beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning. 
¶ And Aaron slew also the bullock and the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people; and the sons of Aaron presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about, 
And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver; 
And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar; and the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before YHVH as Moses instructed. 
And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from offering of the sin offering, and the peace offering, and the other offerings. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses and Aaron went into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and came out, and blessed the people and did give them meat to eat from the offerings; 
And the Glory of YHVH appeared unto all the people, and Miriam and her daughters did lead the congregation in song and in dance before YHVH, the Elohim of Israel. 
And then there came a fire out from before YHVH and consumed the fat and all that was left that could not be eaten upon the altar; 
And when all the people saw this, they shouted and fell on their faces and did worship YHVH, their Elohim.

Chapter 41

The Sin of the Levites

And then the Voice of YHVH spake unto Aaron, saying: Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, or thou shalt be at risk of death; 
And this shall be a statute forever throughout your generations that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between clean and unclean; 
And that ye may teach my children, Israel, all the statutes which YHVH hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto his sons, Eleazar, and Ithamar: Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of YHVH made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar; for it is most holy, and none shall be wasted. 
And ye shall eat it in the Holy Place because it is thy due and thy sons' due, of the sacrifices of YHVH made by fire, for so I am instructed. 
And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place, thou, and thy wives, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee; for they be thy due and thy sons' due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the congregation of Israel. 
The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before YHVH; 
And it shall be thine, and thy sons', and thy wives’, and thy daughters’ with thee by a statute forever as YHVH hath instructed. 
¶ And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and behold, it was burnt up and could not be eaten; 
And Moses was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron, saying: Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the Holy Place, seeing it is most holy, and Elohim hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before YHVH? 
Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the Holy Place; ye should, indeed, have eaten it in the holy place as I commanded. 
And Aaron said unto Moses: Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their offerings before YHVH; 
And I too have sinned with them; and if I had eaten the sin offering today, should it have been accepted in the sight of YHVH? 
And when Moses heard this explanation, though he knew it would have been acceptable, he was content.

Chapter 42

The Trumpets of Silver

And it came to pass that Moses came out from the Tent, saying: Make thee two trumpets of silver; 
Of a whole piece shalt thou make them, that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly and for the journeyings of the camps, and the Levites shall blow the trumpets. 
And when the Levites shall blow them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before YHVH. 
And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves; 
And when ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward; 
When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey; they shall blow an alarm for their journeys; 
But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm. 
¶ And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then the Levites shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before YHVH, your Elohim, and ye shall be saved from your enemies. 
Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, the Levites shall blow with the trumpets over the burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of the peace offerings. 
¶ And it came to pass that the trumpets were made and were thus given to the Levites throughout the camps, that Levites that were amongst the people could sound the call, even as Moses had spoken, by the will of YHVH.

Chapter 43

Israel Leaves the Mount of Ha’Elohim

And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the Tabernacle of the Testimony. 
And Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of the Mount of Ha’Elohim; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran. 
And they first took their journey according to the instructions of YHVH, by the hand of Moses and Zipporah. 
In the first place went the standard of the camp of the tribe of Judah according to their armies; and over his host was Nahshon, the son of Amminadab. 
And over the host of the tribe of Issachar was Nethaneel, the son of Zuar. 
And over the host of the tribe of Zebulun was Eliab, the son of Helon. 
¶ And it came to pass that the Tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the Tabernacle. 
¶ And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies; and over his host was Elizur, the son of Shedeur. 
And over the host of the tribe of Simeon was Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai. 
And over the host of the tribe of Gad was Eliasaph, the son of Deuel. 
And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary; and the other did set up the Tabernacle against they came. 
¶ And the standard of the camp of Ephraim set forward according to their armies; and over his host was Elishama, the son of Ammihud. 
And over the host of the tribe of Manasseh was Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur. 
And over the host of the tribe of Benjamin was Abidan, the son of Gideoni. 
And the standard of the camp of Dan set forward, which was the rearward of all the camps throughout their hosts; and over his host was Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai. 
And over the host of the tribe of Asher was Pagiel, the son of Ocran. 
And over the host of the tribe of Naphtali was Ahira, the son of Enan. 
Thus were the journeyings of Israel according to their armies when they set forward. 
¶ And it came to pass that Zipporah, the wife of Moses went all the way of the earth, 
And Moses wept, and he called for Jethro, her father, and her sisters, and her brother; and they came and they wept with Moses and his two sons. 
And after their days of morning had passed, Jethro took his family and left Israel, but Hobab, the brother of Zipporah, did stay with Moses. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Jethro, the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law: We are journeying unto the place of which YHVH said: I will give it you; come thou with us, and we will do thee good; for YHVH hath spoken good concerning Israel. 
And Hobab said unto him: I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land and to my kindred. 
And Moses said: Leave us not, I pray thee, forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes. 
And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be that what goodness YHVH shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee. 
And they departed from the mount of Ha’Elohim three days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of YHVH went before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them. 
And the cloud of YHVH was upon them by day when they went out of the camp. 
¶ And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said: Rise up, YHVH and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee! 
And when it rested, Moses said: Return, O YHVH, unto the many thousands of Israel.

Chapter 44

The Prophets of Israel

And it came to pass that the people complained, and it displeased YHVH; and YHVH heard it; and His anger was kindled; 
And the fire of YHVH came and burnt among them and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp. 
And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto YHVH, the fire did stop. 
And Moses called the name of the place Taberah because the fire of YHVH burnt among them. 
¶ And it came to pass that the mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting after other foods; and Israel also wept again and said: Who shall give us flesh to eat? 
We remember the fish which we did eat in Egypt freely, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic; 
But now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all besides this manna before our eyes. 
And the manna was as coriander seed and the color thereof as the color of dar. 
And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it; and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil. 
And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, everyone in the door of their tent; and the anger of YHVH was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased. 
And Moses said unto YHVH: Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? And wherefore have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me? 
Have I conceived all this people? Have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me: Carry them in thy bosom as a nursing father beareth the sucking child unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers? 
Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? For they weep unto me, saying: Give us flesh that we may eat! 
And I am not able to bear all this people alone because it is too heavy for me. 
And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand if I have found favor in thy sight; and let me not see my own wretchedness. 
¶ And YHVH said unto Moses: Gather unto me seventy men and women of the Elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the Elders of the people and officers over them; 
Bring them unto the Tabernacle of the Congregation, that they may stand there with thee and I will come down and talk with thee there. 
And I will take of the Breath which is upon thee and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone. 
And say thou unto the people: Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, and ye shall eat flesh. 
For ye have wept in the ears of YHVH, saying: Who shall give us flesh to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt; therefore, YHVH will give you flesh, and ye shall eat. 
Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days, nor even a whole month, 
But ye shall eat of it until it come out at your nostrils and it be loathsome unto you because that ye have despised YHVH which is among you, 
And ye have wept before YHVH, saying: Why came we forth out of Egypt? 
¶ And Moses said: The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month. 
Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them to suffice them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them to suffice them? 
And YHVH said unto Moses: Is the hand of YHVH waxed short? Thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses went out, and told the people the words of YHVH, and gathered the seventy men and women of the Elders, and set them round about the Tabernacle. 
And YHVH came down in a cloud, and spake unto Moses, and took of the Breath that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy Elders. 
And it came to pass that, when the Breath rested upon these seventy, they prophesied and did not cease; 
But there two that remained in the camp, and the Breath rested upon them, and they prophesied in the camp. 
And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said: Two do prophesy in the camp. 
And Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, spoke, saying: My lord, Moses, forbid them! 
And Moses said unto him: Enviest thou for my sake? Would YHVH that all the people of YHVH were prophets and that YHVH would put the Breath upon every one of them! 
And Moses got him into the camp, he and the Elders of Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that there went forth a wind from YHVH, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth. 
And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day; and they gathered the quails; and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp. 
And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of YHVH was kindled against the people; and YHVH smote the people with a very great plague. 
And Moses called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah because there they buried the people that lusted.

Chapter 45

Moses, Prophet of YHVH

And it came to pass that the people journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah unto a place in the wilderness, and there they did abode. 
And there in the wilderness did Miriam and Aaron speak against Moses because of the woman whom he had married and had sent for after the death of Zipporah, his wife; 
For he had married many women as a prince of Egypt, and he did send for Kaashet, one of his wives, to be with him as he sojourned in Israel that he should no longer mourn the passing of Zipporah. 
And Miriam said unto Aaron: Hath YHVH indeed, spoken only by Moses? Hath he not spoken also by us? And YHVH did hear it. 
¶ And YHVH spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam: Come out ye three unto the Tabernacle of the Congregation. 
And they three came out. 
And YHVH came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the Tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth. 
And the Voice said: Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I, YHVH, will make myself known unto them in a vision and will speak unto them in a dream. 
But with my servant, Moses behold! with him will I speak face to face, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of YHVH shall he behold; 
Wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? 
And the anger of YHVH burned against them, and He departed. 
¶ And the cloud departed from off the Tabernacle; and behold, Miriam became tzara’at; and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and behold, she was cursed. 
And Aaron said unto Moses: Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us wherein we have done foolishly and wherein we have sinned. 
Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of the womb of his mother. 
And Moses cried unto YHVH, saying: Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee. 
And YHVH said unto Moses: If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut out from the camp seven days; and after that, let her be received in again. 
¶ And it came to pass that Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days; and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

Chapter 46

The Spies

And it came to pass that the people of Israel removed from their place in the wilderness and pitched in the wilderness elsewhere, that the sins of Aaron and Miriam be forgotten. 
And there it came to pass that YHVH spake unto Moses, saying: Send thou men that they may search the land of Canaan which I give unto my children, Israel; 
Of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, except Levi, and everyone a ruler among them; but from Levi thou shall send none. 
And by the instruction of YHVH did Moses sent them from the wilderness; all those men were heads of Israel. 
¶ And these were their names: 
Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua, the son of Zaccur; 
Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat, the son of Hori; 
Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, the son of Jephunneh; 
Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal, the son of Joseph; 
Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel, the son of Sodi. 
Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel, the son of Gemalli; 
Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi, the son of Vophsi; 
Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel, the son of Machi. 
Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur, the son of Michael; 
Of the tribe of Joseph, namely of the tribe of Ephraim, Joshua the son of Nun; 
Of the tribe of Joseph, namely of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi, the son of Susi; 
Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti, the son of Raphu; 
These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land; and Moses called Joshua, the son of Nun, to lead them. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan and said unto them: Get you up this way Southward, and go up into the mountain, and see the land, what it is, and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many; 
And see the land in which they dwell, whether it it be good or bad, fat or lean, and whether there be wood therein or not; 
And see the people of the land, and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents or in strongholds; 
And in this ye shall be of good courage and bring back of the fruit of the land, for now is the time of the first ripe grapes. 
¶ And it came to pass that they went up and searched the land from the wilderness and they ascended by the South; 
And they came unto a brook, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff, and they brought of the pomegranates and of the figs. 
¶ And it came to pass that the men returned from searching of the land after forty days; 
And upon their return, they came unto Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of Israel and brought back word unto them and unto all the congregation, and showed unto them the fruit of the land. 
And they spoke unto Moses saying: We came unto the land whither thou sent us; and surely it floweth with milk and honey, and this is the fruit of it; 
Nevertheless, the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled and very great; and, moreover, we saw the children of giants there. 
Giants dwell in the land of the south; and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and by the coast of Jordan. 
¶ And Caleb stilled the people before Moses and said: Let us go up at once and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. 
But the men that went up with him said: We be not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we. 
And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched on behalf of Israel, saying: The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature. 
And there we saw the giants, and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers; therefore, so would we be in their sight also. 
And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

Chapter 47

The Rebellion

And it came to pass that all of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron all the night, and into the next day. 
And the whole congregation said unto themsleves: Would Ha’Elohim that we had died in the land of Egypt! or: Would Ha’Elohim that we had died in this wilderness! 
And: Wherefore hath YHVH brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? and: Were it not better for us to return into Egypt? 
And thus dis they say one to another: Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt. 
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes; 
And they spake unto all the company of Israel, saying: The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land. 
If YHVH delight in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it us, a land which floweth with milk and honey. 
Only rebel not ye against YHVH; neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us; their defense is departed from them, and YHVH is with us; fear them not. 
And after they had said this, behold, all the congregation bade stone them with stones. 
¶ And it came to pass that the Splendor of YHVH appeared in the Tabernacle of the Congregation before all of Israel. 
And YHVH said unto Moses: How long will this people provoke me? And how long will it be before they believe me, for all the signs which I have showed among them? 
I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they. 
And Moses said unto YHVH: Then the Egyptians shall hear it, for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them, 
And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land; for they have heard that thou, O YHVH, art among this people, 
That thou, O YHVH, art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them by daytime in a pillar of a cloud and in a pillar of fire by night. 
Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying: Because YHVH was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore unto them, therefore, he hath slain them in the wilderness. 
¶ And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thy angel hast spoken, saying: YHVH is long-suffering and of great mercy, 
Forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation. 
Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people, according unto the greatness of thy mercy and as thou hast forgiven this people from Egypt even until now. 
¶ And YHVH spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying: How long shall I bear with this evil congregation which does murmur against me? 
I have heard the murmurings of Israel which they murmur against me; therefore, say unto them: As truly as I live, saith YHVH, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you; 
Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness, and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me. 
Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore to make you dwell therein, save Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun. 
But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in; and they shall know the land which ye have despised; but as for you, your carcasses, they shall fall in this wilderness. 
And your children shall wander here in the wilderness for forty years and bear your unfaithfulness until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness. 
After the number of the days in which he searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years; and ye shall know my breach of promise. 
I, YHVH, have said: I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation that are gathered together against me; in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die! 
And I have pardoned the according to the word of my servant, Moses; but as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the My Glory; 
And because all those men which have seen my glory and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice, surely they shall not see the land which I swore unto their fathers; neither shall any of them that provoked me see it. 
But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it. 
Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness, following the path along the sea. 
¶ And it came to pass that the men which Moses sent to search the land, who returned and made all the congregation to murmur against him by bringing up a slander upon the land, even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before YHVH. 
But Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still. 
And it came to pass that Moses told these sayings unto all of Israel; and the people mourned greatly. 
¶ And it came to pass that a part of the people rose up early in the morning and got them up into the top of the mountain, saying: Lo, we be here and will go up unto the place which YHVH hath promised; for it is ours! 
And Moses said: Wherefore now do ye transgress the mouth of YHVH? YHVH hath said ye shall not go, therefore ye shall not prosper; 
Go not up, for YHVH is not among you, least ye be smitten by your enemies, and ye shall fall by the sword; because ye are turned away from YHVH, therefore, YHVH will not be with you. 
But they presumed to go up unto the hilltop; nevertheless, the ark of the covenant of YHVH and Moses departed not out of the camp. 
Then the Amalekites came down and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill and smote them and discomfited them.

Chapter 48

The Fall of Israel

And it came to pass that when they failed to obtain the land of promise, Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men; 
And they rose up before Moses with certain men of Israel, two hundred and fifty heads of the assembly, well known in the congregation, men of renown; 
And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron and said unto them: Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and YHVH is among us. 
Wherefore, then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of YHVH? 
¶ And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face, and he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying: Even tomorrow YHVH will show who are His and who is holy and will cause to come near unto Him; even they whom He hath chosen will He cause to come near unto him. 
And Moses said unto Korah and all his company: This do: Take you censers and put fire therein, and put incense in them before YHVH tomorrow; and it shall be that those whom YHVH doth choose, they shall be holy; ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi. 
Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi; it seemeth it but a small thing unto you that the Elohim of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the Tabernaclea of YHVH, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them? 
And YHVH hath brought thee near to him and all thy brethren, the sons of Levi, with thee, and seek ye the High Priesthood also? 
Therefore, both thou and all thy company are gathered together against YHVH; and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him? 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, which said: We will not come up. 
Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a king over us? 
Moreover, thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards. Wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up. 
And it came to pass that after this, Moses was very wroth and said unto YHVH: Respect not thou their offering; I have not taken one ass from them; neither have I hurt one of them. 
¶ And it came to pass that the following day, they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation with Moses and Aaron. 
And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation; and the Glory of YHVH appeared unto all the congregation. 
And YHVH spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying: Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. 
And Moses and Aaron fell upon their faces and said: O YHVH, Elohim of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation? 
And YHVH spake unto Moses, saying: Speak unto the congregation, saying: Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the Elders of Israel followed him. 
And Aaron spoke unto the congregation for Moses, saying: Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins. 
So they got up from the tesnt of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram on every side; and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children. 
And Moses said: Hereby ye shall know that YHVH hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own heart; 
If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men, then YHVH hath not sent me, 
But if YHVH make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth and swallow them up with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit, then ye shall understand that these men have provoked YHVH. 
¶ And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground that was under them split apart and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. 
They and all that belonged to them went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them; and they perished from among the congregation. 
And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them; for they said: Lest the earth swallow us up also. 
And there came out a fire from YHVH and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense. 
¶ And it came to pass that on the next day that all the congregation of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying: Ye have killed the people of YHVH. 
And it came to pass that when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the Tabernacle of the Congregation; and behold, the cloud covered it, and the Glory of YHVH appeared. 
And Moses and Aaron came before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and YHVH spake unto Moses, saying: Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. 
And Moses and Aaron fell upon their faces, and Moses said unto Aaron: Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them; for there is wrath gone out from YHVH; the plague is begun. 
And Aaron took as Moses instructed and ran into the midst of the congregation; and behold, the plague was begun among the people; and he put on incense and made an atonement for the people. 
And Aaron stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed. 
¶ And it came to pass that they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died about the matter of Korah. 
And it came to pass that Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation; and the plague was stayed.

Chapter 49

The Rod of Aaron

And it came to pass that Moses sought to appease Israel, and went unto YHVH, saying: Lord ! Show me how to let they people know who shall lead them! 
And YHVH spake unto Moses, saying: Speak unto Israel and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all heads of their houses according to the house of their fathers, twelve rods; write thou every the name of man upon his rod. 
And thou shalt write the name of Aaron upon the rod of Levi; for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers; 
And in the Tabernacle of the Congregation thou shalt lay them up before the testimony, where I will meet with you. 
And it shall come to pass that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall blossom; and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of Israel, whereby they murmur against you. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses spake unto Israel; and every one of the heads of their houses gave him a rod apiece, for each head one, according to the houses of their fathers, even twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. 
And Moses laid up the rods before YHVH in the Tabernacle of Witness. 
And it came to pass that on the morrow, Moses went into the Tabernacle of Witness; and behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds. 
And Moses brought out all the rods from before YHVH unto all of Israel; and they looked and took every man his rod. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH said unto Moses: Bring the rod of Aaron again before the Testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not. 
And Moses did so; as YHVH instructed him, so did he. 
And Israel spake unto Moses, saying: Behold, we die; we perish; we all perish! Whosoever cometh anything near unto the Tabernacle of YHVH shall die; should we all perish then?

Chapter 50

The Deaths of Aaron and Miriam

And it came to pass that the whole congregation Israel went into the desert in the first month of the fortieth year after leaving Egypt; 
And while the people abode there, Miriam died and was buried in that place. 
And all of Israel mourned for 30 days, for Miriam did teach the women in all the ways of YHVH, even as Moses did teach the men, and she did lead the Priestesses, even as Aaron did lead the Priests. 
¶ And it came to pass that there was no water for the congregation; and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron. 
And the people did chide with Moses and spake, saying: Would that we had died when our brethren died before YHVH! 
And: Why have ye brought up the congregation of YHVH into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die here? 
And: Wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? It is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses and Aaron went from the Presence of the Assembly unto the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and they fell upon their faces; and the Glory of YHVH appeared unto them. 
And YHVH spake unto Moses, saying: Take thy rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou and Aaron, thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; 
And it shall give forth her water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock; so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink. 
¶ And so it was that Moses took the rod from before the Presence of YHVH as YHVH commanded him. 
And Moses and Aaron gathered together the congregation before the rock, and Aaron said unto them: Hear now, ye rebels! Must we fetch you water out of this rock? 
And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice; and the water came out abundantly; and the congregation drank, and their beasts also. 
¶ And the Priestesses sang this song: Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it; 
The princes dug the well; 
The nobles of the people dug it, 
By the direction of the Lawgiver, with their staves. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying: Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of my children, Israel; therefore, ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom: Thus saith thy brother, Israel: Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us, 
How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time, and the Egyptians vexed us and our fathers; 
And when we cried unto YHVH, He heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt; and behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border. 
Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country; we will not pass through the fields or through the vineyards; neither will we drink of the water of the wells; 
But we shall go by the highway of the king; we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left until we have passed thy borders. 
¶ And it came to pass that Edom said unto him: Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword. 
And Israel said unto him: We will go by the highway; and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it; I will only, without doing anything else, go through on my feet. 
And Edom said: Thou shalt not go through. 
And it came to pass that Edom came out against him with much people and with a strong hand; 
Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border; wherefore, Israel turned away from him. 
¶ And it came to pass in that same year, that Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from their place in the wilderness and came unto a certain mountain. 
And YHVH spake unto Moses and Aaron there, saying: Aaron shall be gathered unto his people; for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto Israel because ye rebelled against my Word when ye broke forth the waters from that rock. 
Take Aaron and Eleazar, his son, and bring them up unto this mountain, and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar, his son; and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people and shall die there. 
And it came to pass that Moses did as YHVH instructed; and they went up into that mountain in the sight of all the congregation of Israel. 
And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments and put them upon Eleazar, his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount; and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount. 
And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.

Chapter 51

The Brass Serpent

And it came to pass that when the king of the Canaanites, which dwelt in the South, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies, then he fought against Israel and took some of them prisoners. 
And Israel vowed a vow unto YHVH and said: If thou wilt, indeed, deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities. 
And YHVH did hearken unto the voice of Israel and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities. 
¶ And it came to pass that Israel journeyed from the mountain by the way of the path along the sea, to compass the land of Edom; and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way. 
And the people spake against Elohim and against Moses: Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread; neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. 
And it came to pass that YHVH was sore in His wrath against them, and sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died; 
Therefore, the people came to Moses and said: We have sinned, for we have spoken against YHVH and against thee; pray unto YHVH that he take away the serpents from us! 
And Moses prayed on behalf of the people. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH said unto Moses: Make thee a fiery serpent and set it upon a pole; and it shall come to pass that everyone that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live; 
But they who shall not look, these shall parish, and this shall be as a sign unto my children, Israel, of the easiness of my ways, should they hear and head my Voice. 
And it came to pass that Moses made a serpent of brass and put it upon a pole; and it came to pass that if a serpent had bitten one of Israel, when they beheld the serpent of brass, they lived; 
But if they would not look, for the simpleness of the task, them they were taken to the grave.

Chapter 52

The Angel and the Ass

And it came to pass that Israel sent messengers unto the king of the Amorites, saying: Let me pass through thy land; 
We will not turn into the fields or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well; but we will go along by the highway of the king until we be past thy borders. 
But the king of the Amorites would not suffer Israel to pass through his border; but he did gathered all his people together and went out against Israel into the wilderness and fought against Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that Israel smote him with the edge of the sword and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok. 
And Israel took all these cities; and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon and in all the villages thereof; 
For Heshbon was the city of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon. 
Thus did Israel dwell in the land of the Amorites. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses sent to spy out Jaazer; and they took the villages thereof and drove out the Amorites that were there. 
And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan; and the king of Bashan, went out against them, he and all his people, to the battle at Edrei. 
And YHVH said unto Moses: Fear him not; for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto the king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. 
So it was that Israel smote him, and his sons, and all his people until there was none left him alive; and they possessed his land. 
And so it was that Israel set forward and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side of Jordan by Jericho. 
¶ And it came to pass that the king of Moab, who was Balak, the son of Zippor, saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. 
And Balak sent messengers unto Balaam the prophet, the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people. 
And Balak called to Balaam, saying: Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt; behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me. 
Come now, therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me; peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land; for I know that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed. 
And it came to pass that Balaam said unto the messengers: Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again as YHVH shall speak unto me; and the messengers abode with Balaam. 
And El Elyon came unto Balaam and said: What men are these with thee? 
And Balaam said unto Elohim: Balak, the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying: Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth; come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them and drive them out. 
And El Elyon said unto Balaam: Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people, for they are blessed. 
And Balaam rose up in the morning and said unto the messengers of Balak: Get you into your land; for YHVH refuseth to give me leave to go with you. 
And the messengers of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak and said: Balaam refuseth to come with us. 
¶ And it came to pass that Balak grew more troubled in his heart, and he sent messengers, even princes, 
And they came to Balaam and said to him: Thus saith Balak, the son of Zippor: Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me; 
For I will promote thee unto very great honor, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me; come, therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people. 
And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak: If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of YHVH, my Elohim to do less or more; 
Now, therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what YHVH will say unto me more. 
And El Elyon came unto Balaam at night and said unto him: If the men come to call thee, rise up if thou wilt go with them; but yet only the words which I shall say unto thee shalt thou speak. 
¶ And it came to pass that Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab. 
And the anger of Ha’Elohim was kindled because he went; and the angel of YHVH stood in the way for an adversary against him. 
And it came to pass that he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him, and the ass saw the angel of YHVH standing in the way and his sword drawn in his hand; 
And the ass turned aside out of the way and went into the field; and Balaam smote the ass to turn her into the way. 
But the angel of YHVH stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side and a wall on that side. 
And when the ass saw the angel of YHVH, she thrust herself unto the wall and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall; and he smote her again. 
And the angel of YHVH went further and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. 
And when the ass saw the angel of YHVH, she fell down under Balaam; and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff. 
And YHVH did open the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam: What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? 
And Balaam said unto the ass: Because thou hast mocked me; I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee. 
And the ass said unto Balaam: Am not I thine ass upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? Was I ever wont to do so unto thee? 
And Balaam said: Nay. 
Then YHVH opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of YHVH standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand; and he bowed down his head and fell flat on his face. 
And the angel of YHVH said unto him: Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? 
Behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me. 
And the ass saw me and turned from me these three times; unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee and saved her alive. 
And Balaam said unto the angel of YHVH: I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me. 
Now, therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again. 
And the angel of YHVH said unto Balaam: Go with the men; but only the word that the Voice shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak.

Chapter 53

Balaam, Prophet of YHVH, Blesses Israel

And it came to pass that Balaam went with the messangers of Balak, and when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab. 
And Balak said unto Balaam: Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? Wherefore camest thou not unto me? Am I not able, indeed, to promote thee to honor? 
And Balaam said unto Balak: Lo, I am come unto thee; have I now any power at all to say anything? The Word that Ha’Elohim putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak. 
¶ And it came to pass that Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto the city of the streets. 
And Balak offered oxen and sheep and sent to Balaam and to the men that were with him. 
And it came to pass, on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost part of the people. 
And Balaam said unto Balak: Build me here seven altars and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams. 
And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram. 
And Balaam said unto Balak: Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go; peradventure YHVH will come to meet me; and whatsoever he showeth me I will tell thee. 
¶ And Balaam went to a high place, and there the angel of YHVH met Balaam; and Balaam said: I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram. 
And the Voice put a word into the mouth of Balaam and the angel of YHVH said: Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak. 
And Balaam returned unto Balak, and lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he and all the leaders of Moab. 
And Balaam took up to prophesy, saying: Balak, the king of Moab, hath brought me from out of the mountains of the East, saying: Come, curse me the house of Jacob, and come, defy Israel. 
How shall I curse whom El Elyon hath not cursed? Or how shall I defy whom YHVH hath not defied? 
For from the top of the rocks I see Him, and from the hills I behold Him; lo, the people shall dwell alone and shall not be reckoned among the nations. 
Who can count the dust of the seed of Jacob and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his! 
¶ And Balak hear all this and said unto Balaam: What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and behold, thou hast blessed them altogether. 
And Balaam answered and said: Must I not take heed to speak that which YHVH hath put in my mouth? 
And Balak said unto him: Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them; thou shalt see but the utmost part of them and shalt not see them all; and curse me them from thence. 
And Balak brought Balaam into the summit of mountain of the Iyrin, unto the cleft of the mountain, and there built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar. 
And it came to pass that Balaam said unto Balak: Stand here by thy burnt offering while I meet YHVH yonder. 
And the angel YHVH met Balaam, and the Voice again put the Word in his mouth, and the angel of YHVH said: Go again unto Balak and say thus. 
And when Balaam came to Balak, behold, he stood by the burnt offering, and the chieftains of Moab with him. 
And Balak said unto him: What hath YHVH spoken? 
And Balaam opened his mouth and prophesied, saying: Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor; 
YHVH is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent. 
And what YHVH said, shall He not do it? Or what He hath spoken, and shall He not make it good? 
Behold, I have received the instruction to bless; and YHVH hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. 
Ha’Elohim hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob; neither hath Ha’Elohim seen perverseness in Israel; YHVH, the Elohim of Israel, is with them, and the battle cry of Melchizedek is among them. 
Ha’Elohim hath brought Israel out of Egypt; Israel hath, as it were, the strength of a wild ox; 
Surely there is no enchantment against Israel; neither is there any divination against Israel; according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel: What hath God wrought! 
Behold, the people of Israel shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up as a young lion; they shall not lie down until they shall eat of the prey and drink the blood of the slain. 
And Balak said unto Balaam: What sayest thou? Doth thou seeketh to destry me? Neither curse them at all nor bless them at all! 
But Balaam answered and said unto Balak: Did I not warn thee, saying: All that YHVH speaketh, that I must do? 
But Balak sought still to sway Balaam, prophet of YHVH.

Chapter 54

The Star of Israel

And Balak said unto Balaam: Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; perhaps it will please Ha’Elohim that thou mayest curse them for me from thence. 
And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon. 
And Balaam said unto Balak: Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. 
And Balak did as Balaam had said and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar. 
And it came to pass that when Balaam saw that it pleased YHVH to bless Israel, he went not as at other times to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness. 
And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the Breath of Elohim came upon him. 
¶ And Balaam again opened his mouth, saying: The prophecy of Balaam, the son of Beor; he whose eyes are open; 
The prophecy of he who heard the words of El Elyon, which saw the vision of Elohim Shaddai, falling into a trance but having his eyes open: 
How goodly are thy tents, and thy tabernacles, O Israel! 
As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the side of the river, as the trees of aloe which YHVH hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters! 
She shall pour the water out of her buckets, and her seed shall be in many waters, and her King, who is YHVH, shall be higher than the king of Amalek; and the kingdom of Israel shall be exalted! 
El Elyon brought Israel forth out of Egypt; she hath as it were the strength of a wild ox; Israel shall eat up the nations of her enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with her arrows. 
Israel hath been brought low by YHVH, yet she lay down as a lion, even as a great lion; and who shall stir her up? 
Blessed are they that blesseth Israel, and cursed are they that curseth her; therefore show her kindness that YHVH should have mercy on you. 
¶ And it came to pass that the anger of Balakwas kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together; and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times; 
Therefore, now flee thou to thy place; I thought to promote thee unto great honor; but lo, YHVH hath kept thee back from honor. 
And Balaam said unto Balak: Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying: If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of YHVH, to do either good or bad of mine own heart? 
I shall not lie for thee, but what YHVH saith, that will I speak. 
¶ And now, behold, I go unto my people; come, therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days. 
And Balaam prophesied: Balaam, the son of Beor, hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said: 
He hath said, which heard the words of El Elyon and knew the knowledge of the Most High, which saw the vision of Elohim Shaddai, falling into a trance but having his eyes open, 
I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not nigh; there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth. 
And Edom shall be a possession; Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly. 
Out of Israel shall come he that shall have dominion and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city. 
¶ And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable and said: Amalek was the first of the nations, but his latter end shall be that he perish forever. 
¶ And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his prophecy, and said: Strong is thy dwelling place, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock; 
Nevertheless, the Kenite shall be wasted until Asshur shall carry thee away captive. 
¶ And he took up his prophecy, saying: Alas, who shall live when El Elyon doeth this? 
And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber; and he also shall perish forever. 
And Balaam rose up, and went, and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.

Chapter 55

The Daughter’s Due

And it came to pass that when Israel abode in Shittim, the people began to commit whoredoms with the daughters of Moab, even as YHVH had warned; 
For the people of Moab called the people of Israel unto the sacrifices of their elohim; and the people did eat and bowed down to their elohim. 
And Israel joined in the house of Peor, an elohim of the Moabites; and the anger of YHVH was kindled against Israel. 
And it came to pass that YHVH sent a plague and many of the men of Israel died. 
¶ And it came to pass, after the plague, that the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh, the son of Joseph came unto Moses and Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest; 
And Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, had no sons, but daughters; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah. 
And these, the daughters of Zelophehad stood before Moses, and before Eleazar, the Priest, and before the princes and all the congregation by the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, saying: Our father died in the wilderness, 
And he was not in the company of they that gathered themselves together against YHVH in the company of Korah, but died in his own sin and had no sons. 
Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family because he hath no son? 
Give unto us, therefore, a possession among the brethren of our father. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses brought their cause before YHVH. 
And YHVH spake unto Moses, saying: The daughters of Zelophehad speak right; thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them. 
¶ These are the families of Manasseh and those that were numbered of them, these are the sons of Ephraim after their families: of Shuthelah, the family of the Shuthalhites; of Becher, the family of the Bachrites; of Tahan, the family of the Tahanites. 
And these are the sons of Shuthelah: of Eran, the family of the Eranites. 
These are the families of the sons of Ephraim according to those that were numbered of them, thirty and two thousand and five hundred; these are the sons of Joseph after their families. 
And YHVH spoke unto Moses, saying: These are the names of those which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar, the Priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun. 
And ye shall take one to be the head of every tribe to divide the land by inheritance. 
And the names of the men are these: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, the son of Jephunneh; 
And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel, the son of Ammihud; 
Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad, the son of Chislon; 
And the head of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki, the son of Jogli; 
The head of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel, the son of Ephod; 
And the head of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel, the son of Shiphtan; 
And the head of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan, the son of Parnach; 
And the head of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel, the son of Azzan; 
And the head of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud, the son of Shelomi; 
And the head of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel, the son of Ammihud. 
These are they whom YHVH instructed to divide the inheritance unto Israel in the land of Canaan. 
¶ And it came to pass that the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near and spake before Moses and before the princes, the chief fathers of Israel; 
And they said: YHVH instructed my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to Israel; and my lord was instructed by YHVH to give the inheritance of Zelophehad, our brother, unto his daughters. 
And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received; so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance. 
And when the jubilee of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe where unto they are received; so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers. 
¶ And Moses instructed Israel according to the word of YHVH, saying: The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well. 
Concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, this is the thing which YHVH doth command, saying: Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their fathers shall they marry. 
So shall the inheritance of Israel not be removed from tribe to tribe; for every one of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 
And every daughter that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of Israel shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that Israel may enjoy, everyone, the inheritance of his fathers. 
Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of Israel shall keep themselves to their own inheritance. 
Even as YHVH commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad; 
For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons; 
And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh, the son of Joseph; and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.

Chapter 56

Moses is Taken

And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH came unto Moses, saying: Get thee up into the Mount and see the land which YHVH hath given unto His Israel. 
And when thou hast seen it, thou shalt be taken; for ye rebelled against my instruction in the desert, in the strife of the congregation thou didst not sanctify me at the water before their eyes. 
And Moses spake unto the angel of YHVH, saying: Let YHVH, and the Elohim of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation, which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in, 
And this that the congregation of YHVH be not as sheep which have no shepherd. 
And the angel of YHVH spake unto Moses, saying: Take thee Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay thine hand upon him; 
And set him before Eleazar, the Priest, and before all the congregation, and give him a charge in their sight. 
And thou shalt put some of thine honor upon him, that all the congregation of my children, Israel, may be obedient. 
¶ And Joshua shall stand before Eleazar, the Priest, who shall ask counsel for him by way of the judgment of the Urim and Thummim before me; thus sayeth YHVH; 
At his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he and all of Israel, with him, even all of the congregation. 
And it came to pass that Moses did as the angel of YHVH instructed him; 
And he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar, the Priest, and before all the congregation; and he laid his hands upon Joshua blessed him and gave him a charge as the angel of YHVH had instructed. 
And it came to pass that Moses went up the mount, even as the angel of YHVH had instructed, and he took with him Joshua; 
But part way up the mount, he left Joshua and went alone unto the Face of YHVH. 
And there YHVH did show him all the land of Gilead unto Dan, and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah unto the utmost sea, 
And the South, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar. 
And YHVH said unto him: This is the land which I swore unto thy father Abraham, unto thy father Isaac, and unto thy father Jacob, saying: I will give it unto thy seed; 
I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither. 
And it came to pass that Moses, the servant of YHVH, was taken up there, according to the word of YHVH; 
For YHVH took him from that mount unto his fathers; therefore, he hath no sepulcher unto this day. 
And Moses was of the one hundred and twenty-fifth degree when he died; his eyes were not dim nor his natural force abated. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua went up, and found him not; but there upon a rock he did find the Torah that Moses had brought up with him. 
And the people of Israel wept for Moses thirty days; so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended. 
And Joshua, the son of Nun, was full of the Spirit of Wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him; and Israel hearkened unto him and did as YHVH instructed Moses. 
And it was said that Moses tasted not death; for he was, and then YHVH took him, and he was found upon the earth no more.

The teachings of Moses and Zipporah, as given them by YHVH in Egypt and upon the Mountain of Strength

Chapter 1

The Covenant of the Passover

And it came to pass that YHVH spake unto Moses and Zipporah in the land of Egypt, saying: This month shall be unto you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you. 
Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying: In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them everyone a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for a house; 
And if the household be too little for the lamb, let they and their neighbor next unto their house take it according to the number of the souls; everyone according to their needs shall make your count for the lamb: 
And this shall be a lamb without blemish, a male of the first year; thou shall take it out from the sheep or from the goats; 
And thou shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs in the evening, 
And they shall take of the blood and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper doorpost of the houses wherein they shall eat it. 
And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 
Thou shalt not eat of it raw, nor shalt thou cook it with water; but roast the lamb with fire— his head with his legs and with the purtenance thereof. 
And thou shall eat of it, wasting nothing; yea, let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning thou shall burn with fire; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And thus shall thou eat it: with thy loins girded, thy shoes on thy feet, and thy staff in thine hand; and thou shall eat it in haste; for it is the Passover of YHVH. 
For I will pass through the land as a thief in the night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the elohim of thy enemies I will execute judgment; I am YHVH. 
And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the house where thou are; 
And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you when I smite the land. 
And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and thou shall keep it a feast to me, YHVH thy Elohim, throughout your generations; thou shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever; I am YHVH. 
¶ And for Seven days shall thou eat unleavened bread; even the first day thou shall put away leaven out of your houses; for whosoever eateth leavened bread, from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. 
And in the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation to you; 
No manner of work shall be done in them, save that which everyone must eat, this only may be done of you. 
And thou shall observe the feast of leavened bread; for on this same day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt; therefore shall thou observe this day in your generations by an ordinance forever; 
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at the evening, thou shall eat unleavened bread until the one and twentieth day of the month in the evening. 
Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses; for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether they be a stranger or born in the land; 
Thou shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And thou shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out at the door of your houses until the morning. 
For I, YHVH, will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when I seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, I will pass over the door and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you; 
And thou shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy children forever. 
¶ And it shall come to pass that when thou shall come into the land which I will give thee, according as I hath promised, that thou, Israel, shall keep this ordinance. 
And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you: What mean ye by this sacrament? 
And thou shall say unto them: It is the sacrifice of the Passover of YHVH, who passed over the houses of Israel in Egypt when He smote the Egyptians and delivered our houses; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ This is the ordinance of the Passover; there shall no stranger eat thereof; 
But even thy servants that are bought for money, when thou hast converted them, then shall they eat thereof. 
But those foreign to YHVH, they that know me not, these shall not eat thereof. 
And in one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall thou break a bone thereof. 
And all of the congregation of Israel shall keep it. 
And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee and will keep my Passover, let them come near and keep it; and they shall be as one that is born in the land; 
One Torah shall be to they that are born among you, and one Torah unto the stranger that sojourneth among you; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

Chapter 2

The Mitzvah of the Seventh Day Sabbath

And it came to pass that YHVH spoke unto Moses and Zipporah in the wilderness, saying: Write out the mystery of my creation, for in six ages did YHVH Elohim finished all the works of this creation, 
And the Sabbath was kept by YHVH and the Elohim in the seventh age, and it is hallowed for all ages, and appointed as a sign for all the works of YHVH Elohim. 
¶ And in the first age did Elohim create the heavens which are above and all the spirits; the angels, and the breath of fire, and the spirit of the winds ; 
And thus did Ha’Elohim divide the light from the darkness, opening the heavens, that the abyss and the darkness should be broken; 
And that the light which Ha’Elohim had prepared from before the beginning should be found in the heart of the creation. 
And thereupon the Morning Stars saw these works, and sang their praises; for great were the works of Ha’Elohim on the first day. 
¶ And in the second age Elohim created the firmament in the midst of the waters, 
And the waters were divided between the firmament that is the midst over the face of the whole earth, and the waters below the earth and in the abyss. 
¶ And in the third age Ha’Elohim commanded the waters to divide from the earth that dry land should appear. 
And the waters did as they were instructed, and they slept in the firmament, and the dry land appeared, and when the Heavens wept the Earth was made fertile. 
And in that age the seas were created, and the rivers, and all the gatherings of the waters upon the earth, and the dew of the earth; 
And because of this, the seeds were sown, and plants, and trees, all manor of shrubs were birthed in Eden, and Her garden was full upon the earth. 
¶ And in the fourth age Elohim birthed the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and set them in the firmament of the heavens; 
And these were give unto the earth to give light upon all the creation, and to rule over the day and the night, and divide the light from the darkness, that all things may prosper which should grow on the earth. 
And YHVH appointed the sun and the moon to be great signs for the earth; for days, and for Sabbaths, and for months, and for feasts, and for years, and for all the seasons of the years; 
And this too, that the will of Ha’Elohim should be known, as the Word of Ha’Elohim is written upon the skies. 
¶ And in the fifth age Elohim created the monsters of the deep, and the fish, and everything that moveth in the waters; the first of flesh upon the earth; 
And Elohim created birds, and the insects, and everything that flies, and all their kind; 
Yea, everything that was above the earth, and everything that is below the earth, and everything that shoots out of the earth that are flesh. 
¶ And in the sixth age Elohim created all the creatures of the earth, and all cattle, and everything that moves upon the face of the earth. 
Yeah, And after all this did Ha’Elohim create Adam, both male and female created They them. 
And it came to pass that I, YHVH, gave the people that were created charge over all that is upon the earth, and all that is in the seas, and all that flies above the earth; 
And mankind was given charge over all beasts of the deserts, and forests, and the mountains, and over cattle and the herds, and over everything that moves upon the earth, and over the creation upon the whole earth. 
¶ And Ha’Elohim finished all Their works in the sixth age; yea, all the works in the Heavens, and on the Earth, and in the abyss, and in the light, and in the darkness, and in everything; 
And this was given unto mankind as a sign, that we may remember the Sabbath day: 
That mankind should work six days, but keep Sabbath on the seventh day holy, for this is the seventh age, and it is the Sabbath of YHVH, for I am Lord of the Sabbath; 
And all the malakim that Ha’Elohim hath send fourth hath given mankind this mitzvah: To keep the Sabbath with me both in heaven and on earth, that the earth and the heavens be one. 
And I, YHVH, say unto you: Behold, I will separate unto Myself a people from among all of mankind made by Ha’Elohim, and these shall keep the Sabbath day, 
And I will sanctify them unto Myself, and I will set the apart as My people, and I will bless them; 
And even as I have sanctified the Sabbath and do sanctify it unto myself, even so will I bless Israel; and they shall be My people, and I will be their Elohim; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
And I have sent malakim unto all mankind that walketh upon the earth, and I have chosen the seed of Jacob to be my Israel from amongst all that I have seen, 
And have written Jacob down as my first-born, and have sanctified him unto myself forever and ever; 
And I will teach my Israel the mitzvah of the Sabbath day, that they may keep Sabbath thereon that they might rest from their labors, that they put their faith in me, and rest not upon the arm of the flesh; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And thus have I created therein a sign in this, that Israel should keep the Sabbath with Ha’Elohim on the seventh day; to eat, and to drink, and to bless me, YHVH, the Creator of all things; 
And as I have blessed and sanctified unto myself a peculiar people above all peoples, and they that keep my everlasting covenant shall join in and keep my Sabbath together and be my Israel: 
For upon My Word were the heavens and earth and everything in them created in the six ages, and Elohim did make the seventh age holy; 
Therefore I, YHVH, instruct thee on behalf of the Sabbath: Whoever does any work thereon shall be marked as one that hath fallen off the path, and that they who defiles it shall not be found in Israel; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
Wherefore, give my mitzvah unto all my children, Israel, to observe this day that they may keep it holy and not to defile it, as it is holier than all other days; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
And whoever profanes it shall surely be in tribulation, that my children, Israel, may observe this day throughout their generations, and not be uprooted from out of the land of their inheritance. 
And all they who observe and keep the Sabbath will be holy and blessed throughout all days, and shall stand as a reminder to those that abandon Israel for other elohim of the flesh, that they might walk in teshuvah and be my Israel once more; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
I give thee charge this day, say to my children, Israel: The Torah of this day, both that they should keep Sabbath thereon, and that they should not forsake it in their hearts; 
And that My Sabbath is a day to rest from any earthly burdens, that they should prepare for themselves on the sixth day all their labors, that they not bring in nor take out from house to house on that day; 
For Ha’Elohim kept the Sabbath holy and blessed it in the heavens before it was made known to any flesh upon the earth. 
And this charge to keep the Sabbath I give unto my Israel alone; yea, to Israel alone do I give them to eat and drink and to keep my Sabbath upon the earth. 
And I give them this charge: This mitzvahi and testimony should be given to thy children thy children's children forever, even unto the last generation; 
And this that all the earth might know that Israel be my covenant peoples; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

Chapter 3

The Covenant of YHVH: The Decalogue

And it came to pass that YHVH spoke unto Moses and Zipporah upon the Mount of Ha’Elohim, saying:

ONE

Thou shalt love YHVH thy Elohim with all thy heart, and with all thy might, and with all thy strength: 
Thou shalt adore YHVH, and serve me, and obey YHVH; thou shalt have no other elohim before thee. 
Thou shalt not make unto thee any image or likeness of anything that is in the Heavens above, or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters or in the abyss of the earth, to bow thyself unto it, or to worship it. 
Thou shalt bow thyself down before me, YHVH thy Elohim only; not bow down thyself unto, nor adore anything that thine eye beholdeth, or thy imagination conceiveth; 
For YHVH, thy Elohim, is jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, from generation to generation, even upon all that hate me, and showing a multitude of mercies unto them that keep my mitzvoth; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

TWO

¶ Thou shalt not take the name of YHVH, thy Elohim, in vain: 
Thou shalt not usurp dominion as a ruler; for HaShem, YHVH thy Elohim, is great and glorious above all others; 
YHVH is above all, and is the El Elyon of Ha’Elohim; I, YHVH am the only just and upright King over all. 
I alone hath the right to rule; and in my name, YHVH, only they to whom I granteth it; 
Whosoever is not chosen of me, the same is a usurper, and unholy, and I will not hold them guiltless that taketh The Name in vain; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

THREE

¶ Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy: 
Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of YHVH thy Elohim. 
In it thou shalt not do any work; thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy woman servant, nor thy cattle, nor the stranger that is within thy gates; 
For in six ages did I, YHVH thy Elohim, make the Heavens and the Earth, the sea and the abyss, and all that in them are, and I rested the seventh age; therefore, I blessed the seventh day and hallowed it. 
Thou shalt keep it holy unto me, that thou forget not the Torah, nor be thou found keeping the company of the vile, nor be despised by the righteous; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

FOUR

¶ Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: 
Thou shalt not revile them, nor speak evil of them, nor curse them; 
Thou shalt do no injustice unto them; and thou shalt maintain their rights against their enemies. 
Thou shalt not exact rigorously of them, nor turn aside from relieving them; 
Thou shalt deliver them from the snare and the pit, and shalt return their ox when it strayeth. 
Thou shalt comfort them when they mourn, and nurture them when they sicken. 
Thou shalt not abate the price of what thou buyest of them, for their necessity; nor shalt thou exact of them, because they leaneth upon thee; 
For in so doing thousands shall rise up and call thee blessed, and YHVH thy Elohim shall strengthen thee in all the work of thy hand; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

FIVE

¶ Honor thy father and thy mother: 
Thou shalt give heed to their instructions, obey their mitzvoth, and depart not from their precepts; 
Reverence their age, and seek unto their house all the days of thy life; 
Exalt not thyself against them, nor withhold to build up their house above thine own. 
Honor and obey YHVH and the Judges, and the rulers of the congregation, and all that are set in authority; for they are as fathers and mothers among the people; this that they may be a fear unto evil doers; 
And the Priest and Priestess also, who stand before YHVH, that they may instruct thee, and thy days shall be long upon the land which YHVH thy Elohim giveth thee; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

SIX

¶ Thou shalt not murder: 
Thou shalt slay no one in malice; neither thy child, nor thy wife, nor thy bondman, nor thy bondwoman, nor thy servant, nor the child of thy servant; 
Neither shalt thou slay thine enemy, except thou first admonish them, and entreat them, and they hear thee not, and Ha’Elohim given them into thy hand. 
Thou shalt only slay thy enemies in time of war. 
If anyone should trespass against thee, and break through, and do violence, thou shalt not slay them in revenge; 
But if thou overtake them in the trespass, thou mayest resist unto blood; and if thou slay them not in the trespass, thou shalt deliver them to the Judge; they shall judge them, and the hand of the judge shall be on them; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

SEVEN

¶ Thou shalt not commit adultery: 
Thou shalt not in any wise lie with the wife of thy neighbor; 
And if she seduce thee, thou shalt resist her; that thou pollute not thyself, and make not the place of thy house unclean, and destroy not the house of thy neighbor, and that thou cause no violence in the land. 
Thou shalt not lie with the wife of the stranger; 
Neither shalt thou lie with the wife of thine enemy; lest thy children be scattered abroad, and know not thee, nor the fear of thee be upon them, and they be strangers to My covenant, and the whole land be corrupt, and thine offspring be destroyed with the wicked; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

EIGHT

¶ Thou shalt not steal: 
Thou shalt not trespass upon anything that belongs to thy neighbor, to take it from them, nor to destroy it; 
Neither shalt thou trespass upon the stranger that dwelleth within thy gates, to destroy their substance, nor to take it from them; 
For to thee they looketh for justice, and a shield round about all that they hath; and the fear of YHVH thy Elohim is upon them also, and to their righteousness they also seeketh. 
Neither shalt thou over reach them by cunning, nor by stratagem, to take the substance from thy neighbor, nor the stranger within thy gates. 
Remember that ye were strangers in Egypt, and were oppressed, and thus thou shall oppress not the stranger, lest their cry ascend to Ha’Elohim against you; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

NINE

¶ Thou shalt not bear false witness: 
Thou shalt not speak falsely before the rulers of the congregation, nor before the Judge, nor in the assembly, nor among the multitude; 
Nor in the ear of thy friend, nor to thy spouse, nor thy child, nor thy servant; 
Neither shalt thou withhold the truth from the rulers, nor the Judge, nor anyone that is set in authority; for thus shall righteousness be established in all thy borders; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

TEN

¶ Thou shalt not covet the inheritance of thy neighbor: 
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, nor bondman, nor bondwoman, nor manservant, nor woman servant, 
Nor their horse, nor their carriage, nor their instruments of labor, nor the produce of their land, 
Nor the things that they have made, nor the treasures that they have in their storehouses, nor anything that is belonging to thy neighbor. 
Thy desire shall not be upon them, to take them by stealth, nor by fraud, nor by cunning, nor by violence; 
Neither shalt thou covet that which belongeth to the stranger that dwelleth within thy gates; 
But thou shalt improve thine own, and thy desire shall be unto it, lest thou be corrupt, and the hand of thy neighbors be against thee, and the cry of the poor ascend to Ha’Elohim against thee; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

Chapter 4

The Covenant of Israel

And it came to pass, after Moses did break the first tablets, that YHVH instructed that a second set be made; and Moses and Zipporah went back up to the Mount of Ha’Elohim, and YHVH spoke unto them, saying:

ONE

Thou shalt worship no other elohim.

TWO

Thou shalt make thee no molten elohim.

THREE

Thou shalt keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

FOUR

Thy first desire that come unto thee from the womb is mine.

FIVE

Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath and thou shalt rest.

SIX

Thou shalt observe Yom HaBikkurim at the time of the first fruits, and Chag HaAsif at the time of the final harvest in thy seasons.

SEVEN

Thou shalt gather all thy men children to appear before the Lord YHVH, the Elohim of Israel thrice in the year.

EIGHT

Thou shalt not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leaven.

NINE

¶ Thou shalt bring the first of the first fruits of thy land unto the House of YHVH, thy Elohim.

TEN

¶ Thou shalt not cook a kid in the milk of his mother; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

Chapter 5

The Torah of YHVH

Behold, I make an everlasting covenant; before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth nor in any nation; 
And all the people among thee shall see the work of YHVH; for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee. 
Observe thou that which I instruct thee this day; behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Thou shalt worship no other elohim: 
For the Lord, whose name is YHVH, is a jealous Elohim; 
Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee; 
But thou shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves; 
Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their elohim and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of their sacrifice, 
And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their elohim and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Thou shalt make thee no molten elohim: 
Nor shalt thou make unto thee elohim of wood, or of stone, or of any works by thy hand, or any elohim by the hands of men; 
For this thing is detestable unto me, that thou should go a whoring after other gods; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ The Feast of Unleavened Bread shalt thou keep: 
Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I instructed thee, in the time of the month thou camest out from Egypt; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Thy first desire that come unto thee from the womb is mine: 
All the firstborn of thy sons and thy daughters thou shalt redeem; 
And every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male; 
But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou redeem him not, then thou shalt set him loose: 
And none shall appear before me empty handed; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, thou shalt rest: 
And even in the times of plowing and in harvest thou shalt rest; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And thou shalt observe Yom HaBikkurim, the Feast of Weeks, which is the Feast of the Firstfruits of Wheat Harvest; and Chag HaAsif, the Feast of Booths which is Sukkot, in the seventh month: 
These shall be Sabbaths to thee, with the Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, that ye may gather as my Israel in remembrance, 
And this that the people should not forget their path in teshuvah that they be my Israel; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Thrice in the year shall all thy men children appear before me, the Lord YHVH, the Elohim of Israel: 
For I will cast out the nations before thee and enlarge thy borders; 
Neither shall anyone desire thy land when thou shalt go up to appear before me, YHVH, thy Elohim, thrice in the year; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven: 
Neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the Passover be left unto the morning; 
But there shall be none wasted, and all shall have their fill, that thou should rememberest all that I, YHVH, hath done for my Israel; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the my house, even the house of YHVH, thy Elohim: 
And these shall be given to the Priests and the Priestesses, and they shall give to the poor, and those in need, that their wants and their needs should be met; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Thou shalt not cook a kid in the milk of his mother: 
This thing is an abomination before me, for it mocketh the creation; therefore this thing is done in idolatry and priestcraft, and is profane before my sight; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And this is the eternal covenant that I make, between me and my Israel, see that thou keepst it that my people should be preserved upon the lands that I shall give them; 
For when thou are obedient unto my covenant thou shall be blessed, and prosper in the land that I shall give unto thee, but when thou are not faithful then shall my wrath be poured out upon thee; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

Chapter 6

Love YHVH, Our Elohim

And it came to pass that after YHVH did give the Torah of the Covenant unto Moses and Zipporah upon the Mount of Ha’Elohim, He spoke unto them again saying: 
¶ Thou shalt not blasphemy Ha’Elohim, nor curse the ruler of thy people; turn not unto idols nor make to thyselves molten gods; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
Thou shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither ear you up a standing image; neither shall thou set up any image of stone in your land to bow down unto it; for I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Thou shalt delight in blessing, and not in cursing; and in the name of Ha’Elohim and of all the Holy Ones, even all that are above thee, shalt thou bless; and it shall be a blessing. 
Thou shalt bless thy brethren and thy sistren, and thy children, and thy servants, and their children; 
And all who seek to learn the righteousness of Elohim, and the peace of Israel, and all whom I, YHVH, hath committed to thy care; and they who blesseth thee, thou shalt honor. 
¶ If thou walk in my statutes, and keep my instructions, and do them, then I will give thee rain in due season; and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit; 
And thy threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time; and thou shall eat thy bread to the full and dwell in thy lands safely. 
And I will give peace in the land; and thou shall lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; and I will rid evil beasts out of the land; neither shall the sword go through your land. 
And thou shall chase thy enemies, and they shall fall before thee by the sword. 
And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 
For I will have respect unto thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with thee. 
And thou shall eat of the old store and will need to clean out the old to make way for the new grains. 
And I will set my Tabernacle among thee; and my soul shall not abhor thee; 
And I will walk among you and will be thy Elohim; and ye shall be my people. 
I am YHVH, thy Elohim, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, that thou should not be their bondman; and I have broken the bands of thy yoke and made thee go upright. 
¶ But if thou will not hearken unto me and will not do all these instructions, and if thou shall despise my statutes, 
Or if thy soul should abhor my judgments, so that thou will not do all my instructions, but that thou break my covenant, I also will do this unto thee: 
I will even appoint over thee terror, consumption, and the sickness of chills and fever, that shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart; 
And thou shall sow thy seed in vain, for thy enemies shall devour thee and the fruits of the land in which thou should labor. 
And I will set my face against thee, and thou shall be slain before thine enemies; they that hate thee shall reign over you; and thou shall flee when none pursueth you; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And if thou will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish thee seven times more for thy sins; 
And I will break the pride of thy power; and I will make thine heaven as iron and thine earth as brass; 
And thy strength shall be spent in vain; for the land shall not yield her increase; neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And if thou walk contrary unto me and will not hearken unto me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon thee according to thy sins. 
I will also send wild beasts among thee, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy thy cattle, and make thee few in number; and your highways shall be desolate; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And if thou will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me, then will I also walk contrary unto thee and will punish thee yet seven times for thy sins. 
And I will bring a sword upon thee that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant; 
And when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and thou shall be delivered into the hand of the adversary. 
And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven; and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight; and thou shall eat and not be satisfied. 
And if thou will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me, then I will walk contrary unto thee also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise thee seven times for thy sins; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And if thou shall turn the hearts of the sons away from the hearts of the fathers, and hearts of the mothers away from the daughters then shall I come and smite the earth with a curse; 
And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols; and my soul shall abhor you. 
And I will make your cities waste and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation; and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors. 
And I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it. 
And I will scatter you among the heathen and will draw out a sword after you; and your land shall be desolate and your cities waste. 
Then shall Eden enjoy her Sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate and thou shall be in thine enemies' land; even then shall the land rest and enjoy her Sabbaths. 
And as long as Eden lieth desolate, it shall rest because it did not rest in your Sabbaths when thou dwelt upon it; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; 
And the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth; 
And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword when none pursueth; and thou shall have no power to stand before your enemies. 
And thou shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 
And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ But if thou shall confess thine iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me, 
And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies, if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity, 
Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob; and also my covenant with Isaac and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember thy mother, Eden. 
And the land also shall be left of them and shall enjoy her Sabbaths while she lieth desolate without them; 
And they shall accept the punishment of their iniquity and this because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes. 
And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away; neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly and to break my covenant with them; for I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their mothers and fathers, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their Elohim; I am YHVH. 
¶ And in all things that I have said unto thee, be circumspect and make no mention of the name of other gods; neither let it be heard out of thy mouth. 
Thou shalt not bow down to their elohim, nor serve them, nor do after their works; but thou shalt utterly overthrow them. 
And thou shall serve me, and I shall send Raphael to bless thy bread and thy water; and I will take the plagues of sickness away from the midst of thee; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

Chapter 7

The Mitzvath of YHVH

When thou prayest, thou shalt not use many words, or vain repetitions; for Ha’Elohim hath understanding: nor shalt thou cry aloud; for I, YHVH, thy Elohim, heareth the whisper of the heart. 
Nevertheless, when Israel shall gather in the assembly thou shalt speak with a loud voice, that they who prayeth with thee may say: So mote it be, Amen. 
Thy prayers shall be unto me, YHVH, for I am thy Father; and I am rich in mercy, and loving kindness; and in the heavens I shall hear thee in the fullness of my wisdom and goodness, 
And if thou believe on my name, thou shalt petition for whatsoever I has dispensed unto thee, for mercy is over all my works; 
And thou shall not swear by my name falsely; neither shalt thou profane the name of thy Elohim; I am YHVH. 
¶ They that sacrificeth unto any elohim, save unto YHVH only, they shall no longer be counted as one of Israel; 
For thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment; neither shalt thou trust or follow a wicked person in their cause; 
Therefore, whosoever be of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed as a burnt offering in sacrifice, they shall surely be cast out; 
And if any should sacrifice a living seed of Adam, the people of the land shall stone them with stones, it shall be a life for a life. 
And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to sacrifice; neither shalt thou profane the name of thy Elohim; 
For I am YHVH, and I will set my face against these and will cut them off from among this people because they hath given of their seed unto death, to defile my sanctuary and to profane my holy name. 
And if the people of the land hide their eyes, letting go this trespass of those who giveth of their seed unto the fire of sacrifice and kill them not, 
Then I will set my face against them and against their family and will cut them off, and all that go a whoring after them, to commit whoredom with death from among their people; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And I have said unto thee: Thou shall inherit their land; and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey; I am YHVH your Elohim, which have separated thee from other people; 
Thou shall, therefore, put difference between the clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean; 
And thou shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean. 
¶ A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit or that is a necromancer shall surely be cast out from among you, least their blood be upon you; 
Neither shall thou be ruled over by omens nor whisper enchantments in priestcraft. 
Turn thou not to the diviner, but let the dead have their rest; neither seek after your dead, to be defiled by them; 
Sleep not upon the grave that thou should be possessed by the dead, know not their secrets, but let them have their due. 
Thou shall not make any cuttings or incisions in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you for the dead; I am YHVH which sanctify you. 
And the soul that turneth after the necromancer and after their priestcrafts, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against them and will cut them off from among this people; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Thou shalt make tzitzits in the four corners of thy garments throughout all your generations, and thou shalt put upon the tzitsit a blue thread; 
And it shall be unto thee for a protection, that thou shalt look upon it and remember all thy mitzvoth unto me and do them, 
And thou shalt remember that Israel is a holy people, a nation of kings and queens, and of Priests and Priestesses; 
Sanctify yourselves, therefore, and be thou holy; for I am YHVH, thy Elohim; and thou shall keep my statutes and do them; I am YHVH which sanctify thee.

Chapter 8

The Sabbaths of YHVH

I am YHVH, thy Elohim, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, to give thee the land of promise and to be thy Elohim; 
Thou shall be my Israel, thou shall keep my Sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
Six days shall work be done; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, for a solemn assembly; thou shall do no work therein; it is the Sabbath of YHVH in all your dwellings. 
Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest, that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid and the stranger may be refreshed; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And six years thou shalt sow thy land and shalt gather in the fruits thereof; 
But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still, that the poor of thy people may eat; and what they leave, the beasts of the field shall eat. 
In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard and with thy olive yard; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year: 
Thou shalt keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread in which thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days as I commanded thee in the time appointed of the month; for in it thou camest out from Egypt; and none shall appear before me empty; 
And the Feast of Weeks, the firstfruits of thy labors which thou hast sown in the field; and the Feast of Booths, and this is when thou hast gathered in thy final labors out of the field; 
These three times in the year all thy males shall appear before me; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
Concerning the feasts of YHVH, which thou shall proclaim to be solemn assemblies, even these are my feasts, and I am YHVH. 
¶ Thou shall keep my Sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary; and thou shall be holy unto me; 
For I, YHVH, am holy and have severed thee from other people, that thou should be mine; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

Chapter 9

The Sabbaths of Passover and Yom HaBikkurm

In the fourteenth day of the first month at the evening is the Passover; 
And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread; seven days thou shall eat unleavened bread. 
In the first day thou shall have thy solemn assemblies; thou shall do no servile work therein; 
But thou shall offer an offering made by fire unto me for seven days; in the seventh day is a holy assembly; thou shall do no servile work therein. 
And thou shall count unto thee from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that thou brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be complete; 
Even unto the day after the seventh Sabbath shall thou number fifty days; and thou shall offer a new meat offering unto me; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Thou shall bring out of your habitations two loaves of bread from the first wheat from thy harvest; they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven; they are the first fruits unto me. 
And thou shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams; 
They shall be for an offering unto me, with their meat offering and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savor unto me, and should be fed to the poor among you that have not been cast out. 
Then thou shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of Peace Offerings. 
And the Priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before me, with the two lambs; they shall be holy unto me for the Priest and Priestess. 
And even if any of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body or be in a journey afar off, yet thou shall keep the Passover; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
The fourteenth day of the second month at even thou shall keep it and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 
Thou shall leave none of it unto the morning nor break any bone of it; according to all the ordinances of the Passover they shall keep it; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And if a stranger shall sojourn among you and will keep the Passover, according to the ordinance of the Passover and according to the manner thereof, so shall they do; thou shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger and for they that was born in the land. 
And thou shall proclaim on the selfsame day that it may be a holy convocation unto thee; thou shall do no servile work therein; it shall be a statute forever in all thy dwellings throughout your generations; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And in the Sabbath of Yom HaBikkurim, when thou bring a new meat offering unto me after thy weeks be out, thou shall gather the Solemn Assembly; thou shall do no servile work; 
But thou shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savor unto me: two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year; 
And their meat offering of flour, mingled with oil, three parts unto one bullock, two parts unto one ram, one part unto one lamb, throughout the seven lambs; and one kid, to make an atonement for thee. 
And thou shall offer them beside the continual offering, and the meat offerings, and their libations; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

Chapter 10

The Sabbaths of Zikhron Teru’ah (Rosh Hashanah), Yom Kippur, and Chag HaAsif (Sukkot)

And in the seventh month, in the first day of the month, thou shall have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. 
Thou shall do no servile work on the Sabbath of Zikhron Teru’ah for it is a day of teshuvah for you; but thou shall offer an offering made by fire unto me, YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ On the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be Yom Kippur; 
Thou shall gather in solemn assembly; and thou shall afflict thy souls and offer an offering made by fire unto me; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
And thou shall do no work in that same day; for it is the Day of Atonement, to make an atonement for you before me; 
For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, they shall be cut off from among this people; 
And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among this people; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
Thou shall do no manner of work; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings; 
It shall be a Sabbath of rest unto thee, and thou shall afflict thy soul; in the ninth day of the month at the evening, from the evening unto following evening, shall ye celebrate thy Sabbath. 
And the Priest shall take him two kid goats, and cast lots upon them; one lot for me, YHVH, thy Elohim, and the other lot for Azâzêl. 
And the Priest shall bring the goat upon which the lot fell and offer him for a sin offering. 
But the goat on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat shall be presented alive before me, to make an atonement with him and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness, given to Azâzêl; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Booths for seven days unto YHVH. 
On the first day shall be for a solemn assembly; ye shall do no servile work therein. 
Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YHVH; on the eighth day ye shall have your solemn assemblies, and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YHVH; 
And it is a solemn assembly for all your generations forever; and thou shall do no servile work therein; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
Also, in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when thou hast gathered in the fruit of the land, thou shall keep a feast unto me for seven days; on the first day shall be a Sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a Sabbath. 
And thou shall take thee on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and thou shall rejoice before me, YHVH, thy Elohim, seven days. 
And thou shall keep it a feast unto me seven days in the year; it shall be a statute forever in your generations; thou shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 
Thou shall dwell in a tent for seven days; all that are born into my Israel shall dwell in tents, 
That your generations may know that I made my children, Israel, to dwell in tents when I brought thee out of the land of Egypt; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And these are the feasts of my Sabbaths, which thou shall proclaim in your Solemn Assemblies at the harvest season, to offer an offering made by fire unto me; 
It shall be a meat offering by fire, and a sacrifice, and drink offerings, and libations; each of these thou shall do, each on its designated day, 
And these are in addition to the Seventh Day Sabbath, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which thou giveth unto me; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

Chapter 11

The Sabbath of Jubilee

When thou come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a Sabbath unto me, YHVH, thy Elohim. 
Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard and gather in the fruit thereof; 
But the seventh year shall be a Sabbath of rest unto the land, a Sabbath for me, YHVH; thou shalt neither sow thy field nor prune thy vineyard. 
That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed; for it is a year of rest unto the land. 
And the Sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee, 
And for thy cattle, and for the beasts that are in thy land; 
And all the increase thereof shall be meat unto thee; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the Seven Sabbaths of Years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. 
Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. 
And thou shall hallow the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof; it shall be a Jubilee unto you; 
And thou shall return unto everyone their possession, and thou shall return everyone unto their families. 
A Jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you; thou shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed; 
For it is the Jubilee; it shall be holy unto you; thou shall eat the increase thereof out of the field; I am YHVH, thy Elohm. 
¶ And in the year of this Jubilee thou shall return unto everyone their possessions; 
And if thou sell anything unto thy neighbor or buyest anything of the hand of thy neighbor, ye shall not oppress one another. 
According to the number of years after the Jubilee, thou shalt buy of thy neighbor; and according unto the number of years, of the fruits they shall sell unto thee; 
According to the multitude of years, thou shalt increase the price thereof; and according to the fewness of years, thou shalt diminish the price of it; for according to the number of the years, of the fruits doth he sell unto thee. 
Thou shall not, therefore, oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy Elohim; for I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
Wherefore, thou shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and thou shall dwell in the land in safety. 
And the land shall yield her fruit, and thou shall eat your fill and dwell therein in safety; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And if thou shall say: What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow nor gather in our increase; 
Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. 
And thou shall sow the eighth year and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in, thou shall eat of the old store; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ I say unto thee that the land shall not be bought, neither can it be sold; for the land is mine; for thou are strangers and sojourners with me; 
And in all the land of thy possession thou shall grant a redemption for the land, for it is mine; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

Chapter 12

Love Thy Neighbors

Thou shalt not curse out of the bitterness of thine own heart; nor shalt thou curse any but they that are under condemnation of my Covenant, and, being oft rebuked, will not repent. 
Thou shalt not curse thy neighbor, nor the stranger that dwelleth with thee; for the hand of the Judge is over them; and when they are rebuked, they might repent, and turn to righteousness; 
Thou shalt not curse any who are placed in authority, or have been given jurisdiction over thee. 
And if they oppress thee, or cause thee to suffer in unrighteousness, and thy cry ascend to Ha’Elohim in the heavens, then the heavens shall hear thee and I will be thy avenger; 
Therefore, curse not, lest thy curse return to rest upon thee; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Thou shalt neither vex a stranger nor oppress him; for thou wast a stranger in the land of Egypt; 
And I say again: Thou shalt not oppress a stranger; for thou knoweth the heart of a stranger, seeing thou wast a strangers in the land of Egypt. 
And if a stranger sojourn with thee in the land, thou shall not vex him; 
But the stranger that dwelleth with thee shall be unto thee as one born among you, and thou shalt love them as thyself; for thou wast a stranger in the land of Egypt; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Thou shalt not afflict any widow or fatherless child. 
If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; 
And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will send armies to kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows and your children fatherless; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as a banker; neither shalt thou lay upon them any interest. 
If thou at all take the raiment of thy neighbor to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto them by the time that the sun goeth down; for that is their only covering; it is their raiment for their skin; Wherein shall he sleep? 
And it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear him; for I am gracious; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Thou shalt not lie carnally with the wife of thy neighbor, to defile thyself with her; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ The first of the first fruits of thy land thou shalt bring into my house; 
And when thou reap the harvest of the land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field; neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. 
And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard; neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause; but shall feel and cloth the poor among thee that my people be free, and their wants and needs be met. 
¶ Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart; thou shall teach thy family that sin not suffer upon thy children. 
¶ Thou shalt not avenge nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

Chapter 13

Love Thy Mothers and Fathers

Thou shall be holy; for I YHVH, thy Elohim, am holy; 
Thou shall fear everyone their mother and their father and keep my Sabbaths; I am YHVH, thy Elohim; 
For everyone that curseth their father or their mother, surely their blood shall be upon them. 
Thou shalt rise up before the gray haired, and honor the face of the old man, and fear thy Elohim; I am YHVH. 
¶ After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein thou dwelt, thou shall not do; and after the doings of the land of promise whither I bring you, thou shall not do; neither shall thou walk in their ordinances; 
Thou shall do my judgments and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein; I am YHVH; 
Therefore, thou shall keep my statutes and my customs, which if anyone should do, they shall live in them; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Thou shalt not approach to any that is near of kin to thee, to uncover their nakedness; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
The nakedness of thy father or the nakedness of thy mother shalt thou not uncover; she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 
The nakedness of the wife of thy father shalt thou not uncover; it is thy father's nakedness. 
The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover. 
The nakedness of the son or daughter of thy son or the son or daughter of thy daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover; for theirs is thine own nakedness. 
The nakedness of the daughter of thy father's wife, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, and thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of the sister of thy father; she is the near kinswoman of thy father. 
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of the sister of thy mother, for she is thy mother's near kinswoman. 
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of the brother of thy father; thou shalt not approach to his wife; she is thine aunt. 
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter-in-law; she is the wife of thy son; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of the wife of thy brother; it is the nakedness of thy brother. 
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter; neither shalt thou take her the daughter of her son, or the daughter of her daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kins-women; it is wickedness. 
Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, besides the other in her lifetime. 
¶ Thou shalt not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a harlot, lest the land fall to fornication, and the land become full of wickedness. 
Thou shall, therefore, keep my statutes and my judgments and shall not commit any of these abominations, neither any of your own nation nor any stranger that sojourneth among you; 
For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them, shall be cut off from among this people; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
Whensoever I, YHVH thy Elohim, shall manifests myself unto thee in majesty and might, or walketh with thee, and evealeth unto thee wisdom and knowledge, thou shalt erect unto my pillars, tablets and enduring monuments, and make inscriptions upon them; 
And thou shall write and inscribe thereon my dealings with thee, and my blessings and mercies, and my power and glory, which I hath revealed unto thee; 
That it may remain a witness to the generations to come; and that they may know that thy Elohim is YHVH, and there is none else before me. 
Thou shalt preserve the memory of my chosen who have been faithful in my works, and in all whereunto I, YHVH thy thy hath asked of them as a memory for thy children, and the children of thy children; 
Therefore, thou shall do this that thou shall keep mine ordinance, that thou commit not any one of these abominable customs which were committed before thee, and that thou defile not yourselves therein; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

Chapter 14

Love Thy Heart

Thou shalt not commit adultery with the wife of another man; even he that committeth adultery with the wife of their neighbor, the adulterer and the adulteress, if it be that she was willing, shall surely be stoned; 
And the man that lieth with his the wife of his father hath uncovered the nakedness of his father; he shall surely be put to death; his own blood shall be upon him. 
And if a man lie with his daughter-in-law, and it so be that she was willing, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them. 
But if these should seek restitution, and walk in teshuvah, they may be cast out from among the congregation for a time, to prove themselves; and then they return and be one in Israel again; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people; he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity. 
For thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister nor of thy father's sister; for they uncovereth their near kin; they shall bear their iniquity. 
And if a man shall lie with the wife of his uncle, and she be willing, then he hath uncovered the nakedness of his uncle; they shall bear their sin and shall die childless. 
And if a man shall take the wife of his brother, and she be willing, it is an unclean thing; he hath uncovered the nakedness of his brother; they shall be childless; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness; they shall be removed from the congregation, both he and they, that there be no wickedness among you. 
But if a man also lie with a young boy, as a man would lieth with a woman, he hath committed an abomination; and that man shall surely be put to death; his own blood shall be upon him. 
Thou shalt not lie lie with the dead or defile them; it is abomination; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Thou shalt, therefore, keep all my statutes and all my judgments and do them, that the land, whither I bring thee to dwell therein, spew you not out. 
And thou shall not walk in the manners of the nation which I cast out before thee; for they committed all these things; and, therefore, I abhorred them. 
Therefore, thou shall cast out from the Congregation all they that would pervert Israel that thou be holy, even as I am holy; I am YHVH, thy Elohim, which brought you out of the land of Egypt and thou shall not pollute the land that I shall give unto thee.

Chapter 15

Love the Creation

Thou shalt not seethe a kid in the milk of his mother, it is unnatural, and an abomination before me. 
Thou shall eat no manner of fat: none of ox, or of sheep, or of goat; 
And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself and the fat of that which is torn with beasts may be used in any other way; but thou shall in no wise eat of it; 
Moreover, thou shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of thy dwellings; neither shall thou eat a beast while it still lives; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
It shall be a perpetual statute for thy generations throughout all thy dwellings, that thou eat neither fat nor blood; 
For I am YHVH, thy Elohim; thou shall, therefore, sanctify thyself, and thou shall be holy; for I am holy. 
¶ And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be cast out; and thou shall slay the beast; the blood of the beast shall be upon him. 
And if a woman approach unto any beast and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the beast; the blood of the beast shall be upon her; 
Neither shall thou defile thyself with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 
Thou shalt not lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith; neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto; it is confusion; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Defile thyself not in any of these things; for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you; 
And the land is defiled; therefore, I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. 
For I am YHVH that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your Elohim; thou shall, therefore, be holy, for I am holy.

Chapter 16

Love thy Neighbor

In length, in weight, and in measure thou shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; 
Just balances, just weights shall thou have; I am YHVH, thy Elohim, which brought you out of the land of Egypt. 
¶ If thou meet the ox of thine enemy, or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again. 
Thou shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another. 
Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbor, neither rob him; the wages of they that are hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning; 
And if thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden and wouldest refrain from helping him, thou shalt surely help him; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Thou shalt not raise a false report; put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. 
Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not; for I will not justify the wicked. 
Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people; neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Thou shalt not treat lightly the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but shalt fear me; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ In judgment thou shall do no unrighteousness; thou shalt not disrespect the person of the poor nor honor the person of the mighty; but in righteousness shalt thou watch over thy neighbor. 
And thou shalt take no gift, accepting no bribes; for the gift blindeth the wise and perverteth the words of the righteous. 
Thou shall keep my statutes, I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

Chapter 17

Love Thy Enemy

Thou shalt swear by my name, YHVH for I am thy Elohim, and this thou shall do by the reckoning of the Ruach HaKodesh, and by nothing less: 
Neither by the heavens, for the throne of El Elyon is there; nor by the hosts thereof, for they serve me; 
Nor by the earth, for it is the place of the sole of my foot; nor by the inhabitants thereof, for they are mortal, and vane; 
Nor by thyself, for thou art of a day, and shalt cease; nor by any work of mankind, for it perisheth; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Remember that I, YHVH thy Elohim, spoke by the power and authority of mine own name, and this because there is none greater: 
And by the greater shalt thou swear, even by Elohim Shaddai, whose is the Kingdom under the whole of the heavens. 
Thou shalt not swear by the name of any other elohim; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Thou shalt not profane my name, YHVH, thy Elohim, nor my Presence, nor my Breath by any oath: 
But such oaths only as my Torah requireth of thee and alloweth, shalt thou take upon thee; for all else is profane. 
Thou shalt not profane the name of El Elyon by any oath or vow, of thine own; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And thou shall make thy oath before the Rabbi, and the Judge, and the Ruler, and the Minister of the Torah; and before such as are set in authority, whensoever they require it: 
And there may be an oath also between those who enter into a covenant, and also between they that serveth, and they that ordereth; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Thou shalt perform all thine oaths; whether unto Ha’Elohim or unto mankind, thou shalt perform them; thou shalt do according to every word that proceedeth out of thy mouth. 
Thou shalt not speak with thy lips when thy heart giveth not assent, to do and to perform all the words of thy mouth; 
And if thou swear by an oath to do anything which is known to thee, and it be sin, it is not an oath of mine; 
Thou canst not profane the name of the holy to sanctify sin; I shall judge thee, and they that asketh it of thee, and thou shall bear your sins together; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And if thou swear by an oath to do a thing, and it be hid from thee, and thou know it not, and when it is known to thee it is sin; 
Thou shalt submit thyself unto the judgment of Ha’Elohim, and shalt do penance; and shalt make restitution, as shall be put upon thee, offering up a sin offering; 
And this that all sin may be put away, and thy heart purified, and wickedness put out of the land; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And if thy wife swear by an oath to perform anything which thou mayest disallow, and thou hold thy peace at her, the day that thou hearest it, her oath shall stand; 
If thou wilt not that she perform it, thou shalt disallow it presently; for if thou delay, and then disallow it, thou shalt answer for her oath, and shalt bear her iniquity; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ If thy daughter or thy son swear by an oath to perform anything which thou mayest disallow, and thou hold thy peace to thy child the day that thou hearest it, the oath shall stand; 
If thou wilt not that the oath stand, thou shalt disallow it presently; for if thou delay, and then disallow it, thou shalt answer for the oath, and shalt bear the iniquity of thy child; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And if thy servant swear by an oath to do a thing which thou mayest disallow, and thou hold thy peace at them, the day that thou hearest it, their oath shall stand; 
If thou wilt not that this oath stand, thou shalt disallow it presently; for if thou delay, and then disallow it, thou shalt answer for the oath, and shall bear the iniquity of thy servant; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
Thou shall make no oaths; but if thou should vow a vow unto me, or swear an oath to bind thy soul with a bond; then thou shall not break thy word, thou shall do according to all that proceedeth out of thy mouth. 
Thou shalt neither make any oaths with nor shall thou respect the oaths of the Mahan; but in righteousness shalt thou make and keep all thy oaths that thou shall keep my statutes; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

Chapter 18

Love Thyself

If thy brother or thy sister be waxen poor and hath sold away some of their possession, and if any of their kin come to redeem it, then shall thou redeem that which thy brother sold. 
And if the thy have none to redeem it and they be able to redeem it, then let them count the years of the sale thereof and restore the surplus unto those to whom they sold it, that they may return unto their possession. 
But if they be not able to restore it, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of they that hath bought it until the year of Jubilee; and in the Jubilee it shall go out, and they shall return unto their possession; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And if a man sell his dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it. 
And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established forever to him that bought it throughout his generations; it shall not go out in the Jubilee. 
But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country; they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the Jubilee. 
But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession; 
And know this: That all the land belongeth to YHVH for a possession, thou mayest buy and sell, but know thee that it is mine, and I give it to all of Israel as an inheritance; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And if thy brother or sister should wax poor and fall in decay with thee, then thou shalt relieve them; yea, though they be a stranger or a sojourner, that they may live with thee. 
Take thou no usury of them, or increase; but fear thy Elohim, that thy brother or sister may live with thee. 
Thou shalt not give them thy money upon usury nor lend them thy food or provisions for increase. 
And if thy brother or sister that dwelleth by thee wax poor and be sold unto thee, thou shalt not compel them to serve as a bondservant; 
But as a hired servant and as a sojourner they shall be with thee and shall serve thee unto the year of jubilee; 
And then shall they depart from thee, both they and their children with them, and shall return unto their own family; and unto the possession of their fathers shall they return. 
For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as bondservants. 
Thou shalt not rule over them with rigor, but shalt fear thy Elohim; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Both thy bondmen and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the nations that are round about you; of them shall thou might buy bondmen and bondmaids. 
Moreover, of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them thou might purchase, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land; and they shall be as your brethren of Israel, thou shall not rule one over another with rigor. 
And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor and sell themselves unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family, 
After that they are sold, they may be redeemed again; one of their brethren may redeem them; 
Either their uncle or the son of their uncle may redeem them; or any that is nigh of kin unto the of their family may redeem them; or if they be able, they may redeem themselves. 
And they shall reckon with them that bought them, from the year that they were sold to them unto the year of Jubilee; and the price of their sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of a hired servant shall it be with him; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
If there be yet many years behind, according unto them, they shall give again the price of their redemption out of the money that they were bought for. 
And if there remain but few years unto the year of Jubilee, then they shall count with them; and according unto their years shall they give them again the price of their redemption. 
And as a yearly hired servant shall they be with them; and the other shall not rule with rigor over them in thy sight. 
And if they be redeemed not in these years, then they shall go out in the year of Jubilee, both they and their children with them. 
For unto me, my children, Israel, are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

Chapter 19

The Levites

Thou shall take the Levites from among my children, Israel, and cleanse them; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
And thus shalt thou do unto the males among them to cleanse them: Bathe them in water to the purifying of them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean. 
And then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even with fine flour, mingled with oil; and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering. 
And thou shalt bring the sons of the Levites before the Tabernacle of the Congregation; and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of Israel together. 
And thou shalt bring the sons of the Levites before me, YHVH; and the men of the Elders of Israel shall put their hands upon the heads of the Levites; 
And Aaron shall offer the Levites before me for an offering of my Israel, that they may execute their service unto me; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And the sons of the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks; and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering and the other for an offering unto me to make an atonement for the Levites. 
And thou shalt set the sons of the Levites before Aaron and before his sons and offer them for an offering unto me; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And thus shalt thou do unto the females among them to cleanse them: Bathe them in water to the purifying of them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes and so make themselves clean. 
Then let the sons of the Levites take a young bullock with her meat offering, even fine flour, mingled with oil; and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering. 
And thou shalt bring the daughters of the Levites before the Tabernacle of the Congregation; and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of Israel together. 
And thou shalt bring the daughters of the Levites before me, YHVH; and the women of the Elders of Israel shall put their hands upon the daughters of the Levites; 
And Miriam shall offer the daughters of the Levites before me for an offering of my Israel, that they may execute in my service; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
And the daughters of the Levites shall learn to read the night skies, and they shall learn the letters that they should know; 
¶ And thou shalt set the daughters of the Levites before Miriam and offer them for an offering unto me; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among Israel; and the Levites shall be mine; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And after that shall the sons of the Levites go in to do the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation; and thou shalt cleanse them and offer them for an offering, 
For they are wholly given unto me from among Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all Israel, have I taken them unto me. 
For all the firstborn of Israel are mine, both human and beast; on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself. 
And I have taken the Levites, the males and the females, for all the firstborn of Israel. 
And I have given the sons of the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among Israel, 
To do the service of Israel in the Tabernacle of the Congregation and to make an atonement for Israel; that there be no plague among Israel when Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary. 
And I have given the daughters of the Levites as a gift to Miriam from among Israel, to do the service of Israel in the Tabernacle of the Congregation and to read the skies, and divine the letters; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

Chapter 20

A Holy People

Thou shall be holy unto thy Elohim and not profane the name of thy Elohim; for the offerings unto me are made by fire, and the bread of thy Elohim doeth thou offer; therefore, they shall be holy, I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
And my Priests shall not take a wife that is profane or that followeth after foreign elohim; neither shall they take a woman away from her husband; for he is holy unto his Elohim. 
And my Priestess shall not take for a husband one that commiteth adultery with foreign gods; neither shall she take a husband away from his wife, for she is holy unto her Elohim. 
Thou shalt sanctify my Priests and my Priestesses, therefore; for he offereth the bread and wine of thy Elohim, and she readeth the words Ha’Elohim hath written upon the skys; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
And the daughter of any Priest or Priestess, if she profane herself with adultery to other elohim, she profaneth her mother and her father; she shall repenth with a burning fire in teshuvah. 
These shall be holy unto thee; for I, YHVH, which sanctify you, am holy; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And he that is the High Priest among his brethren, and she that is the High Priestess among her sistren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not rend their clothes; neither shall they defile themselves; 
Neither shall they go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of their Elohim; for the crown of the anointing oil of their Elohim is upon them; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
Neither shall they profane their seed among their people; for I, YHVH, do sanctify them; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
And they are they that shall go in unto the veil, and come nigh unto the altar, because of this, therefore, see that they profane not my sanctuaries; for I, YHVH, do sanctify them. 
And it shall be that Israel shall bring pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually; 
And the lamps shall be kept without the Veil of the Testimony, in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, shall the High Priest order it from the evening unto the morning before YHVH continually; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

Chapter 21

The Torah of Sacrifice

Thou shalt offer upon the altar of YHVH, thy Elohim, and before my Priests, sacrifices for thy offerings; for meat offerings and grain offerings, and for peace offerings, and for sin offerings; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
Thy offerings shall be of the firstlings of thy flocks, and of the choice of thy fields, and of the chief of all holy things. 
Of thy flock shalt thou offer the firstling of male or female, without deformity or blemish, of such as divide the hoof and chew the cud; and of fowls, shalt thou offer all singing birds; 
And these shall be holy unto the me, YHVH thy Elohim, and shall be offered upon the altar; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
And of the choice of thy fields, that which is good for food without change or addition, and whatsoever is used for bread for mankind, that is holy unto me, YHVH, thy Elohim; 
And it shall be offered unto me as an offering, and lifted up to the Priest; but it shall not be offered on the altar. 
And whatsoever other thing thou shall offer, it shall be accompanied with one of these, and thus thy gift shall be sanctified; 
But if it be not accompanied with one of these, thou shalt redeem it at the valuation of the Priest, and it and the price thereof shall be mine; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And when thou shall come into the land which I give unto you and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest unto the Priest; 
And he shall wave the sheaf before me, to be accepted for thee; on the day after the Sabbath the Priest shall wave it. 
And thou shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf a he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto me: 
And the meat offering thereof shall be of fine flour, mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto me for a sweet savor; 
And the drink offering thereof shall be of wine for your drink offerings and your libations; 
And thou shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears until the selfsame day that thou have brought an offering unto thy Elohim; 
And this shall be a statute forever throughout all of your generations in all your dwellings; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And if thou offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto me, YHVH thy Elohim, thou shalt offer it at thy own will. 
And it shall be eaten the same day thou offer it, and on the morrow; and if anything remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire; 
And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted; 
Therefore, everyone that eateth it shall bear this iniquity because they hath profaned the hallowed thing of YHVH; and that soul shall be cut off from among this people; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And when thou shall come into the land and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised; for three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you; it shall not be eaten; 
But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise me with thy sacrifices. 
And in the fifth year shall thou eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof; 
Therefore, thou shall observe all my statutes, and all my customs, and do them until the Torah of Sacrifice be fulfilled; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And when the Torah of Sacrifice should be fulfilled, thou shalt remember the Torah of Sacrifice with the bread of knowledge to eat and the wine of wisdom to drink, this that thou shall gain understanding and shall not be confounded. 
Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits and of thy liquors; the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me. 
Likewise, shalt thou do with thine oxen and with thy sheep; seven days it shall be with his mother; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me. 
And thou shall be a holy people unto me; neither shall thou eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; thou shall cast it to the dogs; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And these are the statutes, and ordinances, and the Torah which I, YHVH make between me and my children, Israel, in the Mount of Ha'Elohim by the hand of Moses and Zipporah.

Chapter 22

The Love of YHVH

I am YHVH, thy Elohim, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, to be thy Elohim; behold, I send my angel before thee to keep thee in the way and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared; 
Beware of him and obey his voice; provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions, for HaShem is in him. 
But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies and an adversary unto thine adversaries; 
For mine angel shall go before thee and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I will cut them off. 
There shall nothing cast their young nor be barren in thy land; the number of thy days I will fulfill; 
I will send my fear before thee, and I will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come; and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee; 
And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before thee. 
I will not drive them out from before thee in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beast of the field multiply against thee; 
By little and little I will drive them out from before thee until thou be increased and inherit the land. 
And I will set thy bounds from the Red Sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and thou shalt drive them out before thee. 
¶ And thou shalt make no covenant with the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite nor with their elohim; 
They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me; for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee. 
And thou shalt not seek not after thy own heart nor thy own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring after the gods of the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 
Thou shalt wear tzitzits in the four corners of thy garments throughout all your generations, that thou shalt look upon it and remember all thy mitzvoth and be holy unto thy Elohim; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

Chapter 23

The Soul That Sins

Chapters 23 - 29 collectively are The Torah of the Tabernacle -or- The Torah of the Sacrifice

And Moses and Zipporah spoke unto the congregation of Israel from out of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, saying: If a soul should sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness, whether they hath seen or known of it, if they do not utter it, then they shall bear their iniquity. 
Or if a soul toucheth any unclean thing, whether it be a carcass of an unclean beast, or a carcass of unclean cattle, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden from them, they also shall be unclean. 
Or, if they should touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be that a person shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from them, when they knoweth of it, then they shall be guilty. 
Or if a soul swear, saying with their lips to do evil or to do good, whatsoever it be that someone shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from them, when they knoweth of it, then they shall be guilty in one of these. 
And it shall be that when they shall be guilty in one of these things, that they shall confess that they hath sinned in that thing; 
And they shall bring their trespass offering unto YHVH for their sin which they hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb, or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the Priest shall make an atonement for them concerning their sin. 
And if they are not able to bring a lamb, then they shall bring for their trespass, which they hath committed, two turtledoves or two young pigeons unto YHVH; one for a sin offering and the other for an offering. 
And they shall bring them unto the Priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not divide it asunder; 
And the Priest shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar; it is a sin offering. 
And they shall offer the second for a meat offering, according to the manner; and the Priest shall make an atonement for them for their sin which they hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven them. 
But if they be not able to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, then they that sinned shall bring for their offering some fine flour for a sin offering; 
And they shall put no oil upon it; neither shall they put any frankincense thereon, for it is a sin offering.

Chapter 24

All Sin in Ignorance

If a soul commit a trespass and sin through ignorance in the holy things of YHVH, then they shall bring for their trespass unto YHVH a ram without blemish out of the flocks for a trespass offering; 
And they shall make amends for the harm that they hath done in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the Priest; 
And the Priest shall make an atonement for them with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven them. 
And if a soul sin and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the mitzvoth of YHVH, though they new it not, yet are they guilty and shall bear their iniquity. 
And they shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering unto the Priest; 
And the Priest shall make an atonement for them concerning their ignorance wherein they erred and wist it not, and it shall be forgiven them. 
It is a sin offering; and all hath certainly trespassed against YHVH.

Chapter 25

The Sin Offering

If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against YHVH, and lie unto their neighbor in that which was delivered them to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived their neighbor, or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely, and sin therein, 
Then it shall be, because they hath sinned and are guilty, that they shall restore that which they took violently away, or the thing which they hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered them to keep, or the lost thing which they found, 
Or all that about which they hath sworn falsely, they shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto them to whom it appertaineth in the day of their sin offering. 
And they shall bring their sin offering unto YHVH, a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering unto the Priest; 
And the Priest shall make an atonement for them before YHVH; and it shall be forgiven them for anything of all that they hath done in trespassing therein. 
And if a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the mitzvoth of YHVH concerning things which ought not to be done and shall do against any of them, 
If the Priest or a Priestess that is anointed commits a sin, according to the sin of the people, then let them bring for their sin, which they hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto YHVH for a sin offering. 
And they shall bring the bullock unto the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before YHVH, and shall lay their hand upon the head of the bullock and look into the face of it, and kill the bullock before YHVH. 
And the Priest that is anointed shall take of the blood of the bullock and bring it to the Tabernacle of the Congregation; 
And the Priest shall dip his finger in the blood of it and sprinkle of the blood seven times before YHVH before the veil of the sanctuary. 
And the Priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before YHVH, which is in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. 
And the Priest shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering, burning up the fat that covereth the inwards and all the fat that is upon the inwards. 
And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the lobe above the liver, with the kidneys, these shall be removed. 
And the skin of the bullock, with his head, and his inwards, and his dung, even all the parts that cannot be eaten, shall the Priests carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where burnt up and the ashes poured out; and burn him on the wood with fire; where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt. 
¶ And if it should be that the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the thing be hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat against any of the mitzvoth of YHVH concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty, 
When the sin which they have sinned against it is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation. 
And the men of the Elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before YHVH; and the bullock shall be killed before YHVH. 
And the Priest that is anointed shall bring of the blood of the bullock to the Tabernacle of the Congregation; 
And the Priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood and sprinkle it seven times before YHVH, even before the veil. 
And the Priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before YHVH, that is in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. 
And the Priests shall take all his fat from him and burn it upon the altar. 
And the Priests shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin offering; so shall they do with this; and the Priests shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them. 
And they shall carry forth the parts of the bullock that cannot be eaten without the camp and burn him as he burned the first bullock; it is a sin offering for the congregation. 
¶ And when a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against any of the mitzvoth of YHVH, their Elohim, concerning things which should not be done, and is guilty, 
Or if their sin, wherein they hath sinned, come to their knowledge, they shall bring their offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish; 
And they shall lay their hand upon the head of the goat and look into the eyes of it, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before YHVH; for it is a sin offering. 
And the Priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering. 
And the Priest shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the Priest shall make an atonement for them as concerning their sin, and it shall be forgiven them. 
¶ And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while they doeth somewhat against any of the mitzvoth of YHVH concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty, 
Or if their sin, which they hath sinned, come to their knowledge, then they shall bring their offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for their sin which they hath sinned. 
And they shall lay their hand upon the head of the sin offering and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering. 
And the Priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar. 
And the Priest shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; 
And the Priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savor unto YHVH; and the Priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them. 
¶ And in all these, the sin offerings, the remnant of the meat offering shall be for Aaron and his sons, and for Miriam and her daughters; it is a thing most holy of the offerings of YHVH made by fire. 
And when these have had their fill, the poor among you shall be fed; and when these have had their fill, give unto wants of those among you; 
For this is a thing most holy of the offerings of YHVH made by fire, and YHVH doth not relish in the bloodshed of His creation; 
Therefore, waste not that the blood of the sacrifice shall not cry up from the ground unto YHVH, thy Elohim; but that YHVH receive the sweet savor of thy sacrifice.

Chapter 26

Offerings of the Herd

If anyone of you bring an offering unto YHVH, ye shall bring your offering, be it of goats or sheep, from the herd or of the flock. 
And if their offering be a sacrifice of the herd, let them offer a male without blemish; and they shall offer it of their own will, voluntarily, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before YHVH. 
And they shall put their hand upon the head of the burnt offering and look into the face of it; and it shall be accepted to make atonement for them. 
¶ And the bullock shall be killed before YHVH; and the Priests shall bring the blood and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 
And the Priest shall put fire upon the altar and lay the wood in order upon the fire; 
And the Priests shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar; 
But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water; and the Priest shall roast all on the altar, to be a sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto YHVH. 
¶ And the beast shall be killed on the side of the altar Northward before YHVH; 
And the Priests shall cut it into his pieces with his head and his fat; and the Priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar. 
And when any will offer a meat offering unto YHVH, this offering shall be of fine flour; and they shall pour oil upon it and put frankincense thereon. 
¶ And the Priests shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the Priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto YHVH; 
And none of the edible meat shall be wasted, but should be eaten by the Priests and the Priestesses of the tabernacle; 
And when these have had their fill, the poor among you shall be fed; and when these have had their fill, give unto the wants of those among you; 
For this is a thing most holy of the offerings of YHVH made by fire, and YHVH doth not relish in the bloodshed of His creation; 
Therefore, waste not that the blood of the sacrifice shall not cry up from the ground unto YHVH, but that YHVH shall receive the sweet savor.

Chapter 27

Offerings of Foul

And if the sacrifice for an offering to YHVH be of fowls, then they shall bring their offering of turtledoves or of young pigeons. 
And the Priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar; 
And they shall pluck away his crop with his feathers and cast it beside the altar on the East part by the place of the ashes. 
And the Priest shall cleave it with the wings thereof but shall not divide it asunder; 
And the Priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire; it is a sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto YHVH. 
And thou shalt put oil upon it and lay frankincense thereon; for it is a meat offering. 
And the Priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; it is an offering made by fire unto YHVH. 
¶ And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. 
And if thy oblation be a meat offering baked in a pan, it shall be of fine, unleavened flour, mingled with oil. 
Thou shalt part it in pieces and pour oil thereon; it is a meat offering. 
And if thy oblation be a meat offering baked in the frying pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. 
And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto YHVH; and when it is presented unto the Priest, he shall bring it unto the altar. 
¶ And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy Elohim to be lacking from thy meat offering; with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt. 
And the remnant of the meat offering shall be for Aaron and his sons, and for Miriam and her daughters; it is a thing most holy of the offerings of YHVH made by fire. 
And when these have had their fill, the poor among you shall be fed; and when these have had their fill, give unto wants of those among you; 
For this is a thing most holy of the offerings of YHVH made by fire, and YHVH doth not relish in the bloodshed of His creation; 
Therefore, waste not that the blood of the sacrifice shall not cry up from the ground unto YHVH, but that He receive the sweet savor.

Chapter 28

The Peace Offering

And this is the Torah of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which ye shall offer unto YHVH: 
If the oblation be a sacrifice of Peace Offering, if they offer it of the herd, whether it be a male or female, goat or sheep, they shall offer it without blemish before YHVH. 
And they shall lay their hand upon the head of the offering, and look into the face of it, and kill it at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation; 
And the Priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about. 
And they shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering, an offering made by fire unto YHVH, burning up the fat that covereth the inwards and all the fat that is upon the inwards. 
¶ And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the lobe above the liver, with the kidneys, these shall be removed. 
And the Priests shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the fire; it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto YHVH. 
¶ And if their offering for a sacrifice of peace offering unto YHVH be of the flock, male or female, they shall offer it without blemish. 
And if they offer a lamb for their offering, be it goat or sheep, then shall they offer it freely and of their own will before YHVH. 
And if they offer it for a thanksgiving, then they shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried. 
Besides the cakes, they shall offer for their offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of their peace offerings. 
And of it they shall offer one out of the whole oblation for an offering unto YHVH; 
And it shall be given to the Priest that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings. 
¶ And the remnant of the meat offering shall be for Aaron and his sons, and for Miriam and her daughters; it is a thing most holy of the offerings of YHVH made by fire. 
And when these have had their fill, the poor among you shall be fed; and when these have had their fill, give unto wants of those among you; 
And the flesh of the sacrifice of their peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; they shall not leave any of it until the morning. 
But if the sacrifice of their offering be a vow or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that they offereth their sacrifice; and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten; 
For this is a thing most holy of the offerings of YHVH made by fire, and YHVH doth not relish in the bloodshed of His creation; 
Therefore, waste not that the blood of the sacrifice shall not cry up from the ground unto YHVH, but that He receive the sweet savor. 
But if there be none to eat of it, then the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire. 
And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of their peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted; neither shall it be imputed unto them that offereth it; it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.

Chapter 29

The Bread Offering

And the Priests shalt take fine flour and bake twelve cakes thereof; and thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before YHVH. 
And the Priests shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto YHVH. 
Every Sabbath the Priest shall set it in order before YHVH continually, being taken from Israel by an everlasting covenant. 
And it shall be given to the Priests and the Priestesses; and they shall eat it in the Holy Place; for it is most holy of the offerings made by fire by a perpetual statute. 
And it shall be that Israel shall bring pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually; so mote it be, Amen.

Chapter 30

The Chereb of Truth

Chapters 30 - 36 collectively are The Chereb of Moses -or- The Sword of Moses

And it came to pass that when Moses and Zipporah left Aaron upon the Mount of Ha’Elohim, the Voice was heard from the heavens, and YHVH spoke unto them, saying: 
A swift messenger shall go out unto Adam, and they who fulfill my Word will be my sons and my daughters, and will carry the chereb of truth which I give them, 
And this chereb is that my seers which have spoken from the foundation of the world, that thus will my Word be, 
And if anyone is desirous of using this chereb, by which the creation is revealed, and every miracle is performed, then speak to me, YHVH, thy Elohim. 
For in the beginning, in the name of Elohim Shaddai, four were appointed: 
Two were the angel of YHVH and Raphael who is Raziel from before the foundation of the world, 
And one was Zadkiel from the first day of creation, and one was Michael from the second day of creation. 
To these four are given the chereb by YHVH, the Creator; and they are appointed the Torah, and the urim and thummim, 
That by the Torah, and through these gazelem, Adam might see and be made to understand their role in the creation: preparing that which is below for that which is above, and bringing that which is above below that they are one. 
¶ And with these four are five others, holy and strong; and these are their names: 
And one is Ariel from the third day of creation, 
And two are Haniel from the fourth day of creation, and Moroni from the fifth day of creation, 
And one is Gabriel from the sixth day of creation, 
And one is Sandalphon who is Remiel from the seventh day of creation, even the Sabbath of YHVH. 
And these know and say: There is one more who YHVH hath set as the crown upon his head and that YHVH givieth the understanding of His heart, and he is Zaphkiel who is Metatron from before the foundation of the world; 
And unto these have been given power over everything that moveth upon the creation: 
Yea, over these rest YHVH and under them rests the creation, and YHVH is Lord over all. 
¶ And when mankind shall call upon YHVH, Ha’Elohim shall send out one of these or the malakim, one of the lords that stand under them, 
And they will not tarry in their homage toward YHVH, and will not withhold from giving authority to those who hold the chereb; 
For this is the instruction of YHVH unto them: Ye shall not refuse to obey Adam should they carry the chereb; therefore, honor Ha'Shem and not Adam, but thou shalt go unto them. 
¶ And these are the words I give to thee, my servants, Moses and Zipporah: If thou desireth the chereb, and to pass it down from generation to generation, then know that thou who desires it must first fast for three days from food and drink, except once in the evenings, 
And when thou shall eat, thou shall first wash thy hands in salt, eating only unleavened bread, and drinking only water for three days, and this shall be thy fast: 
On the first day that thou should fast, before thou liest down to retire, thou shall bathe once and then no more for the three days, and thy sleep shall be sweet. 
¶ And thou shalt pray in secret three times daily, saying: Blessed art thou YHVH, O Lord, our Elohim, 
Who opens the gates of the firmament, and givest light to the whole world and its inhabitants, with the multitude of Thy mercies, 
Who teachest Thy people, Israel, Thy Torah, and revealeth unto Israel the chereb; 
Grant me thy Torah that I, Thy servant, will be given authority over this chereb, that I shall be thy servant, 
That Thy will be done on earth and as it is in heaven; So mote it be, Amen. 
¶ Do this and by my Breath, which is upon thee, I will bring thee into my Presence, deliver to thee my Word, and my malakim will teach thee, and my wonders will manifest from thee, and My malakim will listen and serve thee, 
And thou shall be as a pupil to their master, and thy eyes will be illuminated, and thy heart will see and behold that which is hidden.

Chapter 31

Washing, Herbs, and Oils

And the angel of YHVH spoke unto Moses and Zipporah, saying: Thou shalt be washed, fully immersed in living water, be it by a running stream or with the mikveh; 
And this thou shall do to fulfill all righteousness; for except that thou born of the water, thou cannot enter into the Presence of Ha’Elohim; therefore ye shall shall wash with water that ye die not; 
And when thou cometh up out of the water, thou shall be clean and the Breath shall fall upon thee; 
And this thou shalt do that desire to be holy unto YHVH and walk in teshuvah before YHVH, thy Elohim, and to wear the mantel of righteousness. 
¶ Take unto thee a cup of olive oil, and thou shall place inside this pure myrrh, sweet cinnamon or cassia, and sweet cane; 
Thou shall put in equal parts cinnamon or cassia and sweet cane, and as much myrrh as both the cinnamon or cassia and sweet cane; 
And thou shalt make with it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment mixed after the art of the apothecary; it shall be a holy anointing oil; 
And this thou shall use to anoint all that shall be anointed unto YHVH, even all that thou shalt sanctify, they shall be most holy; 
Whatsoever shall be anointed by this oil shall be holy; this shall be used for a holy anointing oil unto YHVH throughout thy generations; 
But upon the flesh of mankind, it shall not be poured; neither shall thou make any other like it, after the composition of it; it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you. 
¶ Take unto thee sweet spices: nataph, and shecheleth, and chelbenah galbanum, and pure frankincense, each in equal measures; 
And with this, thou shalt make a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, seasoned with salt and holy; 
And thou shalt grind some of it into powder and as a testimony where thou would meet YHVH or His malakim; it shall be unto you most holy. 
And thou shall not make to eat of it, or to place upon mankind; it shall be unto thee holy for YHVH.

Chapter 32

The Mantel of Righteousness

Anyone brought before YHVH as a High Priest or a High Priestess, even as your father, Abraham and your mother Sarah, as ordained by Melchizedek, 
Having been approved of YHVH, they being ordained a High Priest and High Priestess after the order of the covenant which Ha’Elohim made with Enoch, 
And this being after the order of Yachad Yachid Echad, which order came not by Adam, nor the will of mankind, neither is it handed down by father nor mother, neither has it any beginning of days nor end of years, 
But it is of Ha’Elohim, given to mankind by Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh, delivered unto mankind by the voice of Ruach Elohim, according to His own will; 
And to these are given power by YHVH that they might obtain the rod and the holy garments, even as were your father, Adam, and your mother, Eve; and Adam and Eve were given thus by me, the angel of YHVH. 
¶ And lo; to make thy garments holy unto YHVH, that thou might use them for a protection, and to glorify the name of YHVH: 
Take thee a garment be it with or without sleeves, that shall fall down below the middle of thy calf, yet above thy feet, with the tzitzits upon the four corners, and thou shalt do these seven things: 
One, thou shalt place the symbols upon it: 
Lamed, the staff of Elohim upon the right breast; 
--- image --- 
Gimel, the motion upon the path of YHVH on the left breast; 
--- image --- 
Vav, the guidance of El Elyon upon the right about the knee; 
--- image --- 
Bet  the house of Ruach Elohim about the navel. 
--- image --- 
The letters/symbols on the plates of brass do not look like the Hebrew letters we know today, nor do they look exactly like the symbols on modern Latter-day Saint garments. Their meaning and our understanding of them comes per inspiration as a part of the translation method. 
Two, thou shall wear the garments or keep them with thee for seven days, and sleep with them on or by thy side for seven nights; 
Three, thou shall fast for these seven days, and not eat of any meat, nor anything that cometh from a living creature; neither meat, nor milk, nor eggs, nor fish, nor honey; but thou shall eat the meat of the plants. 
Four, thou shall bathe every night and touch nothing that is unclean; 
Five, thou shall keep thy thoughts pure, speaking love and kindness with all that cross thy path. 
Six, upon the evening of the seventh day, thou shalt go into the water; and after thou hath bathed, pray; 
And when thou shall pray unto YHVH, a light shall descend upon thee: and if the light is green then thou art impure and shall begin again, therefore bathe thyself and make ready thy sin offering. 
And if the light is blue then the peace of YHVH is upon thee, and thou are worthy, thy garments are holy; 
Therefore (seven), thou shalt get thee out of the water, and pray to YHVH in thanksgiving, and the next day make ready for the Priest the peace offering, giving alms to the poor, and food unto the hungered. 
And if the light is red, then this is the fire of YHVH, and thou art pure, and thy garment is holy; 
Therefore (seven), get thee out of the water, and pray to YHVH in thanksgiving, and the next day make ready for the Priest an offering of sacrifice giving alms to the poor, and food unto the hungered. 
But if any blood should touch thee, or any unpure or violent thoughts should enter thy mind, or should anything that is unclean touch thee, thou shalt offer a sin offering in the Tabernacle and begin again after the new moon should come; 
And if on the night of the seventh day no light should come, then get thee to the Priest and make ready thy sin offering, and wait one year before fasting again. 
And now, behold, if thy garment be holy, then shalt thou watch over it, and wear it well that it be not defiled. 
¶ And now, to set apart a rod or a sword, or a cup, or any other item unto YHVH and use it to create the miracle and to glorify the name of YHVH, thou shalt follow these seven steps: 
One: Thou shalt pray over it, asking YHVH to sanctify it, that it be holy. 
Two: thou shalt carry the rod, or sword, or cup, or any other item with thee for seven days, and sleep with it by thy side for seven nights; 
Three: thou shall fast for these seven days, and not eat of any meat, nor anything that cometh from a living thing, neither meat, nor milk, nor eggs, nor fish, nor honey; but thou shall eat the meat of the plants. 
Four: thou shall bathe every night and touch nothing that is unclean, washing thy hands in salt once in the morning, once at midday, and once in the evening; 
Five: thou shall keep thy thoughts pure, and speak lovingly with all that cross thy path; 
But if thou shall come upon the dead, or any blood should touch thee, or any impure or violent thoughts should enter thy mind, thou shalt offer a sin offering in the Tabernacle and begin anew after the new moon should come. 
Six: upon the evening of the seventh day, when thou shall pray unto YHVH, a light shall descend upon thee: 
And if the light is green then thou art impure and shall begin again, therefore bathe thyself and make ready thy sin offering. 
And if the light is blue then the peace of YHVH is upon thee, and thou are worthy; thy rod, or sword, or cup, or any other item is holy; 
Therefore (seven), pray to YHVH in thanksgiving, and the next day make ready for the Priest the peace offering. 
And if the light is red, then this is the fire of YHVH, and thou art pure; and thy rod, or sword, or cup, or any other item is holy; 
Therefore (seven), pray unto YHVH in thanksgiving, and the next day make ready for the Priest an offering of sacrifice. 
And if thou should hold up thy rod, then call upon the winds, or the rain, or the hail, and they shall come; and the sword shall be a fire to protect thee; and if thou should seek wisdom, thy cup shall show thee, even as thy father, Joseph. 
And if on the night of the seventh day no light should come, then get thee to the Priest and make ready thy sin offering, and wait one year before fasting again. 
And should an malak come to thee during thy fast, and the angel should ask thee for thy rod, or thy sword, or thy cup, or the idem thou should give unto YHVH, then thou shall set it at their feet, 
And if they tell thee that thy rod, or sword, or cup, or other item is holy before YHVH, then ask them if they might place it in thy hand, and if they try but cannot, then they are iyrin and thou shall begin again upon the next month; 
But if they say unto thee: Nay, but it is holy, therefore the will of YHVH shall be done, then the rod is holy, and if thou should hold up thy rod, then call upon the winds, or the rain, or the hail, and they shall come. 
And now, if thy rod, or sword, or cup, or other item be holy, then shalt thou watch over it, that it be not defiled. 
¶ And now, behold, to dedicate thy coat unto YHVH, that thou might use it for a protection, and to glorify the name of YHVH, 
One: thou shalt engrave the seal upon the inside of it; and in the middle of the seal put the letters, and around the seal thou shall write: YHVH, may this chereb do Thy services, and may the Lord of it approach!

Seal

Recreation of the seal on the plates of brass

Two: thou shall wear the cloak upon thee for seven days, and sleep in it or with it by thy side for seven nights. 
Three: thou shall fast for these seven days, and not eat of any meat, nor anything that cometh from a living thing, neither meat, nor milk, nor eggs, nor fish, nor honey; but thou shall eat the meat of the plants. 
Four: thou shall bathe every night and touch nothing that is unclean, but wash thy hands in salt three times a day; once in the morning, once in the midday, and once in the evening, before thou should bathe. 
Five: thou shall keep thy thoughts pure, and speak lovingly with all that cross thy path; 
But if any blood should touch thee, or any impure or violent thoughts should enter thy mind, thou shalt offer a sin offering in the Tabernacle and begin anew after the new moon should come. 
Six: upon the evening of the seventh day, thou shalt go into the waters, and after thou hath bathed, pray; when thou shall pray unto YHVH, lo! a light shall descend upon thee: 
And if the light is green then thou art impure and shall begin again, therefore bathe thyself and make ready thy sin offering. 
And if the light is blue then the peace of YHVH is upon thee, and thou are worthy, thy cloak is holy; 
Therefore (seven), get thee out of the water, and pray to YHVH in thanksgiving, and the next day make ready for the Priest the peace offering, giving alms to the poor, and food unto the hungered. 
And if the light is red, then this is the fire of YHVH, and thou art pure, and thy cloak is holy; 
Therefore (seven), get thee out of the water wherein thou hath bathed thyself, and pray to YHVH in thanksgiving, 
And the next day make ready for the Priest an offering of sacrifice giving alms to the poor, and food unto the hungered. 
¶ And if on the night of the seventh day no light should come, then get thee to the Priest and make ready thy sin offering, and wait one year before fasting again. 
And when thou should wear the holy cloak, thou shall be as smoke, as a window to see between this world and the heavens where Ha’Elohim dwelleth, for it shall be unto thee as a coat of light; 
And thou shall see that Michael, and Gabriel, and Raphael, and Ariel doth watch over thee; 
And these shall send the revealer and other malakim to teach thee, and to guide thee through; 
And thou shall see, and thou shall prophecy, for YHVH hath made thee holy; therefore, wear thy cloak well, that thou be not defiled.

Chapter 33

The Prophet and the Seer

When the prophet or the prophetess dance to hear the will of YHVH, and the will of Ha’Elohim, let the Priests or the Priestess praise YHVH in dance: 
Let them sing praises unto El Elyon with the timbrel and harp; let the praises of Ha’Elohim be in their mouths. 
And ye shall place the crown upon the heads of the prophets and the prophetess; let the young men make music, and a joyful noise, and the young women dance in their praise; 
Let the eyes of the Elders be bright, that they might see, and YHVH shall speak unto Israel by the mouths of the prophets and the prophetesses, that the will of YHVH Elohim should be made known. 
And the Breath shall direct the mouths of the prophets by the Word of YHVH, and shall opened the hearts of the prophetess, 
And this that they might speak the peace of YHVH as the hands of the young men move over the harp, and the strings speak, and the feet of the young women are made light, and the Voice of Ha’Elohim shall be found in their feet. 
And the Presence of God shall come upon the congregation, and Israel shall know Their words; therefore, the sign or the wonder wheresoever they speak, surely it shall come to pass; 
Therefore, Israel shall walk after YHVH, their Elohim, and fear El Elyon, and keep the Torah, and obey the Voice. 
¶ And the seer shall see, and the dreamer of dreams shall be given a dream; and should their words be true to the Covenant, then their signs and wonders should surely come to pass; 
And by this ye shall know that what they have spoken is from YHVH; therefore, ye shall follow what they shall speak, for they have spoken or the dream they have been given is by the Breath of Elohim. 
And unto the seer shall be given the gazelem, which shall shine forth in darkness unto light; and any who are instructed to look into the stone, the same is a seer; 
And the seer is greater than a prophet, for the seer can know of things which have passed and also of things which are to come, 
And secret things be made manifest, and hidden things shall come to light, and things which are not known shall be made known by them, even hidden things which could otherwise not be known. 
And the prophet and the prophetess and the seer shall bring forth out of darkness into light all the secret works and abominations when Israel should rebel; 
And all their signs and their wonders ye shall retain from this people, that they know them not, lest Israel should fall into darkness also and be destroyed.

Chapter 34

The Power of YHVH

When healing, arise early and make ready myrrh and frankincense to burn on coals while calling upon YHVH, that He might send healing, and pray there upon the sick, saying: 
YHVH, I beseech Thee that Thou will give me success in healing this one, who is the son or daughter of them. 
And when the Elders shall pray over the sick, placing olive oil upon their heads, and YHVH, in His mercy, will send Raphael to heal them. 
And if thou canst not travel to they that need healed, write thy prayer down and send it to them, and when they receive it, YHVH, in His mercy, will send Raphael to heal them. 
Do this and anyone for whom that should ask, whether thou do this in writing or by thy voice, they will be healed. 
And if this faileth, then purify thyself from all thy sins and bathe thy flesh first, and then seek the will of YHVH that thou should succeed, 
And if it is not the will of YHVH, and if YHVH had said, in His great wisdom, not to send Raphael, then they will not be healed, 
Then YHVH, in His mercy, shall send Mal’akh Ha’Mavet, and he shall take them, and this is the will of Ha’Elohim; and so must it be; Amen. 
¶ And should one of thy people be taken by a foreign spirit, or an unclean spirit, or by a familiar spirit, take thee a clean vessel of clay that has seen fire, and place within it oil and honey; 
Take thee a small rod, and bless it and sanctify it, and place it upon the forehead of they that are overcome, and speak unto them, saying: 
Come ye out! Come ye out by the strength of YHVH! Come ye, and be withdrawn; yea, come ye from out of this body, and get thee into this pot; in the name of YHVH shall ye do this; so mote it be, Amen. 
And when the spirit hath gotten up into that pot, it shall gurgle that thou should know; 
And then thou shall take it up from there and into the fields, and thou shall break the vessel in a place where there shall be no travelers, and thou shalt command that they should depart from among thy people; 
And then shall the spirits wonder the earth and no more bother thy peoples. 
¶ And should thy enemies come before thee, thou mayest send the angels of the wrath of Ha’Elohim against them, be they thy creditor, or thy enemy, or armies, or any that should desire to do thee harm; 
And these should they do, if it be the will of YHVH: punish them, or the sinking of their ships, or the breaking of their walls, or the damage to their business; 
Or to exile them, or to place a plague upon them or upon their households, or to bind them or to blind them, or to make them mute, or to make them lame, or to do anything that would grieve them; 
But know that if thou should do this and thou art worthy of the same then I shall put that thing back against thee. 
Take thee fresh water from the stream and pour them into seven pots that have never tasted a flame; set these before Ha’Elohim at the night, that the stars should watch over them; 
And upon the seventh night, thou shalt pour the water out, speaking the name of thy enemies, and break the pots, and scatter the shards to the East, and to the North, and to the West, and to the South; 
Then thou shall say: YHVH, by thy power, bind them, smite them that the light of Thy eyes shall not look upon them, 
Make their mouth stop, that mine enemy should not bind or harm me in any way, but that which they should wish upon me should be done unto them; 
Make their plans against me be in vain, that they should not trespass against me, but that their trespass should be taken and turned against them; 
And should they be worthy in their anger against me, and should they be more worthy than myself, then should their plannings come to pass, and all that I wish against them should be done unto me; So mote it be, Amen. 
Do this, and that harm which thou desirest against thy enemy should be done unto them; but should thou not say: all that I wish against them should be done unto me; then shall Ha’Elohim know thy vanities, and YHVH shall bring thee low, even seven fold. 
And should thou pray for plenty or for famine, for the rain to be plenty or sparse, or whether there will be locusts come and strife, or whether the sword should come or peace; 
Know, O man, that the will of YHVH shall be done in all things; therefore, seek first the will of Ha’Elohim, then doest thou this and it will be well for thee and for thy house. 
¶ Take thee a new vessel for drinking and fill it with oil mixed with the sweet smelling myrrh and thou comest out from the bridal chamber, throw it into the sun; 
Do this for three days in a row and thy season shall be fruitful; there shall be fruits plenty, and no locus shall come upon thee. 
¶ Take thee the sweat of thy brow, and the sweat of brow of thy wife, and put these into an unpolluted cup with an amount of fine oil, and write upon it your names when the shofar hath blown for the full moon, 
And bless it, giving it as a sacrifice unto YHVH; then shall thou bury it under thy doorstep and dig it up after the shofar hath been sounded for the next new moon; 
And when ye shall wear it, both the husband and the wife, your passion shall be remembered, and your flames shall grow bright and hot. 
¶ To call forth the malakim of YHVH that they might serve thee in wisdom in knowledge, bless a new vial filled with oil and honey, and call upon them by name, as a servant of YHVH; 
If the malak cometh not the first time, call again the next day, and this thou should do until the third day; 
And if the malak that thou doth call upon cometh not upon the third day, open the vial and see that the oil and honey hath become polluted, and the malak shall not come. 
And if the malak should come, then see that thou not be deceived, asking to embrace the malak, even as thou would a brother that hath returned home; 
And if the malak sayeth yea, then he be a deceiver and is not of YHVH and shall pass through thee, for this is the iyrin that fell in disgrace; 
And if the malak sayeth nay, then ask thy question; and when thou hath asked thy questions, pour out the vial and prostrate thyself upon the earth and praise YHVH that the malak should not take thee. 
¶ And should thou need to cross the waters on dry ground, or to tap the rock that water should spring fourth, then make thee an amulet, and upon it write: Chereb; 
And around Chereb thou shall write: YHVH, may this chereb do Thy services, and may the Lord of it approach! 
Then shall thou place thy rod that hath been blessed, or thy cloak that hath been blessed, and hold it over the water, and whatever thou shall command, so shall it do. 
¶ And to keep evil from thy home, take thee a bowl and write upon it the script, and place in by thy door and keep you clean water in it, and YHVH shall preserve thee from evil.

Chapter 35

The Law of Consecration

When man or woman shall consecrate themselves by a vow, even the vow of a Nazarite, to devote themselves unto YHVH, 
They shall be brought before the Priestess that she may read what Ha’Elohim hath written upon the night sky, that they should know the time of their dedication; 
And the days of their dedication shall not be less than that of thirty, nor shall they be more than thirty in years. 
And on the day of their consecration they shall bring two turtles or two young pigeons to the Priest, to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation; 
And the Priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for an offering and make an atonement for them, and they shall consecrate unto YHVH the days of their Naziriteship. 
¶ And during their time of consecration, they shall drink no vinegar made of wine nor vinegar of strong drink; neither shall they drink any juice of the grapes nor eat grapes at all, be they moist or dried; 
Yea, all the days of their consecration shall they eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk. 
¶ All the days of their vow of consecration there shall no razor come upon their head; 
Until the days be fulfilled in the which they consecrateth themselves unto YHVH, they shall be holy and shall let the locks of the hair of their head grow. 
¶ All the days that they consecrateth themselves unto YHVH, they shall avoid the presence of the dead; 
And they shall not make themselves unclean for their fathers, or for their mothers, for their brothers, or for their sisters when they should die, because they wear the qadash of their Elohim upon their heads. 
And all the days of their consecration, they are holy unto me, YHVH. 
And if anyone is to die very suddenly by them, and they hath defiled the head of their consecration, then they shall wash their bodies and their clothes in the day of their cleansing; on the seventh day shall they wash. 
And any Nazarite that sins by the dead shall hallow themselves in that same day, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering; 
And they shall return again unto the Priestess to know their time, and unto the Priest to renew their vows, for all the days that were before have surely been lost because their consecration was defiled. 
¶ And this is the Torah of the Nazarite: when the days of their consecration are fulfilled, they shall be brought unto the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation; 
And they shall offer their offering unto me: one he lamb of the first year without blemish for an offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for a peace offering, 
And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour, mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread, anointed with oil, and their meat offering, and their drink offering. 
And the Priest shall bring them before YHVH and shall offer their sin offering and their other offerings; 
And they shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offering unto me, YHVH, with the basket of unleavened bread; the Priest shall offer also their meat offering and their drink offering. 
¶ And the Nazarite shall shave the head of their qadash at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of their consecration, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offering. 
And the Priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite after the hair of their consecration is cut; 
And the Priest shall present them for an offering before YHVH; this is holy for the Priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder; and after that, the Nazarite may drink wine. 
And after this, they shall go to the Priestess, that she should read to them the fulfillment of their consecration, that their vow be fulfilled and that they know again their mitzvah. 
This is the Torah of the Nazarite who hath vowed and of their offering unto YHVH for their consecration, besides that that their hand shall get; according to the vow which they vowed, so they must do after the Torah of their consecration. So mote it be, Amen!

Chapter 36

The Chereb of Righteousness

And YHVH spoke again unto Moses and Zipporah, saying: Ye shall make this known to men and women who are righteous and pure and faithful, whose hearts are united, and in whose mouth is no deceit; 
They who lie not with their tongues, and who deceive not with their lips, who grasp not with their hands and are not lustful with their eyes; 
They who depart from uncleanliness, from defilement, keeping themselves holy, and doing all that I, YHVH, their Elohim, should instruct them. 
And tell them that they are not to defile themselves with the dead, nor are they to sleep on the places of the dead, that they not be defiled by sleeping spirits. 
¶ And Moses spoke unto Zipporah, his wife, saying: Who shall we find that possesses all these that I should go to them? 
And Moses asked in his heart, and thought that there could be no man or woman who would do all this that YHVH had asked; and this weighed heavy upon him. 
And Zipporah spoke unto Moses, saying: YHVH hath called thee to be His mighty right arm, and did give of us His glory and His crown, with an oath: 
O thou, mighty right arm of YHVH, he who hath been set apart to petition Ha’Elohim for this people, Israel; YHVH strengthened me and sent me as an helpmate to serve thee; 
And YHVH receiveth my prayers and my supplications, and He honoreth my songs and my libations do I poureth out unto Him, and my libations He doth receive; blessed be YHVH! 
For He rememberth my deeds before Him and has made to forgive my sins on account of my words of supplication, and through thy supplication He hath made to forgive Israel of her supplication; 
Therefore, why now would His servants sanctify Him not, and praise Him not? But they shall bring with them a sweet melody, and say: Holy, holy, holy is YHVH; the whole earth is full of His glory! 
Therefore, refuse Him not, but surely YHVH, the Lord of the Sabbath, shall provide thee with those that are Holy. 
¶ And then, speaking unto YHVH, Zipporah said: Blessed art thou, O YHVH, El Elyon, who knowest all! 
And then the Voice came unto Moses and Zipporah again, saying: If thou wishest to use the chereb, to call upon me, and rest upon my strength, and stand in my Presence, then write the Word that I shall give thee, 
And carry about with thee during the three days of fasting and purification, and fast even as I have shown thee, and pray even as I have told thee. 
Command the generations which will come after thee that at the beginning of their days, they shall pray, saying: Hear, O Israel, YHVH is our Elohim; YHVH is United! 
And this that my people should go about the day being one with me, and with my creation. 
And at the end of their days they shall pray, saying: Blessed art Thou, YHVH; Thou hath hearkened unto my prayer; blessed art Thou, giver of the endowment, who hearkenest unto my prayer. 
And thou are not to touch this chereb until after thou hath done all these things; afterwards thou shall be able to do all that is required of thee, everything being written here following in its proper order; Even so, Amen.

Chapter 37

The Testimony of Zipporah

Chapters 37 - 42 collectively are The Wisdom of Zipporah -or- The Teachings of Zipporah

And it came to pass that I walked with Moses upon the Mount of Ha’Elohim, and there we heard the words of the Angel of YHVH that came unto us, saying: Your crowns have been prepared; therefore, give unto YHVH your trust, for ye hath gained His patience. 
And Moses, in his humility, said: Lord, why should thou take us? who are we to make supplication with Ha’Elohim for thy son and thy daughter, Adam? 
And the angel of YHVH said: Make not any of thy supplication with me, but the will of Ha’Elohim shall be done. 
And Moses said: We will not cease to plead with YHVH, our Elohim. 
And the Voice said: Your crowns have been prepared you; therefore come forth that ye mayst obtain them. 
Then Moses said: O YHVH, O Elohim Shaddai ! O YHVH who birthed the Creation! Listen to me, we have pleaded much for thy children, Israel; 
And we will bring them thy Torah, that they should remember HaShem, that thou might give them a blessing from the heavens; 
For thou didst bless Joseph; and by Joseph his father, Jacob; and his brothers, and their wives, and their children; yea and even did YHVH save all of Israel from famine. 
And the Voice came unto us, saying: Moses, my beloved, all things whatever thou should ask shall I give to my Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that we were brought before YHVH, and we were given the Torah, that all of Israel might covenant to be one. 
And so it was that we were given the Torah of YHVH that Israel should be the covenant people, and be one with her Elohim. 
¶ And it came to pass that when we came down from the Mount and saw Israel, the very children of YHVH that we had pleaded for, and on behalf of, prostrate in adultery, Moses became enraged, and he threw down the tablets in disgust. 
But YHVH, in His mercy, called us back, and we pleaded once more on behalf of Israel, and YHVH granted our petition; 
And YHVH spoke unto us saying: Teach my Israel my Torah, that they be my covenant people; 
But because they be a stiffnecked people, it shall be that when they shall keep my mitzvath, they shall be blessed upon the face of this land, 
And there shall be none to molest them nor to take away from them the land of their inheritance; and they shall be a blessed people upon the promised land forever. 
And nothing, save it shall be iniquity among them, shall harm or disturb their prosperity upon the face of this land forever. 
But if iniquity shall abound, cursed shall be the land for their sakes; but unto the righteous, it shall be blessed forever; So mote it be, Amen.

Chapter 38

Tu Kesheh

And it came to pass that Zipporah and Miriam taught the daughters of Israel saying: 
The Sabbaths are known by the stars in the heavens, and by the moons; and these tell us the seasons and the secrets of Ha’Elohim; 
For YHVH has appointed the moon for seasons; and YHVH telleth the sun when to rise and when to set. 
And the Sons of Aaron shall be bound by the tabernacles and chained to the altars, and the Daughters of Miriam shall read words written upon the night skies; 
And in the day of our gladness, and in our solemn days, and in the beginnings of our months— at the new moons, the Priests shall blow the shofar, and give the offerings and the sacrifices of our peace offerings, 
And this they do for a memorial before our Elohim; YHVH, our Elohim; the Priests, they do cry out with their shofars, as Yod searching for Hei. 
And at the full moons the Priestess sing and dance in celebration of the return of the Shekinah to Her place, and the Presence of Elohim in the congregation of Israel; 
Therefore, it is the duty of the  Priestess to watch the moon and the stars, and to tell the signs and the seasons. 
¶ And YHVH did create both the day and the night, even as he created Adam, male and female; and the shemesh for the male, and the lebanah for the female. 
And on the first of the month, not one daughter in Israel shall do any spinning, nor weaving, nor sewing; for this shall be a Sabbath for you. 
And at the new moons, and at the full moons the High Priestess shall pour out her libations as a sacrifice unto YHVH; 
And in this the Presence of Elohim shall be remembered, and the congregation shall witness the Breath of Elohim. 
¶ And so it is that in the evening we raise our arms to YHVH and Ha’Elohim in the heavens and we pray: 
Hear O Israel! YHVH is our Elohim; YHVH is United. 
And this we do, because we are united even as the stars in the night sky. 
And we stand and we bow our faces in reverence in the morning, even as the sun rises, and we pray: 
Hear O Israel! YHVH is our Elohim; YHVH is One. 
And this we do because YHVH is the Light, and in Him there is no darkness; 
Even as Israel walked out of Egypt as one, it is the will of Ha’Elohim that Israel always be one; for in the unity of Israel is great power in YHVH; and the fear of YHVH will be known by His Israel. 
¶ And the unity of YHVH and His Israel is even as the bridegroom and the bride, 
And should Israel love YHVH, even as a wife should love her husband and commit no adultery, then shall YHVH be faithful unto His Israel forever and ever; 
And should Israel be unfaithful, then she shall be offered teshuvah, that she might return unto the covenant, and retain all her promises once more. Even so, Amen.

Chapter 39

The Reading of the Heavens

And the High Priestess is to teach the Priestess the readings of the firmament, and the expanse of the heavens; 
And within the firmament there are twelve rows and seven thrones, and the thrones are prepared there; 
And upon the thrones are seated the seven malakim of the seven dispensations, and around them on all sides of the encampments are in the expanse of the heavens. 
And stationed there are those obedient to YHVH, our Elohim, and to all those who stand and pour their libations to YHVH; 
When a prayer is heard, the encampment in the expanse of the heavens and the seven malakim hear, and they listen for YHVH to dispatch them to bless all those in the service of El Elyon. 
¶ These are the names of the seven malakim who sit upon the seven thrones: The first is Michael, and the second is Zaphkiel, and the third is Gabriel, and the fourth is Raphael, and the fifth is Haniel , and the sixth is Zadkiel , and the seventh is Ariel. 
And in all of them is the testimony of YHVH, created from fire; and their appearance is like flames, and their fire is blazing, for from the fire of YHVH did they emerge: 
And these and their servants never waver from their testimony of YHVH, nor do they doubt in their supplication in the works they are given of YHVH; 
For they are obedient to the will of YHVH and go about only with the permission of Ha’Elohim; for it is the works of YHVH that they do. 
¶ And every one of them goes to do the work they have been given, to fulfill their duties quickly wherever they might be sent; 
Whether to act for good or for evil in the eyes of Adam; whether for war or for peace, from the time of the creation unto the end of the creation. 
These are the angels who are obedient unto YHVH in all their doing. 
¶ And the first firmament is called the Shamayim of Erets and holds the seven thrones. 
And the second firmament is called the Shamayim of Shamayim and is the heaven of abstinence, and holds the twelve steps. 
And the third firmament is called the Shamayim of Otsaw and holds the three stones and is a pearl of fire. 
And the fourth firmament is called the Shamayim of Be’ammud Aysh and holds thirty-one windows and at the center holds the sun of which the earth orbits. 
And the fifth firmament is called the Shamayim of Gaboah and separates the heavens and the earth, holding the twelve malakim that are the stars that shall judge the sons and daughters of mankind. 
And the sixth firmament is called the Shamayim of Tzaddiq and holds the flame that rules over the twelve malakim. 
And the seventh firmament is called the Shamayim of Or and holds light, and all of the glory of YHVH; and this is the light that separates the darkness, and this is the highest of the Heavens.

Chapter 40

Libations: the Drink Offering

And say unto the Priestesses, the daughters of Miriam: In the Holy Place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto YHVH for a drink offering. 
Ye shall offer at the evening; yea, the Priests shall prepare the meat offering in the morning and the Priestess the drink offering thereof in the evening; 
The Priestess shall offer it, and it shall be a sweet savor unto YHVH. 
And on the Sabbath day, the drink offering shall be given beside the continual burnt offering. 
¶ And in the beginnings of your months when the Sons of Aaron shall offer a meat offering unto YHVH of a sweet savor, as a sacrifice made by fire unto YHVH, the Priestess shall offer up the drink offerings; 
Half for a bullock, and the third part for a ram, and a fourth part for a lamb; and this ye shall do as an offering of every month throughout the months of the year. 
And in the fifteenth day of each month is the full moon; and in the first month, for seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten. 
But for the full moon of each month after the first month, the Presence of God shall be remembered, and strong drink shall be poured out in your groves. 
¶ And in thy homes, at Tu Kesheh, should thy husband desire to lie with thee, that ye should be one, keep the strength of thy passions, that it might be used to destroy familiar spirits, and to stop thy adversaries, and to free one from mortal burdens, to pass through water upon dry ground, or any other thing: 
Write on a red bowl thy desires and fill it with water and myrrh and let it stand for three days, 
And on the third day that after thou hast lain with thy husband, when thou riseth, wash thy hands and say the prayer of thy desire; so mote it be, Amen. 
Then shalt thou pour out thy libation upon the ground, and YHVH that doth hear thy prayers shall grant thee thy petition; 
But should the water sour, or should it be drunk at all during this time, behold thy petition shall neither be heard nor remembered by YHVH, for it is in vain.

Chapter 41

The Torah of the Apothecary

Take thee the stones of the earth, and the herbs of the earth, and of the deep; and bless them, and sanctify them, and use them for the purpose of their creation, and in the name of YHVH, giving the glory of it to YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Odem is a builder; she is given for a help for women in menstruation, and to aid for the prevention of miscarriage, and for awakening the heart, and for awakening other stones that sleepeth.

¶ And take thou some shecheleth and burn her upon your altars that her sweet scent might bring healing. 
And of ahalim, take of her blood to use for healing; yea, in Egypt they use her for the dead, but I say unto thee, she is health for the living.

Chapter 42

Calling upon the Heavens

And if thou should desire to call upon YHVH that the Malokim and the stars should share with thee their secrets, 
Yea, if thou desireth to speak with the moon or with the stars, take thee a cock for to slaughter and roast him over a fire with fine oils; 
And take thee fine flour, and knead the flour with the living waters and make thee three cakes; 
And place these upon an altar of wood with a cup of wine made from grapes, facing the moon and the stars on a clear night, and call upon YHVH, saying: 
YHVH, pour out upon me thy wisdom, that I should know thy will in these things; So mote it be, Amen. 
Then shalt thou and any that are with thee eat and drink thereof; and when thou hath eaten thy full, and any that be with thee also, thou shall pour out thy libations upon the altar, and gaze up with the eyes of the seer, and thou shall know. 
And should the answers that thou seeketh not appear, thou shalt come to see on seventh nights, and ninth night, and twelfth night; 
But if thou seeth not upon the twelfth night, then Ha’Elohim hath no words for thee written upon the stars at that time; 
And thou shall wait until the feast of the next full moon, and if the Breath of Elohim should come upon thee, then thou shall see, as doeth the seer, and thou shall prophecy rightly. 
And if thou should not see, and thou should not prophecy, then the will of YHVH is not in this thing. 
¶ And should one of thy people dream a dream, and should desire the interpretation of that dream, let them come unto the Priestess. 
And thou shall give unto them the words of Ha’Elohim from thy wisdom, saying: I will make known to you what is in thy heart; 
And should thou need time to seek the Breath of Elohim, give them three days and tell them to return unto thee to make known to them that which is in their heart. 
Then thou shall fast from the eating of animal yea, and anything which yields blood, and the wine of the grape, be it young or old; 
Then shall thou go out to the shore, with the water being Eastward of thee, and being fully covered in thy raiment, and take thee myrrh and frankincense and place them on coals in an earthen vessel; 
Turning thy face toward the water, pray unto YHVH until thine eyes are open and thou seest the pillar of fire between the heavens and the earth, and then shall the vision be opened up unto thee, or thou shall read the answers in the stars. 
And if by the third day the vision hath not come, then the dream was but a thing, and a matter to be taken lightly, and YHVH, thy Elohim hath not spoken unto them. Amen.

Chapter 43

The Judgments of the Clean and the Unclean

Chapters 43 - 50 collectively are The Law of Moses -or- The Judgments of Moses

And it came to pass that Moses passed judgment on Israel saying: 
These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth: 
Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that shall ye eat; 
Nevertheless, ye shall not eat the camel because he is a servant unto thee, and bears thy burdens; thus ye shall not eat of it; 
And the swine, is unclean to you, for in his meat is sickness and death; therefore of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you. 
These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. 
And ye shall not eat the eagle, nor the peres, nor the rachamah, nor the vulture, nor the daah after his kind, nor raven after his kind, nor the owl; 
Not the nighthawk, nor the cuckoo, nor the hawk after his kind, nor the little owl, nor the cormorant and the great owl, nor the stork, nor the heron after her kind, and the dukiphath, nor the bat ye shall not eat: 
And these ye shall not eat, for these are scavengers or eat that which would plague thee, thus ye shall keep them alive. 
¶ And these may ye eat of: Every flying, creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth; 
Even these of them ye may eat: The locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind. 
¶ And if ye should eat of that which is unclean, ye shall be unclean and shall quarantine for thirty days; but whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening, but shall cover the mouth that Israel may know they are unclean; 
And whosoever beareth aught of the carcass of them shall wash their clothes and be unclean until the evening. 
¶ The carcasses of every beast ye shall deplore; and they that beareth the carcass of the beast shall wash their clothes and be unclean for three days, until the even; they are unclean unto you. 
¶ And upon whatsoever anything doth fall when they are dead, it shall be unclean, whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, or earthen vessel; whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done; 
And the vessel must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it shall be cleansed. 
All meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean. 
And everything whereupon any part of their carcass falleth shall be unclean; whether it be an oven or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down; for they are unclean and shall be unclean unto you. 
Nevertheless, a fountain or pit wherein there is plenty of flowing water shall be clean; but that which toucheth their carcass shall be unclean. 
¶ And if any part of their carcass falls upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean. 
But if any water be put upon the seed and any part of their carcass fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you. 
And if any beast of which ye may eat die, they that toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the evening. 
¶ And this shall be the Torah of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth— 
To keep the unclean from the clean, that Israel should avoid the plagues of Ha’Elohim.

Chapter 44

The Judgments on Servants, Masters and Marriages

And it came to pass that Moses passed judgment on Israel saying: 
If thou buy a Hebrew servant (for Israel shall have no slaves, YHVH hath not freed us to put our kin into bondage), six years they shall serve; and in the seventh they shall go out free for nothing. 
And if they came in by themselves, then they shall go out by themselves; if they be married, then the spouse of them shall go out with them. 
If the lord hath given them a spouse, and these have borne sons or daughters, then they and all their children shall go out together. 
And if the servant shall say plainly: I love my master; my spouse and our children, we shall not go out free, then the master shall bring them unto the judges; 
And the judges shall set their wages, that they be fair and generous; and they shall serve their lord for so long as their wages be met. 
¶ And if a man should sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do, that she not be forced to prostitute herself. 
If she please not her master, who hath promised to keep her to himself, then shall he let her be given to another: 
But ye shall not sell her into a strange nation; no one shall have no power to do this, seeing they hath dealt deceitfully with her, that she not be cast out of the Covenant. 
And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters. 
And if a man should take her unto himself to wife, and he take him another wife, her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage shall he not diminish. 
And if she refuseth these three unto her, then shall she go out free with a dowry. 
¶ If a man entice a young woman that is not betrothed and lie with her, but doth not force himself upon her, then he shall surely endow her to be his wife. 
If her father utterly refuseth to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins. 
¶ If a man takest a wife, thou shalt take such a one as thou lovest, and who loveth thee, and whom thou mayest lawfully marry and thou shalt go before the High Priest, or the Chief Elder where thou dwellest, or the Priest; 
And by him shall ye be joined in marriage, that these may be one in life, and in life everlasting; and that the fruit of thy loins might be with thee everlasting; and ye shall be united; and ye shall give one another thy honor. 
¶ If the wife of any man should go aside and commit a trespass against him, and a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witnesses against her, neither she be taken with the manner, 
And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be with child, or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not with child, 
Then shall the man bring his wife unto the Priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, a part of barley meal; and the Priest shall pour no oil upon it nor put frankincense thereon, for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance. 
And the Priest shall bring her unto the Priestess and set the wife before YHVH; 
And the Priestess shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the Priestess shall take and put it into the water; 
And the Priestess shall set the wife before YHVH, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering; and the Priestess shall have in her hand the bitter water that causeth the curse. 
And the Priestess shall charge her by an oath and say unto the wife: If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse; 
But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband, 
YHVH make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when YHVH doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell; 
And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell and thy thigh to rot. 
And the wife shall say: So Mote it Be; Amen. 
And the Priestess shall write these curses in a book, and she shall blot them out with the bitter water; 
And she shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse; and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter. 
Then the Priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before YHVH, and offer it upon the altar; 
And the Priestess shall take a handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water. 
And when the Priestess hath made the wife to drink the water, then it shall come to pass that if she be defiled and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot; and the woman shall be a curse among her people. 
And if the wife be not defiled but be clean, then she shall be free and shall conceive seed. 
And if another man has lain with her, then that man shall be found dead in his bed the next morning; and this shall be a sign unto you of his sin. 
This is the Torah of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband and is defiled, 
Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife and shall set the woman before YHVH, and the Priestess of Miriam shall execute upon her all this law. 
And if the curse should not be found in the wife, and she be innocent, then the husband shall be guilty; 
And he shall offer up a sacrifice a sin offering unto YHVH by way of the Priest, and he shall ask his wife for forgiveness for his trespass against her.

Chapter 45

The Judgments on Death, Murder, and Other Mischief

Thou shalt not suffer a murderer to live: 
They that smiteth a man or a woman, so that they die shall be surely put to death. 
And if one lie not in wait, but Ha’Elohim deliver them into their hand (or if it was an accident), then the Judge will appoint thee a place whither they shall flee. 
But if a man or a woman comes presumptuously upon their neighbor to slay them with guile, thou shalt take them away from mine altar, that they may die. 
¶ And a man or a woman that smiteth their father or their mother shall be surely put to death. 
And a man or a woman that brings an evil curse upon their father or their mother, that they be taken early shall surely be put to death. 
¶ If a man or a woman should strive and hurt a woman with child so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow, they shall be surely punished, according as the husband of the woman will lay upon them; and they shall pay as the judges determine. 
But if any mischief follow, and the woman should die, then ye shalt give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. 
¶ And a man or a woman that stealeth another and selleth them into slavery, or if they be found in their hand, they shall surely be put to death. 
¶ And if any should strive together and one smite another with a stone or with their fists and they die not, but keepeth their bed, 
If they rise again and walk abroad upon their staff, then shall they that smote them be quit; only they shall pay for the loss of their time and shall cause them to be thoroughly healed. 
¶ And if a man or a woman should smite their servant or their maid with a rod and they die under their hand, they shall surely be put to death. 
Notwithstanding, if they continue a day or two and recover, they shall not be put to death, for they are the servant, but their wages shall be paid as though they were fit in their duties. 
And if a man or a woman smite the eye of their servant or the eye of their maid, that it perish, they shall let them go free with their wages for the sake of the eye. 
And if a man or a woman smite out their servant's tooth, they shall let them go free with their wages for the tooth's sake. 
¶ If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die, then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall not be accountable. 
But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to the owner of it, and they hath not kept the ox in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and the owner also shall be put to death. 
If there be laid on the owner of the ox a sum of money, then they shall give for the ransom of their life whatsoever is laid upon them. 
Whether the ox gored a son or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done. 
¶ And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein, then the owner of the pit shall make it good and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be theirs. 
And if an ox hurt another ox, that he die, then they shall sell the live ox and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide; 
Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in, he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own. 
¶ If a man or a woman shall steal an ox or a sheep and kill it or sell it, they shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep. 
If fire should break out and catch in thorns so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field be consumed therewith, they that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.

Chapter 46

The Judgments on Theft

If a thief be found breaking in and be smitten that they die, there shall no blood be shed for them. 
If the sun be risen upon them, there shall be blood shed for them, for they should make full restitution; if they have nothing, then they shall be sold for their theft: 
If the theft be certainly found in their hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep, they shall restore double. 
¶ If a man or a woman shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in their beast, and shall feed in the field of another, of the best of their own field and of the best of their own vineyard shall they make restitution. 
¶ If a man or a woman shall deliver unto their neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the house of them, if the thief be found, let the thief pay double. 
If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges, to see whether they have put their hand unto the goods of their neighbor. 
For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing which another challengeth to be theirs, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, they shall pay double unto their neighbor. 
¶ If a man or a woman deliver unto their neighbor an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast to keep, and it die, or be hurt, or be driven away, no man seeing it, 
Then shall an oath of YHVH be between them both, that they hath not put their hand unto the good of their neighbor; and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and they shall not make it good. 
And if it be stolen from them, they shall make restitution unto the owner thereof. 
If it be torn in pieces, then let them bring it for witness; and they shall not make good that which was torn. 
¶ And if a man or a woman should borrow anything of their neighbor, and it be hurt or die, the owner thereof being not with it, they shall surely make it good. 
But if the owner thereof be with it, they shall not make it good; if it be a hired thing, it came for his hire. 
¶ When a man or woman shall commit any sin that they might commit, thy trespass against YHVH, and that person be guilty, 
Then shall they confess their sin which they have done; and they shall recompense their trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto them against whom they hath trespassed. 
But if they who were trespassed against have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto YHVH, even to the Priestess their recompense, to place it beside the ram of the atonement made by the Priest, whereby an atonement shall be made for them. 
And every offering of all the holy things of Israel which they bring unto the Priestess shall be hers; 
And every hallowed thing whatsoever anyone giveth the Priestess, it shall be hers.

Chapter 47

The Judgment of the Plague of Tzara’at

If anyone should have in the skin of their flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of their flesh like the plague of tzara’at, then they shall be brought unto the Priest or the Priestess; 
When the plague is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the Priest; and when the plague is in a woman, then she shall be brought unto the Priestess; 
And the Priest or Priestess shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh; and when the hair in the plague is turned white and the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of their flesh, it is a plague of tzara’at; and the Priest or Priestess shall look on them and pronounce them unclean. 
If the bright spot be white in the skin of their flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white, then the Priest or Priestess shall shut them up in quarantine thy that hath the plague seven days; 
And the Priest or Priestess shall look on them the seventh day; and behold, if the plague in their sight be at a stay and the plague hath spread not in the skin, then the Priest or Priestess shall shut them up seven days more; 
And the Priest or Priestess shall look on them again the seventh day; and behold, if the plague be somewhat dark and the plague spread not in the skin, the Priest or Priestess shall pronounce them clean; it is but a rash or a scab or a boil; and they shall wash their clothes and be clean. 
But if the rash spread much abroad in the skin after they hath been seen of the Priest or Priestess for their cleansing, they shall be seen of the Priest or Priestess again; 
And if the Priest or Priestess see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the Priest or Priestess shall pronounce them unclean; it is tzara’at. 
When the plague of tzara’at is in someone, then they shall be brought unto the High Priest or High Priestess; 
And the High Priest or High Priestess shall see them; and behold, if the rising be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick, raw flesh in the rising, it is a chronic disease in the skin of their flesh; 
And the High Priest or High Priestess shall pronounce them unclean and shall not shut them up; for they are unclean. 
¶ And if a tzara’at break out abroad in the skin and the tzara’at cover all the skin of they that hath the plague, from their head even to their foot, wheresoever the High Priest or High Priestess looketh, 
Then the High Priest or High Priestess shall consider; and behold, if the tzara’at have covered all their flesh, they shall pronounce them clean that hath the plague; it is all turned white; they are clean. 
But when raw flesh appeareth in them, they shall be unclean: 
And the Priest or Priestess shall see the raw flesh and pronounce them to be unclean; for the raw flesh is unclean; it is tzara’at. 
Or if the raw flesh turn again and be changed unto white, they shall come unto the Priest or Priestess; 
And the Priest or Priestess shall see them; and behold, if the plague be turned into white, then the Priest or Priestess shall pronounce them clean that hath the plague; they are clean. 
The flesh also in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil and is healed, and in the place of the boil there be a white rising or a bright spot, white and somewhat reddish, and it be showed to the Priest or Priestess, 
And if, when the Priest or Priestess seeth it, behold, it be in sight lower than the skin and the hair thereof be turned white, the priest shall pronounce them unclean; it is a plague of tzara’at broken out of the boil. 
But if the Priest or Priestess look on it and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, but be somewhat dark, then the Priest or Priestess shall shut them up seven days; 
And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the Priest or Priestess shall pronounce them unclean; it is a plague. 
¶ If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard, then the Priest or Priestess shall see the plague; 
And behold, if it be in sight deeper than the skin and there be in it a yellow thin hair, then the Priest or Priestess shall pronounce them unclean; it is an outbreak, even tzara’at upon the head or beard. 
And if the Priest or Priestess look on the plague and, behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin, and that there is no black hair in it, then the Priest or Priestess shall shut them up that hath the plague seven days; 
And in the seventh day the Priest or Priestess shall look on the plague; and behold, if the outbreak spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the outbreak be not in sight deeper than the skin, they shall be shaven; 
But the outbreak shall they not shave; and the Priest or Priestess shall shut them up that hath the outbreak seven days more. 
And in the seventh day the Priest or Priestess shall look on the outbreak; 
And behold, if the outbreak be not spread in the skin nor be in sight deeper than the skin, then the Priest or Priestess shall pronounce them clean; and they shall wash their clothes and be clean. 
But if the outbreak spread much in the skin after their cleansing, then the Priest or Priestess shall look on them; 
And behold, if the outbreak be spread in the skin, the Priest or Priestess shall not seek for yellow hair; they are unclean. 
But if the outbreak be in their sight at a stay and that there is black hair grown up therein, the outbreak is healed; they are clean, and the Priest or Priestess shall pronounce them clean. 
¶ If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots, then the Priest and Priestess shall look; 
And behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be darkish white, it is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin; they are clean. 
¶ And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet he is clean. 
And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald; yet he is clean. 
And if there be in the bald head or bald forehead a white reddish sore, it is a tzara’at sprung up in his bald head or his bald forehead. 
Then the Priest shall look upon it; and behold, if the rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald head or in his bald forehead, as the tzara’at appeareth in the skin of the flesh, he or she is unclean; the Priest shall pronounce them utterly unclean; their plague is in their head. 
¶ And the tzara’at in whom the plague is, their clothes shall be rent, and their head bare, and they shall put a covering upon their mouth, and shall cry: Unclean, unclean. 
All the days wherein the plague shall be in them they shall be defiled; they are unclean; they shall dwell alone; without the camp shall their habitation be. 
¶ The garment also that the plague of tzara’at is in, whether it be a woolen garment or a linen garment, whether it be in the warp or woof, of linen or of woolen, whether in a skin or in anything made of skin, 
And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment or in the skin, either in the warp or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is a plague of tzara’at and shall be showed unto the Priest or the Priestess. 
And the Priest or Priestess shall look upon the plague and shut up it that hath the plague seven days; 
And they shall look on the plague on the seventh day; if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made of skin, the plague is a fretting tzara’at; it is unclean. 
They shall, therefore, burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woolen or in linen, or anything of skin wherein the plague is; for it is a fretting tzara’at; it shall be burnt in the fire. 
And if the Priest or Priestess shall look and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, then the Priest or Priestess shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and they shall be shut up seven days more; 
And the Priest or Priestess shall look on the plague after that it is washed; and behold, if the plague has not changed its color and the plague be not spread, it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret inward, whether it be bare within or without. 
And if the Priest or Priestess look and, behold, the plague be somewhat dark after the washing of it, then they shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof; 
And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is a spreading plague; thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire. 
And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time and shall be clean. 
¶ This is the Torah of the plague of tzara’at in a garment of woolen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or anything of skins, to pronounce it clean or to pronounce it unclean. 
These are the instructions and the judgments which YHVH commanded, by the hand of Moses, unto Israel.

Chapter 48

The Restoration of the Tzara’at

This shall be the Torah of tzara’at in the day of their cleansing: The men shall be brought unto the Priest, and the women unto the Priestess; 
And the Priest or the Priestess shall go forth out of the camp; and the Priest or Priestess shall look, and behold, if the plague of tzara’at be healed in them, then shall the Priest or Priestess command them to take two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop; 
And the Priest or Priestess shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water. 
As for the living bird, they shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water; 
And they shall sprinkle upon them that are to be cleansed from tzara’at seven times, and shall pronounce them clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field. 
And they that are to be cleansed shall wash their clothes, and shave off all their hair, and wash themselves in water, that they may be clean; 
And after that, they shall come into the camp and shall tarry abroad out of their tent in quarantine for seven days. 
¶ And it shall come to pass that on the seventh day, that they shall shave all their hair off their head, and their beard (if it be a man), and their eyebrows, even all their hair they shall shave off; 
And they shall wash their clothes; also they shall wash their flesh in water, and they shall be clean. 
¶ And on the eighth day they shall take two he lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three parts of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil; 
And the Priest shall present them that is to be made clean and those things before YHVH at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. 
And the Priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before YHVH; 
And the Priest shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the Holy Place; for as the sin offering is most holy; 
And the Priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the Priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of them that are to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot. 
And the Priest shall take some of the log of oil and pour it into the palm of his own left hand; 
And the Priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before YHVH; 
And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the Priest put upon the tip of the right ear of they that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering; 
And the remnant of the oil that is in the hand of the Priest, he shall pour upon the head of they that are to be cleansed; and the Priest shall make an atonement for them before YHVH. 
And the Priest shall offer the sin offering and make an atonement for them that are to be cleansed from their uncleanness; and afterwards he shall kill the burnt offering; 
And the Priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar; and the Priest shall make an atonement for them, and they shall be clean. 
¶ And if they be poor and cannot get so much, then they shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for them, and one tenth part of fine flour, mingled with oil, for a meat offering, and a log of oil; 
And two turtledoves or two young pigeons, such as they are able to get; and the one shall be a sin offering and the other an offering. 
And they shall bring them on the eighth day for their cleansing unto the Priest, unto the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before YHVH. 
And the Priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering and the log of oil, and the Priest shall wave them for a wave offering before YHVH; 
And the Priest shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering; 
And the Priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering and put it upon the tip of the right ear of they that are to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot. 
And the Priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand; 
And the Priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before YHVH; 
And the Priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of they that are to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass offering; 
And the rest of the oil that is in the hand of the Priest, he shall put upon the head of they that are to be cleansed, to make an atonement for them before YHVH. 
And the Priest shall offer the one of the turtledoves or of the young pigeons, such as they can get, 
Even such as they are able to get: one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, with the meat offering; 
And the Priest shall make an atonement for all that are to be cleansed before YHVH. 
¶ This is the Torah of they in whom is the plague of tzara’at, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to their cleansing.

Chapter 49

The Restoration of the Unclean

When one hath a running issue out of their flesh, because of any issue, they are unclean. 
And this shall be their uncleanness in their issue: Whether their flesh run with their issue or their flesh be stopped from their issue, it is their uncleanliness. 
Every bed whereon they lieth that hath the issue is unclean; and everything whereon they sitteth shall be unclean. 
And whosoever toucheth their bed shall wash their clothes, and bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening. 
And they that sitteth on anything whereon they sat that hath the issue shall wash their clothes, and bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening. 
And they that toucheth the flesh of them that hath the issue shall wash their clothes, and bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening. 
And if they that hath the issue spit upon them that are clean, then they shall wash their clothes, and bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening. 
And what saddle soever they rideth upon that hath the issue shall be unclean. 
And whosoever toucheth anything that was under them shall be unclean until the evening; 
And they that beareth any of those things shall wash their clothes, and bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening. 
And whomsoever they do toucheth that hath the issue and hath not rinsed their hands in water, they shall wash their clothes, and bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening. 
And the vessel of earth that they toucheth which hath the issue shall be broken; and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water. 
And when they that hath an issue is cleansed of their issue, then they shall number to themselves seven days for their cleansing, and wash their clothes, and bathe their flesh in running water, and shall be clean. 
And on the eighth day they shall take to them two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and come before YHVH unto the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and give them unto the Priest; 
And the Priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering and the other for an offering; and the Priest shall make an atonement for them before YHVH for their issue. 
Thus shall ye separate Israel from their uncleanness, that they die not in their uncleanness should they defile the Tabernacle that is among them. 
This is the Torah of they with a running issue, that ye be clean and avoid the plagues of the Egyptians.

Chapter 50

The Restoration of Adam and Eve

And if the seed of a man shall go out of him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the evening. 
And every garment and every skin whereon is the seed of copulation shall be washed with water and be unclean until the even. 
The woman also with whom man shall lie with the seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water and be unclean until the evening. 
¶ And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days; and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the evening. 
And everything that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean; everything also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean for the blood of it. 
And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash their clothes, and bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening. 
And whosoever toucheth anything that she sat upon shall wash their clothes, and bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening. 
And if it be on her bed or on anything whereon she sitteth, when they toucheth it, they shall be unclean until the evening. 
¶ And if any man lie with her at all and her menstrual flow be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean. 
¶ And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation, all the days of the issue of her uncleanliness shall be as the days of her separation; she shall be unclean. 
Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation; and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation. 
And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash their clothes, and bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even. 
¶ But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. 
And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles or two young pigeons and bring them unto the Priest, to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. 
And the Priest shall offer the one for a sin offering and the other for an offering; and the Priest shall make an atonement for her before YHVH for the issue of her uncleanness. 
This is the Torah of him whose seed goeth from him and is defiled therewith, and of her that is menstruating; of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.

Chapter 1

The Decalogue

And it came to pass that Moses called all the congregation of Israel and said unto them: Hear, O Israel, the statutes and ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and observe to do them. 
YHVH, our Elohim, made a covenant with us at the Mount of Ha’Elohim; yea, YHVH spoke with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire, saying:

ONE

¶ Thou shalt love YHVH, thy Elohim, with all thy heart, and with all thy might, and with all thy strength: 
Thou shalt adore Him, and serve Him, and obey Him. 
Thou shalt have no other elohim before thee. 
Thou shalt not make thee any graven image or any likeness of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the abyss beneath the earth; to bow thyself unto it, or to worship it. 
Thou shalt not bow thyself down unto them nor serve them nor adore anything that thine eye beholdeth, or thy imagination conceiveth of; 
But thou shall bow down thyself unto, YHVH thy Elohim, only; 
For YHVH, thy Elohim, is a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children from generation to generation, even upon all that hate him, and showing a multitude of mercies unto them that keep his mitzvoth.

TWO

¶ Thou shalt not take the name of YHVH, thy Elohim, in vain: 
Thou shalt not usurp dominion as a ruler; for the name of YHVH, thy Elohim, is great and glorious above all other names. 
YHVH is above all, and is the only true Elohim; the only just and upright King over all; 
He alone hath the right to rule; and in The Name, only they to whom YHVH granteth it. 
And whosoever is not chosen of YHVH, the same is a usurper, and unholy: 
YHVH will not acquit any that taketh The Name in vain, serving not YHVH.

THREE

¶ Keep the Sabbath of the Seventh Day holy, to sanctify it: 
Six days thou shalt labor and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of YHVH, thy Elohim; 
In it thou shalt not do any work; not thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates, that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou. 
For in six ages did Ha’Elohim make the Heavens and the Earth, the sea and the abyss and all which in them are, 
And They rested on the seventh day; therefore, did YHVH, bless the seventh day to sanctify it. 
Thou shalt keep it holy unto YHVH, that thou forget not the Torah, nor be found keeping the company of the vile, nor be despised by the righteous.

FOUR

¶ Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: 
Thou shalt not revile them, nor speak evil of them, nor curse them. 
Thou shalt do no injustice unto them; and thou shalt maintain their rights against their enemies; 
Thou shalt not exact rigorously of them, nor turn aside from relieving them. 
Thou shalt deliver them from the snare and the pit, and shalt return their ox when he strayeth; 
Thou shalt comfort them when they mourn, and nurture them when they sicken; 
Thou shalt not abate the price of what thou buyest of them, for their necessity; nor shalt thou exact of them, because they leaneth upon thee; 
For in so doing thousands shall rise up and call thee blessed, and YHVH, thy Elohim, shall strengthen thee in all the work of thy hand.

¶ Honor thy father and thy mother; give heed to their commandments, obey their laws, and depart not from their precepts: 
Reverence their age, and seek unto their house all the days of thy life; 
Exalt not thyself against them, nor withhold to build up their house above thine own. 
Honor and obey the king and the judges, and the rulers, and all that are set in authority; for they are as fathers among the people, that they may be a fear unto evil doers; 
Honor the Priest also, who stands before YHVH, that he may instruct thee and thy days shall be long upon the land which YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee.

SIX

¶ Thou shalt not murder. 
Thou shalt slay no man or woman in malice; neither thy child, nor thy wife, nor thy bondman, nor thy bondwoman, nor thy servant, nor the child of thy servant. 
Neither shalt thou slay thine enemy, except thou admonish them, and entreat them, and they hear thee not, and Ha’Elohim give them into thy hand; and thou shalt only slay them in lawful war. 
And if anyone should trespass against thee, and break through, and do violence, thou shalt not slay them in revenge; 
But if thou overtake them in their trespass, thou mayest resist unto blood; 
Yet except thou slay them in the trespass, thou shalt deliver them to the judge; and the judge shall judge them, and the hand of the officer shall be on them.

SEVEN

¶ Thou shall not commit adultery or apostasy: 
Thou shalt not in any wise lie with the wife of thy neighbor; and if she seduce thee, thou shalt resist her that thou pollute not thyself, and make not the place of thy house unclean, and destroy not the house of thy neighbor, and that thou cause no violence in the land. 
Thou shalt not lie with the wife of the stranger; neither shalt thou lie with the wife of thine enemy; lest thy children be scattered abroad, and know not thee, nor the fear of thee be upon them, and they be strangers to the covenant of YHVH, and the whole land be corrupt, and thine offspring be destroyed with the wicked.

EIGHT

¶ Thou shall not steal or deceive: 
Thou shalt not trespass upon anything that is belonging to thy neighbor, to take it from them, nor to destroy it; 
Neither shalt thou trespass upon the stranger that dwelleth within thy gates, to destroy their substance, nor to take it from them; 
For to thee shall they seek for justice, and a shield round about all that they hath; and the fear of YHVH, thy Elohim, is upon them also, and to thy righteousness these will seek; 
Neither shalt thou overreach them by cunning, nor by stratagem, to take for thyself the substance of thy neighbor, nor the stranger within thy gates. 
Remember that ye were strangers, and were oppressed, and oppress not the stranger, lest their cry ascend to YHVH against you.

NINE

¶ Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor: 
Thou shalt not speak falsely before a king, nor before a judge, nor in the assembly of rulers, nor in the presence of a ruler, nor unto the Priest, nor among the multitude; 
Nor in the ear of thy friend, nor to thy wife, nor thy child, nor thy servant. 
Thou shall not withhold the truth from a king, nor a judge, nor anyone that is set in authority, for thus shall righteousness be established in all thy borders.

TEN

¶ Thou shalt not covet the inheritance of thy neighbors: 
Thou shalt not covet the house of thy neighbors, nor their bondman, nor their bondwoman, nor their manservant, nor their maidservant, nor their horse, nor their carriage, nor the instruments of their labor, nor the produce of their land, nor the things that they have made, nor the treasures they have in their storehouse, nor anything that is thy neighbors’. 
Thy desire shall not be upon them, to take them by stealth, nor by fraud, nor by cunning, nor by violence; 
Neither shalt thou covet that which belongeth to the stranger that dwelleth within thy gates; 
Yea, thou shalt improve thine own, and thy desire shall be unto it; lest thou be corrupt, and the hand of thy neighbors be against thee, and the cry of the poor ascend to YHVH against thee. 
¶ Ye shall observe all my ordinances and all my customs and do them; I am YHVH. _ 
¶ And these are the words YHVH spoke unto all your assembly in the Mount of Ha’Elohim, out of the midst of the fire, out of the darkness of the cloud, and out of the thick of the darkness, with a great voice. 
And YHVH wrote all these and more in two tables of stone and delivered them unto me. 
¶ And it came to pass that when you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, that you came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes and your Elders; 
And you said: Behold, YHVH, our Elohim, hath showed us His glory and greatness, and we have heard His voice out of the midst of the fire; 
Behold, we have seen this day that YHVH doth talk with man, and we live: 
Now, therefore, why should we die? This great fire will not consume us if we hear the voice of YHVH, our Elohim, anymore; 
For whom but we is there of all flesh that hath heard the voice of the living Elohim speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived? 
But thou, Moses; go near and hear all that YHVH, our Elohim, shall say; and speak thou unto us all that YHVH, our Elohim, shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it and do it. 
¶ And YHVH heard the voice of your words when ye spoke unto me; and YHVH said unto me: I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken unto thee; 
They have well said all that they have spoken; O, that there were such a heart in them that they would fear me and keep all my mitzvoth always, that it might be well with them and with their children forever! 
Go now; say to them: Get you into your tents again. 
But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the mitzvoth, and the ordinances, and the customs which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it. 
You shall observe to do, therefore, all that YHVH, your Elohim, hath commanded you; you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 
You shall walk in all the ways which YHVH, your Elohim, hath commanded you, that you may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.

Chapter 2

YHVH is Unity

Now these are the mitzvoth, and the ordinances, and the customs which YHVH, your Elohim, commanded  me to teach you, that you might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it, 
That thou mightest fear YHVH, thy Elohim, to keep all His customs and His mitzvoth which I command thee; 
Thou, and thy sons and daughters, and thy son's sons and thy daughters’ daughters, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. 
Hear, therefore, O Israel, the words of YHVH, and observe to do them, that it may be well with thee and that you may increase mightily, as YHVH, the Elohim of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey: 
Hear, O Israel: YHVH is our Elohim; YHVH is unity. 
Thou shalt love YHVH, thy Elohim, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 
Remember these, the words of YHVH, thy Elohim, that thou shall know wisdom and in knowledge grow in thy understanding. 
¶ And these words which I instruct thee this day shall be in thine heart; 
And thou shalt teach the mitzvoth and the customs diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 
And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as bands between thine eyes. 
And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house and on thy gates. 
And it shall be that when YHVH, thy Elohim, shall have brought thee into the land which He swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob— 
To give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not, and houses full of all good things, which thou fillest not, and wells digged, which thou diggest not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantest not; 
Yea, when thou shalt have eaten and be full; then beware, lest thou forget YHVH, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt from the house of bondage. 
¶ Thou shalt stand in awe of YHVH, thy Elohim, and reverence and serve Him, and make thy oaths only by His name. 
Ye shall not go after other gods, or chase after the elohim of the people which are round about you, lest the anger of YHVH, thy Elohim, be kindled against thee and destroy thee from off the face of the earth. 
Ye shall not tempt YHVH, your Elohim, as you tempted him in the house of Peor. 
But ye shall diligently keep the mitzvoth of YHVH, your Elohim, and His testimonies, and His ordinances which He hath given thee; 
And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of YHVH, that it may be well with thee and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which YHVH swore unto thy fathers: 
To cast out all thine enemies from before thee even as YHVH hath spoken, 
For YHVH hath said: Holy ye shall be for I, YHVH Elohim, am holy. 
Every man and every woman shall fear and respect their Mother the earth, and their Father in the Heavens, for these are the Creator, and ye, their creation, shall keep my Sabbaths; I am YHVH thy Elohim. 
Be not adulterers, turning unto idols, neither make unto yourselves molten gods, for I am YHVH thy Elohim. 
And when ye shall make thy peace offerings in sacrifice unto YHVH, you shall offer it at your own will that I might find them acceptable to me; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And when thy son or thy daughter asketh thee in time to come, saying: What meaneth the testimonies, and the ordinances, and the customs which YHVH, our Elohim, hath laid charge upon you? 
Then thou shalt say unto thy sons and thy daughters: We were the slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt; and YHVH brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand; 
And YHVH showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household before our eyes; 
And YHVH brought us out from thence, that He might bring us in, to give us the land which He swore unto our fathers. 
And YHVH commanded us to do all these statutes, to stand in awe of our Elohim, for our good always, that He might preserve us alive, as it is at this day. 
And it shall be our righteousness if we observe to do all these mitzvoth before YHVH, our Elohim, as He hath taught us.

Chapter 3

A Holy People

When YHVH, thy Elohim, shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee; 
Even the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; 
And when YHVH, thy Elohim, shall deliver them before thee, thou shalt smite them and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them nor show mercy unto them; 
Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughters thou shalt not give unto their sons, nor their daughters shalt thou take unto thy sons; 
For they will turn away thy sons from following thy Elohim, that they may serve other elohim; so will the anger of YHVH be kindled against you and destroy thee suddenly. 
But thus shall you deal with them: You shall destroy their altars, and tear down their sacred pillars, and burn their wooden idols, and smash their images carved into stone; 
For thou art a holy people unto YHVH, thy Elohim; YHVH, thy Elohim, hath chosen thee to be a holy people unto Himself, prized above all peoples upon the face of the earth. 
YHVH did not set His love upon you nor choose you because you are more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all people; 
But YHVH loves you and because He would keep the oath which He had sworn unto your fathers, 
And for the sake of that oath hath YHVH brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. 
Know, therefore, that YHVH, thy Elohim, He is El Elyon above all of Ha’Elohim, the faithful God, which keepeth covenants and hath mercy for they that love Him and keep His mitzvoth to a thousand generations, 
And YHVH repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them; He will not be slack to they that hateth Him; He will repay them to their face. 
Thou shalt, therefore, keep the mitzvoth, and the ordinances, and the customs which I do instruct thee this day, to do them. 
¶ Wherefore, it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these customs and keep and do them, that YHVH, thy Elohim, shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which He swore unto thy fathers; 
And YHVH will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee; 
YHVH will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy herds, and the flocks of thy sheep in the land which He swore unto thy fathers to give thee; 
And thou shalt be blessed above all people; there shall not be male or female barren among you or among your cattle. 
And YHVH shall take away from thee the plagues, yea, none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, will fall upon thee, but these shall be set aside to curse them that hate thee. 
And thou shalt consume all the people which YHVH, thy Elohim, shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them; neither shalt thou serve their elohim, for that will be a snare unto thee. 
And if thou shalt say in thine heart: These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them? 
Thou shalt not be afraid of them but shalt well remember what YHVH, thy Elohim, did unto Pharaoh and unto all of Egypt: 
The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and His mighty right arm, and His outstretched arm whereby YHVH, thy Elohim, brought thee out; so shall YHVH, thy Elohim, do unto all the people of whom thou might surly fear. 
Moreover, YHVH, thy Elohim, will send the hornet among them until they that are left and hide themselves from thee be destroyed; 
Therefore, thou shalt not be afraid of them; for YHVH, thy Elohim, is among you, and is the highest and the most revered amongst Ha’Elohim. 
¶ And YHVH, thy Elohim, will put out those nations before thee by little and little; thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee. 
But YHVH, thy Elohim, shall deliver them unto thee and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction until they be destroyed. 
And YHVH shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their names from under the heavens; 
And there shall be no one able to stand before thee; thou conquer them all. 
The graven images of their elohim shall you burn with fire; thou shalt not covet the silver or gold that is in them nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein; for it is loathsome unto YHVH, thy Elohim; 
Neither shalt thou bring any such detestable things into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it; but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.

Chapter 4

Remember and Perish Not

All the mitzvoth which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which YHVH swore unto your fathers. 
And thou shalt remember all the way which YHVH, thy Elohim, led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep His mitzvoth or not. 
And YHVH hath humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know, 
And this that thou might know that mankind doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of YHVH doth thou live: 
And thy raiment waxed not old upon thee; neither did thy foot swell these forty years. 
Thou shalt also consider in thine heart that, as a man chasteneth his son, so YHVH, thy Elohim, chasteneth thee; 
Therefore, thou shalt keep the mitzvoth of YHVH, thy Elohim, to walk in His ways and to love Him. 
For YHVH, thy Elohim, bringeth thee into a good and spacious land: a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; 
A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, with fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey; 
A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass. 
And when thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless YHVH, thy Elohim, for the good land which thou hath been given. 
¶ Beware: forget not YHVH, thy Elohim, falling asleep to His mitzvoth, and His practice, and His ordinances, which I lay charge upon thee this day, 
Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein, 
And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied, 
Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget YHVH, thy Elohim, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt from the house of bondage, 
Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water, who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint, 
Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that He might humble thee and that He might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end. 
¶ And thou might say in thine heart: My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth; 
But thou shalt remember YHVH, thy Elohim; for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day. 
¶ And it shall come to pass that if thou do at all forget YHVH, thy Elohim, and walk after other elohim, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish. 
As the nations which YHVH conquereth before your face, so shall ye perish because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of YHVH, your Elohim; therefore, remember, and perish not.

Chapter 5

Hear, O Israel

Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven, 
A people great and tall, the children of giants, whom thou knowest and of whom thou hast heard say: Who can stand before the children of giants? 
Understand, therefore, this day that YHVH, thy Elohim, shall go over before thee; as a consuming fire shall destroy them, and shall bring them down before thy face; 
And by this shalt thou drive them out and conquer them quickly, even as YHVH hath said. 
¶ Speak not in thine heart after YHVH, thy Elohim, hath cast them out from before thee, saying: For my righteousness YHVH hath brought me in to possess this land; but for the wickedness of these nations YHVH doth drive them out from before thee. 
Not for thy righteousness or for the uprightness of thine heart dost thou go to possess their land; 
But for the wickedness of these nations YHVH, thy Elohim, doth drive them out from before thee, and that He may perform the Word which YHVH swore unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 
¶ Understand, therefore, that YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiff-necked people. 
Remember and forget not how thou provokedst YHVH, thy Elohim, to wrath in the wilderness; 
Yea, from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt until you came unto this place you have been rebellious against YHVH. 
You did provok YHVH to wrath, so that at times YHVH was angry enough to have utterly wiped thee out. 
When I was gone up into the Mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the Covenant which YHVH did make with you, there we abode in the mount forty days and forty nights; we neither did eat bread nor drink water; 
And YHVH delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of YHVH; 
And on them was written according to all the words which YHVH spoke in the mount, out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. 
And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights that YHVH gave us the two tables of stone, even the Tables of the Covenant. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH said unto us: Arise; get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; 
They are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image. 
Furthermore, YHVH spoke unto us, saying: I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 
Let me alone, that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they. 
¶ And it came to pass that I turned and came down from the Mount, and the Mount burned with fire; and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands. 
And I looked, and behold, ye had sinned against YHVH, your Elohim, and had made you a molten calf; you had turned aside quickly out of the way which YHVH had commanded you. 
And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes. 
And I fell down before YHVH, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; 
I did neither eat bread nor drink water because of all your sins which you sinned in doing wickedly in the sight of YHVH, to provoke Him to anger; 
For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure wherewith YHVH was wroth against you to destroy you. but YHVH hearkened unto me at that time also. 
And YHVH was very angry with Aaron, to have destroyed him; and I prayed for Aaron also the same time. 
And it came to pass that I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust; 
And I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the Mount. 
¶ Likewise, it came to pass that when YHVH sent you, saying: Go up and possess the land which I have given you; 
Then ye rebelled against the commandment of YHVH, your Elohim, and you believed Him not nor hearkened to His voice. 
Yea, you have been rebellious against YHVH from the day that I knew you. 
Thus I fell down before YHVH forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first, because YHVH had said He would destroy you. 
I prayed, therefore, unto YHVH and said: O Lord YHVH, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 
Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin, 
Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say: Because YHVH was not able to bring them into the land which He promised them and because He hated them, He hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness; 
Yet they are Thy people and Thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by Thy mighty power and by Thy mighty right hand and Thy outstretched arm.

Chapter 6

Reverence YHVH, Thy Elohim

And it came to pass that YHVH said unto me: Hew thee two other tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me upon the Mount, and make thee an ark of wood. 
And I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables, which thou breakest, save the words of the Everlasting Covenant of the Holy Priesthood; and thou shalt put them in the ark. 
And I made an ark of wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the Mount of Ha’Elohim, having the two tables in mine hand. 
And YHVH wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the Covenant, which YHVH spoke unto you in the Mount, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly; 
And He gave ten instructions also; and YHVH gave these unto us, that thou might know, and that thou wouldst remember. 
And we turned ourselves, and came down from the Mount, and I put the tables in the ark which had been made; and there they be even as YHVH commanded me. 
¶ And it came to pass that Israel took her journey from there to the mount where Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar, his son, ministered in the office of the Priest in his stead. 
And YHVH separated the tribe of Levi to bear the Ark of the Covenant of YHVH, to stand before YHVH to minister unto Him, and to bless in His name; 
And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and YHVH hearkened unto me at that time also, and YHVH would not destroy thee. 
And YHVH said unto me: Arise; take thy journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land which I swore unto their fathers to give unto them. 
¶ And now, O Israel, what doth YHVH, thy Elohim, require of thee, but to reverence YHVH, thy Elohim, 
To walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve YHVH, thy Elohim, with all thy heart and with all thy soul, 
To keep the mizvath of YHVH and His ordinances which I instruct thee this day for thy good? 
Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens belongs to YHVH, thy Elohim, the earth also, with all that therein is. 
Only YHVH had a delight in thy fathers to love them; and He chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day. 
Circumcise, therefore, the foreskin of thine heart and be no more stiff-necked; 
For YHVH, your Elohim, is Elohim over Ha’Elohim, and Lord of lords, El Elyon, mighty and awesome, which regardeth not any persons nor taketh any bribes; 
YHVH doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow and loveth the stranger, in giving them food and raiment; 
For YHVH hath said: If a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, thou shall not vex them; but the stranger that dwelleth with thee shall be unto thee as one born among you, 
And thou shalt love them as thyself; for thou wast a stranger in the land of Egypt; and I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
Therefore, love the stranger and the foreigner amongst you; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. 
¶ Thou shalt fear YHVH, thy Elohim; Him shalt thou serve, and to Him shalt thou cleave and make all thy oaths by His name. 
He is thy praise, and He is thy Elohim, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things which thine eyes have seen. 
Thy fathers went down into Egypt with but seventy people; and now YHVH, thy Elohim, hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude; 
Therefore, thou shalt love YHVH, thy Elohim, and keep His obligations, and His statutes, and His ordinances, and His mitzvoth always.

Chapter 7

Observe and Do

And now, know you this day; for I speak not with your children which have not known and which have not seen the chastisement of YHVH, your Elohim; His greatness, His mighty right arm, and His outstretched arm, 
And His miracles, and His acts, which He did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and unto all his land, 
And what He did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots, how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how YHVH did destroy them, 
And what He did unto you in the wilderness until ye came into this place, 
And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, which said: We will not come up; 
And how the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel. 
But your eyes have seen all the great acts of YHVH which He did; 
Therefore, you shall keep all the mitzvoth which I give you this day, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land whither you go to possess it, 
And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which YHVH swore unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey; 
For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt from whence you came out, where thou sowed thy seed and watered it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs; 
But the land whither you go to possess it is a land of hills and valleys and drinketh water of the rain of the heavens. 
Yea, it is a land which YHVH, thy Elohim, careth for; the eyes of YHVH, thy Elohim, are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year. 
¶ And it shall come to pass, if you shall hearken diligently unto my mitzvoth which I command you this day, to love YHVH, your Elohim, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, 
That YHVH will give you the rain of your land in His due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. 
And YHVH will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full. 
Take heed to yourselves, therefore, that your heart be not deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other elohim, and worship them; 
And then the wrath of YHVH shall be kindled against you and He shall shut up the heavens, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit, and lest you perish quickly from off the good land which YHVH giveth you; 
Therefore, you shall lay up these, my words, in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as a vision between your eyes: 
And you shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 
And thou shalt write them upon the doorposts of thine house and upon thy gates, 
That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which YHVH swore unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens upon the earth. 
¶ And if you shall diligently keep all these mitzvoth which I teach unto you, to do them—to love YHVH, our Elohim, to walk in all His ways, and to cleave unto Him— 
Then will YHVH drive out all these nations from before you, and you shall possess greater nations and a people mightier than yourselves. 
Yea, the very place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours; from the wilderness, from the river, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be. 
And no one shall be able to stand before you; for YHVH, your Elohim, shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that you shall tread upon, even as He hath said unto you. 
¶ Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse: 
A blessing that if you obey the mitzvoth of YHVH, your Elohim, which I do teach you this day, 
And a curse if you will not obey the mitzvoth of YHVH, your Elohim, but turn aside out of the way which I teach you this day, to go after other elohim which you have not known. 
¶ And it shall come to pass that when YHVH, thy Elohim, hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put a blessing upon the mountain to the North of that land, and the curse upon the tallest mountain to the North, residing next to that blessed mount. 
And the mountain to the North, it is blessed, and it shall be as the Mountain of Ha’Elohim unto you, for it is the place where thy father, Abraham went to offer up his son, our father, Isaac unto YHVH; and there the angel of YHVH did meet him. 
And thou shalt build an altar on that cursed mountain, that which is the tallest mountain to the North, made from cut stones, to make there the peace offerings upon that altar, 
And you shall eat there, and you shall write the words of this Law on the stone; 
And this shall be as a tabernacle unto YHVH, that Ha’Elohim will see and remember, that the curse of this mountain come not upon you. 
For you shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which YHVH, your Elohim, giveth you, and ye shall possess it and dwell therein; 
And you shall observe to do all the statutes and ordinances which I set before you this day; even so, Amen.

Chapter 8

The Statutes and Judgments

And these are the statutes and judgments which ye shall observe to do in the land, which YHVH, the Elohim of thy fathers giveth thee to possess, all the days that ye live upon the earth: 
Ye shall do away and blot out all the places wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their elohim, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree; 
Ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their obelisks, and burn their idols of wood with fire; and carved images of their elohim ye shall break, and destroy the names of them out of that place. 
And ye shall not worship YHVH, your Elohim, in these ways; 
But unto the place which YHVH, your Elohim, shall choose out of all your tribes to put His name there, even unto His habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come; 
And thither ye shall bring your offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks; 
And there ye shall eat before YHVH, your Elohim, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein YHVH, thy Elohim, hath blessed thee. 
¶ Ye shall no more do after all the things that we do here this day, everyone doing whatsoever is right in their own eyes; 
For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance which YHVH, your Elohim, giveth you: 
But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which YHVH, your Elohim, giveth you to inherit, and when He giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety, 
Then there shall be a place which YHVH, your Elohim, shall choose to cause His name to dwell there. 
And there ye shall bring all that I command you: your offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes and offerings, and all your choice votive offerings which ye vow unto YHVH; 
And ye shall rejoice before YHVH, your Elohim; ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates, forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you. 
Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest; 
But in the places in which YHVH shall choose, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I instruct thee. 
Notwithstanding, thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of YHVH, thy Elohim, which He hath given thee; 
The unclean and the clean beasts thou may eat thereof, only thou shall not eat the blood; yea, thou shall pour it upon the earth as water. 
¶ Thou mayest not eat within thy gates thy tithes of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy offerings which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or votive offering of thine hand; 
But thou must eat them before YHVH, thy Elohim, in the place which YHVH, thy Elohim, shall choose, 
Thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates; 
And thou shalt rejoice before YHVH, thy Elohim, in all that thou puttest thine hands unto. 
¶ Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth: 
When YHVH, thy Elohim, shall enlarge thy border, as He hath promised thee, and thou shalt say: I will eat meat; thou mayest eat meat, whenever thou should desire it. 
If the place which YHVH, thy Elohim, hath chosen to put His name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock which YHVH hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thou should desire; the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike: 
Only be sure that thou eat not the blood; for the blood is the life, and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh; thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water; 
Thou shalt not eat it, that it may go well with thee and with thy children after thee when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of YHVH. 
Only thy holy things which thou hast and thy vows thou shalt take and go unto the place which YHVH shall choose; 
And thou shalt offer thy offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altars of YHVH, thy Elohim; 
And the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altars of YHVH, thy Elohim, and thou shalt eat the flesh. 
Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee and with thy children after thee forever when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ When YHVH, thy Elohim, shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them and dwellest in their land, 
Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them after that they be converted from before thee, 
And that thou inquire not after their elohim, saying: How did these nations serve their elohim? Even so will I do likewise. 
Thou shalt not do so unto YHVH, thy Elohim; for every abomination to YHVH which He hateth have they done unto their gods; 
For even their sons and their daughters they have burnt as offerings in the fire to their elohim. 
¶ What thing soever I instruct you, observe to do it; thou shalt not add thereto nor diminish from it.

Chapter 9

Oaths

Thou shalt swear by The Name, YHVH, thy Elohim, and this thou shall do by the reckoning of Ruach Ha'kodesh , and by nothing less: 
Neither by the heavens, for the throne of El Elyon is there; nor by the hosts thereof, for they serve YHVH; 
Nor by the earth, for it is the place of the sole of His foot; nor by the inhabitants thereof, for they are mortal, and vane; 
Nor by thyself, for thou art of a day, and shalt cease; nor by any work of mankind, for it perisheth. 
¶ Remember that YHVH, thy Elohim, spoke by the power and authority of His own name, and this because there is none greater: 
And by the greater shalt thou swear, even by Elohim Shaddai, whose is the Kingdom under the whole of the heavens. 
Thou shalt not swear by the name of any other elohim. 
¶ Thou shalt not profane the name of YHVH, thy Elohim, nor the Presence, nor the Breath by any oath; 
But thou shall maketh an oath only as the Torah requireth of thee and alloweth, shalt thou take upon thee; for all else is profane. 
Thou shalt not profane the name of YHVH by any oath or vow, of thine own. 
¶ And thou shall make thy oath before the Rabbi, and the Judge, and the Ruler, and the Priest of the Torah; and before such as are set in authority, whensoever they require it: 
And there may be an oath also between those who enter into the covenant, and also between they that serveth, and they that ordereth. 
¶ Thou shalt perform all thine oaths; whether unto Ha’Elohim or unto mankind, thou shalt perform them; thou shalt do according to every word that proceedeth out of thy mouth. 
Thou shalt not speak with thy lips when thy heart giveth not assent, to do and to perform all the words of thy mouth; 
And if thou swear by an oath to do anything which is known to thee, and it be sin, it is not an oath of YHVH, thy Elohim; 
Thou canst not profane the name of the holy to sanctify sin; YHVH shall judge thee, and they that asketh it of thee, and thou shall bear your sins together. 
¶ And if thou swear by an oath to do a thing, and it be hid from thee, and thou know it not, and when it is known to thee it is sin; 
Thou shalt submit thyself unto the judgment of Ha’Elohim, and shalt do penance; and shalt make restitution, as shall be put upon thee, offering up a sin offering; 
And this that all sin may be put away, and thy heart purified, and wickedness put out of the land. 
¶ And if thy wife swear by an oath to perform anything which thou mayest disallow, and thou hold thy peace at her, the day that thou hearest it, her oath shall stand; 
If thou wilt not that she perform it, thou shalt disallow it presently; for if thou delay, and then disallow it, thou shalt answer for her oath, and shalt bear her iniquity. 
¶ If thy son or thy daughter swear by an oath to perform anything which thou mayest disallow, and thou hold thy peace to thy child the day that thou hearest it, the oath shall stand; 
If thou wilt not that the oath stand, thou shalt disallow it presently; for if thou delay, and then disallow it, thou shalt answer for the oath, and shalt bear the iniquity of thy child. 
¶ And if thy servant swear by an oath to do a thing which thou mayest disallow, and thou hold thy peace at them, the day that thou hearest it, their oath shall stand; 
If thou wilt not that this oath stand, thou shalt disallow it presently; for if thou delay, and then disallow it, thou shalt answer for the oath, and shalt bear the iniquity of thy servant. 
Thou shall make no oaths; but if thou should vow a vow unto YHVH, or swear an oath to bind thy soul with a bond; then thou shall not break thy word, thou shall do according to all that proceedeth out of thy mouth. 
Thou shalt neither make any oaths with nor shall thou respect the oaths of the Mahan; but in righteousness shalt thou make and keep all thy oaths that thou shall keep the statutes of YHVH, thy Elohim.

Chapter 10

Hearken unto the Voice of YHVH

If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and they giveth thee a sign or a miracle, and the sign or the miracle come to pass, 
But they say unto thee: Let us go after other elohim which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams; 
For YHVH, thy Elohim, proveth thee, to know whether thou love YHVH, your Elohim, with all thy heart and with all thy soul: 
Ye shall walk after YHVH, your Elohim, and love Him, and keep His mitzvoth, and obey His Voice; and thou shall serve YHVH and cleave unto Him. 
And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be turned away because they hath spoken priestcraft to turn you away from YHVH, your Elohim, which brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which YHVH, thy Elohim, instructed thee to walk in: 
So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee. 
¶ If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying: Let us go and serve other elohim, which thou hast not known, thou nor thy fathers, 
Namely, the elohim of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth, 
Thou shalt not consent unto them nor hearken unto them; neither shall thine eye pity them; neither shalt thou spare them; neither shalt thou conceal them; 
But thou shalt surely turn them away; thine hand shall be first upon them to put to death that priestcraft, and afterwards the hand of all the people. 
And thou shalt cast them out of thy residence, that should they die, it be the will of Ha’Elohim; 
For they hath sought to thrust thee away from YHVH, thy Elohim, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt from the house of bondage. 
And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this among you. 
¶ If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which YHVH, thy Elohim, hath given thee to dwell there, saying: 
Scoundrels are gone out from among you, and have led astray the inhabitants of their city, saying: Let us go and serve other elohim, which thou hast not known, 
Then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and behold, if it be truth and the thing certain, that such a detestable thing is wrought among you, 
Thou shalt surely teach these, thy people, to follow YHVH, thy Elohim, that they be offered teshuvah; 
And if they reject YHVH, and should draw their swords against thee and thy peoples, then shall thou smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, 
And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof and shalt burn with fire, all the spoil thereof, every whit, for an offering unto YHVH, thy Elohim. 
And thou shall keep none of the cursed things into thine hand, that YHVH may turn from the fierceness of His anger, and show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee as He hath sworn unto thy fathers, 
For when thou shalt hearken unto the Voice of YHVH, thy Elohim, to keep all His mitzvoth which I do instruct thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of YHVH, thy Elohim, thou shalt be blessed; 
Therefore, thou shalt delight in blessing, and not in cursing. 
And in the name of YHVH, and of all the holy ones, even all that are above thee, shalt thou bless; and it shall be a blessing. 
And thou shalt bless thy fellows, and thy children and servants, and theirs; and all who seek to learn the righteousness of YHVH, and the peace of His Kingdom of thee, and all they whom Ha’Elohim hath committed to thy care: 
And they who do bless thee, these shalt thou honor. 
¶ Thou shalt not curse out of the bitterness of thine own heart; nor shalt thou curse any but they that is under condemnation of the Torah of YHVH, and being oft rebuked, will not seek teshuvah. 
Thou shalt not curse thy neighbors, nor the stranger that dwelleth with thee; for the hand of the judge be over them, and should they rebuke, they will repent, and turn to righteousness; 
But should should these bind thee with curses, then shalt thou do likewise that thou should seek the protection of YHVH. 
But thou shalt not curse any who is placed in authority, or that hath been given dominion over thee; 
And if these should oppress thee, or do thee unrighteousness, and thy cry ascend to YHVH in heaven, in heaven will He hear thee and will be thy avenger; 
Therefore, curse not, lest thy curse return upon thee.

Chapter 11

The Clean and the Unclean

To keep sickness from this people, thou shalt not eat any sickly or detestable thing. 
And these are the beasts which thou shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat, 
The deer, and the gazelle, and the roe deer, and the aqqo, and the antelope, and the wild ox, and the wild goat; 
And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that thou shall eat. 
Nevertheless, these thou shall not eat: of them that chew the cud or of them that divide the cloven hoof, as the camel, and the hare, and the coney; for they chew the cud but divide not the hoof; therefore, they are unclean unto thee. 
And the swine, because it divideth the hoof yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you; thou shall not eat of their flesh nor touch their dead carcass. 
¶ These thou shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales thou shall eat; and whatsoever hath not fins and scales thou may not eat; it is unclean unto thee. 
Of all clean birds thou shall eat, but these are they of which thou shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, 
And the glede, and the vulture, and the bird of prey; and every raven after his kind, and the bath, the tachmas, and the gull, and any kind of hawk, and the kowc, and the yanshuph, and the tinshemeth, 
And the stork, and the heron, and the dukiphath, and the bat; but of all clean fowls thou may eat. 
And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto thee; they shall not be eaten. 
¶ Thou shall not eat of anything that dieth on its own; thou shalt not give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that they may eat it; nor may thou sell it unto a foreigner. 
And all this thou shall do to abate the sickness that should come should thou eateth that which is unclean; 
For as I commanded thee: thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thou should desire; the unclean and the clean, thou shall eat of them alike; 
But of the unclean, these thou shall not bring into the place YHVH shall choose to place His name, nor shall thou give of it unto YHVH as a sacrifice. 
¶ Thou shalt not sacrifice unto YHVH, thy Elohim, any bullock or sheep wherein there is blemish or any that is mangled; for that is detestable unto YHVH, thy Elohim. 
And because thou art a holy people unto YHVH, thy Elohim, thou shalt not eat of the blood, nor shall thou cook a kid in the milk of its mother. 
¶ Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year, 
And thou shalt eat before YHVH, thy Elohim, in the place which He shall choose to place His name there, 
The tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks, that thou mayest learn to revere YHVH, thy Elohim, always. 
And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, or if the place be too far from thee which YHVH, thy Elohim, shall choose to set His name there when YHVH, thy Elohim, hath blessed thee, 
Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which YHVH, thy Elohim, shall choose; 
And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul should desire, be it oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth; 
And thou shalt eat it as a feast before YHVH, thy Elohim, and thou shalt rejoice, thee and thine household, 
¶ And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake them, for they hath no part nor inheritance with thee. 
At the end of three years, thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year and shalt lay it up within thy gates; 
And the Levite, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow which are within thy gates shall come, and shall eat, and be satisfied, 
That YHVH, thy Elohim, may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest. 
¶ All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto YHVH, thy Elohim; thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock nor shear the firstling of thy sheep. 
Thou shalt eat it before YHVH, thy Elohim, year by year in the place which YHVH shall choose, thou and thy household. 
And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto YHVH, thy Elohim. 
And thou shalt eat it within thy gates; the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as if it were a gazelle or deer. 
Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.

Chapter 12

In Prayer and Thanksgiving

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not use many words, or vain repetitions; for YHVH, thy Elohim, hath understanding: nor shalt thou cry aloud; for Ha’Elohim heareth the whisper of the heart. 
Nevertheless, in the assembly thou shalt speak with a flowing voice, that they who prayeth with thee might hear, and may say: So mote it be; Amen. 
Thy prayers shall be unto YHVH, thy Father; for He is rich in mercy and loving kindness; 
And in the Heavens shall He hear thee, in the fullness of His Wisdom and goodness, as thou believeth on His name; 
But unto the Priests of YHVH thou shall petition for whatsoever He has dispensed unto them; for the mercy of YHVH is over all His works. 
¶ And when in blessing, YHVH, thy Elohim, shall bestow upon thee any great and choice blessing; or, in His abundant charity, shall deliver thee from any great calamity, thou shalt assemble together thy wives, and thy children; thy friends, and thy neighbors; and shalt celebrate his glorious goodness with thank offerings, and feasting, and music, and dancing. 
And for the chief blessings of YHVH to thee, shalt thou keep it in remembrance from year to year, and teach it to thy children, that they who inherit the blessing may not forget gratitude to the giver, and the remembrance of the goodness of thy Elohim be preserved throughout all generations. 
¶ Thou shalt offer upon the altar of YHVH, thy Elohim, and before the Priests, sacrifices for sin offerings, and for trespass offerings, and for memorials, and for peace offerings, and for thank offerings. 
Thy offerings shall be of the firstlings of thy flocks, and of the choice of thy fields, and of the chief of all holy things. 
Of thy flocks thou shall offer the firstling of male or female, without deformity or blemish, of such as divide the hoof and chew the cud; 
And of fowls, shalt thou offer all singing birds; and of fishes, all that have scales and fins; and of shell fish, such as have two shells, and move about from place to place: 
And these shall be holy unto YHVH, thy Elohim, and shall be offered upon the altar. 
Of the choice of thy fields, that which is good for food without change or addition, and whatsoever is used for bread for mankind, that is holy unto YHVH, thy Elohim, and shall be offered unto Him as an offering, and lifted up to the Priest; but it shall not be offered on the altar. 
And whatsoever other thing you offer, it shall be accompanied with one of these, and thus thy gift shall be sanctified: 
But if it be not accompanied with one of these, thou shalt redeem it at the valuation of the Priest, and it and the price thereof shall belong to YHVH. 
¶ And when YHVH, thy Elohim, shall manifest Himself unto thee in majesty and might, or walketh with thee, and revealeth unto thee wisdom and knowledge, thou shalt erect pillars, tablets and enduring monuments unto Him, and make inscriptions upon them: 
And thou shalt write and inscribe thereon the dealings of YHVH with thee, His blessings and mercies, and His great power and glory, which YHVH hath revealed unto thee; 
And this that it may remain a witness to the generations to come; and that they may know that YHVH is thy Elohim and there is none else. 
Thou shalt preserve the memory of the chosen of YHVH, who have been faithful in their duties, and in whatsoever YHVH, thy Elohim, hath called them, teaching their deeds unto thy children, and thy children’s children. 
Thou shalt build monuments to their memory, and erect pillars and tablets, and inscribe their praises, their works, their faith and their sufferings thereon; 
And when thou beholdest their monuments, thou shalt remember them, and talk of their righteousness, and teach thy children to walk in their righteous ways. 
But remember, you are the children of YHVH, your Elohim; thou shall not cut thyself nor make any baldness between thy eyes for the dead; 
For it is unclean, and you art a holy people unto YHVH, thy Elohim; and YHVH hath chosen you to be a peculiar people unto Himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth. 
And when YHVH shall give thee a victory over thy enemies, thou shalt commemorate it with monuments and inscriptions; 
But over the graves of persecutors and blasphemers, and they who shed the blood of the innocent, and at the places of their abominations shalt thou pile rough stones, with muttered curses, against the day of the resurrection of damnation; 
And thou shalt teach thy children to add a stone to the pile as they pass by, and to curse any that remove the stones, and cleaves unto their wickedness.

Chapter 13

The Release of YHVH

At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release, and this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth unto their neighbor shall release it; 
They shall not exact it of their neighbor or of their brother because it is called the release of YHVH. 
Of the foreigner thou mayest exact it again; but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release, save when there shall be no poor among you; 
For YHVH, thy Elohim, shall greatly bless thee in the land which He giveth thee for an inheritance, to possess it, only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of YHVH, thy Elohim, to observe to do all these mitzvah which I instruct thee this day; 
For YHVH, thy Elohim, hath blessed thee, as He promised thee; and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee. 
¶ And if there be among you a poor Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman within any of thy gates in thy land which YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother or sister; 
But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto them and shalt surely gift them sufficient for their need, in that which they wanteth. 
Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying: The seventh year, the year of Jubilee, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother or sister, and thou givest them naught; 
And then these should cry unto YHVH against thee, for it would be sin unto thee. 
Yea, thou shalt surely give them, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto them, and for this thing YHVH, thy Elohim, shall bless thee in all thy works and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto; 
For the poor shall never cease out of the land; therefore, I command thee, saying: Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brothers and sisters, to thy poor, and to thy needy in thy land. 
¶ And if a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman be sold unto thee and serve thee six years, then in the seventh year thou shalt let them go free from thee. 
And when thou sendest them out free from thee, thou shalt not let them go away empty handed; 
Thou shalt furnish them liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress; of that wherewith YHVH, thy Elohim, hath blessed thee, thou shalt give unto them. 
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a slave in the land of Egypt, and that YHVH, thy Elohim, redeemed thee; therefore, I instruct thee this thing today. 
And it shall be, if they say unto thee: I will not go away from thee, because they loveth thee and thine house, because they are well with thee, 
Then thou shall go before thy judge, and set their wages, that they may stay with thee and thy house, and it shall be a generous wage. 
And if the wage set be greater than thou canst bear, it shall not seem hard unto thee when thou sendest them away free from thee; 
For they have been worth double the hired servant to thee in serving thee six years; and YHVH, thy Elohim, shall bless thee in all that thou doest. 
¶ This is the Torah of the servant taken captive in war, and of the servant bought with money, and of the servant born in thy house, and of him who cleaveth unto thee that thou mayest be a ruler unto them: 
Behold, these shall be unto thee next to thy child; and thou shalt seek to establish them; for their greatness is thy glory. 
And if they be content to abide in thy household, thou shall appoint them their food, their raiment, and their habitation, in due season; 
And they shall labor in thy shop, and in they field, and with thy flock; therefore, they shall share in all thy toils, and in all thy possessions, and thou shall be as a ruler over them. 
And should they serve thee, thou shall not cast them off forever; but if thou wouldst oppress them, and they flee from thee, no one shall not return them to thee, lest thy hand be hard upon them. 
¶ Behold, this Torah doeth not justify slavery; servitude is voluntary, and every servant in thy house may depart from oppression, at their will. 
And if thy brethren or the neighbors of a ruler should join themselves unto them, they shall appoint unto them duty and reward, according to their rank, and ability, and faithfulness: 
Yea, in their household they shall be as sons and daughter; and with him, and with his heir, shall possess his inheritance, that they together, being strong, may wax exceedingly great.

Chapter 14

The Three Sabbaths

Observe the first month, and keep the Passover unto YHVH, thy Elohim; for in the first month YHVH, thy Elohim, brought thee forth out of Egypt by night; 
Thou shalt, therefore, sacrifice the Passover unto YHVH, thy Elohim, of the flock and the herd, in the place where YHVH shall choose to place His name there. 
Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life. 
And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy lands for seven days; neither shall any of the flesh which thou sacrifice the first day remain until the morning. 
Thou shall offer the sacrifice of the Passover at the place which YHVH, thy Elohim, shall choose to place His name in, 
There thou shalt sacrifice the Passover at the evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt, 
And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which YHVH, thy Elohim, shall choose; and thou shalt turn in the morning and go unto thy tents. 
Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread; and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to YHVH, thy Elohim; thou shalt do no work therein. 
Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee; begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn, 
And thou shalt keep the Yom HaBikkurim unto YHVH, thy Elohim, with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto YHVH, thy Elohim, according as YHVH, thy Elohim, hath blessed thee; 
And thou shalt rejoice before YHVH, thy Elohim, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow that are among you, in the place which YHVH, thy Elohim, hath chosen to place His name there. 
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt; and thou shalt observe and do these statutes. 
¶ Thou shalt observe Chag HaAsif seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine; 
And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow that are within thy gates. 
Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto YHVH, thy Elohim, in the place which YHVH shall choose; 
And this because YHVH, thy Elohim, shall bless thee in all thine increase and in all the works of thine hands; therefore, thou shalt surely rejoice. 
¶ Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before YHVH, thy Elohim, in the place which He shall choose: in the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and in Yom HaBikkurim, and in Chag HaAsif; and they shall not appear before YHVH empty handed. 
Everyone shall give as they are able, according to the blessing of YHVH, thy Elohim, which He hath given thee.

Chapter 15

Judges and Judgment

And when thou art come unto the land which YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which YHVH, thy Elohim, shall giveth thee, throughout thy tribes; and they shall judge the people with just judgment. 
And judges shall be appointed in all the cities, three to a city, and more if the people require it: 
All of these shall be Elders of the people; who shall sit upon the judgment seat of the city and judge all the causes which shall come before them; even all that shall be appointed unto them to judge. 
And these shall sit in judgment, on the judgment seat in within their gates, to do justice unto all mankind; and shall render speedy judgment upon all who have violated these Laws. 
And thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take bribes; for such gifts blind the eyes of the wise and pervert the words of the righteous. 
And honorable men shall be called to execute their judgment upon all who obey not, and shall bring before them the peacebreakers, and all who do violence. 
¶ And men who know shall be set apart to bring the disobedient, the stiff-necked, the peacebreakers, and all who have done great wickedness, before the judges, and shall execute their judgment on all who withstand it and obey not. 
¶ And in every village an Elder shall be appointed to oversee, to teach, and to instruct: and he shall govern the village according to this Torah, and if there be other Elders, they also shall give honor unto him. 
And these shall rule within thy gates, according to this Torah, and they shall instruct the people in that city, everyone in their order. 
And unto these shall the people of that city give heed; and unto everyone where he administers. 
That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live and inherit the land which YHVH, thy Elohim, shall giveth thee. 
¶ Thou shalt not plant thee any obelisk for other elohim near unto the altar of YHVH, thy Elohim, which thou shalt make thee, neither shalt thou set thee up any graven images, which YHVH, thy Elohim, hateth. 
And if there any be found among you, within any of thy gates which YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of YHVH, thy Elohim, in transgressing His covenant, 
And hath gone and served other elohim and worshiped them; be that the sun, or moon, or any of the host of the heavens, which I have not commanded, 
And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it and inquired diligently, and behold, it be true and the thing certain that such detestable thing is wrought in Israel, 
Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman which have committed that wicked thing unto the judge appointed at thy gates, even that man or that woman, and ye shalt cast them out from before you. 
¶ And if anyone should be guilty of murder by the mouth of two or three witnesses, they shall be worthy of death and shall be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness they shall not be put to death. 
The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon them to put them to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. 
And after this manner ye shalt put the evil away from among you. 
¶ If there arise a matter too hard for judge that shall be in those days in judgment between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates, then shalt thou arise and get thee up into the place which YHVH, thy Elohim, shall choose. 
And thou shalt come unto the Priests, the Levites, and unto these thou shall inquire; and they shall show thee the sentence of judgment; 
And thou shalt do according to the sentence which they of that place, which YHVH shall choose, shall show thee by the divination of the Priest; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee; 
According to the sentence of the Torah which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: 
Thou shalt not abate from the sentence which they shall show thee, to the right hand nor to the left. 
And anyone that will do presumptuously and will not hearken unto the judge, or the Priest that standeth to minister there before YHVH, thy Elohim; even that one shall be cast out from among you; 
And this that thou shalt put away evil from Israel, and all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.

Chapter 16

A King over Israel

And when thou art come unto the land which YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say: I will set a king over me like as all the nations that are about me, 
And when thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom YHVH, thy Elohim, shall choose; one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee; thou mayest not set a stranger over thee which is not thy brother. 
But he shall not multiply horses to himself nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses; forasmuch as YHVH hath said unto you: Ye shall henceforth return no more that way; 
Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away; neither shall he greatly multiply silver and gold unto himself. 
¶ And when the king sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom and ruleth, he shall write for him a copy of the Book of HaTorah, according to that which is before YHVH continually, out of that which is before the Priests, the Levites; 
And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life that he may learn to reverence YHVH, his Elohim, 
And to keep all the words of this Torah and these ordinances before him continually, to do them, and forget not to administer justice and judgment throughout the land; 
That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren and that he turn not aside from his mitzvoth, to the right hand or to the left; 
And this that he might prolong his days in the land YHVH, thy Elohim, shall give thee, and of his children among the faithful, and that he may prolong his days, he and his children, in the midst of Israel. 
¶ And the king shall execute judgment among the people, and over the rulers, and over all they that sit in judgment: 
He shall deliver the poor, the needy, and the oppressed; and if their cry be faint, yet shall he hear them; 
He shall be a father to the fatherless, and a husband to the widow, and a guardian to they who hath no protector. 
In the name of YHVH, thy Elohim, he shall overthrow the rebellious, destroy traitors, and punish those that do wickedly; 
The haughty shall he make low, and the oppressor shall he tread down, and those that exalt themselves, shall he abase. 
The power of YHVH, his Elohim, shall He giveth him, to rule the nations, and to execute judgments among the children of mankind; 
He shall declare this Torah and the mitzvoth of YHVH, thy Elohim, exercise his dominion, and cast a shield round about the children of this people; that his dominion be not taken from him forever. 
And the king shall not multiply to himself horses, nor carriages; he shall not multiply to himself ships; he shall not multiply to himself armor; 
Yet the king shall have all these to defend his people, and the children of his people, but never to oppress them. 
¶ The king shall not multiply to himself wives; lest he forget the Torah, and avenge not his people, and lest his heart turn from them to strange women. 
Neither shall he multiply to himself servants of the children of his people; lest his yoke be oppressive. 
The king shall not multiply to himself silver and gold; lest he be proud, and turn away from this Torah, and obey it not; 
Neither shall he lead his people to strange places to dwell therein, which YHVH, thy Elohim, hath not appointed for their dwelling; lest they depart from the Torah, and despise it. 
The king shall not make other laws, despising this; but all his laws and commandments shall be according to the Torah of YHVH, thy Elohim, to establish it; 
For whatsoever YHVH, thy Elohim, shall speak, the king shall decree, and YHVH shall alter it as seemeth good unto Him, and none shall hinder. 
¶ And the king shall be aided by a council of wise men and women, chosen from among this people, learned in the Torah of YHVH, and faithful unto YHVH; 
These shall assemble before the king in council, as often as he shall require, to give him advice in whatsoever matter he shall ask of them. 
The king may give unto the a portion of the affairs of Israel, giving to each his due, even as the king shall require it. 
Those belonging to this council shall dwell near the king; they shall attend him on his journeys, if he should require it: 
And these shall each give him reason, wise counsel, and advise him of whatsoever matter he shall require, and shall keep nothing back, fearing not retribution. 
Each member of the council shall keep the charge which the king should give unto them, in their several duties and shall be a faithful steward of whatsoever in Israel shall be rendered unto them, with a just account of their stewardship. 
And the counselors of the king shall be chosen by him as seemeth him good, being just men and women, learned in the Torah, not proud, nor haughty; not given to much babbling. 
And they shall keep the secrets of the king all the days of their lives; and if they serve the king well, they shall be rewarded; 
But if they are unfaithful, they shall be frowned upon, and he may choose new counselors, as seemeth him good. 
¶ And the king shall appoint wise men and women, learned in the Torah of YHVH, lovers of righteousness, not fearing the rich, nor despising the poor, to be judges; who shall sit before him continually, to judge all great causes. 
These shall sit upon the judgment seat of the king, and the ear of the judges shall never be closed, that they cannot hear; this is the court of the king. 
And the king may appoint twelve judges to this court, if so many are needed; all of these shall be loyal to El Elyon; for the judging of all matters greatly; 
But all the smaller matters may be judged by other judges, as the king shall appoint, that these may judge the larger causes continually, and that they judge upon the judgment of other judges. 
And the king shall order and determine what causes shall come before the court of the king, upon his judgment seat to be judged, and what causes shall be judged before the other judgment seats. 
And the judges shall hear and judge, and determine speedily, they shall not delay; and they shall judge righteous judgment, and shall not take them any bribes or gifts, nor shall they do any injustice. 
And if these judges should judge unrighteously, or refuse judgment to the just, or despise the Torah, or receive any bribes, they shall be removed. 
When they have served faithfully, they shall be relieved from their duties in their age and infirmity. 
These men shall execute all the orders of the judge, and shall be a fear unto the disorderly, and all revilers; yea, they shall do whatsoever the judges command. 
And the chief among them shall be the steward of the substance of the king, which he committeth to the judges, and shall render a just account of his stewardship to the king.

Chapter 17

In Thy Generations

And when thou art come unto the land which YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shall begin to build ye up villages, towns, and cities, in every village an Elder shall be appointed to rule, to teach, and to instruct. 
And these shall govern the village according to the Torah, and the command of the king, when thou shall desire a king to be over thee; 
And unto these shall the Priests and teachers give heed; and if there be other Elders, they also shall give heed to him. 
¶ And ye shall not scatter abroad, after the manner of the sons of man, nor dwell alone in the fields; ye shall dwell together in cities, in towns, and in villages. 
Your inheritances shall be appointed to you, both in the places of your dwelling, and in the fields and forests round about. 
In the fields and forests of these new lands thou may go and dwell, when thou labor there, but thou shall return; and thy treasures, thy granaries, and thy storehouses, shall be at the place of thy dwellings. 
And if thou would in any wise go and dwell among strangers to gain power over them, or to get riches, or for any other reason whatsoever, thou shall not go except by permission of they whom YHVH shall call to watch over thee, 
And thou shall do as these command, lest ye be led away of thy own lusts, and be estranged from YHVH, thy Elohim, and be cast off forever; 
Moreover, if ye go without permission, thou shall be spoiled of thy goods; and except thou repent and return, thou shall not have a place in the congregation before YHVH. 
¶ Thou shall not cut down the timber on the hills and mountains, lest your children suffer for want of wood and water. 
Thou shall not destroy the groves along the shores of the lakes and ponds, lest the winds and storms make the land desolate, and both heat and cold destroy you; 
Therefore, thou shall cause them to grow continually, and they shall beautify your inheritance, and thy children shall rise up and call thee blessed. 
All those who receiveth an inheritance shall preserve a forest thereon, that their children may walk in the shade thereof, and may build houses and prepare food; 
And that their cattle faint not with heat or drought, nor perish in the blast; and the land yield her increase; and if there no be enough trees for there to be a forest, thou shall plant them. 
¶ Thou shall preserve the trees by the wayside; and if there be none, thou shall plant them, whether it be in the cities, towns, or villages, or the fields and forests, thou shall do it. 
And all these things shall thou do as thy rulers shall appoint and shall Rulers determine, that the land be pleasant to thy offspring. 
¶ And in your cities, and towns, and villages, and by the side of great waters, and ponds, and running streams, and springs, shall groves be appointed to you, that the aged and the young may go there to rest and to play. 
There, ye shall all find joy in these things. 
And unto Israel shall the seas and waters be the highways; there all may pass in their vessels that thou mayest travel them and no one shall hinder thee. 
And the deserts, and the forests, and the waste places; these too shall be as highways for Israel; thou mayest pass over them, and none shall prevent thee. 
¶ And in this land that YHVH shall give thee, thou shall not clothe thyself after the manner of other nations; but after the manner that is seemly and convenient: thou shall clothe yourselves, placing the tzitzits in the four corners of thy garments throughout all your generations, 
And this that thou shalt look upon it and remember all thy mitzvoth and be holy unto thy Elohim. 
And when ye shall demand for yourselves a king, your king, and your princes, and your judges and rulers shall clothe themselves according to their dignity; 
And the Priest who administers at the altar, and he who administers in the sacraments which I appoint unto you, shall clothe in the robes of their offices. 
And all the people in their solemn assemblies, and in their gatherings together, shall clothe themselves according to the mitzvah of YHVH, thy Elohim; 
And thy ornaments, and thy apparel, shall everyone wear, even as YHVH did appoint; everyone in their own order, with the tzitzits in the four corners of thy garments, and upon the tzitzit a blue thread.

Chapter 18

In Support of the Priests

The Priests, the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel; they shall eat the offerings of YHVH made by fire and his inheritance; 
Therefore, they shall have no inheritance among their brethren; for YHVH is their inheritance, even as He hath said unto them. 
And this shall be the due from the people to the Priests, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep: 
And they shall give unto the Priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw. 
The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep shalt thou give unto them; 
For YHVH, thy Elohim, hath chosen them out of all thy tribes to stand to minister in the name of YHVH, him and his sons forever. 
And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which YHVH shall choose, 
Then he shall minister in the name of YHVH, his Elohim, as all his brethren, the Levites, do which stand there before YHVH. 
They shall have like portions to eat, besides that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony. 
¶ And all the fruit of thy fields, and the increase of thy flocks, a tenth shall you render to the house of YHVH, thy Elohim; 
And this that the Priest who administers in holy things may eat bread, and that the land might yield her increase. 
For should thou do not these things, the Priest shall fail to instruct thy and thy children; 
And the order of the house where YHVH should dwell shall be forgotten and righteousness shall cease; 
Then shall wickedness be in the midst of thee, and oppression come upon thee. 
¶ Moreover, YHVH shall send enemies into the lands, and these shall exact that which thou hath withheld from Him, and shall wrest it from you with increase; and if thou should resist them, thou shall be destroyed; 
Therefore, all of the spoil which Israel should take from her enemies, a tenth shall be rendered to the Priests of YHVH, thy Elohim, 
That they who administer in holy things may remember thee before YHVH, and that YHVH might deliver thee: 
And should thou do not this, ye shall not go fourth with a blessing, and shall flee before thy enemies, and none shall deliver thee. 
¶ And they that labor not in these things, these shall give one tenth of their time, consecrated unto YHVH, thy Elohim, and shall labor on behalf of the Priest, according to thy skill, and thy cunning, and thy art, and you shall not withhold; 
That the place of YHVH among you may not be wanting, and not fail, and that thou might possess abundantly fields, flocks, and habitations: 
For should thou do not these things, thou shall not prosper in the work of thy hands, and poverty shall be in thy dwellings; 
Moreover, the robbers shall take thy goods and substance from Israel, to recompense what Israel hath defrauded YHVH with increase. 
And whosoever cometh into Israel, a tenth of all they possesses shall they give, that they might have an everlasting inheritance therein; and until they do this, no inheritance shall be given them.

Chapter 19

Of Priestcraft and the Prophets

¶ And when thou art come into the land which YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the loathsome acts of those nations: 
There shall not be found among you anyone who doeth sacrificeth his son or daughter in the fire, or that practiceth qasam, or the soothsayer, or an enchanter, or that practice priestcraft, 
Or the spell castor, or that consult with necromancer or the familiar spirit, or the necromanced; 
For all that do these things are loathsome unto YHVH; and because of these detestable things, YHVH, thy Elohim, doth drive them out from before thee. 
And thou shalt be without blemish, even as YHVH, thy Elohim who is perfect; 
For these nations which thou shalt possess hearkened unto soothsaying of times and unto qasamim; but as for thee, YHVH, thy Elohim, hath not suffered thee so to do. 
¶ YHVH, thy Elohim, will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken, 
According to all that thou desiredst of YHVH, thy Elohim, in the day of the assembly, saying: Who is there of all flesh that hath heard the voice of the living YHVH speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived? 
But go thou, Moses, near and hear all that YHVH, our Elohim, shall say; and speak thou unto us all that YHVH, our Elohim, shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it and do it. 
And YHVH said unto me: They have well spoken that which they have spoken. 
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 
And it shall come to pass that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. 
But the prophet which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other elohim, even that prophet shall die. 
And if thou say in thine heart: How shall we know the word which YHVH hath not spoken? 
When a prophet speaketh in the name of YHVH, if the thing follow not nor come to pass, that is the thing which YHVH hath not spoken; but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously; thou shalt not be afraid of him.

Chapter 20

Balance in Judgment

And when the time should come that YHVH, thy Elohim, hath cut off the nations whose land YHVH shall giveth thee, and thou succeedest them and dwellest in their cities and in their houses, 
Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land which YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee to possess. 
And thou shalt prepare thee a way and divide the coasts of thy land, which YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither. 
And this is the case of the slayer which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbor ignorantly, whom he intended not to hurt in time past: 
If the man goeth into the wood with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve and lighteth upon his neighbor, that he die, he shall flee unto one of those cities and live, 
Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past. 
Wherefore, I command thee, saying: Thou shalt separate three cities for thee. 
¶ And if YHVH, thy Elohim, enlarge thy coast as He hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which He promised to give unto thy fathers, 
If thou shalt keep all these mitzvoth to do them, which I command thee this day, to love YHVH, thy Elohim, and to walk ever in His ways, then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three, 
And this that innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee. 
¶ But if any man hateth his neighbor, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities, 
Then the Elders of his city shall send, and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die. 
And thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee. 
¶ Thou shalt not remove the landmark of thy neighbor, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee to possess it. 
One witness shall not rise up against anyone for any iniquity or for any sin, in any sin that they sinneth; at the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses shall the matter be established. 
And if a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong, then both between whom the controversy is, shall stand before YHVH, before the Priests and the judges, which shall be in those days; 
And the judges shall make diligent inquisition; and behold, if the witness be a false witness and hath testified falsely against his brother, 
Then shall ye do unto him as he had thought to have done unto his brother; so shalt thou put the evil away from among you. 
And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you. 
And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

Chapter 21

In War

And when thou goest out to battle against thine enemies and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them; 
For YHVH, thy Elohim, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, is with thee. 
¶ And it shall come to pass that when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the Priest shall approach, 
And they shall speak unto the people, and shall say: Hear, O Israel! Ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies; let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble; neither be ye terrified because of them; 
For YHVH, your Elohim, is He that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. 
¶ And it shall come to pass that the officers shall speak unto the people, saying: Who is there that hath built a new house and hath not dedicated it?Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man dedicate it. 
And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard and hath not yet eaten of it? Let him also go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle and another man eat of it. 
And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife and hath not taken her? Let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle and another man be with her. 
And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say: What man is there that is fearful and faint of heart? 
Let him go and return unto his house, lest the heart of his brethren faint as well as his heart. 
And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people. 
¶ When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it; 
And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace and open unto thee, then it shall be that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee. 
¶ And if it will make no peace with thee but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege them. 
And when YHVH, thy Elohim, hath delivered them into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword; 
But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies which YHVH, thy Elohim, hath given thee. 
Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations. 
¶ But of the cities of these people, which YHVH, thy Elohim, doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth; 
But thou shalt utterly destroy them: namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites as YHVH, thy Elohim, hath commanded thee, 
That they do not teach you to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their elohim; so should ye sin against YHVH, your Elohim. 
And when thou shalt besiege a city a long time in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them; for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down to employ them in the siege; 
Only the trees which thou knowest that they be not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee until it be subdued.

Chapter 22

The Rebel

And if one be found slain in the land which YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him, 
Then thy Elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain; 
And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain man, even the Elders of that city shall take a heifer which hath not been wrought with and which hath not drawn in the yoke; 
And the Elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the neck of that heifer there in the valley. 
And the Priests, the sons of Levi, shall come near; for them YHVH, thy Elohim, hath chosen to minister unto Him and to bless in the name of YHVH; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried; 
And all the Elders of that city that are next unto the slain man shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley; 
And they shall answer and say: Our hands have not shed this blood; neither have our eyes seen it. 
Be merciful, O YHVH, unto thy people, Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. 
And the blood shall be forgiven them. 
So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of YHVH. 
¶ And when thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and YHVH, thy Elohim, hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive, 
And thou seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife, 
Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall shave her head and pare her nails; 
And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month; 
And after that, thou shalt go in unto her and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife. 
And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money; thou shalt not make merchandise of her because thou hast humbled her. 
¶ And if a man hath two wives, one beloved and another hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated, and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated, 
Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn; 
But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn by giving him a double portion of all that he hath; for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his. 
¶ And if a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them, 
Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him and bring him out unto the Elders of that city and unto the gate of his place; 
And they shall say unto the Elders of that city: This, our son, is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard. 
And all the men of his city shall cast him out from among them; so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear and reverence. 
¶ And if anyone should committed a sin worthy of death, and they are to be put to death, and thou shall hang that body from a tree, 
And his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that same day that thy land not be cursed; 
Curse not the land which YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee for an inheritance, defile it not.

Chapter 23

Sins of Men

Thou shalt not see the ox of thy brother or his sheep go astray and hide thyself from them; thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother. 
And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house; and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it and thou shalt restore it to him again. 
In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost things of thy brother, which he hath lost and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise; thou mayest not hide thyself. 
Thou shalt not see the ass of thy brother or his ox fall down by the way and hide thyself from them; thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again. 
¶ The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man; neither shall a man put on the garment of a woman; for this thing is detestable before YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ If the nest of a bird should chance to be before thee in the way in any tree or on the ground, whether they be young ones or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the hen with the young; 
But thou shalt in any wise let the mother go and take the young to thee, that it may be well with thee and that thou mayest prolong thy days. 
¶ When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt construct a railing for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house if any man fall from thence. 
¶ Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds, lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown and the fruit of thy vineyard be defiled. 
¶ Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together. 
¶ Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woolen and linen together. 
¶ Thou shalt make thee tzitzits upon the four quarters of thy clothing wherewith thou coverest thyself. 
¶ If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her, and give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say: I took this woman; and when I came to her, I found her unfaithful, 
Then shall the father of the damsel and her mother take and bring forth the tokens of the virginity of that woman unto the Elders of the city in the gate; 
And the father of the woman shall say unto the Elders: I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her; 
And behold, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying: I found not thy daughter unfaithful; and yet these are the tokens of the faithfulness of my daughter. 
And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city, and the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him; 
And they shall amerce him in a hundred shekels of silver and give them unto the father of the damsel because he hath brought up an evil name upon a young woman of Israel; and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days. 
But if this thing be true and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel, then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of house of her father; 
And the men of her city shall cast her out from among them, because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the harlot in the house of her father; so shalt thou put evil away from among you. 
¶ If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them be cast out, both the man that lay with the woman and the woman; so shalt thou put away evil from Israel. 
¶ If a young woman be betrothed unto a husband, and a man find her in the city and lie with her, and she be willing, 
Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall cast them out from among you; so thou shalt put away evil from among you. 
But if a man should force her and lie with her, then the man that lay with her shall die; 
And unto the young woman, thou shalt do nothing; there is in the young woman no sin, and she be a virgin; for as when a man riseth against his neighbor and slayeth him, even so is this matter; 
For he found her; and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her. 
¶ And if a man find a woman that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her and lie with her, and she be willing, 
Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the father of that young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife because he hath lain with her; he may not put her away all his days. 
¶ A man shall not take the wife of his father to marry, for this would dishonor their marriage bed.

Chapter 24

Avoid Wickedness

Thou shalt not hate the Edomite, for these are thy brother and thy sister; thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian because thou wast a stranger in their land. 
¶ When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing. 
If there be among you any man that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp; he shall not come within the camp; 
But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash himself with water; and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again. 
¶ Thou shalt have a place also without the camp whither thou shalt go forth abroad; 
And thou shalt have a shovel upon thy weapon; and it shall be that when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee; 
For YHVH, thy Elohim, walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy, that He see no unclean thing in thee and turn away from thee. 
¶ Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee; 
They shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place which they shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh them best; thou shalt not oppress them. 
¶ There shall be no temple prostitutes from the sons or the daughters of Israel. 
Thou shalt not bring the hire of a prostitute, be they male or female, into the house of YHVH, thy Elohim, for any oath; for it is detestable unto YHVH, thy Elohim, to prostitute thyself in His name. 
¶ Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother: usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of anything that is lent upon usury. 
Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury, that YHVH, thy Elohim, may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it. 
¶ And when thou shalt make an oath unto YHVH, thy Elohim, thou shalt not slack to pay it; for YHVH, thy Elohim, will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee. 
But if thou shalt refrain from making any oaths, there can be no sin in thee. 
That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform, even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto YHVH, thy Elohim, which thou hast promised with thy mouth. 
¶ And when thou comest into the vineyard of thy neighbor, then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel. 
And when thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbor, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto the standing corn of thy neighbor. 
Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. 
¶ And if men fight one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the genitals, thou shalt cut off her hand; thine eye shall not pity her. 
¶ Thou shalt not have in thy bag multiple weights, one heavy and light one; 
Thou shalt not have in thine house two measures, one larger and one smaller; 
But thou shalt have a just and accurate weight; a just and accurate measure, and this that thy days may be lengthened in the land which YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee; 
For all that do such things and all that do unrighteously are detestable unto YHVH, thy Elohim. 
And if thou should commit a sin against YHVH, or do an evil thing unto thy fellow man, thou shalt go unto the Priest, wheresoever thou art, 
And between he and thee alone shalt thou confess unto him, and shalt keep nothing back; 
And the Priest shall lay upon thee restitution, and penance, and in righteousness shall be thy judge; 
And thou shalt do that which he judgeth, according to all the words of the Torah of YHVH, thy Elohim, and YHVH shall forgive thee thy sin, according as thy Elohim hath spoken. 
And thou shalt in all things make restitution, as the Priest judgeth thee; 
And should he require thee to confess unto the judge who sitteth in judgment, or to any who is placed in authority, or to him thou hast injured, thou shalt do it; and otherwise thy sin remaineth upon thee.

Chapter 25

In Marriage

And when thou takest a wife, thou shalt take such a one as thou lovest, and who loveth thee, and whom thou mayest lawfully marry: 
And thou shalt go before the Priest, or the Chief Elder where thou dwellest and by him shall ye be joined in marriage, that she may be thine. 
And they who joineth you in marriage, shall unite her unto thee by a bond; and thou shall love her, and cherish her, and protect her; and she should love thee, and nourish thee, and honor thee. 
¶ But when a man hath taken a wife and married her and it come to pass that she find no favor in his eyes because he hath found some uncleanness in her, then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. 
And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be the wife of another man. 
And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house, or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife, 
Her former husband, he who did send her away, may not take her again to be his wife that thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee for an inheritance. 
¶ When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war; neither shall he be charged with any business; but he shall be free at home one year and shall be of cheer unto his wife which he hath taken. 
¶ No man shall take the pledge of the lower or the upper millstone; for he taketh to pledge the life of Adam. 
¶ If a man be found stealing any of the children in Israel and maketh merchandise of them or selleth them, then that thief shall be put to death; thou shalt put evil away from among you. 
¶ Take heed in the plague of tzara’at, that thou observe diligently and do according to all that the Priests, the Levites, shall teach you; as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do. 
Remember what YHVH, thy Elohim, did unto Miriam by the way after that ye were come forth out of Egypt. 
¶ And if thou should adopt a child to be thine own, and to be heir to thee, thou shalt take them whom thou lovest, and whom thou mayest lawfully take; and thou shalt go before the Elders where thou dwellest, and thou shalt take the child, and clasp them in thine arms, and shalt protest that thou lovest them as thine own flesh; 
And the High Priest shall seal them unto you in the name of YHVH, and shall wash them, and consecrate them as thy flesh. 
And after this, the Elder or the Priest shall bless you, and bless those in thy house; and the child shall be yours forever. 
YHVH shall give you to be a father unto them, and unto thee and thy spouse to honor thee, their parents. 
¶ And if brethren dwell together and one of them die and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger; the brother of her husband shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto her. 
And it shall be that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel. 
And if the man does not wish to take the wife of his brother, then let the wife of his brother go up to the gate unto the Elders and say: The brother of my husband refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of my husband's brother. 
Then the Elders of that city shall call him and speak unto him; and if he stand to it and say: I will not marry her, 
Then the wife of his brother shall come unto him in the presence of the Elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say: So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house. 
And his name shall be called in Israel: The house of chalutz han-Na’al. 
¶ Thou shalt be fruitful and multiply and replenish the land which YHVH, thy Elohim, shall give thee, and subdue it, lest it be waste and desolate, and thy name be lost in the generations to come: 
But all thy children shall be of thy wives; thou shalt not go after strange women, for so should the land be corrupt under thy feet; an abhorring to the righteous; and thy children be scattered abroad; 
And in the mixing of thy seed there should be barrenness and desolation; the corruption of the flesh, and disease and anguish. 
¶ Thou shalt not marry thy mother, nor thy daughter, in any line, unto all generations. 
Thou shalt not marry thy sister, nor the daughter of thy sister or thy brother, or the sister of thy father or thy mother. 
Thou shalt not marry a woman and her daughter, and this unto all generations. 
¶ Thou shalt not marry a woman in her childhood; nor anyone that has abandoned the Covenant, nor one possessed of evil spirits, nor anyone not of sound mind; 
Nor anyone thou lovest not, or who loveth thee not; not by cunning nor by force, but in affection, one to the other. 
¶ Thou shalt not take unto thyself a multitude of wives disproportionate to thy inheritance, and thy substance; 
Nor shalt thou take wives to vex those thou hast; neither shalt thou put away one to take another. 
¶ Thou shalt not put away thy husband or thy wife but for adultery; the adulterer and the adulteress that shall not repent is corrupt, for these have been given over to the corruptions of their flesh, that her belly may swell and her thigh rot, and he be found dead in his tent; 
And that these be a warning and a proverb: If these should repent in dust and ashes for a long time, they may be forgiven; yet if the bill of divorcement hath been given, then is she not thy wife; 
If ye would be one flesh, thou shalt marry again. 
¶ Thou shalt not lie with the wife of thy neighbor; for it is loathsome; 
Neither shalt thou take her to wife; she cannot be thine; and if he stone thee to death, no man shall hinder: thou shalt not be avenged; what he doeth, he shall do speedily in his passion against thee. 
¶ Thou shalt offer up thy daughter in marriage while she is yet young; and if thou give her not till she hath been in her prime, she may give herself in marriage; thou hath been found neglectful, and shalt not prevent her. 
Likewise, thou shalt take a wife to thy son while he is yet young; yet not in his infantile impotence; 
And thou shalt take for him one that he loveth, and who loveth him; if thou doest it not, when he hath been grown seven years he may take one to himself and thou shalt not prevent him. 
Shouldest thou covenant to marry a woman, be she young or old, thou shalt not break thy covenant; thou shalt not draw back from thy promise; 
¶ And if thou lie with a woman, and she conceive seed of thee, thou shall love her, and shall take her to wife; thou shalt not bring her shame upon her; 
And if thou should abandon her, and her brethren shall stone thee, and none shall deliver thee; and yet thou shalt be judged for thy faithlessness; 
And if she be thy servant, or the daughter of thy servant, and her brethren fear thee, the hand of the Elders shall be against thee; thou shalt not corrupt the poor, nor bring shame upon them.

Chapter 26

Inheritance

And again, if thy brother have an inheritance, and die leaving a wife, but no seed, thou shalt take her to wife, and raise up seed to thy brother, that his name be not lost among this people; 
And thou shalt possess the inheritance with her, till the seed be grown up to possess it; 
And if he had but a portion, it shall be thine, and the seed also. 
But, if she love thee not, or thou wilt not take her, this right goeth to the next kinsman; but no one shall take the inheritance or portion without her. 
¶ Moreover, if thou takest a widow in marriage, and she have been joined to another for time and eternity, thou shalt only take her for life; 
And should ye bare seed before you have been married a full year, it shall be expressly determined whose the seed is; whether thine, or the husband whose widow she is. 
And if thou should marry a wife having children, and they have no father in the Kingdom, and she bring them to thee, they are thine; thou shalt receive them, and establish them. 
¶ If a woman, be she young or old, obtain a good report through faith, and is chosen of YHVH, thy Elohim, to be a queen and a ruler over her house, she shall have an inheritance appointed to her, with her husband or her brethren, that she may possess it, and her children with her, and that she may rule over all her house. 
¶ And should a man die leaving sons, his inheritance shall belong to them, and it may be parted among them; 
And to the firstborn, or he that is worthy to be so reckoned, shall be given a double portion, that he may keep up the dignity of his father’s house. 
The sons which he hath adopted shall be reckoned with the sons he hath begotten; they are his; 
However, if any of his sons have received an inheritance already, they shall not receive another portion with their father’s children. 
¶ None shall receive two inheritances, lest their neighbor have none; yet if they should receive another, or if he marry an heiress, they shall surely give up the former, that it may be given to they who hath none, or who lacketh a portion. 
¶ And should a man die having no sons, but daughters, the inheritance shall belong to them; 
And they who shall take them to wife, shall be called after the name of their fathers, every man after the name of his wife’s father: otherwise they shall not possess the inheritance. 
But if he have neither sons nor daughters, and he be found a righteous man, then may the judge appoint his nearest kinsman who is found worthy, and is not the firstborn of his father, as his heir; 
And he who is thus appointed shall be called after the name of him who had no child; thus shall the name of his house be kept up; 
If not, then shall the judge take of his inheritance give it unto they who are in need of it. 
¶ If anyone should abandon their inheritance, that it be left to decay and waste, or become wild, that the portion of the house of YHVH, and the treasury of the land fail, then shall the rulers over that land take possession of it, and grant it to those in need, that their wants be met; 
But should the sons of he who has left his inheritance return, the shall shall render it unto them; 
And if that portion has been granted to another, then shall they be given another inheritance. 
¶ And should any desire to leave their inheritance and seek a place in another land which YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth, then shall they render to the rulers of that land their inheritance, 
And these shall appoint him another inheritance, that his children may possess it instead of the former, and his house and his name be not lost among Israel. 
¶ And should Israel seek men to go up to a new land to possess it by the command of YHVH, your Elohim, then shall the sons among you go up and establish their houses, 
And their names shall be named upon their inheritances, that they may be kept up forever; and these shall not inherit with their brethren of the possessions of their fathers. 
Thus shall everyone have an inheritance, or a portion, and they shall not be divided till they are too small for you. 
¶ If an inheritance hath been divided, and one who hath a portion should die leaving no child, or render it up to receive another, it shall not be given to a stranger to his house; but it shall return to the head of the family to whom the inheritance pertaineth. 
And should they die leaving no sons, but a daughter, and any of her kinsman who has also a portion of that inheritance take her to wife, he shall have her portion with her; 
Save it be be that she obtain a good report through faith, and is chosen of YHVH to be a queen and a ruler over her house, then she shall have an inheritance appointed to her that she may rule over all her house.

Chapter 27

Social Order

And when thou art come unto the land which YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, thou shalt not abide in the conversations of the ungodly; 
The corrupt desires of deceitful lusts; as an old man unchanged; but shalt be renewed in the spirit of thy heart; that thou be a new person, born anew in righteousness and true holiness. 
Wherefore, thou shall put away all lying: speak everyone truthfully unto their neighbor; let no corrupt communication proceed out of thy mouth; 
But that which is good, and edifying, and increasing faith ye shall speak; that it may minister grace to the hearers and that ye grieve not YHVH, thy Elohim. 
Put away thy anger, thy wrath, thy bitterness, and any malice; and be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as YHVH hath forgiveth you, walking together in love. 
¶ The primary authority over every child is the mother; the authority in any household is the patriarch of the family, the head of the house; to him let all give heed; but the Torah is over all. 
And should the patriarch die, his firstborn son is head in his stead; 
Nevertheless, in the dwelling, he shall not rule over the matriarch, nor his mother, nor the mother of his brothers; he shall honor them all the days of his life. 
¶ As it is written, thou shalt honor thy father and thy mother all thy days; thou shalt not depart from them, nor rebel against them; 
Thou shalt abide with them, except they send thee away with a blessing; that thou mayest build them up, or be established by thine own name. 
And thou shalt seek to establish thy sons; thou shalt build them up with thee, or part them a portion of thine inheritance, as shall be meet, that they may grow up, and in their honor bring honor to thee. 
¶ And of the widows, or the little children, or the servants, or any members of thy household, thou shalt provide for them according to their station, and thy possessions. 
If thou and thy household should do it not, they shall go before the Elders and the judge, and these shall appoint them their portion, as shall be just; but the inheritance shall remain one; 
Over the inheritance the firstborn shall have the highest portion; and his portion shall be double. 
And if anyone, having a portion, divideth it among his posterity, he need not to respect the firstborn; they shall do as seemeth them good. 
But if thy firstborn is not worthy to keep up the dignity of thy household, and thou wilt abase him, and exalt another in his stead, thou shalt bring him before the judges at the judgmentseat of the city, and show what evil he hath done; 
And if thou clearly show that he is unworthy, and that the other is worthy, the judge shall declare it; and then it shall come to pass that thou shalt abase him, and adopt the other; 
But if thou hast neglected to instruct him, and to restrain him, then so too shall the judge declare it, and thou shalt not abase him; the sin shall be upon thy head. 
¶ Thou shalt not sell thy daughter; thou shalt in no case take a price for her in marriage; 
But thou shalt endow her of raiment, and goods, and flocks, according to thine ability; and thou shalt give her in marriage only to whom she loveth, and who is worthy; 
Yea, thou shalt not give her to a stranger, nor to anyone that despises the Torah of YHVH, nor to a blasphemer. 
¶ And everyone may give a portion to their children, a dowry to his wives, and a possession to his servants, while he liveth; and except it is manifestly unjust, the judge shall not change it after their death; 
As it shall be determined by their last blessing, so shall it be; and if it be made sure before, it shall not be changed. 
¶ The rulers, yea they who have a great possession for an inheritance, according to their dignity, shall reserve a portion according to his dignity to the firstborn: 
And to their other sons shall they give portions as common men that they seek not to make rulers of them all. 
And should a ruler have servants, and they eat not their bread at his table, he shall appoint them their portions, in his inheritance, that they hunger not: 
And upon his inheritance he shall be as a father to them; but he shall not exact more than a tenth of them, and it shall be as a tithing of all.

Chapter 28

In Mercy

And when thou dost lend thy brother anything, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge. 
Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee. 
And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge; 
In any case, thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment and bless thee; and it shall be righteousness unto thee before YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Thou shalt not oppress a hired servant that is poor and needy, whether they be of thy brethren or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates; 
At their days thou shalt give them their hire; neither shall the sun go down upon it, for they are poor and setteth their heart upon it, lest they cry against thee unto YHVH, and it be sin unto thee. 
¶ The fathers shall not be put to death for the children; neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers; everyone shall be put to death for their own sin. 
¶ Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger nor of the fatherless nor take a widow's raiment to pledge; 
But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and YHVH, thy Elohim, redeemed thee thence; therefore, I command thee to do this thing. 
¶ When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow, that YHVH, thy Elohim, may bless thee in all the work of thine hands. 
And when thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. 
And when thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. 
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt; therefore, I command thee to do this thing. 
¶ And if there be any controversy between people and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them, then they shall justify the righteous and condemn the wicked. 
And it shall be, if the wicked one be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down and to be beaten before their face, according to their fault. 
They may be given forty stripes, but no more lest, they be seen as vile unto thee, and these are your brothers and sisters.

Chapter 29

The First Fruits

And it shall be that when thou art come in unto the land which YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein; 
That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which YHVH, thy Elohim, shall choose to place His name there. 
And thou shalt go unto the Priest that shall be in those days and say unto him: I profess this day unto YHVH, thy Elohim, that I am come unto the country which YHVH swore unto our fathers to give us. 
And the Priest shall take the basket out of thine hand and set it down before the altar of YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And thou shalt speak and say before YHVH, thy Elohim: An inhabitant, ready to perish was my father; and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous; 
And the Egyptians, in evil did they entreated us, and they afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage; 
And when we cried unto YHVH, the Elohim of our fathers, YHVH heard our voice and looked on our affliction, and our labor, and our oppression; 
And YHVH brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders; 
And YHVH hath brought us into this place and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey. 
And now, behold, I have brought the first fruits of the land which thou, O YHVH, hast given me. 
¶ And after this, thou shalt set it before YHVH, thy Elohim, and worship before YHVH, thy Elohim; 
And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which YHVH, thy Elohim, hath given unto thee and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is among you. 
When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates and be filled, 
¶ Then thou shalt say before YHVH, thy Elohim: I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy mitzvoth which thou hast given me; I have not transgressed thy mitzvoth; neither have I forgotten them. 
I have not eaten thereof in my mourning; neither have I taken away aught thereof for any unclean use nor given aught thereof for the dead; 
But I have hearkened to the Voice of YHVH, my Elohim, and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me. 
Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey. 
¶ And now, behold, this day YHVH, thy Elohim, hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments; thou shalt, therefore, keep and do them with all thine heart and with all thy soul. 
Thou hast affirmed YHVH this day to be thy Elohim, and to walk in His ways, and to keep His obligations, and His statutes, and His ordinances, and to hearken unto his Voice; 
And YHVH hath affirmed thee this day to be His peculiar people, as He hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all His mitzvoth, 
And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honor; and that thou mayest be a holy people unto YHVH, thy Elohim, as He hath spoken.

Chapter 30

The Two Mountains

And it came to pass that Moses, with the Elders of Israel commanded the people, saying: Keep all the mitzvoth which I command you this day. 
And it shall be, on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto the land which YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones and plaster them with plaster; 
And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this Torah when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as YHVH, the Elohim of thy fathers hath promised thee; 
Therefore, it shall be, when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day; and thou shalt plaster them with plaster. 
And there shalt thou build an altar unto YHVH, thy Elohim, an altar of stones; thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them. 
Thou shalt build the altar of YHVH, thy Elohim, of whole stones; and thou shalt offer thy offerings thereon unto YHVH, thy Elohim; 
And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before YHVH, thy Elohim. 
And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this Torah very plainly. 
¶ And Moses and the Priests spoke unto all Israel, saying: Take heed and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of YHVH, thy Elohim; 
Thou shalt, therefore, obey the voice of YHVH, thy Elohim, and do His mitzvoth and obey His statutes which I command thee this day. 
¶ And Moses charged the people the same day, saying: These shall stand upon the Mount Gerizim to bless the people when ye are come over Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin; 
And these shall stand upon Mount Ebal to deliver the curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. 
¶ And the Levites shall speak and say unto all of Israel with a loud voice: Cursed be they that maketh any graven or molten image, which is detestable before YHVH, the work of the hands of man, and putteth it in a secret place; and all the people shall answer and say: So mote it be! 
Cursed shall be they that degrade their father or their mother: And all the people shall say: So mote it be! 
Cursed shall be they that removeth boundary mark of their neighbor; and all the people shall say: So mote it be! 
Cursed be they that maketh the blind to wander out in the road; and all the people shall say: So mote it be! 
Cursed be they that pervert the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow; and all the people shall say, Amen. 
Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; because he uncovereth the garments of his father; and all the people shall say: So mote it be! 
Cursed be they that lieth with any manner of beast; and all the people shall say: So mote it be! 
Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother; and all the people shall say: So mote it be! 
Cursed be he that lieth with his mother-in-law; and all the people shall say: So mote it be! 
Cursed be they that smiteth their neighbor in secret; and all the people shall say: So mote it be! 
Cursed be they that taketh reward to slay an innocent person; and all the people shall say: So mote it be! 
Cursed shall be they that confirmeth not all the words of this Torah, to do them; and all the people shall say: So mote it be; Amen!

Chapter 31

The Blessings of YHVH

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of YHVH, thy Elohim, to observe and to do all His mitzvoth which I command thee this day, that YHVH, thy Elohim, will set thee on high above all nations of the earth; 
And all these blessings shall come on thee and overtake thee if thou shalt hearken unto the Voice of YHVH, thy Elohim: 
¶ Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. 
¶ Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 
¶ Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. 
¶ Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 
¶ And YHVH shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face; they shall come out against thee one way and flee before thee seven ways. 
¶ And YHVH shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and He shall bless thee in the land which YHVH, thy Elohim, giveth thee. 
¶ And YHVH shall establish thee a holy people unto Himself, as He hath sworn unto thee, if thou keep the commandments of YHVH, thy Elohim, and walk in His ways; 
And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of YHVH; and they shall fear thee. 
¶ And YHVH shall make thee plenteous in goods: in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground in the land which YHVH swore unto thy fathers to give thee. 
¶ And YHVH shall open unto thee His good treasure, the heavens to give the rain unto thy land in His season, and to bless all the work of thine hand; and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. 
¶ And YHVH shall make thee the head and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath if that thou hearken unto the mitzvoth of YHVH, thy Elohim, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them; 
And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other elohim, to serve them. 
¶ But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the Voice of YHVH, thy Elohim, to observe to do all his mitzvoth and His ordinances which I command thee this day, that all these curses shall come upon thee and overtake thee: 
¶ Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. 
¶ Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. 
¶ Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 
¶ Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 
¶ And YHVH shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do until thou be destroyed and until thou perish quickly because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me; 
And YHVH shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee until He hath consumed thee from off the land whither thou goest to possess it; 
And YHVH shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish; 
And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron; 
And YHVH shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust; from heaven shall it come down upon thee until thou be destroyed. 
¶ And YHVH shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies; thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them, and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth, 
And thy carcass shall be meat unto all fowls of the air and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall frighten them away; 
Yea, YHVH will smite thee with the boils of Egypt, and with tumors, and with scabs, and with the itch whereof thou canst not be healed; 
Yea, YHVH shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart, 
And thou shalt grope at noonday as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways; and thou shalt be continually oppressed and carried away, with no one to deliver thee. 
¶ Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her; thou shalt build a house, and thou shalt not dwell therein; thou shalt plant a vineyard and shalt not gather the grapes thereof. 
Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof; thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face and shall not be restored to thee; thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them. 
Thy daughters and thy sons shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand. 
The fruit of thy land and all thy labors shall a nation, which thou knowest not, eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed always, so that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 
¶ And YHVH shall smite thee in the knees and in the legs with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. 
And YHVH shall bring thee and thy king, which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other elohim, yea even gods of wood and stone made by the hands of men. 
And thou shalt become an object of horror, a byword, and a taunt by all nations whither YHVH shall send thee. 
¶ Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it. 
Thou shalt plant vineyards and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them. 
Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast off his fruit. 
Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity. 
All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume. 
The stranger that should live among thee shall rise up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. 
He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him; he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. 
¶ Moreover, all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee till thou be destroyed because thou hearkenedst not unto the Voice of YHVH, thy Elohim, to keep His mitzvoth and His statutes which He commanded thee. 
And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder and upon thy seed forever because thou servedst not YHVH, thy Elohim, with joyfulness and with gladness of heart for the abundance of all things; 
Therefore, thou shalt serve thine enemies, which YHVH shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things; 
And YHVH shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck until He have destroyed thee. 
YHVH shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth, a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand, 
A mighty and fierce nation, which shall not regard the person of the old nor show favor to the young; 
And they shall eat the fruit of thy herds and the fruit of thy land until thou be destroyed; 
And they shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of the offspring thy hers, or flocks of thy sheep until they have destroyed thee. 
And they shall besiege thee in all thy gates until thy high and fenced walls come down wherein thou trustedst throughout all thy land; and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land which YHVH, thy Elohim, hath given thee. 
¶ And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which YHVH, thy Elohim, hath given thee, in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee, 
So that the man that is tender among you and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave, 
So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat because he hath nothing left him in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. 
And the tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, 
And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear; for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates. 
¶ If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this Torah that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name: YHVH, thy Elohim; 
Then will YHVH make thy plagues wonderful and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses and of long continuance. 
Moreover, YHVH will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. 
Also every sickness and every plague which is not written in the book of this Torah, them will YHVH bring upon thee until thou be destroyed. 
And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude, because thou wouldest not obey the voice of YHVH, thy Elohim. 
And it shall come to pass that as YHVH rejoiced over you to do you good and to multiply you, so YHVH will rejoice over you to destroy you and to bring you to naught; 
And ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. 
And YHVH shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other elohim, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone made by the hands of man. 
And among these nations shalt thou find no ease; neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest; but YHVH shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind; 
And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night and shalt have none assurance of thy life. 
In the morning thou shalt say: O that it were evening! And at evening thou shalt say; O that it were morning! 
For the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 
And YHVH shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spoke unto thee: Thou shalt see it no more again; 
And there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no one shall buy you.

Chapter 32

The Return of Israel

And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither YHVH, thy Elohim, hath driven thee, 
And shalt return unto YHVH, thy Elohim, and shalt obey His voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart and with all thy soul, 
That YHVH, thy Elohim, will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither from YHVH, thy Elohim, hath scattered thee. 
And if any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of the heavens, from thence will YHVH, thy Elohim, gather thee and from thence will He fetch thee; 
And YHVH, thy Elohim, will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed; and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good and multiply thee above thy fathers. 
And YHVH, thy Elohim, will circumcise thine heart and the heart of thy seed, to love YHVH, thy Elohim, with all thine heart and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. 
And YHVH, thy Elohim, will put all these curses upon thine enemies and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. 
And thou shalt return, and obey the Voice of YHVH, and do all His mitzvoth which I command thee this day. 
And YHVH, thy Elohim, will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good; 
For YHVH will again rejoice over thee for good, as He rejoiced over thy fathers, if thou shalt hearken unto the Voice of YHVH, thy Elohim, 
To keep his mitzvoth and His ordinances which are written in this Book of the Torah, and if thou turn unto YHVH, thy Elohim, with all thine heart and with all thy soul: 
For this mitzvah which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee; neither is it far off. 
It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say: Who shall go up for us to heaven and bring it unto us, that we may hear it and do it? 
Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say: Who shall go over the sea for us and bring it unto us, that we may hear it and do it? 
But the Word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. 
Look and see that I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil, in that I command thee this day to love YHVH, thy Elohim, 
To walk in His ways, and to keep His mitzvoth, and His ordinances, and his customs, that thou mayest live and multiply; and YHVH, thy Elohim, shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. 
¶ But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other elohim, and serve them, 
I denounce unto you this day that ye shall surely perish and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. 
I call the heavens and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore, choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live, 
That thou mayest love YHVH, thy Elohim, and that thou mayest obey His Voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto Him; 
For YHVH is thy life and shall the length of thy days that thou mayest dwell in the land which YHVH swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. 
And when, in blessing, YHVH, thy Elohim, shall bestow upon thee any great and choice blessing; 
Or, in His abundant charity, shall deliver thee from any great calamity, thou shalt assemble together thy wives, and thy children; thy friends, and thy neighbors and shalt celebrate His glorious goodness with thank offerings, and feastings, and music, and dancing. 
And for the chief blessings of YHVH to thee, thou shalt keep it in remembrance from year to year, and teach it to thy children, 
That they who inherit the blessing may not forget gratitude to the giver, and the remembrance of the goodness of thy Elohim be preserved throughout all generations; So mote it be, Amen. 
And these are the words which Moses gave unto Israel, which are the Torah which YHVH did give unto Moses, in that day that he ascended into the mountain.

The Record of the Children of Israel

An Account of the Life of Adam and Eve

For the Sake of the Life of Mankind and the Living

The charge of Moses, given to Joshua, son of Nun, the Servant of Moses.

Chapter 1

And it came to pass that Moses (Mosheh, to draw up) and Zipporah (Tsiporah, bird or basket) did call for Joshua (Yehoshua, יהוה is salvation), the son of Nun (to increase), 
And they did command him to learn from them of Adam (mankind) and Eve (Chavah, life), who are the first to enter into the presence of יהוה (YHVH), thus being the first parents of Israel (straight to God). 
And so it was that he did learn from them the history of Israel, even from the very beginning. 
¶ And it came to pass that in the thirty-second year from the time that Israel did leave Egypt by the hand of Moses and the power of יהוה (YHVH), that יהוה (YHVH) did come unto Moses, saying: 
Take Joshua (Yehoshua, יהוה is salvation), the son of Nun, thy servant, and have him write these things as a memorial as to his charge in a book (or scroll). 
And Moses did so, and he took a book (or scroll) and gave it unto Joshua (Yehoshua, יהוה is salvation), the son of Nun, and he did write upon it the words of Moses and Zipporah, saying: 
¶ And it came to pass that after Adam (mankind) and Eve (life) were sent out of the garden of Eden (paradise), set to the East, יהוה (YHVH) having set the Cherubim a watching over that tree of life; 
And so it was that Eve (Chavah, life) did grow with child, and unto them, Adam (mankind) and Eve (life), were two sons born; and one was of יהוה (YHVH), and the other of Lilith (under the cover of darkness or night). 
And it came to pass that the son that served not יהוה (YHVH) did slay his brother; and Eve (life) did weep unto יהוה (YHVH). 
And so it was that יהוה (YHVH) did come unto Eve (life) and did comfort her and sent her to fetch her husband. 
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did say unto them: I have cast out thy son, Cain (Qayin, to get or acquire); for he has been taught the mystery of the Leviathan (livyathan, serpent or sea monster), and he did eat and drink of it without pity. 
And I would that thy seed not be polluted by the seed of Lilith (night or nocturnal) and Cain (to get or acquire), 
For that which they do eat with their eyes and their ears shall be taught unto their hearts, 
And it shall come out of them from their hands and their mouths unto the corruption of this earth. 
And behold, I would that these should not be corrupted; therefore, I have cast him out and all they that would follow after them. 
And so shall I cast out all they that should eat of this mystery and drink of the blood of this corruption. 
For Ha’Elohim did say: Let us create mankind in our image, and thus did Ha’Elohim create mankind after the very image of Yah (יה). 
And after Ha’Elohim did create mankind from upon the earth, יהוה (YHVH) did breathe life into all that would seek Him, and mankind did become alive, giving birth to the nefesh ha'elokit (divine soul). 
¶ And it came to pass that Yah (יה) did say: It is not good for these men to be alone, and in this shall I help them. 
And the Breath did put the man, Adam (mankind), to a very deep sleep, and did take from the side of him flesh, and brought it unto them. 
And so it was that when Adam (mankind) did awaken, they did see another woman and called her Life (Eve; Chavah, life), for she is the mother of all creation. 
And I, YHVH Elohim (אלהים יהוה), did blessed them and named them on the day of their creation. 
¶ And it came to pass that mankind was given the Torah of Life, and to prepare them in that garden that was set apart from the Earth into the Presence of Elohim (Shekinah); 
And so it was that when Ha’Elohim was finished blessing and instructing you that Ha’Elohim did leave you, yet mankind did remain in the Presence even as I, יהוה (YHVH) had instructed in your mitzvoth. 
¶ And it came to pass that there were serpents (selfish or wicked desires) about in that garden, for Ha’Elohim did place them there even to tempt you. 
And so it was that these serpents did entice you and did persuade you to eat of that, the tree of knowledge of good and evil; 
For you did hearken unto the voices of the serpents, and did transgress, and partook of the fruit of that tree, and did eat. 
¶ And it came to pass that in that day did I, YHVH Elohim (אלהים יהוה), send you out from the garden of Eden unto that very ground from which you were taken. 
And so it was that you, Adam (mankind) went unto thy wife, Eve (life), and she did bare two sons, and there were two of them, and they were brothers of the same womb, being twins in her womb. 
And it came to pass that thou, Eve (life), did call the name of the firstborn Cain (to get or acquire), saying: I have been gifted a son from יהוה (YHVH), 
And thus did you, Eve (life), call the name of the younger one Abel (Habel, breath), for he was half the size of Cain (to get or acquire), his brother; and thus did he struggle for his life. 
¶ And it came to pass that as they grew, Cain (to get or acquire) became one to till the ground; and Abel became one that did watch over the flocks of sheep. 
And so it was that after seven years of laboring in their fields that each did bring an offering unto me. 
¶ And it came to pass that Cain (to get or acquire) did dig up the fruit of the ground in much boasting, and Abel did bring forth from the firstlings of his flocks in humility. 
And so it was that a fire did come down from יהוה (YHVH) that did consume the offering of Cain (to get or acquire), 
For Cain (to get or acquire) had brought with him the lesser fruit of his vanity, but the offering in humility given by Abel (Hebel, his breath) was accepted and the people did eat of it. 
¶ And it came to pass that Cain (to get or acquire) was jealous against his brother Abel for this, and he did lust after the wife of his brother, 
And so it was that Cain (to get or acquire) did plot murder with that Lilith (night or nocturnal) to take the blood of Abel (his breath), which was his own blood for they were brothers, and they were twins, and he did plot to slay Abel (his breath). 
¶ And it came to pass that thy son Cain (to get or acquire) did go out one day into the field of Abel, his brother, and they were both alone in that field, 
And so it was that Cain (to get or acquire) did come unto his brother Abel suddenly and he did smite his brother and took him and hid him up and slew him. 
And Cain (to get or acquire) did spill the blood of his brother Abel upon the earth, and Cain (to get or acquire) then did rise up and dig a hole wherein to hide the body of his brother, Abel (his breath). 
And it came to pass that I, יהוה (YHVH), did know that which Cain (to get or acquire) had done unto his brother, Abel (his breath), and I did show myself unto Cain (to get or acquire), and said unto him: Where is thy brother, Abel (his breath)? 
And so it was that Cain (to get or acquire) defied me, saying: Am I the keeper of my brother as well? 
¶ And it came to pass that I did speak again unto Cain (to get or acquire), saying: 
Because thou hath done this, the voice of the blood of thy brother, Abel (his breath) crieth out unto me from the ground where in he doth lay. 
And thou didst this thing for naught but an oath of wickedness, and for thy own gain, yet thou shall not be blessed by it; 
Therefore, thou shall be cursed, all they who would open the mouth of the ground to hide the sin of blood to buried it there and confess it not. 
And I shall mark thee with a seal and a sign, that all they that should come up unto thee shall know that you repent not, 
And that they should flee from before thee, for not even death shall seek to take thy life, 
But thou who did hearken unto the whispers of Lilith (night or nocturnal) shall lie with her and be her servant unless thou should repent. 
¶ And it came to pass that from that time did Cain (to get or acquire) go out from my Presence, from the place where he was, and he shall continue wandering in the land, he and all they that would belong to him. 
And this did יהוה (YHVH) speak unto Adam (mankind) and Eve (life) that they should know concerning the fate of their sons, and many more things did יהוה (YHVH) speak unto them. 
And so it is that they who sin in יהוה (YHVH) as Adam (mankind) and Eve (life) do sin in vain, yet piercing their hearts they do seek teshuvah, that they should return unto YHVH Elohim (אלהים יהוה) once more; 
But they who sin to get gain and pierce not their hearts, and repent not—even as that Lilith (night or nocturnal) and Cain (to get or acquire)—these shall wonder in vain, never for to find joy but to hunger and thirst forever and ever.

Chapter 2

And it came to pass that Adam (mankind) did again know his wife, Eve (life), and she did conceive and did bear a son; and she did call his name Seth (one who is appointed), saying: 
Because Ha’Elohim hath appointed unto us this gift of another son, for Cain (to get or acquire) did take Abel (his breath) from us and slay him; 
Therefore, we now have one to replace us when we are gone from upon the face of this earth, and though I still grieve my sons, my burden is lightened. 
¶ And it came to pass that Seth (one who is appointed) grew and he and his wife were given the Torah of Adam (mankind); and Seth (one who is appointed) and Azurah (beauty from the sky above) did teach it unto all mankind, even all they that would listen. 
And Seth (one who is appointed) did write all the sayings of his father, Adam (mankind), and his mother Eve (life); and he did take these records and preserve them that they should never fade or be diminished. 
And so it was that Seth (one who is appointed) and Azurah (beauty from the sky above) did take the records that had been kept and sealed up to be preserved by the power of YHVH Elohim (אלהים יהוה), and they did go unto that rock where his father, Adam(mankind), and his mother, Eve (life), did pray. 
¶ And it came to pass that Seth (one who is appointed) and his wife, Azurah, did pray unto יהוה (YHVH), El Eloyn (Most High God), to know where they should store these records, for these were the first scriptures of the children of Adam (mankind) and Eve (life). 
And so it was that they prayed using the signs and tokens given them by Adam (mankind) and Eve (life), as had been given them from יהוה (YHVH) by the heavenly hosts that had ordained them. 
And after they did pray for a day and a night on that Sabbath, on the eighth day they were delivered. 
¶ And it came to pass that they did hear a voice calling to them from the garden to the west of them, to the east of Eden; and so it was that they did follow the Voice. 
And it came to pass that though they could not pierce the veil to enter into Eden, for it was guarded that mankind (Adam) should not partake of that tree of eternal life, that they should not live forever in their sins, 
Azurah (beauty from the sky above) did see an entrance to a cave, and she did show it unto her husband, Seth (one who is appointed); and they did enter there and deposit the records that they should be preserved even unto this day. 
¶ And it came to pass that they did see that the roots of that tree of life and the roots of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, did both grow down into that cave. 
Wherefore it is said that the Torah of יהוה (YHVH) is the roots of the tree of knowledge and the tree of good and evil; 
And the tree, which is well rooted in the soil of the creation of יהוה (YHVH), doth grow fruit thereon to be given unto those who would dwell in the Presence of יהוה (YHVH) and Ha’Elohim; 
And these two trees do reach unto the heavens, into the throne room of יהוה (YHVH), who is El Elyon (the Most High God), in the midst of that great city where Ha’Elohim dweleth. 
¶ And it came to pass that there, in that cave, Ariel (lion of God), the malak of יהוה (YHVH), did come unto them, saying: 
Seth, man of YHVH Elohim (אלהים יהוה), and Azurah, woman of YHVH Elohim (אלהים יהוה); blessed be ye. 
Thy prayers unto יהוה (YHVH) hath brought thee unto the root of the tree that poured the oil that did anoint thy father Adam (mankind) and thy mother Eve (life). 
The records ye have brought unto this cave shall be given at the last day unto the world; 
And in that day, all flesh born of mankind (Adam) and life (Eve) eternal will rise up and be a holy people and a great nation in that day. 
And it shall come to pass that Israel shall be blessed, and because of the seed of Israel, all will have heavenly joy, for the breath of Ha’Elohim (Ruach HaKodesh) shall dwell with them. 
And death and sheol will be no more for all they that will dwell in the Presence of Elohim (Shekinah); 
And this because the evil that was in their hearts will depart from out of them, 
And they will know the way, and their hearts shall be as the servants of יהוה (YHVH) alone. 
Go now un thy lands and teach thy people, for when the time cometh the life of mankind (Adam) shall be restored in three days. 
And if the soul should depart from mankind, the evil ways of Lilith (night or nocturnal) and Cain (to get or acquire) will be born within mankind; therefore, teach thy people the Torah of יהוה (YHVH) and to keep it. 
¶ And it came to pass that after the malak of יהוה (YHVH), Ariel, did say these words unto Seth (one who is appointed) and Azurah, he did leave them alone in the cave to make their own way back to the place of their dwelling.

Chapter 3

And it came to pass that upon their return that Azurah (beauty from the sky above) did call all the people of YHVH Elohim (אלהים יהוה) to the temple of Adam (mankind; a house of the Lord built by mankind), which had been built as a house of יהוה (YHVH). 
And so it was that standing between the pillars of the Torah that Seth (one who is appointed) did place there before the entrance of the temple of Adam (mankind), she did speak, saying: 
Wake up, my children, and the children of my children, that I might teach you not to be deceived. 
I shall tell you of that which did befall our first parents, even Adam (mankind) and Eve (life), when they were given the task of paradise, allotted them of יהוה (YHVH). 
¶ And it came to pass that their first wife, Lilith (night or nocturnal), did go forth unto Adam (mankind) after she had tasted of the fruit of that tree, and spoke even as a serpent saying: 
Rise up, come to me and I will tell thee a word whereby thou mayst get gain; and so it was that the man, our father Adam (mankind), did arise and come unto her. 
And that devil, she did say unto him: I have come to give thee counsel; wherefore why doth thou eat not of all the trees of paradise? 
And thus Adam (mankind) did speak unto her, saying: I fear lest יהוה (YHVH) Elohim (אלהים) be wroth. 
And Lilith (night or nocturnal) did say to him: Fear not, only be with me; and this that the words of her mouth should deceive him. 
And it came to pass that Adam (mankind) did grasp hold of the mitzvoth of paradise, and even as a faithful malak, he did worship יהוה (YHVH); 
And so it was that Lilith (night or nocturnal) did leave her love, our father Adam (mankind), and our mother Eve (life), alone there in that garden that she might be alone with her first love. 
¶ And it came to pass that Satan did appear unto Eve (life) in the form of a man, singing psalms as would the malakim of Yah (יה). 
And so it was that when she did see him, he did speak unto her, saying: O Eve (life), where hath thy wife, Lilith (night or nocturnal) gone? And why hath thou not sought her here in paradise? 
And our mother, Eve (life), did answer him, saying: Ha’Elohim did set us to care for this, the creation of יהוה (YHVH), here in this, His vineyard. 
¶ And it came to pass that with the voice of a serpent, that adversary did speak unto our mother, Eve (life), saying: Thou doth do well by this; yet I see that you eat not of every plant in this garden. 
And so it was that Eve (life) did say unto him: Yea, all save one, which doth deal here in the midst of this paradise; 
For Ha’Elohim hath not given us this portion to eat of it; and it was said unto us: On the day on which you eat of it, you shall taste of death. 
¶ And it came to pass that the serpent spoke again to our mother, Eve (life), saying: Yea, behold, I am grieved, for I would thou not be left ignorant; 
Arise, therefore, and hearken to me and eat that ye slumber no more! 
But our mother, Eve (life), did speak again unto him, saying: I fear lest יהוה (YHVH) Elohim (אלהים) be wroth with us. 
And that adversary, he did speak unto her, saying: Fear not, for thou desire nothing save it be to receive all that Ha’Elohim hath; 
Therefore, when thou should eat of it, thou shall be even as Ha’Elohim (the gods), to know good from evil. 
¶ And it came to pass that our mother, Eve (life), did desire to gain all that Yah (יה) did have; therefore, she did take of that which she was not freely given. 
¶ And it came to pass that the adversary, that Satan, did try and make an oath with her, to keep what she had done secret, 
But behold, her eyes being open, she did see wickedness in this thing, for in that very hour were her eyes opened; 
Yea, and she did know that her true desire was the righteousness with which she had been clothed with when entering that garden. 
And so it was that our mother, Eve (life), did weep, for she did see that by this act had she been deprived of the glory with which she had worn; 
Therefore, she refused any oath, but sought the teshuvah of Israel, and turned to ask that serpent of where she could find such hope, but he did vanish from before her. 
¶ And it came to pass that our mother, Eve (life), she did give our father, Adam (mankind), to eat; 
And they did see their nakedness, and did desire at the first to hide in their shame, but how can one hide from Ruach HaKodesh (the glory of God)? 
And so it was that יהוה (YHVH) Elohim (אלהים) did instruct them and sent them out from the paradise of that garden, and they were sent out upon the face of the earth. 
¶ And it came to pass that Azurah (beauty from the sky above) did continue her speaking, saying: Behold, now I would speak unto all of you this day, 
Even all that would hear my voice, be ye my children, or the sons of man, or the daughters of Ha’Elohim; 
Know that each of you did partake of the goodness of Ha’Elohim, and being born of Ruach HaKodesh, ye did partake of the fruit of that tree, leaving behind the beautiful garments of paradise. 
Wherefore, a choice hath been placed before thee: to take upon thee that oath of death, or to be washed clean and take upon thee the garments of life. 
¶ And this is the blessing and the curse of mankind, for to inherit life eternal, is the priesthood Patriarchal and the priesthood Matriarchal (or the Priesthood of the Fathers and the Mothers), given unto our father Adam (mankind) and our mother Eve (life) when they did leave the garden of paradise. 
¶ And this is the Priesthood of Life and Endless Life, the blessing of teshuvah being given as the Priesthood of Life and Endless Life is handed down, not knowing the beginning of days, nor the ending of years. 
¶ But the cursing of Lilith (night or nocturnal) and Cain (to get or acquire) too may be passed down, father to son, and mother to daughter, for they have not that Priesthood of Life given freely of יהוה (YHVH) to give them; 
For how can one give that which they have not? And how can one receive that which is not given? 
But this Priesthood of Life and Endless Life is a free gift, and cannot be earned nor given as a reward, for it is not of mankind (Adam) but of YHVH Elohim (אלהים יהוה) to give it. 
¶ And in the last days, Ruach HaKodesh, shall cease to be given from father to son and mother to daughter; 
Therefore, YHVH Elohim (אלהים יהוה) shall send unto them Sandalohon (hearts of the children) before the coming of the great and dreadful day of יהוה (YHVH): 
And Sandalohon shall restore the Priesthood of Life and Eternal Life, 
Turning the hearts of the fathers and mothers back to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers and mothers, lest יהוה (YHVH) should smite the earth with a curse. 
¶ And what is this curse? It is the very curse of Lilith (night or nocturnal) and Cain (to get or acquire), 
For these seek the things of this world, and they shall have them; but these cannot carry them into death; therefore, they have no inheritance. 
Yet the Priesthood of Life and Eternal Life is the inheritance of the sons and daughters of Elohim; yea, and we shall be given all that Yah (יה) doth have, even life eternal. 
¶ And it is the order of the Priesthood of Life and Eternal Life to pass these blessings from father to son and from mother to daughter; 
But in the last days, there will be those who claim these blessings of kehunah (priesthood) for themselves, 
And they will keep the sons and daughters of Elohim from the Priesthood of Life and Eternal Life, 
Only allowing them to turn the hearts of the fathers and mothers to their sons and their daughters at their counsel, 
Forbidding the children of their inheritance, even from their birthright by their blood. 
¶ And what power doth mankind (Adam) have over יהוה (YHVH) Elohim? Nothing. How could mankind (Adam) have power over the creator of worlds? 
What power hath mankind (Adam) over the sky, over the waters, over the earth, save it be that Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh (אהיה אשר אהיה The Creator) giveth us this power. 
No, mankind (Adam) hath no power over Ha’Elohim, and this truth I shall now show thee in plainness. 
¶ And so it was that Azurah (beauty from the sky above) did teach the people, saying: And it came to pass that at the organization of this creation, Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh (אהיה אשר אהיה The Creator) made all things in seven ages, but in the seventh age Ha’Elohim did rest. 
For in the sixth age Ha’Elohim did say: Let us make mankind in our image, and in the image of Yah, even in the image of Alohykm, and in the image of YHVH the Yachad Yachid Echad, for YHVH is (in) the very image of Yah. 
¶ And so it was that Ha’Elohim did form mankind (Adam) out of the things of this earth, even as one that cometh up from the dust. 
And YHVH did blow into his nostrils the very Breath (Ruach) of life (Eve), and thus did mankind (Adam) grow from spirit to flesh to the very living soul. 
And that Breath (Ruach) did endow them with speech, that they might know the Word and speak it also. 
And the man Adam (mankind) and the woman Lilith (night or nocturnal) did walk about the garden. 
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) spoke unto Ha’Elohim, saying: It is not good for mankind (Adam) to be alone; I will make for them a helpmeet. 
And so it was that as the man Adam (mankind) and the woman Lilith (night or nocturnal) did sleep, the veil was rent and when these two awoke, there appeared a woman standing before them. 
And they, seeing her, did embrace her as one, and did say: She (this one) is one of us, and her name became Eve (Chavah, life), 
And this because she partook of that tree of the knowledge of good and evil that mankind (Adam) might fall, that we, all of mankind, should ascend back to that Elohim who did create us. 
And יהוה (YHVH) did speak unto them, saying: Multiply and replenish the earth, or in other words: Walk the straight path back to the Creator in teshuvah and preach the Gospel. 
¶ Now I again shall ask thee: How can mankind seek to command the Creator of the Universe (אלהים בוֹרא השמים והארץ, Elohim, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth)? 
Who are we, that we might command our Elohim? Yet יהוה (YHVH) hath instructed us to seek His Face and to know Him; 
Therefore, let us come before him in mighty psalms, and in fasting, and in mighty prayer, and in supplication that we might know יהוה (YHVH), the Creator (Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh (אהיה אשר אהיה). 
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) Elohim did take Adam (mankind), and Lilith (night or nocturnal), and Eve (Chavah, life) and kept them, and taught them to dress and keep the garden. 
And יהוה (YHVH) did speak unto them, saying: From every tree of the garden you may eat, but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, in the day you eat thereof you shall surely fall away from my countenance. 
And so it was that Ha’Elohim did bless them, and Adam and his wife, Eve, did dwell within the garden according to the Torah which they were given therein. 
But Lilith (night or nocturnal) did partake in her greed and her wickedness, and she did tempt the man Adam (mankind), and she did flee the garden into the wastelands. 
¶ And so it was that Eve (life) did heed the temptations of that serpent, and she did fall from the grace given her, and Adam did give in to his desires, and he too did fall. 
But behold, I say unto you: That יהוה (YHVH) Elohim did know from before the beginning, 
And Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh (אהיה אשר אהיה the Creator) did prepare mercy and teshuvah that Adam (mankind) might ascend back to that Elohim that did make them, 
That Adam (mankind) would eternally be with Eve (life) for all eternity, partaking also of that Tree of Life that is now separated from Adam (mankind). 
¶ But now Adam (mankind) doth till the ground that he might not lose his Eve (life), and she doth lean upon her husband for sustenance; 
Yet this is not the intention of Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh (אהיה אשר אהיה the Creator); yea, but it is the will of יהוה (YHVH) Elohim that we should place our trust in Abba Ha’Briy’ah (אבי הבריאה Father of Creation). 
¶ And because mankind (Adam) doth place his trust in the things of this earth for life (Eve), this is why Cain (to get or acquire) did slay his twin. 
And thus did Cain (to get or acquire), he did lose Abel (his breath), and did refuse teshuvah in the face of Ha’Elohim. 
But if we, the children of Elohim, should remember HaShem YHVH (השם יהוה The Name YHVH), we will walk on that path straight to El Olam (אל עוֹלם Everlasting God or Eternal God). 
¶ And it came to pass that Adam (mankind) and Eve (life) did bear Seth (one who is appointed), and together יהוה (YHVH) Elohim did call Seth (one who is appointed) and I, Azurah (beauty from the sky above) to watch over this flock, the children of Elohim, and to multiply and replenish the earth; 
Therefore, all that we do is to help prepare the way, that you might learn and understand and walk upon that path back into Eden. 
And there doth YHVH Adoni Ha’Shaboth (יהוה אדוֹן השבת YHVH, Lord of the Sabbath) wait for us, that the Shekinah of the Earth (we, the congregation) might be reunited unto the Shekinah of the Heavens, in the very Presence of יהוה (YHVH). 
¶ And it came to pass that Azurah (beauty from the sky above) did finish speaking unto the children of Elohim. 
And so it was that the children of Elohim did hear her words, and these did seek to keep the Torah they had been given that there should be balance between Adam (mankind) and Eve (life).

Chapter 4

And it came to pass that Seth (one who is appointed) and Azurah (beauty from the sky above) did bear many sons and daughters, and so it was that they did call the name of one of them Enos (אנוֹשׁ Enosh, “the man” or “a friend”); 
¶ And so it was that many of the children of Elohim, or the Church of God, did begin to follow after the unknown elohim, 
And joining with the sons of man, these did rebel against יהוה (YHVH) Elohim, and the pathway of the earth did become treacherous. 
¶ And it came to pass that violence did break out between the children of Elohim, who Enos (a friend) and his wife, Naom (נעם, surpassing beauty) had caused to come together and the children of man. 
And so it was that in the name of יהוה (YHVH), Enos (a friend) did cause the rains to come, even until the waters of the rivers did overflow and overwhelm them; 
And so it was that a third part of the lands were consumed, and the children of Elohim were spared. 
¶ And it came to pass that Ha’Yohtzar Ha’Or (היצר האור He Who did Fashion/Create the Light) did call upon Enos (a friend), he and his wife, Naom (נעם, surpassing beauty) also; and as one they did call the earth unto teshuvah. 
¶ And it came to pass that the hearts of the children of man were hardened against יהוה (YHVH) Elohim and against the children of Elohim, 
And they did pray to their gods made from the hands of man and they did seek for the blood of the children of Elohim and for the blood of one another. 
¶ And it came to pass that Naom (surpassing beauty) did cause that the heavens should be shut up, and the rains stopped; and thus there was a great famine in all the land. 
But in the lands where the children of Elohim did dwell, there were great wells with waters from deep within the earth; 
And so it was that the herds of the children of Elohim and the fields of the children of Elohim were watered, and the people were spared. 
But the children of man, these clung to the gods made from their hands, and they did continue to rebel against Ha’Elohim who did make them. 
¶ And Naom (surpassing beauty) was so beautiful that only our mother, Sarah (שרה, queen or princess), and our mother, Rebekah (רבקה, she who does bind), could rival her beauty; 
And her hair as thick and as black as a raven, longer than the arm of a man; her skin was almost as dark; her arms strong as a that of a bowman, and her legs strong as stone; 
And her beauty as a testament of YHVH El Racham (יהוה אל רחוּם YHVH God of Loving-kindness), and so it was that she refused to wear a veil to cover her beauty. 
¶ And so it was that in those days, the children of man did neither sow the earth, nor did they reap, for there was no food. 
But the sons of man would not repent, and so it was that the earth would not give up her sustenance unto them, and the birds hid themselves, and the wild beasts did keep away. 
And it came to pass that many died, and the strong took from the weak, and Ha’Elohim did weep for them. 
¶ And so it was that Enos (a friend) and his wife, Naom (surpassing beauty), bore a son who was given the name Qeynan (Cainan קינן, he who dwells in the nest); 
And Qeynan (he who dwells in the nest) was a wise man who was blessed in the understanding in all wisdom, 
And with wisdom did Qeynan (nest dweller) pray over those possessed by familiar spirits and demons in HaShem YHVH (השם יהוה The Name YHVH), and their burdens were lifted from them. 
And showing many signs and wonders, some of the sons of man were converted, and these did join with the children of Elohim, not by the sign but because the Breath of Elohim (Ruach Elohim) did awaken life into their souls. 
¶ And it came to pass that Qeynan (nest dweller) did prophecy in the name of יהוה (YHVH) for he did read the stars, and they did tell him that should the children of men repent not, they would be swept off the face of the lands. 
And Qeynan (nest dweller) did write upon tablets of stone, and after a time, he did put that which he wrote into the earth that they might be preserved. 
¶ And so it was that Qeynan (nest dweller) and Melkah (God is my strength), his wife, bore five children, three sons and two daughters; 
And his third son was named Mahalal’el (מהללאל, he praises God), and he did watch over his sister, Tzillah (צִלָּה, [God is my] refuge or [God is my] protection), and as one they did lead the children of Elohim. 
But in those days, many of the children of Elohim did leave their numbers and join the sons of man; 
For the children of Elohim had begun to put away the wives of their youth, putting them to the wayside, to take the wives from among the children of man. 
And this did please the elohim of the children of man, but this did not please יהוה (YHVH) Elohim. 
And so it was that יהוה (YHVH) Elohim did rise up Tzillah ([God is my] protection), the sister of Mahalal’el (מהללאל, he praises God), and she did cry teshuvah unto them. 
¶ And it came to pass that those who did leave the children of Elohim did teach the children of man to dig in the earth for water, 
And the children of man did wax strong, and they did become pleasing in the sight of the daughters of Elohim, insomuch that they too did wander off to be taken by the sons of man, for the daughters of Elohim were very desirable. 
And so it was that the children of Elohim, or the Church of God, became few, and though the earth had become lush, Zion did not prosper.

Chapter 5

And it came to pass that Mahalal’el (מהללאל, he praises God), and his wife, Diynah (דִינה, [God is my] justice) did have seven sons and four daughters, yet many of these did leave them for the children of man. 
And so it was that Yared (Jared ירד, he who descends to ascend), one of the sons of Mahalal’el (he praises God), and his wife, Diynah ([God is my] justice), did remain faithful unto יהוה (YHVH) Elohim. 
And so it was that Yared (/he who descends to ascend) did know his wife, Baraka (ברך, gift from God); and she bore a son, and they did name him Enoch (חנוֹך he who is dedicated//). 
¶ And it came to pass that Enoch (he who is dedicated) and his wives, Aadani (עדני, YHVH is my God), Ydri (ידרע from אדרי, she who is exalted), and Yydnah (עדנה, she who ascended) were called by YHVH Adoni Ha’Shaboth (יהוה אדוֹן השבת YHVH, Lord of the Sabbath) to call the children of Elohim and the children of man to teshuvah: 
And their feats were many, for these did usher in the second dispensation of Ha’Kodesh Israel (קדוש ישראל the Holy One of Israel), who is Ha’Oseh Shalom (עשה שלום the Maker of Peace). 
And their records are kept, and their prophecies; and though Moses (Mosheh, to draw up) and Zipporah (Tsiporah, bird or basket) did teach them unto Joshua (Yehoshua, יהוה is salvation), the son of Nun (to increase), 
But their words shall not be written in this record, for they are too many and are kept elsewhere for the nation of Israel (straight to God) that they not be forgotten. 
¶ And it came to pass that Enoch (he who is dedicated) and Aadani (עדני, YHVH is my God) and Ydri (ידרע from אדרי, she who is exalted) and Yydnah (עדנה, she who ascended) did bear many sons and daughters, raising them up unto יהוה (YHVH) in righteousness; 
And so it was that Enoch and Aadani and Ydri and together did bear Methuselah (מתוּשלח, he is as a spear); 
And as one Enoch (he who is dedicated) and Aadani (עדני, YHVH is my God) and Ydri (ידרע from אדרי, she who is exalted) and Yydnah (עדנה, she who ascended) did raise Methuselah (מתוּשלח, he is as a spear) in righteousness. 
And Enoch (he who is dedicated) and Aadani (עדני, YHVH is my God) and Ydri (ידרע from אדרי, she who is exalted) and Yydnah (עדנה, she who ascended) did govern over the lands of the children of Elohim, teaching the people wisdom and knowledge in revelation, which is to say, the ways of YHVH Raphacha (יהוה רפאך, YHVH Heals/Restores). 
¶ And it came to pass that the children of Elohim did separate themselves away from the children of man; for so it was that the children of man did fear the children of Elohim, insomuch that they did flee from before them. 
And so it was that after three days of fasting and prayer, it came to pass that the children of Elohim were taken, 
For in that day did Ha’Elolaum (אלעוֹלם, the Never-ending God) take up Enoch (he who is dedicated) and Aadani (עדני, YHVH is my God) and Ydri (ידרע from אדרי, she who is exalted) and Yydnah (עדנה, she who ascended) and all their people into the bosom of His throne. 
¶ And it came to pass that Methuselah (מתוּשלח, he is as a spear) did stay upon the earth, that the children of man might be privy of the teshuvah of YHVH El Racham (יהוה אל רחוּם, YHVH God of Loving-kindness). 
And Methuselah (מתוּשלח, he is as a spear) and his wife, Adnah (עֶדְנָה, she who is delightful) did walk openly amongst the children of man without fear, for Ve’Daiyan Israel (ודין ישראל, the Protector of Israel) was with them. 
¶ And it came to pass that Methuselah (מתוּשלח, he is as a spear) and his wife, Adnah (עֶדְנָה, she who is delightful) did breathe out the Ruach HaKodesh (הקודש רוח, Holy Breath or Holy Spirit) and there were some who were converted. 
And so it was that Methuselah (מתוּשלח, he is as a spear) and his wife, Adnah (עֶדְנָה, she who is delightful) did bear two sons and five daughters. 
¶ And it came to pass that the name of the son who יהוה (YHVH) Elohim called unto was named Lamech (למךְ, man of prayer). 
And so it was that YHVH Ameth (תמא אוה הוהי YHVH is Truth) spoke unto Lamech and his wives, Bathadam (בתאדם, /daughter of man) and Shlomiyth (שְׁלמִית, daughter of health and peace//), saying: 
Go forth unto the sons of man, saying: Thus saith Ha’Rachaman (ןמחרה, the Merciful One): Walk no more in your wickedness, but in teshuvah; yea, forsake your secret oaths and dark combinations! 
Now is the time to turn back, for should you flee from before my words, your seed shall not find a place to hide from my mercy, for I am Bora Olam (םלוע ארוב Creator of the World). 
¶ And it came to pass that the wives of Lamech, Bathadam and Shlomiyth, were daughters of the sons of man; 
But these did hearken unto the words of Oseh Shalom (םולש השע, the Peacemaker); therefore, they did take upon themselves these new names as they were endowed from upon high. 
And Adnah did set them apart, Bathadam to prepare the earth for the mercy of יהוה (YHVH), and Shlomiyth to bring down that mercy from the heavens. 
And it was that Shlomiyth did give birth unto Noah, that YHVH Yir’eh (הארי הוהי YHVH will provide) should rise up a righteous Adam that Eve (life) should be extended unto the new creation of Ha’Yohtzar Ha’Or (רואה רציה He Who did Fashion/Create the Light). 
¶ And it came to pass that in that day when Shlomiyth did give birth unto Noah, that it was known that a prophet had been born unto them: 
For the hairs upon his head were long and white, and thick like unto wool, and his cheeks were red as the rose, and a light did shine about him; 
And his eyes did pierce them, for in the day that the baby, Noah, did open his eyes, he did light up the room as though it were daylight, though it was night. 
And all those that stood in his presence from the moment he first cried until he did open his eyes, they were filled with the Voice; and they did prophecy from their mouths, and every word they said was true. 
¶ And it came to pass that Noah did also convert a daughter from the sons of man, and her name was Na’amah; and she was filled with righteousness and the Breath of Elohim. 
And she too was set apart by Adnah and Bathadam and Shlomiyth and endowed from high with power and authority. 
And so it was that she did speak unto Methuselah, and Lamech, her father-in-laws, and unto Noah, her husband, saying: 
Thus saith Ha’Rachaman (ןמחרה the Merciful One): Rise up, O ye men of Elohim Chaiyim (the Living God)! 
For this is the last time ye shall be sent out unto the sons of man! 
And speak unto their ears, saying: Turn away from your secret oaths and secret combinations, and walk in teshuvah before YHVH Raphacha (ךאפר הוהי YHVH Heals/Restores)! 
For the end of all flesh has come unto this generation, and because of the deeds of wickedness of this generation, I shall send my mercy, and this creation shall be washed clean and begin anew. 
And this new creation shall be clean before me, and all the birds of the air, and all the fish of the sea, and every living thing that moveth upon the earth shall be made clean, a new creation. 
¶ And it came to pass that Methuselah, and Lamech, and Noah did go forth and open their mouths, even as YHVH Ameth (תמא אוה הוהי YHVH is Truth) did teach them, by the mouth of Na’amah. 
And so it was that the sons of man would not open their ears unto them, for their hearts were shut up, and they saw their own strengths; therefore they would not hearken. 
¶ And it came to pass that Methuselah, and Lamech, and Noah, and Adnah and Bathadam and Shlomiyth, and Na’amah did weep for the fallen creation of Bora Olam (םלוע ארוב Creator of the World).

Chapter 6

And it came to pass that in the first year that Adam and Eve did leave the garden was marked as the first day of the year of the first Jubilee; 
And so it was that upon the day of Yom Kippur that they did begin their ascent, for it was the day of the atonement of mankind. 
¶ And it came to pass that Adam and Eve did bear a son, and they did name him Seth; 
And so it was that Seth was born in the seventh year from the time Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Paradise; therefore, they did know that they were forgiven of their debts. 
¶ And it came to pass that Seth and Azurah did bear a son, and they did name him Enos; and Enos was born in the thirty-seventh year of the first Jubilee. 
¶ And so it was that Enos and Naom did bring forth a son, and they did name him Qeynan; and Qeynan was born in the nineteenth year of the second Jubilee. 
¶ And it came to pass that Qeynan and Melkah did bear a son, and they did name him Mahalal’el; and Mahalal’el was born in the thirty-eighth year of the second Jubilee. 
¶ And so it was that Mahalal’el and his wife, Diynah, did bring forth a son, and they did name him Yared; and Yared was born in the forty-fifth year of the second Jubilee. 
¶ And it came to pass that Yared and Baraka did bear a son, and they did name him Enoch; and Enoch was born in the sixteenth year of the third Jubilee. 
¶ And it came to pass that Enoch and Aadani and Ydri and Yydnah did bring forth a son, for they were one; and they did name him Methuselah, and they did raise him as one until they were taken. 
And so it was that Methuselah was born in the thirty-fifth year of the third Jubilee; and Zion was taken from off the earth in the year of Jubilee. 
¶ And it came to pass that from the time that Adam and Eve were cast out of the garden unto the day that Zion, the city that Enoch did build, was 150 years. 
¶ And it came to pass that Methuselah and Adnah did bear a son, and they did name him Lamech; 
And so it was that Lamech was born in the year of Jubilee, yea, even the very year that Zion was taken; therefore, they did know that their debts were forgiven them. 
¶ And it came to pass that Lamech and Shlomiyth did bring forth a son, and they did name him Noah; and Noah was born on the twenty-first day of the fourth Jubilee. 
¶ And from Enoch unto Noah it was fifty years to the day from that day that the Shulumnah of Zion was taken from off the earth, being the year of Jubilee. 
And so it was that in that day Noah and Na’amah did take their sons and the daughters of their sons into that ark, and the mercy of יהוה (YHVH) was given.

Chapter 7

And it came to pass that in that day when Noah was born, the Methuselah did ask Shlomiyth, the mother of Noah, what the name of her son should be, and she did name him Noah, saying: 
This one, he shall comfort us in our works in YHVH, for our labors in this Earth which Ha’Elohim hath cursed hath caused us to be upright before Abba Ha’Briy’ah (האירבה יבא Father of Creation). 
¶ And it came to pass that as Noah did grow in the land, he did see the sons of man leave behind that Elohim who did create them for the lusting of their own hearts, and it did trouble Noah. 
And so it was that Noah did see the judges amongst the sons of men chase after the elohim of their own making, 
And they did judge wickedly, taking the wives of just men and giving them to wicked husbands for a price, as though they were but beasts of burden. 
And the sons of man did hunt birds and the animals, not for meat but for sport, leaving their carcasses to rot, and thus did the land begin to stinketh. 
And the preachers of the sons of man did teach the people that all was well in the eyes of YHVH Elohim, and that Ha’Elohim did judge them righteous by their prosperity; 
For they knew not that the goodness of the land did bless the righteous and the wicked, and they did forget the men whom they had judged and slain, and their wives whom they had sold off like beasts of burden. 
¶ And it came to pass that after all of the righteous were spared by YHVH Yir’eh (הארי הוהי YHVH will provide), the only righteous left upon in the land was that of Noah, and Na’amah, and their sons, and the wives of their sons. 
And so it was that Ahman Ha’Olam (םלועה ןומא Master Architect of the World) did teach it unto Noah and his sons, how to build such an ark as to live through the tribulation. 
And so it shall be that YHVH El Racham (םוּחר לא הוהי YHVH God of Lovingkindness) shall always provide a way for they who shall pierce their hearts in righteousness. 
And it came to pass that as they did build the ark, they did rest upon the seventh day, 
And it came to pass that Noah and his sons did burn sacrifices unto YHVH Adoni Ha’Shaboth (תבשה ןוֹדא הוהי YHVH, Lord of the Sabbath), 
And Na’amah and the wives of their sons did pour out libations unto Ha’Oseh Shalom (םולש השע the Maker of Peace). 
And so it was that Noah and Na’amah did drink wine together and read the stars to know the will of YHVH Adoni Ha’Shaboth (תבשה ןוֹדא הוהי YHVH, Lord of the Sabbath). 
¶ And it came to pass that Ha’Rachaman (ןמחרה the Merciful One) did send animals to dwell in the ark with Noah and Na’amah and their sons and the wives of their sons, that life should continue upon the land. 
And so it was that the righteous did come aboard that ark, being drawn there by the light of the tsohar which Noah and Na’amah had fashioned out of quarts, and that had been touched by the hand of Ha’Yohtzar Ha’Or (רואה רציה He Who did Fashion/Create the Light), wherefore it did give light unto the ark, for it had no windows. 
¶ And it came to pass that once all the righteous of the land, of the humans (Adam), and of the fowl, and of beasts, and of all the things which did creep upon the earth in righteousness, had set foot inside the ark, that Ve’Daiyan Israel (לארשי ןידו Protector/Judge of Israel) did shut them in. 
And so it was that they who were left outside of that ark did come, for the fear of YHVH Elohim did come upon them, for they did remember the words of the prophets and of the prophetesses. 
And they did call out unto Noah and Na’amah, saying: Open for us that we may come to thee in the ark, wherefore we should not die. 
¶ And Noah and Na’amah did speak unto them, saying: Have you not rebelled against YHVH? 
Therefore, hath not this sin come upon thee for you did the works of your own undoing unto your own destruction. 
¶ And the sons of men did cry out, saying: We are ready now to return unto that Elohim who did create us, but open the door that we may find sanctuary from this tribulation. 
¶ And so it was that Noah and Na’amah did cry out unto them, saying: Come unto Tzur Israel (לארשי רוּצ Rock of Israel) with a pierced heart, and with a contrite spirit, and the hand of YHVH shall open the door for you, for the Elohim of our salvation hath sealed it up. 
¶ And it came to pass that the sons of man would not pierce their hearts, for their fear was of death and not of Ha’Rachaman (ןמחרה the Merciful One); wherefore their cries were vain. 
And the earth shook, and the rain poured down, and the land was washed clean of all wickedness.

Chapter 8

And it came to pass that all who did remain alive in the land were upon that ark: the righteous of the humans (Adam), and of the fowl, and of beasts, and of all the things which did creep upon the earth in righteousness. 
And so it was that as the ark was upon the great waters, it was tossed about to and fro, and the life within began to fear exceedingly that this ark should be torn asunder, and that they too should not be spared. 
¶ And it came to pass that Noah and Na’amah did pray unto Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh (אהיה אשר אהיה The Creator), saying: YHVH, be gracious unto us, spare us from this evil! 
And so it was that a wind did pass over the ark, and the waters were still; the rain had ceased and did begin to shrink away. 
¶ And it came to pass that Na’amah did send forth the raven and an ambassador to seek and return; and the raven did share his wisdom until the waters were dried up in that land. 
And so it was that Na’amah did send forth the dove from Noah to test the ground, and she did return unto them for there was no place to rest her feet. 
And it came to pass that in seven days, they did send out that dove again, and she did return an olive leaf unto them. 
And so it was that seven days after this, YHVH Elohim did break the seal of the ark, and life did spring forth once more upon the land. 
¶ And it came to pass that in the first year, the ark was a shelter for Noah and Na’amah and their family. 
And so it was that on the twenty-seventh day of the second month of the second year after the unsealing of the ark that the people did leave the ark to begin to till the soil of that land. 
¶ And it came to pass that the garments of skin which God made for Adam and his wife, when they went out of the garden, had been given to Seth after the death of Adam and Eve, 
And so it was that the garments were passed down to Enoch, the son of Jared, and his wives, which is to say that the signs and tokens were passed down; 
Yet the garments of Eden were kept in a box that those who knew them should make their own using the same markings which YHVH Elohim had taught to Adam and Eve. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Enoch and his wives were taken up to Ha’Yohtzar Ha’Or (רואה רציה He Who did Fashion/Create the Light), they did give the garments of skin to Methuselah, their son. 
And so it was that Noah and Na’amah did keep them; and they did bring them to the ark, and they were with them until they did go out of that ark. 
And it came to pass that Ham did take that box with those garments from Noah his father and Na’amah his mother, and he did steal them and hid them from his brothers. 
And so it was that the box was passed down, father to son, until they were given unto Nimrod. 
¶ And it came to pass that Nimrod became strong once he did put the garments upon himself, and YHVH did give him courage and strength: 
And so it was that he became a mighty hunter in the land; yea, and he hunted the animals and he built altars, and he did offer a portion of the animals upon the altar before YHVH. 
¶ And it came to pass that as Nimrod did strengthen himself, he did rise up from amongst his brethren, and he did fight the battles of his brethren against all their enemies round about. 
And so it was that YHVH did deliver all the enemies of his brethren in his hands, and Ha’Elohim did prosper him, and he reigned upon that land; 
Therefore, it was said in those days that when a man should usher forth any who had been trained in battle, he would say to them: 
Even as Ha’Elohim did to Nimrod, who was a mighty hunter in the lands, and who did deliver his brethren from the hands of their enemies, so might Ha’Elohim strengthen us and deliver us this day. 
¶ And it came to pass that Nimrod, having conquered his enemies, all his brethren, together with those who knew him before, did make him king over them. 
And so it was that Nimrod did set over his subjects and people, princes, judges, and rulers, as is the custom amongst kings. 
And it came to pass that after having conquered all his enemies around, he did advise with his counselors to build a city for his palace. 
And so it was that they did find a place in the land to the East, and there they built a large city, and Nimrod called the name of the city that he built Shin’ar (שִׁנְעָר), for YHVH Elohim had vehemently shaken his enemies and destroyed them. 
¶ And it came to pass that Nimrod did dwell in Shin’ar, and he reigned securely, and he did subdue all his enemies, and he prospered in all his battles, and his kingdom was very great. 
And so it was that in his pride, Nimrod did turn away from YHVH Elohim, who is YHVH El Racham (םוּחר לא הוהי YHVH God of Lovingkindness), and his wife, Sammur Amat, did lead the people into iniquity. 
And the people did worship Nimrod as a god over them, and they did bow down unto the elohim of man, gods of wood and stone made of their hands.

Chapter 9

And it came to pass that a star did come up from out of the east, and that star did run with great speed, and many did see that star swallow up four great stars from out of the four corners of the heavens. 
And so it was that the people of YHVH Elohim did know, for these did know to read the stars, that a mighty prophet should be born, one who should inherit all the lands, and whose seed should carry the name YHVH unto the four corners of the Earth. 
And the prophet born this day was of the house of Terrah, and his name was Abram, who would rise up to be our very father, even Abraham. 
¶ And it came to pass that Abram did begin to seek after YHVH as a child, at but three years of age. 
And so it was that Abram would not harken unto his father, Terah; nor would he bow down to the elohim of men. 
¶ And it came to pass that Oseh Shalom (םולש השע Maker of Peace) did bless Abraham and his wife, Sarah, our mother, with great riches; 
And YHVH did make Sarah a queen in Egypt that all things in the Heavens and in the earth might be one through Sarah and Abraham. 
¶ And it came to pass that after many years of journeying, Abraham and Sarah did finally cease their wonderings, and they and their people did take possession of the land that YHVH Elohim did give them. 
And so it was that there, Sarah did give birth to her first son, the only child born of Sarah and Abraham, 
Sarah, having born a daughter with her husband, Pharaoh the king of Egypt, before it was discovered that Abraham was her husband also: 
And Pharaoh, being a man of the world, did cast her off, she and their daughter, paying our father Abraham a large sum for his silence in these matters. 
¶ And it came to pass that they did name their son Isaac, the son of promise; and he did grow strong in the things of the earth and in the things of the heavens. 
And so it was that Isaac did come to know the things of Ahman Ha’Olam (םלועה ןומא Master Architect of the World), as his father, Abraham, and his mother, Sarah, did teach them. 
And thus, when the time came for Isaac to learn all that Melchizedek had taught Abraham and Sarah, and Isaac being fifteen years of age, he did go up into the Mountain of יהוה (YHVH); yea, that very same mount where Moses and Zipporah were given the Torah. 
But Abraham did not understand the will of Ha’Rachaman (ןמחרה the Merciful One), wherefore he did think he should sacrifice his son unto Ha’Elohim. 
Yet this was a vain thing, and Abraham was rebuked by the angel of YHVH, and Isaac was rewarded for his willingness to follow in his father’s vanity. 
¶ And it came to pass that our father, Abraham, was made low and humble; and unto Isaac was given the covenant, passed down from his father and mother unto him.

Chapter 10

And it came to pass that Moses did share with me his knowledge, and I do write it that my people will remember and learn, never again to be tempted as was our father, Abraham. 
And thus saith Moses, the Lawgiver of YHVH Tsidkenu (וּנקדצ הוהי YHVH Our Righteousness): When יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim in blessing gives increases to your seed, giving you a child after your image; you shall bring him before יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim, at the temple, or in an assembly Elders; 
And they, laying their hands upon the child, shall bless it, and the child shall receive a blessing. 
And you shall not delay this; and if you should need to travel far, yet shalt you bring them before they are eight years of age. 
And this that the blessing of יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim may be put upon the child, that the heart of your seed shall seek Israel and the covenant, and its righteousness: for such is the Kingdom. 
And if the child should die, yet shall your seed live in your hearts forever, for your seed is even one of you. 
And if you have servants, or kin in bondage (for there are no slaves in Israel), you will bring their seed to receive this blessing, for all of Israel be one in יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim. 
And should the stranger who dwelleth with you bring their child also, you shall take them to receive this blessing, 
For thus shall the power of the Kingdom be a shield unto their seed, and the heart of their seed shall cleave unto righteousness, that they might be established in Israel forever. 
And whosoever shall bring a child to be blessed; whether it be a father, or a mother, a master, or a mistress; the same shall teach the child to keep the Torah of יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim. 
And in this way shall you be honored as fathers and mothers in Israel; but, if you should do it not, and evil befall the child, their blood will be upon you. 
The Talmidim, High Priests, High Priestesses, and Elders, in their assemblies, and the Priest and the Priestesses thereunto appointed in the Temples of יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim, shall bless with this blessing: for, behold, it is a great sacrament. 
And this is the Torah of the blessing of infants, and it will be handed down from mouth to ear throughout the tribes of Israel, from generation to generation, forever and ever. 
And these are the teachings of Moses given for the sake of the life of mankind and for the living.

Chapter 11

And it came to pass that Zipporah did share with me her wisdom, and I do write it that my people will remember and learn. 
And thus saith Zipporah, High Priestess of El Elyon: O man, why do you fall in your foolishness? 
Why do you call ignorance wisdom? And call foolishness truth? Do you not understand the purpose of the sacrifice at the altar of יהוה (YHVH)? 
Behold, Bora Olam (םלוע ארוב Creator of the World) does not need your sacrifice, but we are blessed by it, and why? 
This is because YHVH Yir’eh (הארי הוהי YHVH will provide) has asked of us to feed the poor among us: 
Wherefore the sacrifice is given first to the Levites; yea, a holy portion of the offerings as is the due of the sons of Aaron and the daughters of Miriam. 
Once the Priests and Priestesses are given their due, what remains is to be given unto the poor, the hungry, the widows, and the fatherless, that their wants and their needs be met. 
And for voluntary sacrifices, peace offerings, and thank offerings, they who do make the offering shall eat a joyful feast! 
They are to share in this meal יהוה (YHVH) with their family, and their servants, and their neighbors, and the Levites within their gates—yeah, all they to whom יהוה (YHVH) hath sent unto them. 
Therefore, what thou givest unto the least of these, this shall be your sacrifice unto Kodesh Israel (לארשי שודק Holy One of Israel); and if they receive it not, YHVH Adoni Ha’Shaboth (תבשה ןוֹדא הוהי YHVH, Lord of the Sabbath) receiveth it not also. 
And when you think to impart of your substance to Elohim Shaddai, ask yourself: How will this bless those who are my neighbors? And if it blesseth them not, then it is a vain sacrifice given by man unto man, 
But if it will lift up those around you, and the stranger at the gate, and those whom you knowth not, then it is a true sacrifice unto El’Olam (אֵ֥ל עוֹלָֽם the Everlasting God). 
Remember, remember the Torah of יהוה (YHVH), for even as Ha’Rachaman (ןמחרה the Merciful One) has given you mercy, so shall you give mercy; 
But if you demand justice (or vengeance) and refuse mercy unto others, then Ve’Daiyan Israel (לארשי ןידו Protector/Judge of Israel) shall give you vengeance (or justice) also. 
And these are the teachings of Zipporah given for the sake of the life of mankind and for the living.

Chapter 12

And it came to pass that Moses did share with me his knowledge, and I do write it that my people will remember and learn. 
And thus saith Moses, the Lawgiver of YHVH Tsidkenu (וּנקדצ הוהי YHVH Our Righteousness): There shall not be found among the people of Israel any who sacrifice his son or daughter in the fire, or who should put to death any human as a sacrifice unto Ha’Elohim. 
And Thou shalt not sacrifice unto יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim, any bullock or sheep wherein there is blemish or any that is mangled; for this is detestable unto YHVH, your Elohim. 
And why is this? Because Israel is a holy people unto יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim; therefore, your offering shall be holy. 
And they who do eat of it, do it in remembrance of the blood which was shed for them; for all that you do eat, the blood of it must be shed. 
And that you may witness unto Abba Ha’Briy’ah (האירבה יבא Father of Creation) that you are His people, and that you do always remember Him, by seeing Yah in her (Israel’s) countenance. 
For your sacrifices are to be a feast, even a celebration, and these are the feasts of יהוה (YHVH); holy assemblies, even assemblies and feasts unto יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim. 
And in your feasts of love, in your solemn assemblies, in your humiliation, and in your sorrow, just as you separate the blood from the sacrifice, you shall not feed the people meat alone, 
But you will separate out from among the best of your wine, a sacrifice of the juice of fruit, and just as with the sacrifice of the bread of grain, a portion be consecrated unto YHVH Raphacha (ךאפר הוהי YHVH Heals/Restores), 
That every Sabbath the Priest shall set the bread in order before YHVH continually, being taken from Israel by an everlasting covenant. 
And the bread shall be even as the body, and the wine the blood, for you will not drink the blood; the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar. 
And this feast is as one great sacrifice, given willingly as an offering for the sins of the world. 
And they who are washed of their sins, and have a pure conscience before Ve’Daiyan Israel (לארשי ןידו Protector/Judge of Israel), shall eat and drink thereof at the hands of the talmidim and High Priests, who shall consecrate it, and the Priests and Elders who shall minister it, that, partaking of the sacrifice, they may lay hold on eternal life. 
For this is the one great sacrifice, the broken heart and contrite spirit unto the giving of yourselves to another, which except ye eat of it, there is no life in you. 
And now, when you eat of the sacrifice, beware how you eat of it: for in the spirit in which ye eat and drink, shall ye be confirmed and strengthened. 
And if you do eat and drink of the great sacrifice in purity of purpose, not offending against YHVH Adoni Ha’Shaboth (תבשה ןוֹדא הוהי YHVH, Lord of the Sabbath) nor any person, and then all your former sins will be blotted out of the Book of Remembrance; 
Yea, you will be established in righteousness and grow up into everlasting life. 
But, if ye eat of it and drink of it in judgment of another, and without remorse, you do eat and drink condemnation, consigning yourself to your iniquities; 
Therefore, when ye come to the altar of sacrifice, the table of יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim, to eat of it, looking inward to see if you have done injustice to anyone, for an injury to your neighbor is iniquity against YHVH Raphacha (ךאפר הוהי YHVH Heals/Restores). 
Wherefore, may you humble yourselves before YHVH El Racham (םוּחר לא הוהי YHVH God of Lovingkindness) and make restitution to your neighbors; 
And may you come with clean hands and a pure heart to this, the most holy sacrifice, for it is the giving of yourself and the best of your fruits, or it is not a sacrifice unto Elohim Shaddai El’Olam (אֵ֥ל עוֹלָֽם the Everlasting God). 
It would be better that you should bring an unclean animal to sacrifice, than to be unclean in your sacrifice. 
And these are the teachings of Moses given for the sake of the life of mankind and for the living.

Chapter 13

And it came to pass that Isaac, the son of Abraham and Sarah, was taught in all the ways of HaShem YHVH (השם יהוה The Name YHVH); and Isaac knew יהוה (YHVH), and יהוה (YHVH) was with him. 
And so it was that one day, after coming out from conversing with יהוה (YHVH), Isaac did see a woman of great beauty; 
And her name was Rebekah, and Isaac did take her into the tent of his mother, Sarah, and she did take him for a husband, and he did take her for a wife. 
And Rebekah was a High Priestess unto Tzur Israel (לארשי רוּצ Rock of Israel), and she did learn all the ways of HaShem YHVH (השם יהוה The Name YHVH); 
And Rebekah knew יהוה (YHVH), and saw that יהוה (YHVH) was with her husband, Isaac. 
¶ And these are the names of those that were born to Abraham's brother Nachowr (Nahor, נָחוֹר; with the breath of a spirited horse) and Milkah (מִלְכָּה; queen/royalty), his first wife: Uts (Uz, עוּץ; he who counsels with them), Booz (Buz, בּוּז; God has poured out judgment), Allonah (אלונה; oak tree); and Qmuv’el (Kemuel, קְמוּאֵל; raised of God), Kesed (כֶּשֶׂד; God is Mercy), Chazov (Chazo, חֲזוֹ; he who sees/seer); and No’omi (Naomi, נָעֱמִי; pleasant), Pildash (פִלְדָּשׁ; he weeps), Yidlaph (Jidlaph, יִדְלָף; he who pours out); and Bethuw’el (Bethuel, בְּתוּאֵל; man of God/house of God),  and Tirzah (תִּרְצָה; she is my delight), being eight sons and three daughters. 
¶ And Nachowr and Milkah had another wife, and her name was Re’umah (Reumah, רְאוּמָה; she is lifted up); 
And Re’umah and Nachowr did bear four sons: Zebach (זֶבַח; an offering), Gacham (Gaham, גַּחַם; he is as a flame of fire), Tachash (Tahash, תַּחַשׁ; furry), and Ma’akah (Maacah, מַעֲכָה; pressed down). 
And the children that were born to Nachowr were twelve sons and three daughters, and they also had children born to them in Haran. 
¶ And it came to pass that Uts, the first born of Nachowr, did marry, and together they did bear four sons and one daughter; and Booz did marry, and together they did bear four sons; and Allonah did take a husband, and together they did bear three sons and two daughters; 
And Qmuv’el did marry, and together they did bear two sons; and Kesed did marry, and together they did bear four sons; Chazov did marry, and together they did bear three sons; 
And No’omi did take a husband, and together they did bear one son and three daughters; and Pildash did marry, and together they did bear four sons; and Yidlaph did marry, and together they did bear three sons; 
And Bethuw’el did marry, and together they did bear two sons and one daughter; and Tirzah did take a husband, and together they did bear six sons and one daughter. 
¶ And the children of Bethuw’el and Deborah (דְּבּוֹרָה; her words do sting) were Sechar (סחר; the reward of my labor), Laban (לבן; he who is "white” or he who is pure), and their sister Rebecca. 
¶ And so it was that Zipporah did speak her wisdom, saying: See that all of Israel is one people, for the seed of Terah was many; and his seed did beget many sons: 
And the sons and daughters of Terah did mix, that the seed of Abraham should be great. 
And so it shall be that the seed of Abraham and Sarah had mixed with the seed of Nachowr that the seed of Terah be one. 
And so it shall be that the seed of Abraham and Sarah shall mix with the seed of their other wives that the seed of Abraham be one; and these shall even mix with all the seed of the Gentiles. 
And it shall come to pass that in the last days, all the seed of Abraham and Sarah, even Israel, shall fill the whole earth, and bless it; 
And any that are not of the seed of Abraham shall be adopted in, and given a house, for they shall be a part of the marriage covenant. 
And then shall the promise of Ha’Kadosh Israel (לארשי שודק the Holy One of Israel) be fulfilled, for the seed of Abraham and Sarah shall be in their many generations as numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand upon the earth.

Chapter 14

And it came to pass that Isaac and Rebekah had learned the wisdom and knowledge passed down from Ha’Kadosh Israel (לארשי שודק the Holy One of Israel) to Melchizedek, and from Melchizedek unto Abraham and Sarah, and from Abraham unto Isaac and Rebekah, and from Isaac and Rebekah unto Jacob, and from Jacob unto his wives: Rachel (the first wife of his heart) and Leah (his first wife of tradition) and Bilhah and Zilpah, and from Jacob Joseph and unto all of Israel. 
And thus was the story of Adam and Eve passed down from mouth to ear and through the rituals of Ha’Tzur Israel (לארשי רוּצ the Rock of Israel). 
And Moses and Zipporah did teach it unto me, and I do teach it unto the righteous, for this is the Book of the Upright. 
¶ And it came to pass that Alohykm did dwell from before this creation, from eternity to eternity, or from En Sof to En Sof; therefore, Alohykm is En Sof. 
And so it was that Alohykm Ahman Ha’Olam (םלועה ןומא Master Architect of the World) did send forth YHVH Adoni Ha’Shaboth (תבשה ןוֹדא הוהי YHVH, Lord of the Sabbath), who is Ha’Yohtzar Ha’Or (רואה רציה He Who did Fashion/Create the Light) to create the elohim, and the heavens, and the earth. 
And in wisdom and knowledge, and in knowledge and wisdom were the elohim created, and thus they did go down to enact the creation. 
And it came to pass that the elohim did go down, and thus did they organize and form the heavens and the earth, the foundation and the reflection of that foundation. 
And the elohim did say: Let there be light! and the elohim did cause that the light be divided from the darkness. 
And in this mankind might see and might know the light of eternal life and the darkness of eternal death. 
And the elohim did call that light day, and that darkness they did call night, and this was done by the power of Bora Olam (םלוע ארוב Creator of the World); therefore, it was good. 
And it came to pass that the evening and the morning were the first age. 
¶ And it came to pass that elohim spoke, saying: Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, and let it divide the waters from the waters! 
And so it was that this was done, for the elohim did obey the Word of Ha’Yohtzar Ha’Or (רואה רציה He Who did Fashion/Create the Light). 
And the elohim did say: Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and it shall divide the waters from the waters! 
And the expanse was divided, the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so, even as they desired. 
And the elohim did call the firmament the Heavens; and being the second time, it was the second age. 
¶ And it came to pass that the elohim, under the watchful eye of Ahman Ha’Olam (םלועה ןומא Master Architect of the World) did say: Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place! and it was so. 
And so it was that the elohim did say: Let there be dry land, yea and let the earth come up dry! and it was so as they ordered in the name of Yachad Yachid Echad. 
And the elohim did call her, the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters, him they called the Sea. 
And it came to pass that the elohim did see that all things which had been made were good. 
And so it was that the elohim did say: Let the earth bring forth upon her grass, the herb yielding seed, the fruit tree yielding fruit, after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed should be in itself upon the earth! 
And the elohim did organize the earth to bring forth grass from its own seed, and the herb to bring forth herb from its own seed, yielding seed after his kind; 
And they did cause her to bring forth the tree from its own seed, yielding fruit, whose seed could only bring forth the same in itself, after his kind. 
And from the beginning of their labor until the end of it they did call the third age. 
¶ And it came to pass that the elohim did say: Let there be two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night! 
And so it is that the greater light is Shemesh, for the sun be both male and female; and the lesser light she is Yareach, the moon; 
And Kochevim are the stars, and even these were made according to their word. 
And having thus organized the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night; 
Yea and behold, these were even created in their own time, the sun even before the earth; yet all things at this time did fall into their place that these things should work for the benefit of mankind; 
For Bora Olam (םלוע ארוב Creator of the World) did desire the elohim set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to cause to divide the light from the darkness, and for signs and for seasons, 
And the Torah was written upon the Kochevim. 
And Ahman Ha’Olam (םלועה ןומא Master Architect of the World) did see that all things which had made were good. 
And because it was the fourth time, thus it was the fourth age. 
¶ And the elohim did say: Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl which may fly above the earth in the open firmament of the heavens! 
And so it was that the elohim did prepare the waters that they might bring forth the dragons and the great ones, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters were to bring forth abundantly after their kind; and every winged fowl after their kind. 
And the elohim did see that they would be obeyed and that the plan was good. 
And Ahman Ha’Olam (םלועה ןומא Master Architect of the World) did bless them, saying: Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the sea; and let fowl multiply in the earth. 
And from the beginning of it until the end it they did call the fifth age. 
¶ And it came to pass that the elohim did speak, saying: Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind! and it was so. 
And so it was that all the beasts of the earth were made after their kind, and cattle after their kind, and everything which creepeth upon the earth after its kind; and all these things were good. 
And it came to pass that Yah Alohykm did say unto the elohim: Let us make mankind in our image, after our likeness! 
And the elohim did take counsel to organize mankind in their own image, and in the image of Ha’Elohim, male and female were given form. 
And Ahman Ha’Olam (םלועה ןומא Master Architect of the World) did say: Let them watch over and keep the fishes of the sea, and the fowl of the air, and the cattle, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 
And it came to pass that YHVH Adoni Ha’Shaboth (תבשה ןוֹדא הוהי YHVH, Lord of the Sabbath) did say unto mankind: Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in the which shall be the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein I grant life, there shall be given every clean herb for meat. 
And so it was that the elohim did see everything that had been made, and behold, all things which had been made were very good. 
And they numbered this the sixth labor; therefore, it was the sixth age. 
¶ And it came to pass that the elohim did finish the heavens and the earth, and all the hosts of them. 
And so it was that the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God, or the children of Elohim, did shout for joy. 
And thus on the seventh day the elohim did end the work and did rest on the seventh day from all things which they had made were finished, and YHVH Adoni Ha’Shaboth (תבשה ןוֹדא הוהי YHVH, Lord of the Sabbath) saw that they were good. 
And the elohim saw this and said among themselves: On the seventh time we will end our work, which we have counseled; and we will rest on the seventh time from all our work which we have counseled. 
And thus it was that all they had counseled to form in the heavens and on the earth were created. 
And thus Bora Olam (םלוע ארוב Creator of the World) did bless the seventh day, and sanctified it, and did call it Sabbath; because in it did Ahman Ha’Olam (םלועה ןומא Master Architect of the World) rest from all the work which was made.

Chapter 15

And we know that the king and queens of Salem, the City of Peace, did rule over the land in peace; 
And the name of that king was Melchizedek, and Melchizedek is a High Priest unto El Elyon, even unto this day; therefore, he was the king, High Priest, and prophet of the people, a mighty seer was he. 
And the names of the queens are: Migdalah (מגדלה, she who watches over from the tower; anglicized today into Magdaline), Aisha (עיישה, she who lives), Zuwbah (זוּבה, flowing in abundance), Nharah (נְהָרָה, her light), Mandanah (מנדנה, everlasting), Yameelah (יאמלה, full of grace), and Ruqayyah (רוקייה, protection); 
And Migdalah is a High Priestess unto El Elyon, even unto this day; yea, and all the queens are Priestesses of El Elyon—Migdalah being queen in the First Degree, to watch over all the Priestesses in Salam. 
And Migdalah worked in the temple of Salem, and Aisha did feed the people, and Zuwbah did pour our libations in the temple of Oseh Shalom (םולש השע Maker of Peace), 
And Nharah did teach the people of Salam, and Manadanah did wash the people clean in the living waters, 
And Yameelah did watch over the gardens and teach the children to tend to the earth, and Ruqayyah did guard the walls and lead troops into battle; 
Therefore, all of the queens of Salam did take hold of their duties to lead, and to teach, and to protect the people in righteousness; for they were queens and priestesses of Shalom YHVH (הוהי םולש Peace of YHVH), the Most High God. 
¶ And it came to pass that our mother, Sarah, was ordained High Priestess after the order of Migdalah, even as Abraham was ordained High Priest after the order of Melchizedek; 
And so it was that Abraham became the Adam and Sarah became the Eve of their generation, blessed to multiply and replenish the earth: 
And this was passed down father to son and to their wives, even until we see that Moses and Zipporah are the Adam and the Eve of their day in this generation; 
Therefore, we know that Melchizedek and Migdalah are High Priest and High Priestess of El Elyon, even unto this day. 
¶ And behold, before Eve was brought into the Presence of the Garden of Paradise, mankind was created, male and female, and the names of them were Adam and Lilith.

The Book of the Wars of YHVH

The Book of Wars of the LORD

The Battles of Israel, as recorded by Joshua, son of Nun, the Servant of Moses.

Chapter 1

And it came to pass that in the thirty-second year from the time that Israel (straight to God) did leave Egypt by the hand of Moses (Mosheh, to draw up) and the power of יהוה (YHVH), that יהוה (YHVH) did come unto Moses, saying: 
Take Joshua (Yehoshua, יהוה is salvation), the son of Nun (to increase), thy servant, and have him write these things as a memorial for thee in a book (or scroll). 
And Moses did so, and he took a book (or scroll) and gave it unto Joshua, the son of Nun, and he did write upon it the words of יהוה (YHVH) given by Moses, saying: 
Remember what Amalek (the descendants of Esau; they who toil) hath done unto thee in the road when thou traveled forth from Egypt (the world). 
And who was it that did meet thee in the road and smote thy rear, even those that were feeble behind thee when thou wast faint and weary? 
So it shall be that when יהוה (YHVH), thy Elohim, shall have given all ye rest from all your enemies round about in the land which יהוה (YHVH), thy Elohim, giveth thee for an inheritance, to possess it. 
And therefore, I say unto thee: That when thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens, thou shalt write it down that ye not forget it. 
And the king who shall have pity on Amalek, or upon his memory, or upon his seed: behold, I will not coddle him, and I will cut him off from amongst his people. 
And Joshua did write all these things in the book, and he instructed the children of Israel (straight to God) regarding all these matters.

Chapter 2

And it came to pass that in the darkness of the night of the first Passover, that יהוה (YHVH) did go forth in the midst of Egypt (the world), 
And death did fall upon all the firstborn of all the Egyptians, from the firstborn of the humans to the firstborn of the beasts: 
And so it was that Pharaoh did rise up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians to find their firstborn dead, 
And so it was that there was a great cry throughout all of Egypt that night, for there was not a house without the blood of the lamb in which there was not dead to be found. 
And all the Egyptians that did see this tragedy which did come suddenly upon them did weep that night, each one for their sons and their daughters, being the first born. 
¶ And it came to pass that Pharaoh did seek Moses (Mosheh, to draw up) and Aaron (exalted) and Joshua (Yehoshua, יהוה is salvation), in their houses, and there they did find them, eating and drinking, and rejoicing with all Israel (straight to God). 
And Pharaoh did say unto Moses: Is this the reward for the good which I have done to thee, to let thy people sojourn in my land? 
And Moses spoke unto Pharaoh, saying: Surely did not יהוה (YHVH) bring these ten plagues upon Egypt; 
Did any injury accrue to thee from any of them? did not one of them affect thee before this night? 
And Moses spoke further, saying: Although thou art the firstborn of thy mother, thou shalt not die, and no evil shall reach thee in the midst of Egypt. 
¶ And Pharaoh, even the very king of Egypt, prayed to Moses, saying: Rise up and take your brethren, 
All the children of Israel who are in the land, with their sheep and oxen, and all belonging to them, 
They shall leave nothing remaining, only pray for me to יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim. 
¶ And Moses said unto Pharaoh: Behold though thou art the first born of thy mother, yet fear not, for thou shall not die this night, 
For יהוה (YHVH) has commanded that thou shalt live, in order to show thee His great might and strong stretched out arm. 
¶ And it came to pass that Pharaoh did order the children of Israel to be sent away, and so it was that all the Egyptians strengthened themselves to send them, 
For they said: We are all to die should Israel not be sent out to worship their Elohim. 
¶ And it came to pass that the children of Israel asked of the Egyptians, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, 
And so it was that the children of Israel did strip the Egyptians of their precious things. 
And the Egyptians did send the Israelites forth, with great riches, sheep and oxen and precious things, and they did give unto them anything they desired to see them leave their land. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses hastened and rose up and brought up from the sepulture the body of Joseph and took it with him.

Chapter 3

And it came to pass that after their days of mourning, that Pharaoh did gather up many men to chase after Israel to make them return to Egypt, 
For the people of that land did think to regret that they had sent the Israelites away from their servitude. 
For Pharaoh did say: Surely Moses and Aaron spoke to me, saying: We shall travel but three days journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim; 
Now, therefore, let us rise up early in the morning and cause them to return. 
And it shall be that if they return with us to Egypt, to their masters, then shall we know that there is faith in them; 
But if they will not return, then shall we fight with them, that they should return unto servitude by our great power and a strong hand. 
And Pharaoh did then rise up in the morning with his mighty army, and they went forth from Egypt on that day, and came to the place where the children of Israel were gathered. 
¶ And it came to pass that the Egyptians saw and beheld Moses and Aaron and Joshua, and all the children of Israel were sitting, eating and drinking, and celebrating at the feast of יהוה (YHVH). 
And when Pharaoh, king of Egypt, saw that the children of Israel did not hearken to him, and that they appeared not to return to Egypt, he did command his people to make war with Israel. 
And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did strengthen the hearts of the children of Israel over the Egyptians, 
And Joshua, son of Nun (to increase), servant of Moses did lead Israel that a sore battle was upon the Egyptians. 
And so it was that all the Egyptians did flee from before the children of Israel, for many of them did perish by the hand of Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that Pharaoh did call out before his men, saying: The children of Israel have fled, and will no more return to Egypt, and who shall do our burdens? 
And in the army of Pharaoh, said each man unto his brother: What is this which we have done, that we have sent Israel from our servitude? 
And so it was that the hearts of the army of Pharaoh was strengthened against יהוה (YHVH), and they did again forget the plagues in their vanities.

Chapter 4

And it came to pass that Pharaoh did rise up and command his armies to again pursue the children of Israel, and they did reach them encamping about the Red Sea. 
And the children of Israel did lift up their eyes, and they did behold all the Egyptians pursuing them, and the children of Israel, being sore afraid, did cry out unto Moses. 
¶ And it came to pass that the children of Israel were divided, for they were sore afraid of the Egyptians knowing not what to do; and Moses did speak unto them. 
And so it was that there were some that feared Egypt even unto the casting of themselves into the sea, 
For they were sore afraid of the Egyptians and feared what would become of them should they return into bondage, that they should drown before they would return to that bondage. 
And there were those that resolved to go back to Egypt with the Egyptians and plead for mercy in their servitude. 
And there were those that resolved to confound the Egyptians, that they might sneak away from them and escape. 
And there were those that resolved to go with Joshua, son of Nun, to meet the Egyptians to fight with them that they be not taken, for these would rather die than return to their bondage. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses spoke, saying unto them: Fear not, stand still and see the salvation of יהוה (YHVH) which He will show unto thee this day; 
For as you have seen the Egyptians this day, so shall you see them no more forever. 
Yea, stand in your places, for יהוה (YHVH) will fight for us, and ye shall remain silent; fear not, only call unto יהוה (YHVH) that He may save us from out of their hands. 
¶ And it came to pass that after this, Moses did rise up from amidst the people, and he did pray unto יהוה (YHVH), saying: O יהוה (YHVH), Elohim over the whole of the earth: 
Here now are thy people whom Thou didst bring forth from Egypt, and let not the Egyptians boast that power and might are theirs! 
And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did speak unto Moses, saying: Speak now unto the children of Israel that they shall proceed, 
And stretch out thy rod that thou did bless in my name upon the sea to divide it, even as I have shown thee, and the children of Israel shall pass through it. 
And it came to pass that the malak of Ha’Elohim, who had gone before the Israelites, withdrew, moving behind them; 
And so it was that the column of mist moved also from the front of the Israelites and stood behind them; 
So it did come between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; 
The column of mist was there when darkness came, and it lit up the night that neither side came near the other all night long. 
And it came to pass that Moses did stretch out his hand over the sea, that all night יהוה (YHVH) did push back the sea with a strong East wind and turned that sea into dry ground; 
And so it was that the water did divide by the very word of יהוה (YHVH) that was spoken by the mouth of His servant, Moses. 
And it came to pass that even as Moses did lift up his rod upon the sea and instruct it, that the waters of the sea were divided into two parts; 
And the children of Israel did pass through it on foot, taking with them all their goods and belongings. 
And so it was that יהוה (YHVH) did show unto the children of Israel His wonders in Egypt and in the sea by the hand of Moses and Aaron. 
¶ And it came to pass that when the children of Israel did enter into the sea, the cloud of יהוה (YHVH) did go with them, 
And the Egyptians did see them pass through the waters on dry ground. 
And it came to pass that Pharaoh did lead his armies against them, and did chase after them, 
And so it was that the waters of the sea did fall upon the Egyptians, and they all sank in the water, and not one man was left. 
¶ And it came to pass that the war that was between the elohim of the Pharaoh of Egypt (the world), and יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel (straight to God), did come to an end; and יהוה (YHVH) was undefeated. 
And so it was that not one hair was taken from the heads of the people of Israel, for such is the strength and might of יהוה (YHVH). 
Then sang the children of Israel their song unto יהוה (YHVH), on the day that יהוה (YHVH) caused the Egyptians to fall before them. 
And it came to pass that Moses did write these things in a book.

Chapter 5

And it came to pass that in the wilderness of Sin the children of Israel did camp in Rephidim. 
And so it was that when the children of Israel were in Rephidim that Amalek the son of Eliphaz, a son of Esau, came to fight with Israel. 
And he did bring with him many strong men, and magicians and sorcerers, and these did prepare for battle with Israel: 
For the people of Amalek did fear Israel, and for this cause did they desire not to share their waters nor to let them travel through their lands; 
Therefore, the people of Amalek, to hide their white (fair) skin from the black (darker) skins of the children of Israel which had come from out of Egypt, they did cover themselves in ash that they should not be known unto them. 
And these came into the outskirts of the camps of Israel, seeking those that were not defended, attacking them unto death, even smiting their women and their children. 
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did bring Moses unto Him, saying: Behold, the people of Amalek have attacked Israel, my children; 
Therefore, send forth thy servant, Joshua, son of Nun, to gather up men to tear down the people of Amalek. 
And so it was that Moses spoke unto Joshua, saying: Choose us out men, and go out and fight with Amalek; 
Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of Ha’Elohim in mine hand. 
¶ And it came to pass that the following day, Joshua, did as Moses had said unto him and took the men of Israel and fought with Amalek; 
And it came to pass that Moses, and Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill to see the battle; 
And there, when Moses did hold up his hand, so it was that Israel prevailed; yet when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 
¶ And it came to pass that when the hands of Moses grew heavy, they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat thereon; 
And Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 
And it came to pass that Joshua, fought against Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. 
And it came to pass that the battle with the Amorites was very sore upon the children of Israel. 
And so it was that they did carry on a great and severe battle against Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did deliver Amalek and his people into the hands of the children of Israel, and into the hand of Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of Moses. 
And so it was that the children of Israel did smite Amalek and his people by the edge of the sword, but the battle was very sore upon the children of Israel; 
Yet the war that was between the elohim of the people of Amalek, and יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel, had come to an end, and יהוה (YHVH) was undefeated. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses did write these things in a book.

Chapter 6

And it came to pass that Moses and Zipporah, his wife, did go up into the Mount of Strength, and there did יהוה (YHVH) give unto Israel His Torah; 
And Joshua, the son of Nun did go with them, yet not up unto יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim. 
¶ And it came to pass that Aaron was greatly afraid of the people, and they did bring him gold and he did put it into the fire, 
And out of the fire came a calf for the people to worship, for they did forget יהוה (YHVH), their Elohim, and Moses, and their covenant unto יהוה (YHVH). 
And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did say to Moses, before he did come down from the mount: 
Get thee down, for thy people whom thou didst bring forth from Egypt have corrupted themselves. 
And so it was that when Moses did approach the camp, he saw the calf which had been made, and the anger of Moses was kindled, and he did break the tablets that יהוה (YHVH) had given him. 
And Moses did take the calf and burn it up with fire, and ground it till it became fine dust, and he did strew it upon the water and gave it to the Israelites to drink that a curse should not be upon them. 
And there many of the people died by the sword, all they that were cursed by the dust of the calf, for יהוה (YHVH) was not in them. 
¶ And it came to pass that the war that was between that calf that would be the elohim of the children of Jacob, and יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel, had come to an end, and יהוה (YHVH) was undefeated. 
And so it was that Moses did say to the people: I will go up to יהוה (YHVH) that I may make an atonement for your sins, for that sin which ye have sinned before יהוה (YHVH).

Chapter 7

And it came to pass that Moses did go before יהוה (YHVH) on behalf of the children of Israel, 
And so it was that יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, did hearkened to the prayers of Moses, and יהוה (YHVH) was appeased of him for Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did speak unto Moses, telling him to hew two stone tablets and to bring them up to the mount that יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, should write again upon them. 
And after Moses hewed the two tablets and went up unto the Mount, יהוה (YHVH) did write His Torah upon the tablets: 
And so it was that יהוה (YHVH) did instruct Moses in His statutes and judgments to impart to Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did instruct that the children of Israel should make a sanctuary for יהוה (YHVH), that His name (HaShem) might rest therein, 
And so it was that יהוה (YHVH) did show unto Moses the very likeness of the sanctuary and the likeness of all its vessels. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses did come unto the children of Israel and did speak unto them all the words of יהוה (YHVH), 
And Moses did teach us the Torah, and the statutes, and the judgments which יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, had taught them. 
And it came to pass that the children of Israel did rejoice greatly at all that יהוה (YHVH) had spoken unto them through His servant, Moses. 
And they said: All that יהוה (YHVH) hath spoken we will do. 
And the people rose as one and made generous offerings to the sanctuary of יהוה (YHVH), 
Each one brought their offering for the work of the sanctuary, and for all its service. 
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did speak unto Moses, that he should send twelve men from the children of Israel, one man to a tribe, to go and explore the land of promise. 
And so it was that Moses did send the twelve men, and they came to the land to search and examine it, and Joshua, the son of Nun, did go before them. 
¶ And it came to pass that they did explore the land for forty days and forty nights, and at the end of forty days came they again to Moses, 
And so it was that they did bring unto Moses word as it was in their hearts. 
¶ And it came to pass that ten of the men brought up an evil report, saying: It is better for us to return to Egypt than to go to such a land. 
And so it was that Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, gave a good report from their hearts, saying: The land is exceedingly good; 
Yeah, and if יהוה (YHVH) delight in us, then shall He bring us to this land and give it to us, for it is a land flowing with milk and honey. 
¶ And it came to pass that the children of Israel would not hearken to Joshua, and Caleb, but they did hearken unto the word of the ten men who had given up an evil report from the fear in their hearts. 
And so it was that יהוה (YHVH) did hear their murmurings and was wroth, saying: 
Surely not one man of this wicked generation shall see the land from twenty years old and upward excepting Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua, the son of Nun. 
Surely this is a wicked generation and shall perish in this wilderness, and their children shall come to the land, and they shall possess it; 
So it was that the anger of יהוה (YHVH) was kindled against the children of Israel (straight to God), and they were made to wander in the wilderness for forty years, until the end of that wicked generation. 
¶ And it came to pass that after this Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men and they rose up against Moses with men from the congregation of great renown; 
And they did gather themselves together against Moses and they did say unto him: 
Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and יהוה (YHVH) is among us. 
And after this manner did they rise up and contend with Moses and the whole congregation. 
And so it was that יהוה (YHVH) did grow angry with them, and in His wrath did the earth open its mouth, and swallowed them up, they and all that did belong to them, and all the men that did follow after Korah. 
And it came to pass that the war that was between that Korath of the children of Jacob, and יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel, did come to an end; and יהוה (YHVH) was again undefeated.

Chapter 8

And it came to pass that Miriam died in the desert of Tzin and was buried there, and Israel did mourn her. 
¶ And it came to pass that there was no water for the congregation; therefore, they did gather themselves together in their anger. 
And so it was that Israel did chide with Moses, saying: Would Ha’Elohim that we had died when our brethren died before יהוה (YHVH)! 
And why have you brought up the congregation of יהוה (YHVH) unto this desolation, that we and our flocks should die here? 
And why for did you bring us from out of Egypt unto this evil place? It is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses and Aaron went from the assembly into the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and there they did fall upon their faces. 
And so it was that the glory of יהוה (YHVH) did appear unto them; and יהוה (YHVH) did speak unto Moses, saying: 
Take thy rod up and gather the assembly together, thou and Aaron, thy brother, and speak unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water: 
Do this and thou shalt bring forth unto them water from out of that rock; so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink. 
And so it was that the rod that had been created in the twilight (Hebrew: nesheph, from nashaph, “to blow”) in that same manner as the coats of skin that were made and given unto our first parents, even Adam (mankind) and Eve (Chavah, life); 
And these were delivered them as they did come out from that garden: 
And Adam (mankind) did pass them down and these did pass through the hand of Enoch, and Noah, until they did come into the hands of Joseph who was sold into Egypt. 
And so it was that when the father of Zipporah, Jethro, who was a friend of Ha’Elohim, did see the symbols that were carved upon the staff of Moses, he did say: 
This one shall redeem Israel (straight to God) from Egypt (the world). 
And so it was that he rejoiced that he did give his daughter unto Moses to wife, for she was a High Priestess unto יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses did take the rod of power from before יהוה (YHVH) even as יהוה (YHVH) had instructed Moses. 
And so it was that Moses and Aaron stood before the congregation and they did gather together before the rock. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses did say unto them: Hear now, ye rebels! Must we fetch you water out of this rock? 
And so it was that Moses did lift up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice; and the water came out abundantly; and the congregation drank, and their beasts also. 
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did speak unto Moses and Aaron, saying: 
Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. 
¶ And it came to pass that the war that was in the hearts of the children of Jacob, and יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel, had come to an end, and יהוה (YHVH) was once again undefeated. 
And this was the water of Meribah because the children of Israel strove with יהוה (YHVH), and יהוה (YHVH) did show unto them of His holiness.

Chapter 9

And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did speak unto Moses, saying: Provoke not the children of Esau, for I will not give unto you of anything belonging to them; 
Therefore, fight not against the children of Esau your brethren, for nothing in their land belongs to you: 
But ye might buy food of them for money and eat it, and you might buy water of them for money and drink it. 
And so it was that the children of Israel did even according to the word of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses did send messengers unto the king of Edom, saying: 
Thus says thy brother Jacob: Let me pass I pray thee through thy land, we will not pass through field nor vineyard, we will not drink the water of the well; we will walk in the road belonging to the king. 
And so it was that Edom said to him: Thou shalt not pass through my country, and Edom went forth to meet the children of Israel with a mighty people. 
And the children of Esau refused to let the children of Israel pass through their land. 
And so it was that the Israelites removed from them and fought not against them, 
For before this יהוה (YHVH) had commanded the children of Israel, saying: You shall not fight against the children of Esau; 
Therefore, the Israelites did remove themselves from them and did not fight against them. 
And so it was that the children of Israel did depart from before their faces, and יהוה (YHVH) was once more undefeated.

Chapter 10

And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did speak unto Moses saying: Take Aaron, thy brother, and Eleazar, his son, and bring them up unto Mount Hor, 
And there thou shall strip Aaron of his garments, and then thou shall put them upon Eleazar, his son. 
And so it was that Moses did as יהוה (YHVH) did instruct them, and they did go up into the mount in the sight of all the congregation. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses did strip Aaron of his garments and did put them upon Eleazar, his son. 
And so it was that Aaron did die there in the top of the mount; and Moses and Eleazar came alone down from the mount. 
¶ And it came to pass that when all the congregation did see that Aaron was dead, they did mourn for thirty days, even all the house of Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that the king of the Canaanites to the south did hear by the way of his spies that the Israelites had come. 
And so it was that he did gather his armies to fight against the Israelites. 
And it came to pass that the children of Israel were sore afraid, for he had a large and mighty army, 
And so it was that the children of Israel did turn back for three days, so great was their fear of him. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Joshua, the son of Nun, did see that the children of Israel would not turn back, he did grow angry for the sake of יהוה (YHVH). 
And so it was that Joshua did rise up and face Israel, and forced them to turn back to their place, that they should be even where יהוה (YHVH) did send them. 
¶ And it came to pass that when they did return, the king of the Canaanites was still gathering his troops to do battle against Israel. 
And so it was that Joshua, son of Nun, did go before יהוה (YHVH), and there he vowed a vow, saying: If thou wilt deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities. 
And it came to pass that Ha’Elohim did hear the voice of Joshua, servant of Moses, 
And so it was that יהוה (YHVH) did deliver the Canaanites into our hand, and יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, did utterly destroy them and their cities. 
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, did slay their elohim, and all in that land that would not follow El Elyon; and יהוה (YHVH) was once more undefeated.

Chapter 11

And it came to pass that the children of Israel continued on their journey and they did pitch their tents to find rest at Vaheb by the Red Sea, 
And the valley did stretch out unto a roaring stream, even as the slopes of the rushing water did stretch out unto Ar and did lie along the border of Moab. 
¶ And it came to pass that Israel did journey from Vaheb by the Red Sea and the valley of the Arnon, 
And even the very slopes of the valley that did stretch out to sit in Ar that doeth lie along the border of the land belonging to the descendants of Lot. 
And there did the people speak up against Ha’Elohim and against Moses. 
And they did speak as such: Ye have brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness! 
For here there is no bread; nor is there any water; and we do hate that which we have found to eat! 
And so it was that Ha’Elohim heard Israel in their moaning and thus יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, was sore in His wrath against them. 
And looking out into the land, יהוה (YHVH) did round up the fiery serpents of that place and did set them against Israel and they did bite the people. 
¶ And it came to pass that after many did perish in Israel, the people did come to Moses and said: We have sinned! 
For we have spoken against Ha’Elohim and against thee; pray unto יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, that He take away the serpents from us! 
And so did Moses go and make an atonement for the people of Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that the angel of יהוה (YHVH) did come to Joshua and Moses, saying: Make thee a serpent of nechosheth and set it upon a pole; 
And it shall come to pass that every one that is bitten, when they looketh upon it, they shall live; 
But they who shall not look, these shall perish, and this shall be as a sign unto this people the easiness of the ways of יהוה (YHVH), should they hear and heed the Voice. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses made a serpent of nechosheth and put it upon a pole; 
And so it was that if a serpent had bitten one of Israel, when they did look upon the serpent of nechosheth, they did live; 
Yet if they would not look, for the simpleness of the task, then they were taken to the grave. 
¶ And it came to pass that the angel of יהוה (YHVH) did come again unto Joshua and Moses saying: 
Behold this Nehushtan, the serpent of nechosheth set it upon this pole, for it is a sign of things to come: 
For in that day that the Son of Man shall come in the flesh, He shall be seen as a fiery serpent sent to poison Israel, for he shall cast out demons; therefore they shall say that he is one of them. 
And they shall take him, and they shall lift him upon a pole, and they shall kill him; 
Yet the son of man is the master of life and therefore death is not subject unto him! 
Therefore, all they that shall have faith and look upon him shall live, 
For there is no other name given here upon the earth nor above in the heavens whereby mankind can be saved. 
And for this cause, ye shall teach unto this people that they are to take upon themselves the Name (HaShem), and this that they might live. 
And so it was that יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, did cure Israel of the poison of those fiery serpents and they that did rebel against יהוה (YHVH); and יהוה (YHVH) was again undefeated.

Chapter 12

And it came to pass that when Israel did abide in Shittim, the people began to commit whoredoms with the priestesses that were kept in the temple of Baal Peor; 
And so it was that these women did call unto them until the seed of Jacob did desire to be with them; 
¶ And it was then that the seed of Jacob did offer unto Baal Peor sacrifices; and the people did eat and bowed down to their elohim and enter into fornication. 
And the temple of Baal of Peor was kept by Balaam, son of Bosor, a high priest of Balak; 
For when Balaam, son of Beor would not curse Israel, for he was a prophet of יהוה (YHVH), then did Balak command his high priest to bring the people of Israel into sin against יהוה (YHVH): 
And so it was that the seed of Jacob did join themselves unto Baal of Peor; and the anger of יהוה (YHVH) was kindled against all of Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did say unto Moses: This people hath brought this plague amongst them; 
Therefore, hang them up before against the sun, that my fierce anger be turned away from them. 
And Moses gathered up the judges of Israel, saying: Find ye every man that were joined unto Baal of Peor and gather them up and cast them to the side (quarantine them). 
¶ And it came to pass that one of the children of Israel (straight to God) came and brought unto his brethren a priestess of Baal of Peor against her will in the sight of Moses and all the congregation of the children of Israel. 
And so it was that when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the High Priest, did see him and heard her weeping, he did rise up from amongst the congregation and took a spear in his hand; 
And he went after the son of Jacob into the tent and thrust the son of Jacob through, and the woman was set free, for she did come up into the camp unwillingly. 
¶ And it came to pass that because of the mercy of Phinehas, the plague was stayed from the children of Israel; 
But unto the seed of Jacob, these were not spared; and those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand. 
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) came unto Moses, saying: Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the Priest, 
He hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, for he was zealous for my sake; therefore, I consume not the children of Israel in my jealousy. 
And I do give unto him my covenant of peace; and he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, 
And this because he was zealous for his Elohim and made an atonement for the children of Israel. 
¶ Let it be known that the name of the Israelite that was slain was Zimri, the son of Salu, a noble one of a chief house among the Simeonites. 
And so it was that the name of the Midian woman was Kozbi, and she was the daughter of Tzur; and he was one of the chief councilors of Balak, king over Midian.

Chapter 13

And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) spoke unto Moses, saying: Vex the Midianites and smite them; for they did seek to curse you with my prophet, Balaam. 
And when my servant would not condemn my people but did bless Israel with my blessing, then did they seek to trap you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, 
And in the matter of Kozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was sent against you against her will, and for the sake of Baal of Peor. 
And have I not told you: Thou shalt not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a harlot, lest the land fall to fornication, and the land become full of wickedness. 
And now you see that the people of Midian did sell their daughters unto their elohim, and some of these that have made the covenant with me have gone a whoring after their foreign elohim. 
And these shall die by that plague, and I shall slay their elohim that my Israel, they that do keep the covenant, be spared. 
Wherefore, ye shall avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites; afterward you shall free their women and their children that they be gathered unto my people. 
¶ And then did it come to pass that Moses did speak unto the people, saying: Strengthen some of your men that they shall go against the Midianites and execute the vengeance of יהוה (YHVH) upon them. 
And so it was that Moses did send them and Joshua did lead them into the battle, one thousand of the men from every tribe. 
¶ And it came to pass that Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the Priest, did march forth with the holy vessels of the sanctuary and men with trumpets. 
And so it was that they did war against the Midianites as יהוה (YHVH) had commanded Moses; and they slew all the males. 
¶ And it came to pass that they did slay Balak, the king of Midian and his five nobles; Balaam also, the son of Besor, High Priest of Baal of Peor they did slay with the sword. 
And so it was that יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, did slay Baal of Peor for his wickedness in the land, for he did teach unto them to sell their children that they might get gain. 
¶ And it came to pass that the children of Israel did free all the women of Midian, and their little ones, and took for their spoils all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods. 
And they did burn all their cities wherein they dwelt with fire. 
¶ And it came to pass that they did take all the spoil and all the prey, and they brought the women and their children unto Moses and Eleazar, the High Priest. 
And so it was that Moses, and Eleazar the High Priest, and all the Elders of the congregation went forth to meet them without the camp. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses said unto them: Have ye saved all the women alive? 
And so it was that, seeing that they had saved the women and the children alive, he spoke unto them again, saying: 
Behold, all the women and children, ye shall keep them alive; 
And they shall abide without the camp seven days, and all they among you that hath killed any person or hath touched any of the slain; 
Purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day and on the seventh day. 
Yea, and purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of the hair goats, and all things made of wood. 
¶ And it came to pass that Eleazar, the High Priest, did say unto the men of war which went to the battle: 
This is the ordinance of the Torah of which יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, did teach unto Moses. 
Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead; yea, everything that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean; 
Nevertheless, it shall be purified with the water of separation; and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water. 
And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and then ye shall be clean; and afterward ye shall come into the camp. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses, and Eleazar the High Priest, did take the gold and they did bring it into the tabernacle of the congregation for a memorial for the children of Israel before יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim. 
And so it was that the war that was between Baal Peor, the elohim of Balak and Balaam, and יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel, came to an end; and יהוה (YHVH) was undefeated.

Chapter 14

And it came to pass that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle; and when they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, that, behold, that land was a place for cattle, 
And so it was that the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying: 
Behold, Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon, 
Even the country which יהוה (YHVH) did smite before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle; and thy servants have cattle; 
Therefore, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben: Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here? 
And why then should you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which יהוה (YHVH) hath given for an inheritance? 
Is this the fear of your fathers when I sent them over to see the land? 
For when they went up into the valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim had given them. 
And so it was that the anger of יהוה (YHVH) was kindled the same time, and he swore, saying: 
Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I gave unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob because they have not wholly followed me, 
Save Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, the Kenezite, and Joshua, the son of Nun; for they have wholly followed יהוה (YHVH). 
And the wrath of יהוה (YHVH) was kindled against Israel, and thus He did make them wander in the wilderness forty years until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of יהוה (YHVH) was consumed. 
And now behold, ye are risen up in the stead of your fathers, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of יהוה (YHVH) toward Israel. 
For if ye turn away from after our Elohim, יהוה (YHVH) will yet again leave you in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people. 
¶ And it came to pass that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad did come near unto him and said: 
We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle and cities for our little ones; 
But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel until we have brought them unto their place; 
And our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land. 
And we will not return unto our houses until the children of Israel have inherited everyone their inheritance; 
For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan or forward because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of Jordan eastward. 
¶ And so it was that Moses said unto them: If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before יהוה (YHVH) to war, 
And will go all of you armed over Jordan before יהוה (YHVH) until He hath driven out His enemies from before Him, 
And the land be subdued before יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, then afterward ye shall return and be guiltless before יהוה (YHVH) and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before יהוה (YHVH). 
But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against יהוה (YHVH); and be sure your sin will find you out. 
Wherefore, build ye up cities for your little ones and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth. 
¶ And it came to pass that the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke unto Moses, saying: Thy servants will do even as my lord hath spoken. 
Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle shall be there in the cities of Gilead; 
But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before יהוה (YHVH) to battle, even as my lord hath said. 
¶ And so it was that Moses did instruct Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel concerning them; 
And Moses spoke unto them, saying: If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle before יהוה (YHVH), and the land shall be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession; 
But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan. 
¶ And it came to pass that all of the children of Gad and all of the children of Reuben answered, saying: As יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, hath said unto thy servants, this will we do. 
We will pass over, armed before יהוה (YHVH), into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side of Jordan may be ours. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses did give unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan, the land with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.

Chapter 15

And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did come unto Moses, saying: Number the heads of the whole congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, 
And from these, ye shall send forth, that they shall be your army. 
And so it was that Moses, and Eleazar the High Priest did number the children of Israel after their families. 
And the number of all Israel was seven hundred thousand, seven hundred and thirty: 
¶ And so it was that of the children of Levi, from one month old and upward, there was not a man numbered for these were the Priests in the wilderness. 
For יהוה (YHVH) did say unto them: Ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore to make you dwell therein, save Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun. 
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did say unto Moses: Behold thy days are approaching to an end, 
Take now Joshua, the son of Nun, thy servant and place him in the tabernacle, and I will command him, and Moses did even as יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim had said. 
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did appear in the tabernacle in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood at the entrance of the tabernacle. 
And יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, did instruct Joshua, the son of Nun, and did say unto him: 
Be strong and courageous, for thou shalt bring the children of Israel to the land which I swore to give them, and I will be with thee. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses said unto Joshua: 
Be strong and courageous, for thou wilt make the children of Israel to inherit the land, and יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, shall be with thee; 
יהוה (YHVH) shall neither leave thee, nor forsake thee; therefore, be neither afraid nor faint of heart. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses did call to all the children of Israel and said unto them: 
Ye have seen all the good which יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, hath done for you in the wilderness; 
Therefore, observe now all the words of this Torah, and walk in the ways of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim.

Chapter 16

And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did speak again unto Moses, saying: Behold, thou shalt leave this people; 
And it shall come to pass that these people will rise up in adultery and go a whoring after the elohim of the strangers of the land, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them. 
And then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them. 
And they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them, so that they will say in that day: 
Are not these evils come upon us because our Elohim is not among us? 
¶ And so it shall be that I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto the elohim of man. 
Now, therefore, write ye this song for you and teach it to the children of Israel; put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel. 
For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey, 
And they shall have eaten and filled themselves and waxen fat, then will they turn unto other elohim, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant. 
¶ And it shall come to pass that when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; 
For it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed; 
For I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I swore.

Chapter 17

And it came to pass that Moses sang in prophecy, being filled with the breath of יהוה (YHVH), singing: 
¶ Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak;
and hear, O earth,
the words of my mouth. 
My teachings shall fall upon Israel
Even as the rain;
my speech shall distill as the dew,
as the gentle rain upon the tender herb,
and as the showers upon the grass, 
Because I will publish the name of יהוה (YHVH);
ascribe ye greatness unto our Elohim. 
יהוה (YHVH) is our Rock;
His work is perfection;
for all His ways are judgment;
El Emet is His name,
and He is without iniquity,
just and right is He. 
They who have corrupted themselves;
their spot is not the spot of His children;
they are a perverse and wicked generation. 
Do ye thus requite יהוה (YHVH),
O foolish people and unwise?
Is not He El Abba that hath bought thee?
Hath he not made thee
and established thee? 
Remember the days of old;
consider the years of many generations;
ask thy father, and he will show thee;
thy elders, and they will tell thee. 
When El Elyon did divide the nations, their inheritance,
when He separated the sons of Adam (mankind),
He set the bounds of the people
according to the number of the children of Israel. 
For the portion of יהוה (YHVH) is His people;
Jacob is the lot of His inheritance. 
He found him in a desert land
and in the waste howling wilderness;
He led him about;
He instructed him;
He kept him as the apple of His eye. 
As an eagle stirreth up her nest,
fluttereth over her young,
spreadeth abroad her wings,
taketh them, beareth them on her wings;
so יהוה (YHVH) alone did lead him,
and there was no strange elohim with him. 
יהוה (YHVH) took Jacob
to ride on the high places of the earth,
that he might eat the increase of the fields;
and He made him to suck honey out of the mountains
and oil out of stones of flint. 
Butter of the cattle,
and milk of the sheep,
with fat of the lambs,
and strong rams and goats:
with the fat of kidneys of wheat;
and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape. 
But Yeshurun waxed fat and kicked;
thou art waxen fat;
thou art grown thick;
thou art covered with fatness;
then he forsook Ha’Elohim which made them
and lightly esteemed the Rock of our salvation. 
And Israel (straight to God) did provoke יהוה (YHVH) to jealousy with strange gods;
with abominations provoked they Him to anger. 
They sacrificed unto devils, not to Elohim:
to gods whom they knew not,
to new gods that came up fresh,
whom your fathers feared not. 
Of the Rock that begat thee
thou art unmindful
and hast forgotten the Elohim
who did form thee. 
And when יהוה (YHVH) saw it,
He abhorred them
because of the provoking
of His sons, and of His daughters. 
And יהוה (YHVH) said:
I will hide my face from them;
I will see what their end shall be;
for they are a very perverse generation,
children in whom there is no faith. 
They have moved me to jealousy
with that which is not Ha’Elohim;
they have provoked me to anger
with their vanities; 
And I will move them to jealousy
with those which are not a people;
I will provoke them to anger
with a foolish nation. 
For a fire is kindled in my nostrils,
and shall burn unto the lowest depths of Sheol,
and shall consume the earth with her increase,
and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. 
I will heap mischief upon them;
I will spend mine arrows upon them. 
They shall be burnt with hunger
and devoured with burning heat
and with bitter destruction; 
I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them,
with the poison of serpents of the dust. 
The sword without
and terror within
shall destroy both the young man and the virgin,
the suckling also with the man of gray hairs. 
I said I would scatter them into corners;
I would make the remembrance
of them to cease from among men
were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, 
Lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely
and lest they should say:
Our hand is high,
and יהוה (YHVH) hath not done all this! 
For they are a nation void of counsel;
neither is there any understanding in them. 
O, that they were wise,
that they understood this,
that they would consider their latter end! 
How should one chase a thousand
and two put ten thousand to flight,
except their Rock had sold them,
and יהוה (YHVH) had shut them up? 
For their rock is not as our Rock,
Even our enemies themselves being judges. 
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom
and of the fields of Gomorrah;
their grapes are grapes of gall,
their clusters are bitter; 
Their wine is the poison of dragons
and the cruel venom of asps. 
Is not this laid up in store with me
and sealed up among my treasures? 
To me belongeth vengeance and recompense;
their foot shall slide in due time;
for the day of their calamity is at hand,
and the things that shall come upon them come quickly. 
For יהוה (YHVH) shall judge His people,
and comfort Himself for His servants
when he seeth that their power is gone
and there is none shut up or left. 
And יהוה (YHVH) shall say:
Where are their elohim,
their rock in whom they trusted,
which did eat the fat of their sacrifices
and drank the wine of their drink offerings? 
Let them rise up,
and help you,
and be your protection. 
See now that I, even I, am He;
and there is no elohim unto me;
I am the bringer of death,
and I am the giver of life;
I wound, and I heal;
and there is no one who can deliver out of my hand. 
For I lift up my hand to the heavens and say:
I live forever! 
I teach diligently with my glittering chereb
and mine hand take hold in judgment,
I will render vengeance to mine enemies
and will reward them that hate me. 
I will make mine arrows drunk with blood;
and my sword shall devour flesh,
and that with the blood of the slain
and of the captives,
from the beginning of revenges
upon the enemy. 
Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people;
for he will avenge the blood of his servants,
and will render vengeance to his adversaries,
and will be merciful unto his land and to his people. 
¶ And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Joshua, the son of Nun.

Chapter 18

And it came to pass that the angel of יהוה (YHVH) did come unto Moses, saying: Behold, thy days approach that thou must leave thy people; 
Therefore, call Joshua and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. 
And it came to pass that Moses and Joshua did go and present themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation. 
And the angel of יהוה (YHVH) did appear in the tabernacle, and יהוה (YHVH) did appear in a pillar of cloud; and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle. 
And יהוה (YHVH) gave Joshua, the son of Nun, a charge, saying: Be strong and of good courage; 
For thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore unto them; and I will be with thee. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses took that Torah which he had written and made twelve scrolls of it, each with the Torah, and with the Covenant, and with a history for each of the tribes. 
And so it was that Moses did deliver these unto the Priests and the Priestesses, even the sons and daughters of Levi. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of יהוה (YHVH), saying: 
Take these, the Torah, and the Covenant, and the tellings of the children of our father, Jacob, and distribute them, one to each of the tribes that they might have it and use it to teach it unto their peoples. 
And take this, the book of the Torah, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, that it may be there for a witness against thee. 
For I know thy rebellion and thy stiff neck; behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against יהוה (YHVH). 
And how much more after my death? 
¶ And so it was that Moses took that first Torah scroll from which the Torah was taken to give unto each tribe, and he gave it unto Eleazar, the High Priest, 
And this he did place in the ark of the covenant of יהוה (YHVH), with the tablets; 
And there were two tablets, one for to represent the covenant of יהוה (YHVH) with Israel, and the other of the covenant of Israel with יהוה (YHVH): 
And side to side or front to back, these were the very same covenant. 
And of the Torah of each tribe, these they did distribute unto all the elders of Israel according to their lineage. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses spoke unto the Kohen Gadol (High Priest) and the Kohanot Gadolah (High Priestess), saying: 
יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, will choose faithful men and women, keepers of His Torah, and examples in righteousness, to be Priests and Priestesses after the order of everlasting life (the High Priesthood). 
And these shall be as princes and princesses, nobles, even High Priests and High Priestesses in the Kingdom of God. 
¶ And it shall come to pass that when ye do settle in the land of promise, the Kohen Gadol and the Kohanot Gadolah shall be set apart in each land, that there be those called of יהוה (YHVH) to preside and be watchers over the things of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim. 
And so it shall be that from the High Priests shall ye select counselors, and shofet (judges), and other nobles that the things appointed of Ha’Elohim be sanctified unto holy purposes. 
And these shall minister in the salvation of the living and of the dead of Israel, that all shall know the redemption of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim. 
And so it shall be that if it be that these need to gather to discuss the needs of Israel, let them do so in the name of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim. 
¶ And now, bring unto me seventy-two High Priests and seventy-two High Priestesses shall fill their ranks, being one hundred and forty-four. 
And from among these shall be chosen one High Priest and one High Priestess, even they whom יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, shall choose by the casting of lots; 
And these shall watch over all the High Priests and High Priestesses, to lead in all their deliberations, and two High Priests and two High Priestesses to assist them. 
¶ And it came to pass that they did hear and harken unto the words of Moses. 
And so it was that because his words did come from יהוה (YHVH), they did make a covenant that day, that when they would come unto the land of promise, they would keep them.

Chapter 19

And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did say unto Moses: Gather unto me twelve men and twelve women of the Elders of Israel, they whom thou knowest to be Elders of the people, and officers over them; 
And have these choose out from amongst thy people seventy-two men and seventy-two women of the Elders of Israel, 
And do bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee and I will come down and talk with thee there. 
And I will take of that Spirit which is upon thee and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people that they might be one. 
¶ And so it was that Moses spoke unto Israel, saying: Gather unto me all the Elders of your tribes and your officers, 
That I may speak these words in their ears and call unto the heavens and the earth to record it against them. 
For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves and turn aside from the way which I have taught you; 
And evil will befall you in the latter days because ye will do evil in the sight of יהוה (YHVH), to provoke Him to anger through the work of your hands. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses took aside men and women of Israel and he did set them apart to lead the people. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses did take all the Elders of the tribes of Israel, and their officers, and he did teach them, saying: 
At the end of each period of seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles (Sukkot), 
When all Israel is come to appear before יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, in the place which He shall choose, thou shalt read the Torah before all Israel in their hearing. 
Ye shall assemble this people together: the men, and the women, and the children, and the foreigner that is within your gates; 
And this that all may hear, and that all may learn, and that all may reverence יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, and observe to do all the words of His Torah, 
And that your children, which have not known יהוה (YHVH) or His Torah, may hear and learn to revere יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, as long as ye live in the land whither ye shall go over Jordan to possess it. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses did set apart twelve men, one from each of the tribes of Israel, and twelve women, one from each of the tribes of Israel, 
And he spoke unto these, saying: When יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, shall send His Shalom (peace or gospel) to all the nations, He shall call and choose twelve talmidim, 
To be the witnesses of HaShem (the Name) and the Kingdom unto every nation, kindred, tongue, and people. 
And these He shall appoint Shepherds of the flock; under the appointment of the Sar Ra’ah, He shall make them nobles in His Kingdom: 
Twelve He shall appoint them to declare His Torah unto all nations; and to teach it among all of Israel who are scattered across the earth. 
And the twelve talmidim shall have authority as watchers and carriers of His ensign unto the people beyond the kingdom, by appointment of that Sar Ra’ah. 
And these shall be faithful to that dominion which they are given in the kingdom, by the mitzvoth of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim. 
And so it is that יהוה (YHVH) hath called you this day to be His talmidim and to bear faithful testimony to all nations: 
Therefore, cease not to declare the whole counsel of Ha’Elohim and יהוה (YHVH) shall give you rest from your labors, and you shall be noble ones forever. 
And ye shall choose of yourselves one of the men from among you and one of the women from among you to speak for all of you, even as was done amongst the twelve righteous in the days of Nimrod: 
And unto them ye shall all give heed, as chiefs amongst you, yet shall Sar Ra’ah be over all, and ye shall rebel not against His mitzvoth; 
And so it shall be that ye shall be even as princes and princesses in the kingdom forever. 
¶ And these shall select from among you seventy-two Elders, chosen men and women, faithful in the Torah of יהוה (YHVH), to teach the people. 
And one man and one woman of these Seventy shall be chosen as chiefs among them, and they shall teach and guide them in their order. 
And after this, another seventy-two may ye choose from the righteous men and women of Israel, and the land shall need them, until there shall be seven Seventies. 
And one man and one woman shall be appointed Chiefs of each Seventy, to lead them in righteousness as the first in their assembly. 
And these Seventies shall labor to teach the people the Torah, a quarter of their time and continually, and their households shall not lack bread. 
¶ And it shall come to pass that when these have labored faithfully, they shall have rest and a goodly inheritance given them from among the just; 
But if sin be upon them, they shall be sent out away from that order.

Chapter 20

And it came to pass that Moses did speak again unto the Kohen Gadol and the Kohanot Gadolah, saying: 
The Priests and the Priestesses of the Levites, these should be faithful servants of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim; 
Walking in righteousness and pure in their conversation; yea, not given to strong drink, nor lust, nor lasciviousness. 
¶ And it shall come to pass that when ye do settle in the land of promise, there shall need be Priests and Priestesses set apart in all the cities, and in every town and village to keep the sacrifices unto יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim. 
And these shall keep watch over the houses of יהוה (YHVH), and shall minister unto the people; 
And some shall be as psalmists and shall lead these people to worship יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim. 
¶ And when it shall come to pass that יהוה (YHVH) shall instruct you to build up Temples unto Him, that He may come and dwell in the midst of you, then will this kehunnah (Priesthood or service) administer the ordinances of that Temple. 
And there shall be set a Kohen Gadol and the Kohanot Gadolah in every Temple, and to them shall they that watch over the House of Ha’Elohim give heed. 
And the Priestess shall pour out the libations unto יהוה (YHVH), and shall sing and dance in prophecy, and assist in the rituals, but she shall not kill sacrifices. 
¶ And in every city, town, and village, ye shall ordain Teachers, men and women who are gifted in instruction, learned in symbols, and every manner of wisdom and knowledge; 
And this that Israel and her children might attain to all wisdom and all knowledge. 
And the Teachers of the Torah shall be appointed to instruct the people in the ways of יהוה (YHVH), and in the words of His Torah. 
And it shall come to pass that the children of the rich and the poor shall come together to learn the words of the Torah without price. 
¶ And in every city shall ye ordain shamashim; they who do love the Torah; men and women who neither despise the poor nor fear the rich; 
And these need be kind, for they are the servants of יהוה (YHVH), and swift of foot, for they shall be the messengers (makakim) of יהוה (YHVH).

Chapter 21

And it came to pass that Moses did take aside all those that had been set apart to lead the people, and unto these he did say: 
Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall instruct your children to observe to do, all the words of the Torah; 
For it is not a vain thing for you because it is your life; and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, when ye go over Jordan to possess it. 
¶ And it shall come to pass that when ye do settle in the land of promise, ye shall seek out wise men and women in every city, who love righteousness, and hate iniquity; 
They who seek to do the Torah of יהוה (YHVH) and know its righteousness shall be ordained Elders. 
And these shall be they who shall govern and instruct as they shall be appointed, for these shall be the leaders of this people. 
¶ And the Elders shall read the Torah all the days of their lives, that they may instruct the people therein, to keep it; 
And this that they may be able to serve Israel, even as they shall be appointed. 
¶ And so it shall be that the Elders shall instruct the people in the Torah and to keep the Sabbath in their assemblies; 
And they shall visit the sick, the poor, and the needy, and give comfort unto all who are distressed, and counsel to those who ask of them. 
¶ And none shall take upon themself the honor of the kehunnah of יהוה (YHVH); neither shalt thou confer this honor on any but they whom יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, shall call. 
For none shall administer in the name of Ha’Elohim but they who are called by the spirit of prophecy and revelation, that the will of Ha’Elohim be known, 
¶ And so it shall be that they shall be set apart unto their call by the hands of those upon whom the authority of His name is sealed. 
And whosoever is called by the Voice to the power splendor shall be anointed and ordained by the hands of those who stand in the power splendor of that same call: 
But they that are first, by the malakim of Ha’Elohim; that they may have all the gifts; 
Even wisdom and knowledge, faith and truth, revelation and prophecy; and whatsoever gift is good for the congregation of יהוה (YHVH) our Elohim: 
That they may be able to have authority in righteousness: and they for their several callings, among the congregation. 
¶ And so it shall be that all they who are called to administer at the altar, and in sacraments and ceremonies, shall be consecrated and set apart by the hands of those in like authority, according to the calling of Ha’Elohim, for their ministry. 
And all they who do consecrate another to the kehunnah of יהוה (YHVH), and the authority of HaShem, יהוה (YHVH) shall, with hands upon their heads, and by the Voice, declare and seal upon them the name and authority of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim; even unto that kehunnah unto which they do consecrate them.

Chapter 22

And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did speak unto Moses saying: Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them: 
Ye shall be holy: for I, יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim am holy. 
¶ And so it was that Moses spoke these words unto all Israel, saying unto them: 
יהוה (YHVH) hath spoken unto me, saying: Thou shalt not go over this Jordan; but יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, He will go over before you. 
And יהוה (YHVH) shall destroy the nations from before you, and you shall possess them; and Joshua, he shall go over before you even as יהוה (YHVH) hath said. 
And יהוה (YHVH) shall do unto their elohim as He did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the elohim of the lands of them, for their elohim He did destroy. 
And יהוה (YHVH) shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the instructions I have given you of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim. 
Be strong and of good courage; fear not nor be afraid of them; for יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim is undefeated; יהוה (YHVH) will go with you and will not fail you nor forsake you. 
¶ And unto Joshua I say: Be strong and of good courage; for you must go with this people unto the land which יהוה (YHVH) hath sworn unto our fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it. 
And יהוה (YHVH) shall go before thee and will be with thee; יהוה (YHVH) will not fail thee neither forsake thee; fear not; neither be dismayed. 
¶ And it came to pass that Moses spoke again unto all of Israel, saying: 
Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall teach your children to observe to do, all the words of this Torah. 
For it is not a vain thing for you because it is your life; and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, when ye go over Jordan to possess it. 
¶ And יהוה (YHVH) did come down from that Mountain of Strength, and rose up, and did shine forth when He did come with ten thousand Kodesh; 
From His right hand went the fire of the Torah for them; yea, יהוה (YHVH) loved the people. 
And all the Kodesh of יהוה (YHVH) are in the hand of יהוה (YHVH); and they sit down at His feet; everyone shall receive of His words. 
¶ And all that receive the words of יהוה (YHVH) shall receive also that breath of life, for these are counted as Israel by the covenant; 
Therefore, all that shall be washed clean, these shall be set apart by the laying on of hands to wear the tzitzits, 
For Israel shall be a nation of kings and queens, priests and priestesses unto יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim. 
¶ And this that all of Israel might be blessed with knowledge and wisdom and given understanding, the mercy and strength of יהוה (YHVH). 
And if ye shall cherish it, then shall יהוה (YHVH) establish you in all righteousness, with a new power; 
¶ And it shall come to pass that as it passeth off and leaveth him, his gift shall continue, and he shall walk in newness of life; 
Therefore, though ye shall be divided amongst the land that יהוה (YHVH) shall bless you with, know that you are all Israel. 
Though you shall be divided by your lands and by your tribes, let thou seek to be familiar with one another by thy rods, 
That ye shall know that all of Israel is to be one, even as יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, is One. 
Go ye and cease not to do this and ye shall be holy: for יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim be holy.

Chapter 23

And it came to pass that Moses did raise up his hands to bless the people of Israel, saying: 
¶ And this is the blessing of Levi: Let the Thummim of יהוה (YHVH) be with Levi, and the Urim of יהוה (YHVH) be with His holy ones; 
These are they that shall teach Jacob the judgments of יהוה (YHVH), and Israel His Torah; they shall put incense before יהוה (YHVH) and whole burnt sacrifices upon the altar. 
יהוה (YHVH), bless their substance and accept the work of their hands; smite the loins of those that would rise against them, and that hate him, that they rise no more. 
And they that are born in that first month, these are of the rod (מטה mattah) of Levi; let them be honest, and of great sympathy, giving generously unto all they that are in need of succor in the name יהוה (YHVH). 
Let them despise the stirring up of gossip, but seek peace over conflict; 
Let them seek knowledge, looking ever to the understanding of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, even of that which is hidden from the world. 
Let them forever be known for their kindness, and bring joy and happiness to all they that be around them. 
¶ And this is the blessing of Benjamin: The beloved of יהוה (YHVH) shall dwell in safety by him; and יהוה (YHVH) shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders. 
And they that are born in that second month, these are of the rod (מטה mattah) of Benjamin; let them live a life that is average, full of passion with bountiful grace within them. 
May they desire to know, and ever listen with their ears, letting their mouths be still that they might be a confident unto those that would tell them their secrets; 
May their insight bring wisdom unto Israel, yet remain humble in all their doings, remembering יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim. 
¶ And this is the blessing of Judah: Hear, יהוה (YHVH), the voice of Judah and bring him unto his people; let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou a help to him from his enemies. 
And they that are born in that third month, these are of the rod (מטה mattah) of Judah; Let thy generosity never waver; 
May thou be the champion of the lowly, and the voice of those that have no voice; 
Let them nurture, and teach of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, with confidence, showing calmness, ever working to end strife. 
¶ And this is the blessing of Zebulun: Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out and in thy coming in, 
For they shall bring in the abundance of the seas and find treasures that have been hidden in the sands. 
And they that are born in that fourth month, these are of the rod (מטה mattah) of Zebulun; let them be noble, taking the path forward when others are fearful; 
And should thou fail in thy endeavors, may thou focus thy strength to meet thy desires, be thy desires found in יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim. 
And when others come unto thee from afar, may thou be kind and generous, seeking that which is good for thy seed and for Israel. 
¶ And this is the blessing of Issachar: Open thy scrolls, Issachar, in thy tents and read that thou should know. 
And they that are born in that fifth month, these are of the rod (מטה mattah) of Issachar; let them rejoice in their stillness, that they be always well informed. 
Let them reject ignorance and arrogance, seeking the right course of action in יהוה (YHVH), using thy knowledge to produce much wisdom. 
Be thou loyal, showing sympathy, being generous by thy nature, and find thyself actively engaged in the works of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim. 
¶ And this is the blessing of Joseph: May יהוה (YHVH) put His hand over their land, to bless it with the precious things of the heavens, and with dew, and protect them from the things that gather in the abyss beneath. 
And may יהוה (YHVH) bless them with the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon, 
And with the best things from the ancient mountains, and with the precious things from the everlasting hills, 
And for the precious things of the earth and fullness thereof, and for the favor of those who do dwell in the bush; 
Yea, let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph and upon the top of the head of him who is the prince amongst his brethren. 
His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of the wild ox; 
With them he shall push the people together at the ends of the earth; and they are the multitude of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh. 
And they that are born in that sixth month, these are the rod (מטה mattah) of Joseph; may thou be known for thy generosity, and thy willingness to give of thyself, 
May thou, in wisdom, see the truth in all sides of the head of battle, being unpredictable in thy neutrality. 
May thou work diligently, that thy needs be met, and time be taken for thy heart to heal. 
¶ And this is the blessing of Gad: Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad; he dwelleth as a lion and teareth the arm with the crown of the head. 
He did take the choicest part for himself because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; 
And he did come with the heads of the people; he executed the justice of יהוה (YHVH) and His ordnance for Israel. 
And they that are born in that seventh month, these are the rod (מטה mattah) of Gad; may your strength always be found in thy wisdom, and not in lofty dreams of foolishness. 
May thy hand always be outstretched, ready to serve that of Israel, that thou should see through thine enemies; 
May thy perseverance in times of trouble be great, that thou should persevere in the name of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, and may thou be a friend unto יהוה (YHVH) and unto all of Israel all of thy days. 
¶ And this is the blessing of Dan: Dan is as the cub of the lion; he shall leap from out of the twin mountains. 
And they that are born in that eighth month, these are the rod (מטה mattah) of Dan; may thy integrity, honor, and valor keep thee from back-biting and scandal. 
May thou discover the hidden truths, being a confidant unto princes, keeping their secrets that thou should be trusted. 
In thy compassion, show thy loyalty unto יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, and unto Israel. 
¶ And this is the blessing of Reuben: Let Reuben live and not die; and let not his people be few. 
And they that are born in that ninth month, these are the rod (מטה mattah) of Reuban; may thy love of adventure and the things of this earth not distract thee from the things of יהוה (YHVH); 
May thou ever seek to know יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, by thy deep thoughts, and by thy helping hands. 
¶ And this is the blessing of Simon: Simon will call the people of Israel unto the mountains, and there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness unto יהוה (YHVH). 
And they that are born in that tenth month, these are the rod (מטה mattah) of Simon; may thou move ever forward in יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, with a never-ending thirst. 
May thy ways always be that of peacemaker in the kingdom, that thy tolerance and calm be used to bring unity to Israel. 
¶ And this is the blessing of Asher: Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil. 
Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be. 
And they that are born in that eleventh month, these are the rod (מטה mattah) of Asher; may thou have keen vision in thy planning, with a calm presence; yet, passionate of spirit that the ways of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, be made clear. 
May thou be strong and fierce in thy soul, yet show not but kindness unto all they that are around thee. 
Let them be strong of character, with a swiftness of thought that will draw in Israel, that she not be found troubled in times of doubting. 
¶ And this is the blessing of Naphtali: O Naphtali, be thou filled with favor and full with the blessing of יהוה (YHVH), filled with the mercy of יהוה (YHVH) and the Fire of Ha’Elohim. 
And they that are born in that twelfth month, these are the rod (מטה mattah) of Naphtali; being inspired by the creation of יהוה (YHVH), be thou swift in thy renewal. 
Though they might stand back, when Israel is in need, may they come to her defence; 
May you be known for thy wisdom and thy knowledge, that יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, be glorified. 
¶ And this is the blessing of Dinah: She who did acknowledge her brethren and knew all the children; she who has observed thy Word, יהוה (YHVH), and kept the covenant! 
Blessed be she who does teach the mitzvah and the Torah unto Israel from their youth, she shall remember to pour libations upon the altar. 
And they that are born in that thirteenth month, these are the rod (מטה mattah) of Dinah; let them be leaders of men, for these are born unto יהוה YHVH  as such, 
For thou art the peacemakers and they who may be given the blessings to unite the people in the name of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim. 
Confident and strong, may thy fiery passion ever burn, keeping Israel alight. 
¶ And this is the blessing of Israel (straight to God), the seed of Abraham the doth seek to know יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim: 
Know all of your days and teach it unto your children, there is none like unto the Elohim of Israel, who rideth upon the heaven in your favor and in His splendor in the sky. 
Elohim Olam is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms; 
And He shall thrust out the enemy from before thee and shall say: Destroy them! 
Israel then shall dwell in safety alone; the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew. 
¶ Happy art thou, O Israel; who is like unto thee, O people saved by יהוה (YHVH), the shield of thy help, and who is the chereb of thy excellency? 
And thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee, and thou shalt tread upon their high places; so mote it be: Amen.

Chapter 24

And it came to pass that Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain and יהוה (YHVH) did show unto him all the lands. 
And so it was that יהוה (YHVH) did say unto Moses: This is the land which I swore unto Abraham, and unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying: I will give it unto thy seed; 
I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither. 
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did take Moses unto Himself; therefore, he should have no sepulcher as would a common man of Israel. 
And it was Moses who did instruct us with the Torah, ever the inheritance of the congregation of Israel. 
And he was king in Israel when the heads of the people and the tribes of Jacob were gathered together. 
And so it was that the children of Israel did weep for Moses for thirty days; so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended. 
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did speak unto Joshua, the son of Nun, even the servant of Moses, saying: Arise! 
Cross thou over this Jordan, thou and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, for I do now give it, even to the children of Israel. 
Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you as I said unto Moses. 
Yea, and from the mouth of that wilderness, and from here even unto the great river; 
Yea, and all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your coast. 
¶ And it shall come to pass that there shall be no people that will stand before thee all the days of thy life: 
As I was with Moses, so I will be with thee, Joshua; I will not fail thee nor forsake thee; 
Therefore, be strong and of good courage; for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land which I did swear unto their fathers and their mothers to give unto them. 
Wherefore, be strong and very courageous, and thou will observe to do according to all that Torah which Moses, my servant, did command thee; 
Turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. 
And see that the book of the Torah doth not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein; 
And then it shall be that I shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 
¶ Have not I commanded thee? Therefore, be strong and of a good courage; 
Be not afraid; neither be thou dismayed, for I, יהוה (YHVH) thy Elohim, am with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Chapter 25

And it came to pass that Joshua, the son of Nun, was full of the spirit of wisdom; 
For Moses had laid his hands upon him; and the children of Israel did hearken unto him, even as יהוה (YHVH) had said unto Moses. 
¶ And so it was that Joshua did command the officers of the people, saying: Pass through the host, and command the people, saying: 
Prepare your provisions; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan to go in to possess the land which יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim, hath given you to possess it. 
¶ And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh spoke Joshua, saying: 
Remember the word which Moses, the servant of יהוה (YHVH), did instruct you, saying: יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim, hath given you rest and hath given you this land. 
Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle shall remain in the land which Moses did give you on this side of Jordan; 
But ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valor, and help them until יהוה (YHVH) have given your brethren rest as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim, giveth them; 
Then ye shall return unto the land of your possession and enjoy it, which Moses, the servant of יהוה (YHVH), did give you on this side of Jordan toward the sunrising. 
¶ And so it was that they answered Joshua, saying: All that thou say unto us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendeth us, we will go. 
According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee; only יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, be with thee as with Moses. 
Whosoever rebeleth against thy instruction and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou should instruct them, they shall be cast out; only be strong and of good courage.

Chapter 26

And it came to pass that after Joshua, the son of Nun, did instruct the officers of Israel, saying: Go ye through all the camp and command this people, saying: 
Prepare for yourselves provisions, for in three days more of you will pass the Jordan to possess the land! 
That the officers of Israel did so, and they instructed the people, and the people did even as Joshua did instruct them. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua did send out two men to spy in secret, saying: Go now and view the land, even Jericho. 
And so it was that they went and came into the house of the harlot, Rahab, and they did find lodging there. 
¶ And it came to pass that some men came unto the king of Jericho, saying: Behold, there came men in hither tonight of the children of Israel to search out the country. 
And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying: Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house; for they be come to search out all the country. 
And so it was that the woman, Rahab, took the two men, and hid them, saying: There came men unto me, but I know not whither they go; 
Yea, and behold that about the time of the shutting of the gate of the city, when it was dark, that the men did go out; whither the men went, I know not; pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them. 
¶ And it came to pass that Rahab did bring the men up to the roof of the house and hid them with the stalks which she had laid in order upon the roof. 
And so it was that those men that had been sent out to pursued after them did soon go out, and they did shut the gates. 
¶ And it came to pass that Rahab did come up unto these men upon the roof, and she did say unto them: 
I do know that יהוה (YHVH) hath given you this land, and so it is that your terror has fallen upon us, and all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you. 
For we have heard how יהוה (YHVH) did dry up the water of the sea for you when ye came out of Egypt, and of the land that ye did utterly destroy. 
And so it was that when we had heard these things, our hearts did fail us; neither did there remain any more courage in any man because of you: 
For יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim, He is over Ha’Elohim in the heavens above and above all that is here in all of the earth beneath, and even over that which dwellest in the abyss below. 
Now, therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by יהוה (YHVH), seeing that I have showed you kindness, that ye will also show kindness unto my father's house and give me a true token; 
Yea, swear unto me that you will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have and deliver our lives from death. 
¶ And so it was that the men did answer her, saying: Our life for yours if you utter not this, our business. 
Behold, when Israel shall come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by; 
And thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brothers and thy sisters, and all thy father's household home unto thee. 
¶ And so it shall be, that when יהוה (YHVH) doth give us this land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee and with the house of thy father, 
And so it shall be that the house of your father shall be added into the house of Israel and our peoples will be one people. 
But I say unto thee: That whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, their blood shall be upon their own head, and we will be guiltless; 
And whosoever shall be with thee in the house, their blood shall be on our head if any hand be upon them. 
And if thou utter this our business, then we will be free of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear, and it will be sealed upon us no more. 
¶ And so Rahab did say: According unto your words, so mote it be. 
¶ And it came to pass that her house, being there upon the wall, she did let them down by a cord through the window. 
And she said unto them: Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you! 
And she sent them away, and they departed; and she bound the scarlet line in the window.

Chapter 27

And it came to pass that the men of the king that did seek the spies sought them all throughout the day and night but found them not. 
And so it was that the men did return unto Joshua, the son of Nun, and they did tell him all the things that did befall them. 
And it came to pass that they did say unto Joshua, son of Nun: 
Truly יהוה (YHVH) hath delivered all the land into our hands; for even all the inhabitants of the country do melt away in despair from the thought of us. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua said unto Israel: Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow יהוה (YHVH) will do wonders among you. 
¶ And it came to pass that on the third day Joshua did rise early in the morning; and יהוה (YHVH) did speak unto Joshua, saying: 
This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee. 
And thou shalt command the Priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying: When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan, 
And that the Priestesses shall stand ready, that they should pour out their libations at the time appointed them. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua did gather up the army of Israel. 
And so it was that Joshua did speak unto the Priests, saying: Take ye up the ark of the covenant and pass over before the people. 
And unto the Priestesses Joshua did say: Stand ready to pour out the libations when the sign is given, that יהוה (YHVH) should be given His due. 
¶ And it came to pass that the officers did go through Israel, saying: 
When ye shall see the ark of the covenant of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, and the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place and go after it, 
And so it was that the Priests did take up the ark of the covenant and go out before the people, and they did walk until they did come unto Jordan.

Chapter 28

And it came to pass that Joshua did speak unto the children of Israel, saying: Come all ye hither and hear the words of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim. 
Hereby ye shall know that Elohim Chaiyim (Hebrew, “life”) is among you, 
And that without fail shall יהוה (YHVH) drive the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites out from before you. 
Behold, the ark of the covenant of יהוה (YHVH), El Elyon over all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan. 
Now, therefore, take you up twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, even the twelve talmidim that Moses did set apart out of every tribe. 
And it shall come to pass that as soon as the soles of the feet of the Priests that bear the ark of יהוה (YHVH), that Adon-kol Ha’Aretz (Lord of all the Earth), shall rest in the waters of Jordan, 
That the waters of Jordan shall be sealed away from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon a heap. 
¶ And it came to pass that the people did pack up their tents that they should pass over Jordan, and the Priests bearing the ark of the covenant did go out before the people, 
And so it was that as they that bore the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the Levites that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, 
That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon a heap very far from the city of Man, in the valley of Jordan; 
And those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed and were cut off; and the people passed over right against Jericho. 
¶ And it came to pass that the Priests that bore the ark of the covenant of יהוה (YHVH) did stand firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan; 
And so it was that all the Israelites did pass over on dry ground until all the people of the nation of Israel did cross over Jordan, even as they had by the power of יהוה (YHVH), through the hand of Moses, when fleeing Egypt. 
¶ And it came to pass that after all the people had passed over Jordan, יהוה (YHVH) did speak unto Joshua, saying: 
Take you those twelve men that Moses did set apart from out of the people, one man out of every tribe a man, and command them, saying: 
Take ye hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the feet of the Priests did stand firm, twelve stones; 
And ye shall carry them over with you and leave them in the lodging place where ye shall lodge this night. 
¶ And so it was that Joshua did call the twelve men who Moses had called up to be set apart out of the children of Israel, out of every tribe one man, and Joshua did say unto them: 
Pass over before the ark of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, into the midst of Jordan, and take you up every man a stone, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, 
And this that it shall be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in times to come, saying: What mean ye by these stones? 
Then you shall answer them, saying: The waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of יהוה (YHVH) as it passed over Jordan; 
For the waters of Jordan were cut off, and these stones were placed for a memorial unto the children of Israel forever. 
¶ And it came to pass that the twelve talmidim of Israel did even as Joshua asked of them, and they did take up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan. 
And so it was that it was even as יהוה (YHVH) did speak unto Joshua and the twelve talmidim of the children of Israel did carry them over with them and did lay them down there. 
And it came to pass that Joshua did set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the Priests which bore the ark of the covenant did stand.

Chapter 29

And it came to pass that when all the people of Israel did pass cleanly over, that the ark of the covenant of יהוה (YHVH) did also passed over in the presence of the congregation. 
And so it was that the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh did pass over armed before the children of Israel, 
For it was even as Moses had spoken unto them, forty thousand passed over before יהוה (YHVH) did prepare for war unto battle. 
¶ And it came to pass that on this day, יהוה (YHVH) did magnify Joshua in the sight of all Israel; 
And so it was that they did fear Joshua, even as they had feared Moses, all the days of his life. 
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did speak unto Joshua, saying: Command the Priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan. 
And Joshua, therefore, did command the Priests, saying: Come ye up out of Jordan. 
¶ And it came to pass that when the Priests that did bare the ark of the covenant of יהוה (YHVH) were come up out of the midst of Jordan, that the soles of the feet of the Priests were lifted up unto the dry earth, 
And so it was that when the waters of Jordan did return unto their place that they did flow over all his banks even as they did before. 
¶ And it came to pass that the congregation of Israel did come up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month and encamped in Gilgal in the east border of Jericho. 
And so it was that those twelve stones, which they had taken out of Jordan, Joshua did have them to be stood up as a remembrance there in Gilgal. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua did speak unto the children of Israel, saying: 
When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying: What mean these stones? 
Then ye shall say unto them, and let your children know, saying: Israel came over this Jordan on dry earth; 
For יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, did dry up the waters of Jordan from before you until ye were passed over, even as יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim did unto the Red Sea, which He did dry up from before us until we did cross over, 
And this that all the people of the earth might know the hand of יהוה (YHVH), that it is mighty, and that ye might honor יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, forever. 
¶ And it came to pass that when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, did hear that יהוה (YHVH) did dry up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel until they were passed over, that their hearts did melt; 
Neither was the passion of their spirits lifted, but did fail them, and their hearts did melt for their fear of the children of Israel.

Chapter 30

And it came to pass that the children of Israel did make camp there by the twelve stones and did wait upon the Voice of יהוה (YHVH) to come unto Joshua. 
And after so many days did יהוה (YHVH) speak unto Joshua, saying: 
This day have I taken away the contempt of Egypt from off you, therefore, ye shall keep this camp until the Passover; and after this, thou shall be told. 
And so it was that the children of Israel did keep camp there and did keep the Passover in the plains of Jericho. 
¶ And it came to pass that Israel did remember her covenant with יהוה (YHVH), and she did keep it. 
And the Priests did put up the Tabernacle, and the Priests did offer up sacrifices and the Priestesses did pour out libations to YHVH, our Elohim. 
And in the Holy Place they did setup the to North, the Shewbread for which to feed the people; 
And to the South, the Menorah, a tree of fire for which to light the way; 
And to the East, the Altar of Incense to burn the sweet smell before יהוה (YHVH); 
And to the West, the Veil that did keep apart the ark of the covenant and the Holy of Holies. 
And the Shewbread was to remember life that comes from our Mother, the Earth, and that יהוה (YHVH) is the source of all life. 
And the Menorah, with its six candles, to remember the six days of creation, and the Sabbath, the one flame given to light the other flames, and the Fire to remember the Voice of יהוה (YHVH), and the tree to remember the Shekinah, that tree of life. 
And the Altar of Incense to remember Ruach HaKodesh, the Wind (Air), the very Breath of יהוה (YHVH), and the prayers of Israel, ascending into the heavens to be received in the Presence of יהוה (YHVH). 
And the veil to remember the division between the earth and the heavens, as a flood of Waters flowing between them, and the mercy of יהוה (YHVH), the shield of Israel. 
And the Shewbread that none in Israel should go hungry, but all be fed in the mercy of יהוה (YHVH). 
¶ And it came to pass that the Priests did offer up sacrifices unto יהוה (YHVH), and the Priestesses did pour out the libations, and the children of Israel did stand ready as death did pass over them. 
And the people did eat of the yield of the land after the Passover, and unleavened cakes, and roasted grains. 
And so it was that the manna יהוה (YHVH) had given them ceased on the day after the Passover; 
And the children of Israel had not manna anymore, but they did eat of the fruit of the land.

Chapter 31

And it came to pass that as Joshua was by Jericho, that he did lift up his eyes and did look, and behold, there stood one over against him with his sword drawn in hand; 
And so it was that Joshua went unto him saying: Art thou for us or for our adversaries? 
And that one did say unto Joshua: Neither; but as prince of the host of יהוה (YHVH) am I now come. 
And Joshua did fall on his face to the earth, and did prostrate himself upon the ground, and did say unto the malak: What saith my lord unto his servant? 
And Michael, the prince of the host of יהוה (YHVH) did say unto Joshua: Rise up and loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. 
And Joshua did even so. 
¶ And it came to pass that Michael, the prince of the host of יהוה (YHVH) did say unto Joshua: Thou seest that Jericho is straitly shut up because of the children of Israel; 
Yea, and none do go out, and none do come into that city, and it be well fortified and the storehouses of it are full. 
And Israel shall yet see that יהוה (YHVH) hath given Jericho into thine hand, and the king thereof, and all their mighty men of valor. 
And this doth יהוה (YHVH) instruct thee, and so shall you do: Ye shall compass the city, all your men of war, and go round about the city once. 
Thus shalt thou do for six days: and seven Priests shall bear before the ark seven shofrot. 
And the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the Priests shall blow with the shofrot. 
And it shall come to pass that when they make a long blast with the shofrot, and when ye hear the sound of the shofar, all the people shall shout with a great shout; 
And it will come to pass that the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up, every man straight before him. 
But thou shall instruct them, the scarlet string is a protection; therefore, any man that would kill any of the house of the scarlet string, he shall be struck dead before his sword can draw strength. 
And this that the people of Israel shall be known as a people that keepeth her covenants and the fate of the children of Jacob that should reject their covenants, who taketh the name of יהוה (YHVH) in vain.

Chapter 32

And it came to pass that Joshua, the son of Nun, did call the Priests and said unto them: 
Take up the ark of the covenant and let seven Priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of יהוה (YHVH). 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua did say unto the people: Go forth, and march around the city, and let they who are armed pass on before the ark of יהוה (YHVH). 
And so it was that when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven Priests bearing the seven shofrot did pass on before יהוה (YHVH) and did blow with the shofrot; 
Yea, and the ark of the covenant of יהוה (YHVH) did follow after them. 
And the armed men did go before the Priests that blew the shofrot, and the ark did come up after them, the Priests going on and blowing with the shofrot. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua did instruct the people of Israel, saying: Ye shall not shout nor make any noise with your voice; 
Neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout. 
And so it was that the ark of יהוה (YHVH) did go all around the outside of that city, going about it once; and they did come into the camp and find rest there in the camp. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua did rise early in the morning, and the Priests did take up the ark of the testimony of יהוה (YHVH). 
And so it was that the seven Priests bearing seven shofrot before the ark of the covenant of יהוה (YHVH) did go on continually and blew with the shofrot; 
And the armed men did go up before them; and the rearward came after the ark of the covenant of of יהוה (YHVH), the Priests going on and blowing with the shofrot. 
And the second day they did march all around the city once and returned again unto the camp; and this they did for six days. 
¶ And it came to pass that on the seventh day they did rise up early about the dawning of the day and they did surround the city after the same manner seven times; 
And so it was that on that day, they did march all about the city even seven times. 
And it came to pass that the seventh time, when the Priests did blow with the shofrot, Joshua did say unto the people: Shout; for יהוה (YHVH) hath given us the city; 
And the city shall be accursed, even it and all that are therein, to יהוה (YHVH); 
Only Rahab, the harlot, shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent; thus they are protected by the scarlet string. 
And ye, in any wise, keep yourselves from the things of idolatry, lest ye make yourselves accursed when ye partake of it, and make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble us. 
But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron are consecrated unto יהוה (YHVH); they shall come into the treasury of יהוה (YHVH). 
¶ And it came to pass that the people did shout when the Priests did blow with the shofrot; 
And so it was that when the people did hear the sound of the shofrot they did shout with a great shout. 
And so great was the sound of it that the wall fell down and Israel did go up into the city, every man straight before him; and they did take the city. 
¶ And it came to pass that they did utterly destroy all elohim that were in the city, be they man or woman, young or old, of ox or sheep or ass, with the edge of the sword. 
And Joshua did say unto the two men that had spied out the country: 
Go into the harlot's house, which is protected by the scarlet string of the covenant, and bring out thence the woman and all that she hath as ye did sware unto her. 
And so it was that the young men who were spies did go in, and they did bring out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; 
And they did bring out all her kindred, and they marked them with the scarlet string, and then they left them just outside the camp of Israel. 
And Israel did burn up the elohim of that city with fire and all that was therein; only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron they put into the treasury of the tabernacle of יהוה (YHVH). 
¶ And it came to pass that the war that was between the elohim of the city of Jericho, and יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel did come to an end, and יהוה (YHVH) was undefeated.

Chapter 33

And it came to pass that the congregation of Israel did say: So יהוה (YHVH) is with Joshua! 
And so it was that the fame of Joshua was told throughout all the land, but Joshua did give the honor to יהוה (YHVH). 
¶ And it came to pass that some of the children of Jacob did commit a trespass unto יהוה (YHVH); for Akan, the son of Karmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerach, of the tribe of Judah (Yehudah, YHVH be praised), took of the accursed things; 
And so it was that the anger of יהוה (YHVH) was kindled against the children of Jacob, but the children of Israel knew it not. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua did send men from Jericho unto Ay, and spoke unto them, saying: Go up and spy out the land. 
And so it was that the men went up and viewed Ay and all the land round about. 
¶ And it came to pass that the men did return unto Joshua and did say unto him: Let not all the people go up; 
But let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ay; and make not all the people to labor thither, for they are but few. 
And so it was that there went up thither of the people about three thousand men; and they did flee before the men of Ay. 
And the men of Ay did smite of the men about thirty and six; for they chased them from before the gate and smote them in the going down; 
And so it was that the hearts of the people of Israel did melt and did become even as water. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua rent his garments, and he did fall to the earth upon his face before the ark of the testimony of יהוה (YHVH) until the eventide, 
And he and the Elders of Israel did rent their garments and they did put dust upon their heads. 
And Joshua said: Alas, O Lord, יהוה (YHVH), why hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? 
If only we had been content to dwell on the other side of Jordan! 
O יהוה (YHVH), what shall I say when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies? 
For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall surround us, and cut our name off from the earth. 
And what wilt thou do that thy great name (HaShem) shall be seen? 
And יהוה (YHVH) did speak unto Joshua, saying: Get thee up. 
Why for thou thus upon thy face? Know ye not that Jacob hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I did instruct them; 
For they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own things; 
Therefore, the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, and thus did they turn their backs but not their faces from before their enemies because they were accursed; 
Neither will I be with you anymore, except ye destroy the accursed things from among you. 
Get up! Sanctify this people, and say unto them: Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow; 
For thus saith יהוה (YHVH), Elohim of Israel: There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O congregation of Israel; 
Thou canst not stand before thine enemies until ye take away the accursed thing from among you. 
In the morning, therefore, ye shall be brought according to your tribes; and it shall be that the tribe which יהוה (YHVH) taketh shall come according to households; 
And the household which יהוה (YHVH) shall take shall come man by man. 
And it shall be that he that is taken from amongst them should give up the accursed thing that it shall be burnt with fire; 
And if he turneth it not out willingly and repenteth not of this thing, then יהוה (YHVH) shall burn him up, and all that he hath, 
And this because he hath transgressed the covenant of יהוה (YHVH) and because he hath wrought folly in Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua did rise up early in the morning and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken. 
And so it was that Joshua did bring the tribe of Judah, and he took the family of the Zerachites; 
And he brought the family of the Zerachites man by man; and Zabdi was taken. 
And it came to pass that Joshua did bring out his household man by man; and Akan, the son of Karmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerach, of the tribe of Judah, was taken. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua said unto Akan: My son, give, I pray thee, glory to יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel, and make a confession, and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me. 
And so it was that Akan did answer Joshua, saying: Indeed, I have sinned against יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel, and hereby, this is the deed which I have done: 
When I saw among the spoils a goodly sheepskin, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them and took them; 
And behold, they are hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua did send messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it, even as he had said. 
And the spies did take them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before יהוה (YHVH). 
And it came to pass that Joshua and all Israel with him took Akan, the son of Zerach, and the silver, and the sheepskin, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them unto the valley outside of the encampment. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua did speak unto them, saying: Why hast thou troubled us? 
And Akan, because he did repent, and that he did confess his sins even before all of the congregation of Israel, a fire of sacrifice was lit, and a burn offering was made; 
And so it was that Akan and his family were made to dwell outside the camp for seven days to purify them, and thus were their sins forgiven them. 
And it came to pass that the sheepskin, and two hundred shekels of silver, and the wedge of gold of fifty shekels were burned up, for they were acurssed. 
And so it was that יהוה (YHVH) did turn away from his fierce anger, wherefore, the name of that place was called the valley of Akor (disturbance). 
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did speak unto Joshua, saying: 
Fear not; neither be thou dismayed; take thou all the people of war with thee and arise; 
Yea, go up to Ay and see, for I have given into thy hand the king of Ay, and his people, and his city, and his land. 
And thou shalt do to Ay and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king; 
Only the spoil thereof and the cattle thereof shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves; lay thee an ambush for the city behind it.

Chapter 34

And it came to pass that Joshua arose, and he did gather up all the people of war to go up against Ay; 
And so it was that Joshua did take with him thirty thousand mighty men of valor and he did send them over by night. 
And Joshua did command them, saying: Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, to the city, and even behind the city; 
Therefore, go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready; and I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city; 
And it shall come to pass that when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them, for they will come out after us, till we have drawn them from the city; 
For behold, they will say: They flee before us, even as at the first; therefore, we will flee before them. 
Then ye shall rise up from the ambush and seize upon the city; for יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, will deliver it into your hand. 
And then it shall be that when we have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire; according to the instructions of יהוה (YHVH) shall ye do it. 
Wherefore, Joshua did send them forth; and they did go out to lie in ambush and abode on the west side of Ay. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua did lodge that night among the people of Israel. 
And so it was that Joshua did rise up early in the morning, and he did number the people. 
And Joshua did go up, he and the Elders of Israel, before the people unto Ay. 
And all the people of war that were with him returned themselves before the city, and they did pitch their tents on the north side of Ay. 
And there was a valley between them and Ai, and it came to pass that Joshua did take us five thousand men, and he did set them to lie in ambush in the valley to the West of Ay; yea, even on the west side of the city. 
And so it was that when they had set the people, even all the host that was on the North of the city, they that did lay in wait on the west of the city, that Joshua did go that night into the midst of the valley. 
¶ And it came to pass that when the king of Ay saw it, that they hasted and rose up early; 
And so it was that the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain; 
But the king of Ay knew not that there were men of war waiting in ambush against him behind the city. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them and fled by the way of the wilderness. 
And so it was that all the people that were in Ay were called together to pursue after them; and they did pursue after Joshua and were drawn away from the city. 
And Israel beheld that there was not a man left in Ay that went not out after Joshua and his men; and they left the city open and pursued after Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH), did say unto Joshua: Stretch out the sword that is in thy hand toward Ay, for I will give it into thine hand. 
And so it was that Joshua did stretch out the sword that he had in his hand toward the city. 
And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they did run as soon as he had stretched out his hand; 
Yea, and they did enter into that city, and took it, and they did hasten and set the city a fire. 
¶ And it came to pass that when the men of Ay did look behind them, they did see it; and behold, the smoke of the city did ascend up to the heavens. 
But they had no power to flee this way or that way, and all the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers. 
And so it was that when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again and slew the men of Ay. 
¶ And the other issued out of the city against them, so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side and some on that side; 
And Israel did smite them so that they let none of them remain or escape until the king of Ay was taken alive and brought before Joshua. 
And so it was that Joshua did hang the king of Ay on a tree until eventide; and when the sun went down, Joshua did command that they should take his carcass down from the tree. 
¶ And it came to pass that the war that was between the elohim of the city of Ay, and יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel did come to an end, and יהוה (YHVH) was once more undefeated.

Chapter 35

And it came to pass that Joshua did build an altar unto יהוה (YHVH), Elohim of Israel, even as Moses, the servant of יהוה (YHVH), had instructed the children of Israel. 
And so it was that Joshua did write upon the stones the Torah of Moses, and this he did in the presence of the children of Israel, that they should remember the covenant; 
For in that day that Moses and Zipporah did call for the Elders of the people, both the men and the women, to lay before their faces, all the words which יהוה (YHVH) did instruct them, 
And on that day, all of Israel did answer together as one, saying: All that יהוה (YHVH) hath spoken, we will do. 
And all of Israel, their Elders, and their officers, and their judges did stand before the Priests and Priestesses of the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of יהוה (YHVH), 
¶ And it came to pass that afterward, he did read all the words of the Torah, and there was not a word of all that Moses gave them which Joshua did not read before all the congregation of Israel. 
And all did hear it, even all the men, and all of the women, and all of the little ones, and all of the strangers that were sojourning amongst them. 
And he did teach unto them the Torah, and they did not forget Moses, nor Zippporah, nor Aaron, nor Miriam, 
That they should forget to teach it to their children and their children’s children that Israel should not forget the covenants and go after the elohim of man. 
¶ And it came to pass that the fame of Joshua was told throughout all the land, but Joshua did give the honor to יהוה (YHVH).

Chapter 36

Thou shalt love YHVH, thy Elohim, with all thy heart, and with all thy might, and with all thy strength. 
Thou shalt not take the name of YHVH, thy Elohim, in vain. 
Thou shalt keep the Sabbath of the Seventh Day holy, to sanctify it. 
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 
Thou shalt honor thy father and thy mother. 
Thou shalt not kill. 
Thou shalt not commit apostasy. 
Thou shalt not kidnap. 
Thou shalt not bear false witness. 
Thou shalt not covet.

Chapter 37

Thou shalt worship no other elohim. 
Thou shalt not make unto thee any elohim of thy hands. 
Thou shalt keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Passover). 
Thou shalt give thy first desire unto יהוה (YHVH), thy Elohim. 
Thou shalt keep the Sabbath of the Seventh Day holy, to sanctify it. 
Thou shalt observe Yom HaBikkurim. 
Thou shalt gather all thy men children to appear before יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel thrice in the year. 
Thou shalt not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leaven. 
Thou shalt bring the first of the first fruits of thy land unto the House of YHVH, thy Elohim. 
Thou shalt not cook a kid in the milk of his mother.

Chapter 38

And it came to pass that when all the kings which were on this side of Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea, 
Even the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite heard of the might of יהוה (YHVH) that they did gather themselves together to deal with Joshua and with Israel with one accord. 
And so it was that when the inhabitants of Gibeon gleaned what יהוה (YHVH) had done unto the elohim of Jericho and to the elohim of Ay they did take up old sacks upon their asses and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up, 
And old shoes, and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and moldy to seek the pity of Israel. 
And they went down unto Joshua unto the camp and did speak unto him and to the men of Israel, saying: 
We have come now to serve יהוה (YHVH); therefore, would ye take us in, and make ye a league with us, we would be counted as one with you 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua did speak unto all these, saying: Should ye dwell among us, and how then shall we make you one with us? 
And they did speak as one unto Joshua, saying: We are thy servants. 
And so it was that Joshua did ask of them: Who are ye? And from whence come ye? 
And they did answer him, saying: From the very countries of the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite thy servants are come; 
And this because of the name of יהוה (YHVH), thy Elohim; for we have heard the fame of יהוה (YHVH) and all that He did for His Israel in Egypt, 
And all that יהוה (YHVH) did to the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon, king of Heshbon, and to Og, king of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth and יהוה (YHVH) did slay their elohim. 
Wherefore, our wise men and all the inhabitants of our country did speak unto us, saying: Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, 
And do say unto them: We are your servants; therefore, now make ye peace with us that we be one with Israel and share in the strength of יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel. 
This, our bread, we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now behold, it is dry, and it is moldy. 
And see these bottles of wine, which we filled, were new; and behold, they be rent; and these our garments and our shoes are become old, 
For the elohim of this land hath fled before יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua did make peace with them and he did take them in, to let them live and become adopted into the tribes of Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that the kings of that land, and the princes of the congregation did sware the same oath unto יהוה (YHVH) that Israel did in the days of Moses and Zipporah, and Aaron and Miriam, saying: 
All that יהוה (YHVH) hath spoken, we will do. 
And so it was that at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that the children of Israel did journey; and they did come unto their cities on the third day. 
And the children of Israel smote them not because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel. 
And all the congregation of those lands did murmur against their princes, but all the princes did speak unto all their congregation, saying: 
We have sworn unto them by יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel; now, therefore, we may not touch them, and they shall not utterly destroy us. 
But יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel, shall be our Elohim, because it was certainly told that יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel did command his servant Moses to give all the land unto Israel and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land. 
Therefore, we were sore afraid of our lives because of our elohim did flee from before יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel. 
And now, behold, we are in thine hand; as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do. 
And so it was that in that day, the peoples of those lands did become one with Israel and were adopted into the children of Israel, that Israel did slay them not. 
And Joshua did divide them up by their families into the tribes of Israel that they be counted in the congregation of Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that the war that was between the elohim of the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, and יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel did come to an end before it could begin, and יהוה (YHVH) was once more undefeated.

Chapter 39

And it came to pass that Adoni-tzedeq (אדֹני־צדק Lord of righteousness), the king of Jerusalem (ירוּשָלם Yerusalem; foundation of peace), did hear that Joshua did take Ay and had utterly destroyed it; 
For even as Joshua had done unto Jericho and her king, so too did he unto Ay and her king. 
And Adoni-tzedeq saw also that the inhabitants of Gibeon did make peace with Israel and were grafted in amongst them; 
And so it was that Adoni-tzedeq did fear greatly because that Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, yea, it was greater even than Ay, and all the men thereof were strong and mighty. 
Wherefore it came to pass that Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, did send unto Hoham (the harbinger), king of Chebrun (Hebron; in league with), and unto Piram (a wild people), king of Yarmuth (Jarmuth; great pride), and unto Yaphia (Japhia; to shine forth), king of Lachish (low land), and unto Debir (one who speaks), king of Eglown (the calf), saying: 
Come up unto me and help me, that we may smite Gibeon; for she hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel. 
And so it was that the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglown, did gather themselves together and go up, they and all their armies, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against her. 
¶ And it came to pass that the men of Gibeon did send word unto Joshua, in the camp of Gilgal, saying: Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; 
For all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua did ascend from Gilgal (circle of stones), he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor. 
And it came to pass that YHVH did say unto Joshua: Fear them not; for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee. 
And so it was that Joshua went up from Gilgal all night that he and his men should catch them by surprise. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH did send a violence unto the men of the enemies of Israel, that they should be confused and not know their path nor their strength; 
And so it was that Israel did slay them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and Israel did persude them along the way to smite them to Azekah (dug about the land) and unto Makkedah (the place of shepherds). 
¶ And it came to pass, as they did flee from before Israel and were in the going down to Beth Choron (the place in a hollow), that YHVH cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah that they did die; 
And so it was that more did die by the hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua did speak unto YHVH in the day when YHVH did deliver up the Amorites before the children of Israel; 
And Joshua did said in the sight of Israel: Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ayyalon (Ajalon; city of deer). 
And so it was that the sun did stop in the midst of heaven and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

Chapter 40

And it came to pass that when Joshua did return unto the camp, and so too armies of Israel with him that he did send out spies to see how the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglown did fair. 
And so it was that the spies that Joshua did send out to see returned to him, saying: The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah. 
And it came to pass that Joshua did speak unto his armies, saying: 
Roll ye up great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them, and stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; 
Suffer them not to enter into their cities; for YHVH our Elohim, hath delivered them into our hand. 
And so it was that when Joshua and the children of Israel did make an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them entered into fenced cities. 
¶ And it came to pass that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace; none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel. 
And so it was that Joshua did speak, saying: Open the mouth of the cave and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave. 
And this they did, and they brought those five kings unto him out of the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglown. 
¶ And it came to pass that when the men did bring out those kings unto Joshua, that he did call for all the men of Israel, and Joshua did speak unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, saying: 
Come near; put your feet upon the necks of these kings. 
And so it was that they did came near and put their feet upon the necks of them. 
And Joshua did say unto them: Fear not nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage; for thus shall YHVH do unto all your enemies against whom ye fight. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua did smite them, and he slew them by his sword, and hanged them on five trees; 
And so it was that they did hang upon the trees until the evening that all should know that the elohim of those five kings, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglown, were defeated 
¶ And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua did command his men that they should take them down off the trees. 
And so it was that the men did take their bodies down and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth. 
¶ And it came to pass that the war that was between the elohim of Jerusalem, and of Hebron, and of Jarmuth, and of Lachish, and of Eglown, and יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel did come to an end, and יהוה (YHVH) was once more undefeated. 
And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time because YHVH, the Elohim of Israel fought for His Israel.

Chapter 41

And it came to pass that the fame of Joshua was told throughout all of Israel, but Joshua did give the honor to יהוה (YHVH), for the congregation did say: 
Did not Moses prophecy unto us, saying: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth; 
And Edom shall be a possession; Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly; 
Yea,and out of Israel shall come he that shall have dominion and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city. 
And now, is this not Joshua, son of Nun? Has he not fulfilled this promise? 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua spoke unto them, saying: Behold, it is not I that Moses spoke of, for I am but a man. 
But the Star that shall come out of Jacob shall come from Judah and is the Son of Eloah (לבר אלוֹה); for does not Sefer Seth (one who is appointed) not say: 
And because that Adam (mankind) did desire to become like Ha’Elohim, יהוה (YHVH) did condescend to take upon Himself the flesh of Adam (mankind), and this because of his compassion and love for all mankind (Adam). 
And because that Yachad, Yachid, Echad should come and be the very Son of Man (אדם בן), all of Adam (mankind) might be restored to their former glory, being divine, yea, even the very sons and daughters of Elohim; 
For the Star of Jacob shall give himself unto death for the sake of the whole world. 
And at the end shall all be restored, even as at the first, and Adam (mankind)  and Eve (life) shall be one with Ha’Elohim, knowing good from evil and doing that which is good; 
And being restored to their former glory shall be restored to their former glory because that their wicked desires shall be taken from them. 
And the even and Adam (mankind) should be the first, this Star that shall be anointed will be the last having conquered death and shoal; 
For the Yachad, Yachid, Echad that shall come is the very Star that does shine down above that Tree of Life in the garden of paradise (Eden). 
And the Star of Jacob, being made ready from before the beginning, shall shine forth in that day brighter than all the other stars, 
Yea even so bright who seek it shall see that it shall even shine in the day, being brighter than all the other stars, even brighter still that the sun and the moon. 
It the light of it shall be so bright, that darkness shall flee before it, and the Star of Jacob shall light the way even for the other stars. 
¶ Wherefore, I cannot be this Star out of Jacob, and I am of seed of Joseph, but that Star shall come forth out of the seed of Judah and shall be the descendent of both harlots and of kings. 
And know too that I fight not these battles for Israel, but it is יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, that doth give unto us these land, and destroy utterly the elohim of their peoples; 
Therefore, give not unto me that to which is due unto יהוה (YHVH), but give all glory unto יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim. 
¶ And so it was that Joshua did give the honor to יהוה (YHVH), and the people did open their mouths, and with their tongues did they confess and give all glory to יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim.

Chapter 42

And it came to pass that when Yabin (Jabin; the intelligent one), king of Chatsor (Hazor; the settlement or the village), had heard those things, that he did send out to Yobab (Jobab; to cry out), king of Madon (judgement), 
And to the king of Shimrown (Shimron; the dregs), and to the king of Achshaph (sorcery), and to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, 
And of the plains south of Chineroth (place of the harp and lyre), and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor (to heep up) on the west, 
And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh (to keep watch). 
And so it was that they did go out, they and all their armies with them, and they did have much people with horses and chariots, and thus were of a great number. 
¶ And it came to pass that when all these kings did meet together, they did come and pitch together at the waters of Merom (the peak), to fight against the armies of Israel. 
And YHVH did speak unto Joshua, saying: Be not afraid because of them nor of their elohim; 
For tomorrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel; thou shalt root up all their horses and burn their chariots with fire. 
And so it was that Joshua did come, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and their armies did fall upon them. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH did deliver the armies of them into the hand of Israel, and they did smite them; 
And so it was that Israel did chased them unto great Tzydon (Zidon or Sidon; city of fishing), and unto Misrephoth Msyim (the burning waters), and unto the valley of Mizpeh (to keep watch over, or to spy out) eastward. 
And the armies of Israel did smite their armies until they left them none remaining, and Joshua did root up their horses and burnt their chariots with fire. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua did turned back, and Israel did take Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword; and he did burn Hazor with fire. 
And all the cities of those kings and all the kings of them did Joshua take and smote them with the edge of the sword until he did utterly destroy even them as Moses, the servant of YHVH, had instructed. 
Yet the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel did not burn even one of them, save Hazor only, 
And that one did Joshua burn burn up that their elohim should be no more a plague upon the land. 
And do it was that Joshua did take all that land; and all their kings he did take, and he did smite them, and he did slay them. 
¶ And it came to pass that after Joshua had made war with all those kings, that YHVH did destroy utterly all the Elohim of the lands, 
And this because they did harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle, thinking that they might destroy El Elyon in battle. 
And so it was that the war that was between all the elohim of the lands that יהוה (YHVH) had promised unto the seed of Abrahm, and Isaac, and Jacob, and יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel did come to an end, and יהוה (YHVH) was undefeated. 
¶ And so did Joshua take the whole land, even according to all that יהוה (YHVH) had said unto Moses; 
And so it was that Joshua did divide up the lands for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes, and the land rested from war; so ended the wars of יהוה (YHVH).

Book of the Judgements of YHVH

The Book of the Judgements of the LORD

The Judgements of the LORD over His people, Israel.

Chapter 1

And it came to pass that Joshua did give them lands for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes; 
And the dividing up of the lands unto the seed of Jacob and the children of Israel is written down even in the Book of Allotments. 
And behold, Israel was obedient unto the words of Moses, and the Torah of Moses, wherein Moses did say: 
¶ And now, see that I have appointed my servant Joshua, son of Nun, and that he has been anointed to lead Israel into the land promised by יהוה (YHVH) unto our fathers, even Abraham, Isacc and Jacob, 
And he shall give unto everyone their portion and their due, and it shall be for a perpetual inheritance. 
Therefore, when the land be taken, let Joshua appoint unto everyone an inheritance sufficient them, and for their children and their children’s children. 
And to the princes their portions, that they have an abundance for their servants, and their households lest they be tempted to take reward for judgment, or feed not the poor for lack of bread, or deliver not the oppressed for the weakness of their arm. 
¶ And thus saith יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of Israel: Ye shall not sell your inheritances, nor shall you deliver them to the hands of strangers, to possess them; 
Yea, you shall in no wise grant them to others: for they are the dwelling of your wives and your children, and the food and raiment of your households. 
¶ And there in this, the words of יהוה (YHVH), ye shall find wisdom; for if ye should rent out your inheritances, thus taking a price for them, you shall not give those who would rent them to possess them; 
For if you do this thing they shall not give it up, but it will belong to them for all their generations. 
But if you should thrust them out at the end of their season, then shall your wives and your children, and all your household return to them, and none shall hinder them. 
Wherefore, you shall keep a book of inheritances that all may read therein, that no one should trespass upon their neighbor. 
¶ So too did Moses say: Ye shall set up landmarks to your possessions, and no one shall move them. 
But if ye set not up landmarks, or neglect to keep them up that they go to decay, and are lost, that anyone should trespass unknowingly, then they shall not be punished, for they knew not. 
But they shall pay for what was taken, or the one who did own that inheritance shall pay them for their labor, and take as their own, 
But the price of it shall be set low, for they did not know, or the price of the labor set high, for they did not know their trespass, thus the fault shall lay in the hands of the inheritor. 
¶ And if strangers or enemies set up landmarks against you, seeking to destroy and take your lands, then you shall destroy them until they do not remain. 
¶ And all this did Moses say unto Israel, and thus is the Torah of Moses unto the inheritance of Israel, 
That ye should not fight brother against brother, nor sister against sister, nor neighbor against neighbor that there should be peace in the land. 
Wherefore, I, Joshua, do instruct you, saying: Set ye up alters throughout the lands, that the Levites might offer up sacrifices, and pour out libations unto יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim. 
And so it was that altars were established unto יהוה (YHVH), and the Levites, both the Priests and the Priestesses, did establish the lands unto יהוה (YHVH); 
And these were of stone that were not hewn by the hands of man, and no steps were built to go up unto them, that the nakedness of the Levites should be discovered. 
¶ And the Priests did offer up sacrifices, and the Priestesses did pour out their libations; 
Yea, and the Priests and the Priestesses did remember the Holy Days, and they did read the night skys; 
And the young men did play their harps and bang the drums, and the young women did dance in worship in revelation.

Chapter 2

And it came to pass that after יהוה (YHVH) had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua did wax old and was stricken in age. 
And so it was that Joshua did call for all Israel, and for their Elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers and Joshua did say unto them: 
Behold, I am old and stricken in age; and ye have seen all that יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, hath done unto all these nations because of you; 
For יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, is the One that hath fought these wars against the old elohim that did abandon this land, and this יהוה (YHVH) did for each one of you. 
¶ And behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that יהוה (YHVH) did cut off, even unto the great sea westward. 
And if ye shall honor the covenant that ye did make with יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, He shall keep watch over you, and drive them from out of your sight; 
Yea, and it shall come to pass that ye shall possess their lands even as יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, hath promised. 
¶ Be ye, therefore, very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the Torah of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand nor to the left, 
And this that ye come not among these nations, these who do remain among you; 
Neither shall you make mention of the name of their elohim, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them; 
But ye shall cleave unto יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, even as ye have done unto this day: 
For יהוה (YHVH) hath driven them out from before you; but as for you, no one hath been able to stand before Israel unto this day. 
For if ye should keep the covenant יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, shall fight for you, even as He hath promised, 
But even as Moses did teach us, if ye keep not your oath unto יהוה (YHVH), you have no promise. 
¶ And it is the will of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, that ye should have no kings over you, but that ye shall appoint judges, 
Yet Moses did see that the day should come that you should desire a king over you, and this shall be as both a blessing and a curse over you. 
Therefore remember in that day the sayings of Moses: And when the king sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom and ruleth, he shall write for him a copy of the Book of HaTorah, according to that which is before YHVH continually, out of that which is before the Priests and the Priestesses, the Levites; 
And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life that he may learn to reverence YHVH, his Elohim, 
And to keep all the words of that Torah and these ordinances before him continually, to do them, and forget not to administer justice and judgment throughout the land; 
That his heart be not lifted up above his people and that he turn not aside from his mitzvoth, to the right hand nor to the left; 
And this that he might prolong his days in the land YHVH, our Elohim, shall give thee, and of his children among the faithful, and that he may prolong his days, he and his children, in the midst of Israel. 
¶ And the king shall execute judgment among the people, and over the rulers, and over all they that doth sit in judgment: 
Yea, he shall deliver the poor, and the needy, and the oppressed; and if their cry be faint, yet shall he hear them and harken unto their cries; 
And he shall be a father to the fatherless, and a husband to the widow, and a guardian to they who hath no protector. 
¶ And your kings, should they turn the works of their administration of this kingdom to another; 
Or should they appoint another to rule a portion in their name, they may take them a sar (governor or captain) and confer upon them command over the judgment seat. 
And the sar shall keep the Torah of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, and the law of the kings, and shall not depart from it; 
And the sars shall not exalt themselves against the kings of Israel, nor shall they keep their doings secret from the kings, but they shall be faithful unto the kings and unto יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, and to his house (tribe) of Israel in all things. 
¶ And the sar shall make no laws, but shall govern according to the laws of Israel, and the Torah of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, 
And should the sar devise up a new law, then he shall proclaim it not unto Israel except it be by the word of the king; 
For the sars shall do nothing that is forbidden to the king, but shall exercise all things by the commission of the king and only in the dominion they shall be appointed unto them. 
And should any sar despise the Torah of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, or the law of the kings, to do that which is set against their mitzvoth, then they be a usurper, and must be removed from their place.

Chapter 3

Wherefore, saith Moses: The kings over Israel shall appoint wise men and women who do study the Torah of יהוה (YHVH), and who are lovers of righteousness, fearing not the rich, nor despising the poor, to be judges; 
And these men and women shall sit upon the judgment seat of the king. And they shall sit before him continually, and this that they should judge in all great causes. 
And the ear of the judges shall never be closed that they cannot hear, for there shall always be judges to sit in the judgment seat throughout the land of Israel. 
¶ And so it shall be that a king shall appoint twelve judges to his court, if so many are needed; 
And all of these shall be High Priests and High Priestesses unto El Eyon; and they shall be at the disposal of the people of Israel for the judging of all great matters; 
But all the smaller matters may be judged by other judges, as shall be appointed, 
And this that these may judge the larger causes continually, and that they judge upon the judgment of other judges. 
And these judges shall hear and judge and determine speedily: 
Yeah, they shall not delay in their judgments, but they shall judge in righteous judgment without reward, doing no injustice. 
¶ And if any judges should judge unrighteously, or refuse judgment to the just, or despise the Torah, or take reward for their judgment, then they shall be removed from their places. 
But all they that do serve faithfully, they shall be given relief in their age and in their infirmity. 
¶ And the shamashim shall bring the disobedient, the stiffnecked, the peace breakers, and all they who have done great wickedness before the judges, 
And the judges shall execute their judgment upon all those who withstand it and obey not. 
And the shamashim shall execute all the orders of the courts, and shall be a fear unto the disorderly, and all revilers; 
And the shamashim shall do whatsoever the judges shall instruct them in righteousness. 
¶ And the Chief Shamash shall be the steward of the king which he committeth to the judges and shall render a just account of their stewardship to the judges. 
And one that doth sit upon the council of the king shall be the Head Shamash or the First Shamash. 
¶ And in all the villages, and the towns, and the cities shall judges be appointed; one to a village, two to a town, and three to a city, and if the people do require it, more: 
And they shall be the Elders of the people; men and women of God who shall sit upon the judgment seat of the city and judge all the causes which shall come before them. 
And they shall sit in judgment, on the judgment seat in the gathering place of their city and there they shall render judgment speedily upon all they who have violated the Torah. 
¶ And the shamashim shall execute the judgment of the judges upon all who obey not, and shall bring before the judges any peace breakers, and all who do violence. 
And there shall be a Head Shamash of each village, and town, and city, 
And the Head Shamash shall render a just account of all they have been given stewardship over as the principal minister of the court. 
And the shamashim are to be lovers of the Torah, of stout heart, strength of character, and swift of foot. 
¶ And all these things did Moses say unto Israel, that when the reign of the kings should come over Israel, the will of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, would be known; 
But now are the days of the judges of Israel, for the reign of the kings is not yet, 
Yet unto Israel has El Elyon made known how to set up the judgment seat that Israel should resist the temptation of setting one apart as king over you. 
And I pray that יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, shall be the King over these lands for all of your days, and that the judges shall judge in righteousness. 
For in this day, the Levites are the Priests and Priestesses of Israel, and יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, be our king. 
¶ And the day shall come that all of Israel shall be the Priests and Priestesses, the kings and queens of Israel, and יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, will be the Great High Priest and the King of kings. 
And until that day, take good heed, therefore, unto yourselves, that ye do love יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim with all thy might, all thy heart, and all thy strength, that ye should keep the Torah of Moses and the covenant. 
And know for a certainty that if ye do it not, that יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; 
But they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes until ye do perish from off this good land which יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, hath given you.

Chapter 4

And it came to pass that Joshua spoke again, saying: And behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth; 
And ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, did speak concerning you; 
For all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof; 
Therefore, it shall come to pass that as all good things are come upon you which יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, hath promised you, 
So too shall יהוה (YHVH) bring upon you all evil things until he hath destroyed you from off this good land which יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, hath given you. 
When ye have transgressed the covenant of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, which יהוה (YHVH) did instruct you, and have gone and served other elohim, and bowed yourselves to them, then shall the anger of יהוה (YHVH) be kindled against you; 
And should thou doest this, it shall come to pass that ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which יהוה (YHVH) hath given unto you. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua did gather up all the tribes of Israel before him, and he did call for the Elders of Israel, and for their heads, 
And for their judges, and for their officers; and they did come forth and present themselves before Ha’Elohim. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua did speak unto all the people, saying: Thus saith יהוה (YHVH), Elohim of Israel: 
Your fathers did dwell on the other side of the waters in old times, even Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nachor; and they served other elohim. 
And I did take your father, Abraham, and your mother, Sarah, from the other side of those waters, and led them throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied their seed, and I did give them Isaac. 
And I gave unto Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob and Esau; and I gave unto Esau Mount Seir, to possess it; 
But in the famine, I did send Joseph to make a way for Jacob and his wives and their children and all the house of Israel to go down into Egypt. 
And it was I, יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim, who did send Moses and Zipporah, and also Aaron and Miriam, and I did plague that Egypt, according to that which I did among them; and afterward I did bring you out. 
¶ And so it was that I did bring your fathers out of Egypt; and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the rushes of the sea. 
And when they cried unto me, I did put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; 
And the eyes of thy fathers and thy mothers have seen what I have done in Egypt; and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season. 
¶ And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side of the waters; 
And so it was that they fought with you; and I gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I destroyed their elohim from before you. 
Then Balak, the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose, and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam, the son of Beor, to curse you; 
But Balaam, my servant, he did blessed you still; so I delivered you out of the hand of Balak. 
¶ And ye went over Jordan and came unto Jericho; and the men of Jericho did fight against you, 
Even the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand. 
And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with thy sword nor with thy bow. 
¶ And behold I have given you a land for which ye did not labor and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; 
And I have given unto you of the vineyards and olive yards which ye planted not, yet do ye eat; 
Therefore, remember me throughout all your and I shall keep you for all your generations and you shall not be uprooted from out of this, the land of thy inheritance. 
But if you should forget me, and keep not the covenant and walk after other elohim, and serve them, and worship them, then you shall surely perish: and even as I have spoken, so shall it be.

Chapter 5

And now, I, Joshua, do say unto you: Honor יהוה (YHVH), and serve our Elohim in sincerity and in truth, and put away the elohim which your fathers served on the other side of the flood and in Egypt; and serve יהוה (YHVH). 
And if it seem evil unto you to serve יהוה (YHVH), then I say unto thee: 
Choose you this day whom ye will serve, be it the elohim which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood or the gods of the Amorites in whose land ye dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve יהוה (YHVH). 
¶ And it came to pass that all the people did answer, saying with one voice: Far be it from us that we should forsake יהוה (YHVH) to serve other elohim; 
For יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, did bring us and our fathers and our mothers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, 
And יהוה (YHVH) did all those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went and among all the people through whom we passed; 
And יהוה (YHVH) did drive out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land; therefore will we also serve יהוה (YHVH), for יהוה (YHVH) is our Elohim. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua did speak again unto the people, saying: Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you יהוה (YHVH), to serve Him. 
And so it was that they did speak, saying: We are witnesses. 
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua spoke again unto the people, saying: Put away then the strange elohim which are among you, and turn your heart unto יהוה (YHVH), Elohim of Israel. 
And so it was that the people of Israel did speak, saying unto Joshua: יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, will we serve, and the Voice of Him we will obey. 
And so it was that Joshua did make a covenant between יהוה (YHVH) and His Israel, and he did set the people that day a statute and an ordinance of it.

Chapter 6

And it came to pass that after Joshua had gone all the way of the earth, that the children of Joseph did take the sword of Joseph that had been made for Joseph when he did reign over all of Egypt, save it be the Pharoh of Egypt: 
The hilt of which being made of pure gold, and the workmanship thereof being exceedingly fine, and the blade thereof being made from the most precious of metals, the like of which was not to be found in all the lands, not even amongst the Egyptians; 
Yea, that same sword that Joshua did use to lead his people into battle in the name of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, did they take, and they did pass it down unto the descendants of Joseph, even unto this day. 
¶ And it came to pass that the people of Israel did go asking of יהוה (YHVH), saying: Who is it that shall go up for us against the Canaanites, to fight against them? 
For the wars of יהוה (YHVH) against the elohim of those lands had come to an end, but the wars between Israel and these foreign nations did continue. 
And thus did the people go unto the twelve men and the twelve women, one man and one woman from each of the tribes, anointed and set apart to judge the people, and these did enquire of יהוה (YHVH). 
And so it was that יהוה (YHVH) did speak unto Israel through these twelve men and twelve women of Israel, saying: 
Judah shall go up; behold, יהוה (YHVH) hath delivered the land into his hand. 
¶ And it came to pass that Judah did say unto his brother, Simeon: Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I, likewise, will go with thee into thy lot. 
And so it was that Simeon did go forth with him. 
And it came to pass that when Judah did go up that יהוה (YHVH) did deliver the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand. 
¶ And it came to pass that after they had slain ten thousand men, that they did find Adoni-Bezeq (אדֹני־בזק lord of Bezek) in Bezeq (בזק Bezek, lightning); 
And so it was that they did fight against him, and they did slay many of the Canaanites and the Perizzites. 
And it came to pass that when Adoni-Bezeq did flee the battle that they did pursue him; and they did catch him. 
And so it was that they did cut off his thumbs and his great toes. 
Wherefore, Adoni-Bezeq did say: Of the seventy-two kings I have brought low, these have gathered their meat under my table, for I had even cut off their thumbs and their great toes; 
Therefore, even as I have done, so hath Ve’Daiyan Israel (לארשי ןידו Protector/Judge of Israel) requited me. 
¶ And it came to pass that they did take Adoni-Bezeq to Jerusalem, and there he died. 
And so it was that the children of Judah did fight against Jerusalem, and they did take the city by the edge of the sword, and they did see the city burn. 
¶ And it came to pass that the children of Judah did go down to fight against the Canaanites that dwelt in the mountains, and in the south, and in the valley. 
And so it was that Judah did march against the Canaanites that dwelt in Qiryath Cannah, and they did take Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, and they were no more.

Chapter 7

And it came to pass that Kaleb (כלב, he who attacks) did say: He who will smite Qiryath Cannah and taketh it, to him will I give ‘Akcah (עכסה, tinkling ornament or trophy), my daughter, to wife. 
And so it was what Othniy'el (Othniel עתניאל, force of God), the son of Kenaz, the younger brother of Kaleb, took it; that Kaleb did give ‘Akcah, his daughter, unto Othniy'el to wife. 
¶ And it came to pass that when ‘Akcah did some unto Othniy'el, that she did urge her husband to ask of her father for a field. 
And so it was that after she had gotten off her ass, that Kaleb, her husband, did say unto her: What doth thou desire? 
And ‘Akcah did say unto him: Give me a blessing. 
And we know that ‘Akcah was set apart into that same priesthood as her mothers, Sarah and Rebekah, and Leah; 
For while the Daughters of Miriam were set apart to the Levitical Priesthood unto יהוה (YHVH), the daughters of the tribe of Judah were set apart also that they might bless their households, even as Zipporah had taught the daughters of Israel. 
For even as all of the men of Israel are kings and priests, so too are all of the women queens and priestesses, even as Moses and Zipporah did teach them. 
And Kaleb did bless his wife in prophecy, telling her by the Voice that she should receive her inheritance, even a land to the south. 
¶ And it came to pass that after Kaleb had blessed his wife, ‘Akcah, she too did lay her hand upon him, and she did bless her husband. 
And so it was that after she did bless him, she did speak again unto him, saying: See, thou hast given thy wife land to the south; therefore, give her also a well of water, and this that thy seed should prosper here upon this land. 
And Kaleb did give her the upper and the lower springs for water.

Chapter 8

And it came to pass that the children of the Kenite, the father-in-law of Moses, did go up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which lieth in the south of Arad; and they did go and dwell among the people. 
And Judah went with Simeon, his brother, and they did slay the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath and utterly destroyed it. 
And so it was that Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof. 
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) was with Judah; and they did drive out the inhabitants of the mountain but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley because they had chariots of iron. 
And so it was that they did give Hebron unto Kaleb as Moses said; and he did expel from there the three sons of Anak. 
And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; thus, the Jebusites did dwell with the children of Benjamin. 
¶ And it came to pass that the house of Joseph also went up against Bethel; and יהוה (YHVH), was with them. 
And so it was that the house of Joseph sent to descry Bethel. 
Now the name of the city before was Luz, and the spies saw a man come forth out of the city. 
And the spies did say unto him: Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will show thee mercy. 
And when he showed them the entrance into the city, they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family. 
And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz. 
Neither did Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and her towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns; but the Canaanites did dwell in that land. 
¶ And it came to pass that when Israel was strong, that they did put the Canaanites to tribute and did not utterly drive them out. 
Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them. 
Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites did dwell among them and these did become tributaries. 
Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob; 
And so it was that the Asherites did dwell among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out. 
Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; 
Nevertheless, the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became tributaries unto them. 
¶ And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountains, for they would not suffer them to come down to the valleys: 
But the Amorites would dwell in Mount Heres in Aijalon and in Shaalbim; yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed so that they became tributaries. 
And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to Akrabbim, from the rock and upward.

Chapter 9

And it came to pass that the angel of יהוה (YHVH) did come up from Gilgal to Bochim and did speak the Word of יהוה (YHVH) saying: 
I did make you to go up out of Egypt and have brought you unto the land which I swore unto your fathers; and I did say: I will never break my covenant with you. 
And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars; but ye have not obeyed my voice. 
And why have ye done this? 
Wherefore, I also did say: I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their elohim shall be a snare unto you. 
¶ And it came to pass that when the angel of יהוה (YHVH) spoke these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people did lift up their voice and they did weep aloud. 
¶ And it came to pass that they did remember the Torah of יהוה (YHVH) given by the mouth of Moses, saying unto all of Israel: 
I am YHVH, thy Elohim, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, to give thee the land of promise and to be thy Elohim; 
Thou shall be my Israel, thou shall keep my Sabbaths and find reverence in my sanctuary; for I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And Six days shall work be done; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, for a solemn assembly; thou shalt do no work therein; it is the Sabbath of יהוה (YHVH) in all of your dwellings. 
Yea, and for six days thou shalt do thy work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest, that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid and the stranger may be refreshed; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ And six years thou shalt sow thy land and shalt gather in the fruits thereof; 
But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still, that the poor of thy people may eat; and what they leave, the beasts of the field shall eat. 
In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard and with thy olive yard; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year: 
Thou shalt keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread, in which thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days as I taught thee in the time appointed of the month; for in it thou camest out from Egypt; and none shall appear before me empty. 
And the Feast of Weeks, the first fruits of thy labors which thou hast sown in the field. 
And the Feast of Booths, for this is when thou hast gathered in thy final labors out of the field. 
These three times in the year, all thy males shall appear before my face; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ These are the feasts of יהוה (YHVH); holy convocations, even convocations and feasts unto יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim. 
Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is the Sabbath day: 
You shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of יהוה (YHVH), in all your dwellings: 
You shall take care that nothing perish nor diminish, yet thou shalt not labor for hire nor increase. 
In this, you shall have a holy convocation in all your Temples and Synagogues. 
And concerning the feasts of יהוה (YHVH), which you shall proclaim to be solemn assemblies, even these are my feasts, and I am YHVH. 
¶ And it came to pass that the people did remember HaShem YHVH. 
And so it was that they did call the name of that place Bochim; and there they did offer sacrifices unto יהוה (YHVH).

Chapter 10

And in that day when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went, every man unto his inheritance, to possess the land. 
And the people served יהוה (YHVH) all the days of Joshua and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of יהוה (YHVH) that He did for Israel. 
And so it was that when Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of יהוה (YHVH), did die, they did bury him in the border of his inheritance, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash. 
¶ And it came to pass that all that generation were gathered unto their fathers; and there arose another generation after them which knew not יהוה (YHVH) nor yet the works which יהוה (YHVH) had done for Israel. 
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of יהוה (YHVH) and served Ha’Ba’alim (הַבְּעָלִֽים, the gods; literally the masters or the husbands); 
And they forsook יהוה (YHVH), the Elohim of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, 
And they did follow other elohim, the gods of the people that were round about them, 
And they did bow themselves unto them, and provoked יהוה (YHVH) to anger. 
And they forsook יהוה (YHVH) serving Baal and Ashtaroth. 
And so it was that the anger of יהוה (YHVH) was hot against Israel, and יהוה (YHVH) did deliver them into the hands of destroyers who did plunder them; 
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did sell them into the hands of their enemies round about so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies. 
Whithersoever they went out, the hand of יהוה (YHVH) was against them for evil as יהוה (YHVH)  had said and as יהוה (YHVH) had sworn unto them; and they were greatly distressed. 
Nevertheless, יהוה (YHVH) did raise up judges, who did deliver them out of the hand of those who did plunder them. 
And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they did prostitute themselves after other elohim and they did bow themselves unto them; 
And they did turn quickly out of the way which their fathers and mothers had walked in, for their fathers and their mothers did hear and obey the Torah of Moses; but their seed did not. 
¶ And it came to pass that when יהוה (YHVH) did raise them up judges, then יהוה (YHVH) was with the judges and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of those judges: 
For יהוה (YHVH) hearkened because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them. 
And so it was that when those judges were dead, that they did return to corrupt themselves more than their fathers in following other elohim, to serve them and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings nor from their stubborn ways. 
¶ And it came to pass that the anger of יהוה (YHVH) was hot against Israel; and יהוה (YHVH) did say: Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I made with their fathers and their mothers, and have not hearkened unto my Voice, 
I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died, 
That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep my ways: to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not! 
And so it was that יהוה (YHVH) left those nations without driving them out hastily; neither delivered He them into their hands.

Chapter 11

And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did leave behind some of the nations to prove Israel by them, for there were now many in Israel who had not tasted of the wars: 
And so it was that five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in Mount Lebanon, from Mount Ba’al Chermown unto Lebo-Chamath. 
And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the mizvoth of יהוה (YHVH), even the Torah given their fathers by the hand of Moses and Zipporah. 
¶ And it came to pass that the children of Israel did dwell amongst the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites: 
And some did take their daughters to be their wives, and did give their daughters to their sons, and many did turn away from the faith, serving the foreign elohim. 
And so it was that the children of Israel did evil in the sight of YHVH Adoni Ha’Shaboth (תבשה ןוֹדא הוהי YHVH, Lord of the Sabbath), forgetting יהוה (YHVH), their Elohim, and they did begin to serve Ha’Ba’alim in the groves; 
Therefore, the anger of יהוה (YHVH) came hot against Israel, and He did surrender them into the hand of Kuwshan Rish’athayim, the king of Mesopotamia. 
And so it was that the children of Israel did serve Kuwshan Rish’athayim for eight years. 
¶ And it came to pass that when the children of Israel did cry out unto יהוה (YHVH), YHVH Ve’Daiyan Israel (לארשי ןידו הוהי Protector/Judge of Israel) did raise up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even ‘Othniy'el, the son of Qnaz, the younger brother of Kaleb. 
And the Ruach יהוה (YHVH) fell upon him, and he did judge Israel, and went out to war; 
And so it was that יהוה (YHVH) did delivere Kuwshan Rish’athayim, the king of Mesopotamia, into his hands; and his hand did prevail also against Kuwshan Rish’athayim. 
And the land had rest for forty years, and יהוה (YHVH) was undefeated.

Chapter 12

And it came to pass that the people who had been first in the land were converted unto יהוה (YHVH) and were washed clean of their sins, all they who had seen all the great works of יהוה (YHVH) that he did for Israel. 
And so it was that they did mourn for their dead, for their dead could not be washed clean in יהוה (YHVH). 
¶ And it came to pass that Israel did remember the words that Moses had given them, for he did say unto Israel: 
And thus shalt thou do unto all they who dwell among you to cleanse them: Bathe them in water to the purifying of them, so make themselves clean; 
For except you be born of the water, you cannot enter into the Kingdom of YHVH Adoni Ha’Shaboth (תבשה ןוֹדא הוהי YHVH, Lord of the Sabbath). 
Yet no one may have washing (baptism) of water, except they have faith toward YHVH Raphacha (ךאפר הוהי YHVH Heals/Restores), and come unto Adoni Ha’Shaboth (תבשה ןוֹדא Lord of the Sabbath) through the Priesthood of Life which He has sent, in teshuvah; and these are they who seek to learn righteousness by the living word of His Torah: 
For this is the door of all into the Kingdom of Israel; from the year of their discernment (eight years of age) and upwards; through which if ye enter not, ye shall not see El Roi (יאר לא God Who Sees Me). 
And the keys of the Priesthood of Life are that of the remission of sins, in the sacrament of tevilah (baptism), hath יהוה (YHVH) thy Elohim, bestowed upon His talmidim; 
And through them, upon their fellow laborers, the High Priests and High Priestesses, Elders, and Priests and Priestesses, teaching them to preach teshuvah and to all nations throughout the lands. 
Thou shalt not abhor the Edomite, for he is thy brother; thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian because thou wast a stranger in her land. 
¶ When ye shall take the land, all they who would not be counted against you shall be one with Israel. 
And the children that are born to them shall enter the assembly of יהוה (YHVH) in their third generation. 
Therefore, at every house (temple), which you will build unto יהוה (YHVH) thy Elohim, by His instruction, you shalt make a fountain for tevilah chesed shel emet (טבילה חסד של אמת), the bathing of the living on behalf of the dead. 
¶ And for these shall the living be washed clean: Everyone, according to the several rights, and in the several orders, according to ancestry, gender, and title, shall they be washed clean for any deceased, be they a husband, a wife, or posterity; 
Or be they any progenitor, or any brother, or any sister, whom, in faith, are to be remembered of Israel in Sheol. 
¶ And if anyone should in marriage take a wife, and she is the first of her lineage adopted into the house of Israel, then in the redemption of the dead they shall be hers, and she shall bring them to the house of יהוה (YHVH) her Elohim; 
And by your faith, they shall be sealed into the house of Israel forever, to raise up in the last day, and to increase the glory of the Kingdom. 
¶ And so it shall be that they shall also be washed clean for any relative, within the fourth degree of ancestry; for anyone betrothed to thee in marriage; 
For their father, their mother, their brother, their sister, or their child in adoption, whom יהוה (YHVH) shall give to them by tongue, dream, vision, spirit ministering in fire, word of angel, or by the Voice. 
¶ And should YHVH Raphacha (ךאפר הוהי YHVH Heals/Restores) will that any servants of the Priesthood of Life be washed clean for any other, angels will come to signify it unto them. 
But unto my servants of the Priesthood of Everlasting Life, the Voice, or יהוה (YHVH) will minister in fire (the Holy Spirit). 
¶ But no man or woman among you shall be bathed for the dead who is not a member of the houses of Israel, by birth or by adoption; 
Nor anyone who is unclean, according to the word of the Torah, nor any who keep back their part from the treasury of the House of יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim. 
¶ And so it shall be that at every house which you shall build unto יהוה (YHVH) your Elohim, High Priests and High Priestesses shall be set apart, and sanctified by anointing with holy oil to wash clean for the dead, and none other shall administer this sacrament. 
And recorders shall be set apart by the laying on of hands of High Priests and the High Priestesses, to record the washings for the dead; who shall be eyewitnesses to the washings, and shall record according to the seeing of their eyes. 
And other witnesses, who see with their eyes, shall bear wittness of tevilah chesed shel emet, that all thing be proved by the testimony of two or three witnesses. 
¶ But there shall be one record unto which all records of tevilah chesed shel emet shall be brought, and all written together in perpetual archives, and this that what has been sealed on the earth, may also be sealed in the Heavens. 
And in every house of YHVH El Racham (םוּחר לא הוהי YHVH God of Lovingkindness) also shall ye keep the records of all who are clean. 
¶ And except you be born of the Ruach HaKodesh, you cannot enter into the Kingdom of YHVH Adoni Ha’Shaboth (תבשה ןוֹדא הוהי YHVH, Lord of the Sabbath). 
Therefore, so it shall be that all they who shall be bathed in tevilah, upon them shall one who hath been ordained unto the Priesthood of Eternal Life shall lay their hands upon them, and confirm them, by the spirit of prophecy and revelation, sealed in the Kingdom, according as the Voice speaketh. 
¶ And the Ruach thus given shall grant unto them gifts of faith, knowledge, and understanding; 
And if they cherish it, then shall it guide and establish them in all righteousness, and bring unto them further gifts. 
¶ And so it shall be that when they do lay their hands upon them, the Breath, like an invigorating breeze, shall come upon them and cover them; 
And it shall wash over them gifts and powers, according to the gifts of the Ruach HaKodesh; 
And as the Ruach HaKodesh moveth on, this gift shall continue, and they shall walk in newness of life. 
¶ And it came to pass that in the land given to Judah, a house was built unto YHVH Raphacha (ךאפר הוהי YHVH Heals/Restores), that sacrifices could be made and the washings prepared. 
And so it was that the upper springs which Kaleb did give ‘Akcah for water did flow into the house (temple) of יהוה (YHVH), that the people in that land should be washed clean by the living waters; 
And it came to pass that throughout all of Israel, where the people were, Israel did build houses unto יהוה (YHVH), that they could be washed and made clean along with their dead.

Chapter 13

And it came to pass that after forty years of rest, that ‘Othniy'el, the son of Qnaz, did go all the way of the earth. 
And it came to pass that once again, the children of Jacob did evil again in the sight of יהוה (YHVH); 
And so it was that Ve’Daiyan Israel (לארשי ןידו Judge of Israel) did strengthen Eglown (עגלוֹן, the bull), the king of the Moabites, against Israel because they had done evil in the sight of יהוה (YHVH). 
¶ And it came to pass that Eglown gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees. 
And so it was that the children of Israel served Eglown, the king of Moab, for eighteen years. 
¶ And it came to pass that the children of Israel did cry unto יהוה (YHVH), Tzur Israel (לארשי רוּצ Rock of Israel). 
And so it was that Ve’Daiyan Israel (לארשי ןידו the Protector of Israel) did raise them up a deliverer, and his name was Ehud (אהוּד, man of unity), the son of Gera, a Benjamite man who was restricted to the use of his left hand. 
And so it was that by him the children of Israel did send a gift unto Eglown, the king of the Moabites. 
Yea, and Ehud did have a dagger made for him, and the blade of it did have two edges, each one of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh. 
¶ And it came to pass that Ehud and his men did bring the gift of tribute unto Eglown, king of Moab; and Eglown was a very heavy man. 
And so it was that after Ehud had offered tribute unto the king of the Moabites, he did send away the men who had carried in the tribute. 
¶ And as Ehud did reach the idols of the Moabites, he did turn back, saying: I have a secret message unto thee, O King. 
And Eglown, the king of the Moabites, did say: Keep thy silence. 
¶ And it came to pass that upon the word of Eglown, king of Moab, all they who did attend to him went out from him. 
And so it was that Ehud did come unto the king of the Moabites as he was sitting in a summer parlor, which he had for himself alone. 
¶ And after all had gone out save it be Ehud and Eglown, Ehud did speak unto the king of the Moabites, saying: I have a message from Ve’Daiyan Israel (לארשי ןידו Protector/Judge of Israel) unto thee. 
And Eglown, the king of the Moabites, did arise from out of his seat that he might hear this message. 
And so it was that Ehud did put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into the belly of the king of the Moabites deeply, so that the hilt also went in after the blade; 
And thus did the fat close up upon the blade so that Ehud could not draw the dagger out of his belly. 
¶ And now, Ehud did know that Eglown was dead, for he did let go a deep breath, and the refuse (skat) did come out of him, and the stink of it was mighty. 
¶ And it came to pass that Ehud did go forth through the porch, shutting the doors of the parlor upon him, and he did lock them. 
And so it was that after he was gone that the attendants of the king did come in and, seeing that the doors had been bolted, they did say: Surely the king is cooling off in his summer chamber. 
¶ And it came to pass that they did tarry long, even until they were ashamed of the length of it. 
And so it was that when the king of the Moabites had not opened the doors of the parlor after much time, the attendants did take a key and open the doors of it. 
¶ And it came to pass that they did look, and they did behold that their master did lie dead on the earth in the stink of that room. 
And so it was that Ehud had fled away to safety as they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Siyrah, a village of goat herders. 
¶ And it came to pass that when he knew that he was in a place of safety, Ehud did blow a shofar in the mountain of Ephraim: 
And so it was that all the children of Israel who did hear it did go down with him from the mount, and he before them. 
¶ And it came to pass that Ehud did say unto them: Follow after me; for יהוה (YHVH), Ha’Tzur Israel (לארשי רוּצ the Rock of Israel) hath delivered your enemies, the Moabites, into your hand! 
And so it was that they did go down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and they did not allow anyone to pass over. 
¶ And it came to pass that they did slay ten thousand men, all lusty and all men of valor, for none could escape them. 
And so it was that the Moabites were subdued that day under the hand of Israel.

Chapter 14

And it came to pass that the land had rest for eighty years, and Ehud did judge Israel in righteousness. 
And so it is that we see the deceit and guile of the human heart; for when Israel doth keep the Torah, Ve’Daiyan Israel (לארשי ןידו Protector of Israel) rains His blessings upon her. 
Yea, and their harvests do multiply, and their flocks and herds abound, and they are found to possess gold, silver, and all manner of precious stones; 
And we see that יהוה (YHVH), Ha’Tzur Israel (לארשי רוּצ the Rock of Israel), doth preserve their lives and deliver them from the hands of their enemies. 
Yet when the sons of Jacob do harden their hearts, to forget YHVH Adoni Ha’Shaboth (תבשה ןוֹדא הוהי YHVH, Lord of the Sabbath) in their abundance, Ve’Daiyan Israel (לארשי ןידו Judge of Israel) shall bless them with great afflictions, 
And they face death and terror, despite the great goodness and love YHVH Raphacha (ךאפר הוהי YHVH Heals/Restores) has shown them. 
¶ And it came to pass that after Ehud, Ve’Daiyan Israel (לארשי ןידו Protector of Israel) did bring up Shamgar, the son of Anath as chief judge over Israel. 
And so it was that he did slay six hundred men of the Philistines with an ox-goad; and he also delivered Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Kodesh Israel (לארשי שודק Holy One of Israel) after Ehud was dead, 
For the seed of Jacob neither obeyed the counsel of Ha’Oseh Shalom (םולש השע the Maker of Peace), nor accepted the guidance of YHVH Yir’eh (הארי הוהי YHVH will provide). 
And so it was that Ha’Rachaman (ןמחרה the Merciful One), did say unto them: Because of thine iniquities you shall be cut off from the Presence! 
How quickly my Israel doth hasten toward offence (חטאה, sin), yet ye are slow to do thy mitzvoth! Being swayed by foolish things, you are slow of heart: 
Rushing to exalt yourselves in pride, seeing evil as good, and refusing to walk in the pathways of wisdom! 
¶ And it came to pass that Ha’Kadosh Israel (לארשי שודק the Holy One of Israel) did sell the seed of Jacob into the hand of Yabiyn (יבין, discernment), king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor, captain of the Gentiles. 
And so it was that the children of Israel once again did cry unto Ha’Rachaman (ןמחרה the Merciful One); 
For Yabiyn, king of Canaan, did have nine hundred chariots of iron; and for twenty years he did oppress the children of Israel.

Chapter 15

And it came to pass that Deborah (דבּוֹרה, she who stings like a bee), the prophetess, wife of Lapidoth (לפידוֹת, she who shines), was Judge over Israel in that day. 
And so it was that the children of Israel did come up to her for judgment.

The Prophecies of the Holy Prophets

The Prophecy of Enoch

From the Plates of Brass

Chapter 1

And now it came to pass that after YHVH Elohim did cast our father Adam and our mother Chavah (Eve) from that garden that is eternally in Eden, 
That the Shekinah of Alohykm did dwell with the cherubim standing between them and mankind, and they between the Presence of Elohim and that tree of life. 
And from Her were the malakim of the ministries of YHVH gathered and sent off, 
Going down from the heavens unto the earth, to do the will of YHVH, El Elyon, all about this earth. 
And it came to pass that Adam and Eve did teach their peoples, or their children, that journey back towards the garden that they should behold the radiance of the Shekinah, 
For the splendor of the Shekinah did radiate by the Ruach HaKodesh unto the ends of the earth and from all directions, coming up from the South. 
¶ And it came to pass that Ha’Elohim did travel, to and fro, from that garden, by the way of the Shekinah, 
And though mankind could draw near unto that garden by way of the Shekinah they could not pass the cherubim standing between Her and that tree of life, 
Yet by being in the Presence of Elohim, they did know and taste of the goodness of that tree. 
¶ And it came to pass that in the dispensation of Enoch, the children of Adam and Eve did cease to seek out the face of YHVH, 
And they did seek after silver and gold, and all sorts of precious stones, and built up elohim unto themselves that did teach them to seek after their own pleasures. 
¶ And it came to pass that the children of men did multiply upon the face of the earth. 
And it came to pass that in that day were born unto them beautiful and favorable daughters. 
And it came to pass that they who had been set apart to watch over the people of God, the priest who did watch over the temples of YHVH Elohim; yea, even the sons of Elohim, 
These did see the daughters of men and they did lust after them in so much that they did desire to take them and place them in bondage, 
And this that they should keep them unto themselves and dispose of them when they were through. 
¶ And it came to pass that they did gather themselves together, and did say one unto another: 
Come, let us take for us these women from among the children of men, and let us all swear an oath, 
And all bind us by the curse of that oath not to abandon this plan, but to do this thing, and keep it secret. 
And it came to pass that all they did swear together and bound themselves in secret combinations, even as had Cain, taking upon themselves the oaths of the Mahan; 
And in this did they begin to serve the Iyrin (those that watch, waiting to accuse), being themselves Nephilim (the fallen ones), the children of the Iyrin, rejecting the Torah of YHVH given unto Adam and Eve. 
¶ And it came to pass that some of these women they did keep alive for themselves, 
And these they did take unto them as wives, and did teach unto them the mysteries, and began to instruct the people in the ways of the Iyrin, 
That they should know to do cunning works of the apothecary, and charms and enchantments, and to read the stars. 
And they did take the silver and the gold and the precious stones from the earth and did teach to make ornaments, 
And so it was that all they had been taught that was the power of YHVH had been corrupted before Ha’Elohim and used for evil before His sight. 
And they did forsake their duties in the temples of YHVH and did begin to worship the sun, and the moon, and the stars, placing them as idols; 
For they knew to read the movements of the heavens, and now they did covenant to give unto the heavens power over them. 
¶ And it came to pass that Raphael and Michael, and Arial and Gabriel did look down from the heavens and did hear the cries of the children of men unto their idols, 
And seeing much bloodshed and the perversion of the priests of the temples of YHVH they did cry out also unto YHVH, saying: 
El Elyon, where is thy mercy? El Olam, this creation has been perverted by the teachings of the eternal secrets unto darkness! 
And it came to pass that YHVH, our Elohim, seeing the works of the Nephilim and their secret combinations, did turn unto Tzaphkiel, and spoke unto him saying: It is time; therefore, go down.

Chapter 2

And it came to pass that Jared knew his wife, Baraka; and she bore a son, and they did name him Enoch. 
And it came to pass that Jared and Baraka did teach Enoch in all the ways of Ha’Elohim, for they were preachers of righteousness, 
And they did speak and prophesy in the name of YHVH, and did call upon all mankind everywhere to repent, that faith would be taught unto the children of men. 
¶ And it came to pass that before Enoch was yet grown that he had taken unto himself a wife, Aadani, and she being older than he. 
And it came to pass that they did journey together in the land among the people; 
And wither they did go, they were cast out, for Enoch was but a lad to them; 
Yea, and this because his speech was slow, and some thought him mute, and others simple, a fool set before them of no worth. 
¶ And it came to pass that as they did journey, the Ruach HaKodesh did descend from out of the heavens and fell upon them and did abide upon them. 
And so it was that they did hear a voice from heaven saying: Enoch, my son, prophecy unto this people and say unto them: Repent! 
For thus saith YHVH: I am angry with this people, and my fierce anger is kindled against them; 
For their hearts have waxed hard, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes cannot see a far off. 
And for these many generations even since the day that I created them have they gone astray, and have denied me, and have sought their own councils in the dark. 
And in their own abominations have they devised murder, and have not kept the Torah which I gave unto their father, Adam and their mother, Eve; 
Wherefore they have foresworn themselves, and by their oaths they have eaten unto themselves death and that hell I have prepared for them if they repent not. 
And this is a decree which I have sent forth in the beginning of the world, from mine own mouth from the foundation thereof; 
And by the mouths of my servants, thy fathers and thy mothers, have I decreed it; even as it shall be sent forth in the world unto the end thereof. 
¶ And when Enoch and Aadani did hear these words, Enoch did bow himself to the earth before YHVH and spoke before YHVH saying: 
Why is it that I have found favor in thy sight? And I am but a lad, and all the people hate me, for I am slow of speech; wherefore am I thy servant? 
¶ And YHVH did speak unto Enoch, saying: Go forth and do as I have instructed thee and no man shall pierce thee; 
Yea, open thy mouth and it shall be filled, I will give thee utterance, for all flesh is in my hands, and I will do as seemeth me good; 
Therefore, say unto this people: Choose ye this day the Elohim who did make you! 
And YHVH said unto him further: Behold, my Breath is upon you, wherefore all thy words will I justify. 
And the mountains shall flee before you, and the rivers shall turn from their course; and thou shalt abide in me, and I in you; therefore, walk with me and be my chereb. 
¶ And it came to pass that Enoch did look upon his wife, Aadani, and said unto her: Will thy countenance fall upon me also? 
Or in other words: Would thou support me in this thing we have been called to do? 
And Aadani did answer him, saying: All that El Olam asketh of thee, I shall stand with thee that we should do it. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH spoke again unto Enoch and said unto him: 
Take up that urim and thummim that thou hast been given and anoint thine eyes with clay and wash them and thou shalt see; 
And I shall bless you, and set you apart, that ye shall be ordained unto me, the Tzadik Yachad of this generation. 
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH Elohim did take two stones, and did write upon them the Torah, saying: 
Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh is the Creator of All Things: 
He is El Elyon; know that YHVH is ONE, YHVH is UNITY, YHVH is ETERNAL, 
YHVH is not some elohim of man, made by their hands; therefore, YHVH is NEVER UNCHANGING, YHVH is NEVER ENDING: 
All things bear witness that YHVH is omnipotent and omnipresent, who maketh the Torah, and bindeth all things in their bounds, 
Who filleth Eternity, who was and is and will be from all Eternity to Eternity. 
¶ YHVH is all knowing: 
It was by Wisdom that the World was made, and the eyes, knowledge and wisdom, 
Observe all things, know all things, understand all things, for should YHVH turn His eyes away, all the creation should be destroyed. 
And here, in the creation, shall stand no unfruitful tree, and every place shall be blessed, for such is the will of YHVH. 
¶ They that have been warned, all these shall warn another: 
For the curse of mankind is ignorance, forgetting that which they have previously been blessed; 
For YHVH doth not curse mankind, nor the earth, nor her creatures; but it is the evil of mankind that has planted the curse that has born weeds and thistles upon the ground, 
For the evil fruits of mankind, yea the wickedness of mankind, these too shall bare seed; therefore, all those that have been warned, let them warn their neighbors. 
¶ Even as YHVH hath blessed the Sabbath day, let mankind keep the Sabbaths: 
Let mankind find rest in YHVH, that they should be blessed, for YHVH hath blessed all that is visible unto mankind, and all that is invisible unto mankind; 
Therefore, shall the Sabbath be kept that mankind should remember YHVH and the paradise that was created for mankind. 
And let mankind remember El Elyon on the Sabbaths, open their mouth and praise YHVH. 
¶ Thou shalt not have any malice in thy heart against another: 
Be it mankind or beast of the earth, or foul of the air, or fish of the sea, thou shall have no malice, for all are the creation of YHVH. 
And in the last day, when thou shall seek charity before the face of YHVH, Alohykm shall look upon thee and thy charity, and what shall be seen of thee? 
Wherefore, have charity for all the creation, for it is YHVH, and thou doth belong to Him. 
Yea, bear thee the yoke of thy neighbors, and love they that hate thee, look down and lift up any that are fallen; 
Be thou one to impart love that YHVH shall be seen and be known. 
¶ Remember the creation, keep all from before the foundation in thy heart, make firm all that hath been given from the beginning unto mankind: 
Speak thou with a humble tongue and a broken and contrite heart unto all, enter thy house clean; in patience bring thy gifts before YHVH Alohykm, 
¶ Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth; for thou art her creation. 
¶ And it came to pass that after Enoch and Aadani had been given this, the Torah of YHVH, that their eyes were opened unto them, both being ordained to the Holy Priesthood after the Order of the Son of God; 
And so it was that they beheld the spirits that Elohim had created, and they beheld also many other things which were not visible unto mankind, 
And from thenceforth came the saying abroad in the land: A seer hath YHVH raised up unto His people. 
And this because they had been given and did have in their possession that urim and thummim given unto their father, Adam, and their mother, Eve; 
And these were given when they were cast out of the garden, that they might see that they should find their way back to YHVH, their Elohim in teshuvah. 
¶ And this urim and thummim had been passed down from Adam and Eve unto Seth and Azurah, And from Seth and Azurah unto Enos and Naom, 
And from Enos and Naom unto Cainan and Melkah, and from Cainan and Melkah unto Mahalelel and Dinah, 
And from Mahalelel and Dinah unto Jared and Barakah, and from Jared and Barakah unto Enoch and Aadani. 
And it was given unto Enoch and Aadani to see, for they had been washed clean and were one with the earth, 
Or in other words, one with Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh, the Creator, and one with His creation. 
And it came to pass that Enoch and his wife, Aadani were called and set apart to be the Tzadik Yachad of that generation.

Chapter 3

And it came to pass that Enoch and his wife, Aadani did return unto their own lands, being the land of Cainan, and to the house of Jared and Barakah. 
And it came to pass that some in the house of Jared and Baraka had been converted unto that covenant of the Iyrin, being themselves of the Nephilim; 
Therefore, they did covenant in secret, one unto another, to take the lives of Enoch and Aadani. 
¶ And it came to pass that while Enoch and Aadani were sleeping, that some of those that were of the Nephilim did come before them in the night, seeking to take their lives; 
And they did behold a burning light that did light up the faces of Enoch and of Aadani, 
Even that their faces did shine like that of the sun, and as they did breathe, their breath was even as fire coming forth from their lips. 
And it came to pass that the servants of the Iyrin did fall down, for they were sore afraid. 
¶ And it came to pass that Enoch and Aadani awoke, and Aadani did speak unto them, saying: Have courage, and be not afraid. 
And it came to pass that those that were there did get themselves up, and they did flee from before them; 
Yet there was one among them, a daughter, and she did speak, saying: I am Ydris, and I have seen that I am nothing, and that the Iyrin are as nothing, 
For because that my covenant hastened me to obey, I did come out from out of the house of my father that I should take your lives; 
But now I see that YHVH is El Elyon, Elohim Shaddai that should be feared, all honor and glory be unto Him. 
And now I see that my covenant was unto death, but I desire to covenant unto life, for YHVH hath made my heart to fear (or honor) Him. 
And now, behold, the Nephilim shall seek me too, to take my life; for I shall not honor that wickedness but seek the mercy of YHVH. 
¶ And it came to pass that Enoch and Aadani did take Ydris from the house of her fathers, and did wash her clean, 
And they did seek to instruct her in the Torah, even as they had been instructed. 
¶ And it came to pass that the elders of her house did come in the night and take her, for they did desire her flesh and she had broken the covenant of Mahan; 
Therefore, they did cast her into a pit and began to fight one against another as to her fate. 
¶ And it came to pass that it was decided that she should be given unto the man who would role her fate, 
And so it was that it was said unto her: Ydris, daughter of Yabel, who is the son of Yaad, thou shall be taken up. 
And it came to pass that when that man did look down into the pit, his eyes were opened and he did see that the malakim of YHVH did surround her, 
And Ydris was standing in the Presence of Elohim; therefore, all that did look at her did die, and they that saw but the light of it were blinded. 
And it came to pass that Ydris did get herself up out of that pit, and did return to the house of Jared and Baraka; 
¶ And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH did come unto Enoch, and Aadani, and Ydris, and did say unto them: 
Thy father and thy mother, Jared and Barakah, they have been sent to those of the Nephilim that they should be converted and live, and this is again a land of YHVH and righteousness. 
And now YHVH, thy Elohim, would send thee forth into other lands; therefore, get thee up and leave this land and go wither I shall show you.

Chapter 4

And it came to pass that Enoch and his wives, Aadani and Ydris went forth in the land among the people standing upon the hills and the high places; 
And they did cry out with a loud voice testifying against their works of wickedness. 
And all the servants of the Iyrin, the Nephilim, were offended because they did speak their secret combinations. 
And the tent keepers did come forth to hear Enoch speak out upon the high places, and the tent keepers did say one to the other: 
Tarry thou here and keep the tents while we go yonder to behold the seer, for he prophesieth; 
And there is a strange thing in the land, a wild man (one who was not constrained by the social norms of their people) hath come among us. 
¶ And it came to pass when the people did hear Enoch, no man did lay their hands upon him, nor upon his wives, nor any that were with them: 
For fear came upon all they that heard them, for they did know that they did walk with Ha’Elohim. 
¶ And it came to pass that there came a man unto them, whose name was Mahijah, and said unto him: Tell us plainly who thou art, and from whence thou came. 
And it came to pass that Enoch spoke unto him plainly, saying: 
We came out from the land of Cainan, the land of my fathers, a land of righteousness unto this day, and my father taught me in all the ways of Ha’Elohim. 
And it came to pass as I journeyed from the land of Cainan by the sea east I beheld a vision, 
And lo, the heavens I saw, and YHVH did speak with me, and did instruct me; 
Wherefore, for this cause to keep the Torah we have been given, and the instructions YHVH did give unto me, I speak forth these words.

The Book of Melchizedek

Sefer Melchizedek

The secret knowledge given first from the temple of YHVH to Melchizedek—the king of peace, king of heaven upon the earth, the great High Priest after the order of the Son of God; then from Melchizedek to Abraham: Amen.

Chapter 1

An introduction and brief history of Melchizedek.

Melchizedek was a man of faith who wrought righteousness; 
And when he was but a child, he feared Ha’Elohim, and stopped the mouths of lions, and quenched the violence of fire. 
And thus, having been approved of YHVH, he was ordained Kohen Gadol after the order of the covenant which YHVH made with Enoch, 
It being after the order of the Son of God, which order came not by man, nor the will of man, neither by father nor mother, neither by beginning of days nor end of years, but of YHVH Elohim. 
And it was delivered unto men by the calling of the voice of Ruach Elohim, according to His own will, unto as many as believed on HaShem (The Name); 
For YHVH, having sworn unto Enoch and unto his seed with an oath by Himself that everyone being ordained after this order and calling should have power, by faith, to break mountains, 
To divide the seas, to dry up waters, to turn them out of their course, 
To put at defiance the armies of nations, to divide the earth, to break every band, 
To stand in the presence of YHVH, to do all things according to His will, according to His command, and to subdue principalities and powers; 
And this by the will of the Son of God which was from before the foundation of the world. 
And men and women having this faith, coming up unto this order of God, were translated and taken up into heaven. 
¶ And now, Melchizedek was a High Priest of this order; therefore, he obtained peace in Salem and was called the king of peace. 
And his people wrought righteousness, and obtained heaven, and sought for the city of Enoch which Elohim had before taken, separating it from the earth, having reserved it unto the latter days, or the end of the world. 
And YHVH hath said, and sworn with an oath: That the heavens and the earth should come together, and the sons of Elohim should be tried so as by fire. 
¶ And this Melchizedek, having thus established righteousness, was called the king of heaven by his people, or, in other words, the king of peace; 
Him who lifted up his voice, and blessed Abram, being the High Priest and the keeper of the storehouse of El Elyon; 
Him whom El Elyon had appointed to receive tithes for the poor. 
Wherefore, even Abram, who was born again unto YHVH Elohim as Abraham, the father of all of covenant peoples of YHVH, paid unto him tithes of all that he had, of all the riches which he possessed, which Ha Elohim had given him more than that which he did need. 
And because of his humility, YHVH blessed Abram and gave unto him riches, and honor, and lands for an everlasting possession, according to the covenant which he had made and according to the blessing wherewith Melchizedek had blessed him. 
¶ And Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine; and he broke bread and blessed it; and he blessed the wine, he being the great High Priest of the most high God. 
And he gave to Abram, after he blessed him, saying: Blessed Abram, thou art a man of the most high of Elohim, possessor of heaven and of earth; 
And blessed is the name of the most high Elohim, which hath delivered thine enemies into thine hand. 
¶ And Melchizedek, the king of Salem, lifted up his voice and blessed Abram with secret wisdoms, and taught him to guard them until they come forth unto the world, by the will of God, at the last days.

Chapter 2

Melchizedek tells Abraham of his past and his love of the City of Enoch.

And he said unto Abram: I, Melchizedek, the king of Salem, king of peace, descendant of Shem, known by my people as the king of heaven upon the Earth, High Priest (Kohen Gadol) of YHVH Elohim: 
I leave with you, Abram, the Word of YHVH unto you, to teach from generation to generation; 
I, who desire to be taken up into the city of Enoch, along with my people, the people of Salem—here and now I set down for the guidance and teaching for those that are to come after. 
¶ And I speak with certainty and most truly these things that have been passed down from the time of Adam until now by my fathers. 
We that are below who shall join with those above, and those with thee shall join together again so that they produce a single priesthood, a most wonderful blessing from Alohykm unto mankind. 
¶ In the great city of Enoch, taken unto Ha’Elohim, these truths were taught openly, and without fear: 
Now, as the men of this world die and await judgment, the mighty ones of the city of Enoch, which is Zion, do live and die not; 
But behold, they were taken up from the earth to renew their lives eternal in the kingdom Celestial where the Tree of Life grows eternally upward. 
And as the whole universe was brought forth from One by the Word of God, who is YHVH, who is Chesed (mercy), so also all things are regenerated eternally from YHVH, according to the mercies of Alohykm. 
¶ And this city has Avinu (our Father) of knowledge for a Father, and the wisdom of the Tree of Life for a mother: 
And the city was carried by the air, as if in a womb, after it was finished being nursed by the earth, 
And this because YHVH is the cause of all perfection, of all things throughout the universe. 
And it shall come to pass that those that dwell in this city shall attain the highest perfection of powers Celestial when, in the end times, it shall be returned back unto the earth. 
¶ And even I did at the first walk in the dark, not knowing the way that led into light, looking for the path to this city that dwells with Alohykm; 
But YHVH did bless me, and I have ascended from the darkness (or abyss) by the power of Ruach HaKodesh into the light; 
And thus my strength and the power of the priesthood, or in other words by the power of God, has been awakened and renewed. 
¶ Now for a time, I reign among men in the city of Salem and the lands around bout; 
And is shall soon come to pass that we too shall leave, by the Grace and power of YHVH, who is our Elohim; and thou shalt know me no more. 
But in the last days it shall come to pass that I and my people shall return again with the Messiah, full in the Priesthood of the Son of God, requiring for YHVH an account of those who were left behind. 
¶ And before that day shall I come to stir the healing waters and distribute here upon the earth once again the keys of the Priesthood to organize mankind in the name of YHVH once again, 
And then shall men and women be baptized in water and fire, that Aviad shall fulfill through the Messiah Jesus Christ the destiny of Adam, of mankind—the very hope and endowment of all. 
¶ And I shall descend with the Son of Man in that day from the City of Enoch: 
What went from the earth into the sky shall descend again to the earth, and recognize that the things above and of things below are one, for they do belong to YHVH; 
Therefore, it is He that possess the glory of Alohykm Celestial who’s keys we shall carry, and beyond this degree no one shall climb any further. 
The priesthood and authority of Kedem Qadam Kadmon Himself presently comes forth stronger by reasons of this fortitude; 
The Holy Priesthood after the Order of the Son of Man subdues all earthly and heavenly bodies surely, 
Whether before or beyond the veil, the Son of Man shall penetrate them, and upon Elohim shall the glory be given. 
¶ Then beware, O men of the Earth: If ye shall betray these teachings for priestcraft, YHVH, Ha’Elohim, and the Sons of the Morning shall cast ye down from your high estate, into the darkness from whence ye came. 
Betray not these secrets to the men and women of this world, lest my curse, which is the curse of Alohykm, even a great curse, shall fall upon thee. 
Remember and heed my words, for surely will I return again at the last days and require of thee that which ye have been entrusted to guard. 
¶ And, even in the meridian of time shall I be reborn, at that time when the Son of Man shall open the graves, and from beyond death shall I return; 
And when the Messiah shall come, and shall be given unto death by his friends and shall rise from death, for YHVH is God, creator of all things, and shall subdue even life and death; 
At that time shall I too return, and again at the last day, and at other times as sent by YHVH, to bring to the earth the keys of each generation, from generation to generation; 
So shall I do, rewarding as ye have requited, by fulfilling the commandments of God and his Priesthood, 
Or punishing those that sell what is precious unto YHVH to unworthy men and women with their whorings and priestcrafts. 
¶ Separate shall I the earth from the fire, yea as it ascends from earth to the heavens; 
And again, it descends to earth and receives the force of things for good and for evil, depending on the heart of man. 
By this means of separation ye shall have the glory of the whole world, and thereby all obscurity shall fly from you; 
But so too shall the Wisdom of Alohykm be kept hidden from thee, if thou give in to the darkness of mankind.

Chapter 3

The teachings of Enoch.

Great were the people of the YHVH Shalom in the city of Enoch, listening as they did to the teachings passed down from the ancient of days: 
Great knowledge and great wisdom had they, beyond the corruption of the world around them; 
Knowing the wisdom of old, seeking from within the heart of Elohim YHVH, the Eternal Alohykm, knowledge that belonged to mankind’s youth coming out from the garden. 
Wise were they with Elohim’s wisdom, yea they were wise with the wisdom of Ha’Elohim, these Sons of the morning and Daughters of light; yea, the very angels didst dwell among them within their city; 
Strong were they with the power of Priesthood; drawn from that eternal fire that is Ruach HaKodesh—not the fires of this world which only cast shadows among the darkness. 
¶ And of all these, greatest among the children of mankind was their High Priest, Enoch and one of his wives, the High Priestess: 
Keepers of the great temple, prophets and seers, teachers of the children of Light who dwelt within the city, driving out the priestcraft of mankind which inhabited the lands around them: 
Mouthpiece of YHVH was Enoch; he who walked and talked with Ha’Elohim, spoke he to the kings of men with the Voice that must be obeyed. 
¶ From this wisdom passed down from my fathers, grew I from a child into manhood, being taught by my fathers the elder mysteries, until in time there grew within me the tree of knowledge and the fire of wisdom, until it burst into a consuming flame. 
And I desired nothing, neither food nor sleep: naught but the attainment of wisdom. 
¶ One great day the command came from them that I be brought before Kohen Gadol, the High Priest of YHVH in the court of my fathers. 
Few there were at that time among the children of men who had looked upon that mighty face and lived; 
For some that see are found wanting; and in them the fire brings madness, heresy, or death. 
Yet was I chosen from the sons of men, taught in the ways of YHVH by Kohen Gadol so that the purpose of HaShem might be fulfilled by the passing of wisdom and knowledge; yea, and of knowledge and understanding: 
For not as the teachings and wisdom of mankind are the teachings of the Sons of the Morning: 
Yet I wast chosen from the sons of men, taught the ways of YHVH by Kohen Gadol that the purpose of The Name might be fulfilled by the passing of knowledge and wisdom; yea and of wisdom and understanding. 
¶ Many years did I dwell in the Temple, learning ever and yet ever more wisdom, until I too was filled with the light emitted from the great fire (representing the Sefirot or emanations of God). 
And he taught me the path to Ha’Elohim, the path of the Sons of the Morning, yea even the Sons of Light, even they that cried out with joy at the creation. 
These secrets share I with you, Abram; for the lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of understanding; 
For where the teacher walks in the paths of YHVH, the ears of those ready for his teachings are open; 
Likewise, when the ears of the student are ready to hear, then cometh a teacher to fill them with wisdom.

Chapter 4

The teachings of the temple.

In this manner was the world created: 
First was everything, and everything always was; and thus all is and ever was En Sof, or everlasting: 
And this was Alohykm and Ieshurun, and the beasts, and the plants, and the rocks, and the wind. 
Yea, it was all; yet it was as nothing, for it was void; and darkness was, as it were, upon the face of the deep where dwelt as it were a great pool of living water: 
And the first stage of man, the eternal man adam kadmon that was never born and shall never die, was brooding upon the face of the waters. 
¶ And Elohim moved upon the face of the waters, and drew them up, the intelligences, and they are gods, the very sons and daughters of Elohim; even the Sons of the Morning and the Daughters of Light. 
From the void sprang everything; and there was never a time when there was truly nothing, forever and eternal are we, and ever and eternal is YHVH. 
And these gathered and organized, and light shined upon the face of the darkness, but darkness knew not the light. 
Thus are the five stages of man: Intelligence, Spirit, Flesh, Soul, and Resurrected Being; the final being all stages in one, a Morning Star—forever complete. 
Thus are the incarnations of man, and the arrangements to follow this road are hidden from the eyes that cannot see. 
¶ For this reason, we are calling Elohim the one God: one in essence, yet many in aspect; or many in being, yet one in priesthood; 
The highest being two: both male and female, thus being four, and again seen as five as their unity is one, the fifth being Keter. 
In this trinity is hidden the knowledge and wisdom of the whole world, 
And through the mercy and justice of Alohykm shall we gain understanding, and by understanding, a glimpse of the Crown of Elohim. 
The children of god descend to the earth to become sons of men; to die as princes, and ascend from the earth to the heavens, and become rulers over that which is above and that which is below. 
¶ Deep I bowed in homage before YHVH receiving as my gift, the Key of Life, which is knowledge given with wisdom, even the very Tree of Life. 
A great sin it is to eat from the tree unbeckoned, yet beckoned was I; 
Thus to the stars and the City of Enoch shall I too one day journey, then space and time shall be as naught; 
For after drinking deep of the cup of wisdom, I have looked into the hearts of men, and there I found greater mysteries; as for only by losing myself in the service of others was my joy made full. 
And only in the truth of YHVH can our souls be filled, and the flame within lit eternally, as mankind too is filled with Ruach HaKodesh. 
And, through the ages has the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God lived and been passed down by my fathers, and now from my fathers unto you, Abram. 
And I, seeing those around me taste of the cup of death and return again unto the light of life, even the bosom of Alohykm, know that this life is but a fleeting memory. 
And thus, gradually I learned from the wisdom of my fathers, knowledge passed down from the City of Enoch; 
This wisdom filled me with waves of consciousness that had been one with me in a prior incarnation, only to be replaced by spawn of a lower star here upon the earth.

Chapter 5

The secrets of the temple.

In obedience to the Torah, the teachings of Kohen Gadol, the High Priest and keeper of the secrets of the temple, grew in my heart like a flower. 
And he taught me the true things of YHVH Alohykm, Turning me away from the darkness to the thoughts of the Most High, speaking the Word, calling the power (light) from on High. 
And there in the temple he taught me of our father, Adam, the first man to whom our Alohykm revealed His light and knowledge. 
¶ Adam was born under a star (a comet?) as it shot across the night sky, only to vanish and reappear upon his death. 
The man, Adam, was known at birth by a prophecy to be a usurper of the gods of men, gods from deep within Earth's heart; 
And the sons of men heard of his birth, and upon hearing they ordered their priests to change the fire that burned in charge to their gods to sacrifice all the children born under this star. 
¶ Now this fire represented the fire that burns eternally (hell), changing and shifting, casting shadows upon the hearts of mankind; 
And this great fire bows to and fro, changing its direction by every draft of wind; 
But Adam was made from the dust of the Earth, given wisdom Chokhmah and the breath of life, which is the very knowledge (Da’at) of Alohykm. 
And the man Adam was blessed by the Father of the Heavens and nourished by the Mother in the Earth, and he was raised in a cave, hidden from the faces of men. 
¶ And as Adam grew, he first worshiped the shadows that gave him food and warmth, but in time he saw that these were false gods, for they were but the shadows of man; 
And then he worshiped the men, but as time went on, he saw them age, and knew they were like him, but flesh. 
And when he saw the light coming from outside the cave, and he worshipped the light, and O how he longed to be in its warmth! 
¶ And it came to pass that one day be escaped the cave, still a boy, and saw that the light came from the sun, and so he worshiped the sun; but that night, the sun died and so he worshiped the moon: 
And in the morning, he saw that the sun was resurrected, and so he worshiped the sun again. 
But the sun was hidden from him later in that day, and the rain washed Adam clean, and he knew that these light bringers were not gods, neither the sun nor the moon. 
¶ And Adam escaped away and was gathered up by YHVH and taken to a garden in the bosom of his true mother, Eden; and here, in the garden was he given wives, and taught the ways of Alohykm. 
And here he was given the seven keys of YHVH, the very keys of creation.

Chapter 6

The Keys of Creation.

And the first key of creation opens the prisons shut up by death, for when in harmony it divides the light from the darkness, for there must be opposition in all things: 
And by this key is the soul given birth in man, being born anew from the seed planted in the heart of Adam, the spirit and the flesh birth the soul within the body, and these three: the spirit, flesh, and soul, become as one. 
And in the first key is the hidden stone, the new name, given that shall be as a sign to men and women; an urim and thummim of the heart: 
This urim and thummim burns bright for it contains the Holy Spirit, a vast sea of glass and fire, for all things of the mystery here shall be revealed. 
And the first key brings harmony to the three sides of mankind, eyes might be open to the visions of YHVH, to prepare mankind to speak Word of YHVH, and to take action in uplifting one another; for only in the light might we see truth and seek justice that the creation of YHVH be fulfilled. 
Take heed, therefore, and do not be deceived; for Alohykm is Truth, and YHVH is Mercy that mankind might be the hands and do the works to unite the body and the spirit: 
And this is the first keys, and this is the first purification of the soul, that mankind shall shine in whiteness, for the work of the first key is never ending. 
¶ And the second key is the separation of the firmament; and this separation made by raising up filter to purify the terrestrial into the celestial through the firmament; 
And the celestial rains upon the earth, to feed the waters terrestrial and purify the earth and all life thereupon. 
And the rainwater is given to temper the fire of judgment, that mankind might find supplication before YHVH Alohykm. 
None may reveal this secret of the firmament but they who are given of God to understand it, and even then, only by prayer to Alohykm shall make clear the truth; 
For the knowledge of this great mystery is an endowment from the heavens, and this second key may only be used by those that have found the light of the first: 
And neither force, nor reasoning, nor any of the ways of mankind shall give them access; 
Therefore, let them read the writings of our fathers and let them meditate upon the things of YHVH Alohykm; 
And most importantly, let them pray; for the mystery of the endowment may be made clear by the works in prayer and fasting in meditation upon El Elyon. 
And without supplication the firmament cannot be created, and the waters cannot be divided from the waters; 
And this conversion is the only way whereby our souls brood in the mother’s womb; 
Therefore, know the light of the first key, which dissolves the darkness with peace, is purified by the second key, in the water in the great sea of the creation. 
And this water shall become the very wine of the vine which we do here drink as the water of life, but is to the darkness the bitterest of vinegar to the tongue: 
Taste therefore the sweetness of the wine upon thy tongues, and by its digestion ye shall be purified, for the work of the second key is never ending. 
¶ And the third key is the separation of the dry ground from the water, for as the light is the creation by the fire of judgment and the waters are the mercy of YHVH, the ground is our mother the Earth, the very Shekinah, and the plants shall bear fruit in us of the works of Alohykm. 
And when the dry ground appears, the soul is birthed from the womb, and grass and herbs shall mankind eat thereof that he shall not faint; 
For there is no lacking of light and water upon the earth for nourishment if we possess this, the third key; and the heavens are no longer closed to us. 
And a spring of living water shall come out of the stone, to nourish the fruit of the vine that we might make our wine, for nothing shall come from the earth which is not for our good; 
For that all which is unclean is made perfect by the very fire hidden in the center of Eden, washed by the Holy Spirit. 
It has been said that there is nothing is more contrary than fire and water, than judgment and mercy; 
Yet Alohykm has stated that we must make peace between us and our enemies, and radically love one another vehemently: 
Therefore, all things must be purged by fire and by water to be brothers and sisters in the earth, which had ascended with them; 
Therefore, the body must be washed in the water, and the spirit cleansed in the fire for Eden be made whole in humidity, and this for every generation: 
For the spirit of mankind’s desire is Eve, the body of mankind’s actions is Adam; and these two, joined together replenish the desires of the human race; 
For these two are of the same nature, yet differ in their genders, and this must be to ascend as one Adam together, soul, spirit, and body; 
And after purification, at last these are inseparably, united their most noble and perfected form through the third key. 
And behold the water; it is a living spring which comes from out of the stone; miracle of nature! 
To the wicked the water which cometh fourth from out of this stone is as vinegar, 
To the uninitiated it is wine upon which they who drink become intoxicated and sleep; 
But to the enlightened it is truth: knowledge and wisdom from the foundation rising up to the crown. 
Wherefore, this third key is given many names: some call it wine, some oil, some vinegar; but it is the very water of life: 
Use it therefore to cleanse thine own eyes, and thy face, and thy bodies, 
For it is necessary to clean the body in humility, to remove the blackness, and make a perfect union of the earth and the heavens. 
And this is the soul, inseparably uniting the spirit and the flesh, the heavens and the earth, for the work of the third key is never ending. 
¶ And the fourth key is the shining of the lights of the firmament to guide us in our rebirth; for in the stars is the Word of Alohykm written and the will of YHVH known. 
Doubt not the signs of the heavens, but know that they shall neither move thy feet nor thy hearts; 
For the writing in the heavens will guide the righteous watchers to the land of promise, the wisemen to the king, and the soul it shall cause to produce fruits that cannot be purchased at any price. 
Write then, the messages of the heavens and watch their motions and see how they appear in motion about the earth, for the work of the fourth key is never ending. 
¶ And the fifth key is the creation of life in the waters, and the air; and the fish are our desire for mercy, and the fowl are our desire for knowledge and wisdom, and as the foul eat the fish, understanding is given upon the earth. 
The perfecting of the earth is the perfecting of our desires upon it, and the greatest of these is to reach up, as the fowl of the air, and fly unto the heavens. 
And the union of spirit and the flesh are washed clean by the desires that grow in the seas, the water taken up to the heavens to be purified and rain back down to cleans the earth. 
As the soul submits to the will of El Elyon, the flesh and the spirit are cleansed and housed anew in the soul; 
Therefore, watch thy desires that they do not fly so free that they forget to feed in the waters, and to nest upon the earth, for the work of the fifth key is never ending. 
¶ And the sixth key is the creation of animals of the land, and of mankind within Adam, who is Eve, 
And together they walk straight without twisting and winding along vain roads on to which many stray and are found wondering. 
And these animals of the earth are our desires at every level; but the highest desire is that of Adam and Eve; 
For in these are our will to bestow and our desire to receive all the things of YHVH Alohykm. 
And we have been given these keys of creation that we might gain experience; 
For experience is both wisdom and knowledge, and truth; and in truth shall understanding be revealed, for there must be opposition in all things for the work of the sixth key is never ending. 
¶ And the seventh key is the sabbath for the Shabbat is life everlasting and it is never ending.

Chapter 7

The Keys of Knowledge and Wisdom.

And Melchizedek blessed Abraham and Sarah, saying: I, Melchizedek, king of Salem, king of peace, give thee wisdom, gained from Shekinah, the divine Mother, and I give thee knowledge, gained from Avinu, the Divine Father; 
And I give thee power in the mercy of the Son of Man, and I give unto thee strength in Ruach HaKodesh, the light and the Breath of the Divine fire. 
And here is wisdom: To know the name, the true name, infinite and eternal; for the Son of Man is as a star bound to a body, freed through the strife of this life; 
And only by the struggling and toil of this world, the fallen creation, shall the star within be born, a new life. 
Remember, therefore, that all which exists upon this earth is nothing more than that which has always existed, and that which has passed into being, and thou too, for there are no exceptions. 
¶ And freely do I give these endowments (or gifts) to the children of the Son of Man, 
That they too might share this same understanding to shine as a divine light from the foundation of the world, to cut through the veil of darkness that lies in the hearts of mankind. 
¶ And in Asyma, the Mother, power is wisdom; She is Eden, the earth; all alike is one, thus perfecting the whole; 
Therefore, be thou not proud, O man, in thy wisdom of the earth, for without humility it is ignorance to the wise. 
¶ And in Aviad, the Father, power is knowledge; He is the air and His words are written upon the night sky; 
Therefore listen and take heed, that thou shall not be silent nor deceived when evil is spoken for Truth. 
¶ And in the Son, power is mercy; 
He is the living water washing clean in the light shining above all, raining down upon the Earth, ending the drought and famine destroying all the living lands. 
¶ And in the Spirit (or breath), power is the strength of justice; 
He is the fire of the Torah, He is the punishment, for only through Torah comes the freedom of mankind. 
¶ Fear not the Spirit of YHVH, once washed clean in mercy; for fear is the bondage that binds mankind in the darkness. 
And in wisdom consider the Torah, for all thou seest is Torah; therefore, seek not that which is not of the Torah, for such exists only to deceive the mind and will of mankind. 
And know too that our Mother, Wisdom, cometh to all Her children, even as they cometh unto Her in wisdom; 
For though the light has been hidden by mankind, if we awake and are wise in Her, seeking for that which is hidden, Her mysteries shall be revealed: 
Therefore, follow thy heart in understanding and do obey the Torah given thee, for the Torah is love eternal. 
¶ And when thou hast gained riches, thou shall be poor; but when thou shall give up thy good as the heart commands, thou shall be rich; 
Know thou that thy heart is the key to the understanding of the soul. 
And when thou hast the key, it becomes thy duty to share the secret and to guide all those seeking the path of righteousness that they go not astray, 
For they that are lost cannot find the straight path; therefore, it is given thee to walk among mankind with love in thy heart, from the beginning and end, for this is the creation. 
¶ And if anyone should come unto thee for council, they should speak freely, or thou shall be deceived; 
But if they hesitate to open their hearts in humility before thee, then thou shalt judge even according to the Torah that thou hast been given. 
And to know what these have said in their hearts, return back their words in simplicity, but not in extravagant speech; do this and those that go before thee shall know the wisdom of El Elyon. 
¶ And know thou that silence is a pearl of great value, and insight gained from such cannot be purchased and any price, 
For speech given to exalt the heart is a worthless vanity, lower than the dust: 
Therefore, to be great among men and women, a Kohen Gadol and a Kohen Gadolah of El Elyon, be known for thy gentleness and thy meekness; seek not for servants but see the earth as thy friend. 
¶ Ask not for the companion of any that know not YHVH, yet give of thy time and all thou as unto any that need; 
Debate not with they that know not Alohykm, yet by what is written upon their hearts hear their words, 
For all that enter into the ears must come forth from the mouth filtered by the heart, and they that love thee as a friend shall share their hearts with thee: 
Yet the fool shall regard knowledge as ignorance, and wisdom as vanity, and the things that are of great worth unto him are lost in death. 
Wherefore let them cook their food upon the fire all the day, and when the night comes it shall be as cold as the frost, eat of it not. 
¶ Sarah, O Sarah! Listen to Shekinah, the voice of wisdom; for in Her is the voice of light! 
Abraham, O Abraham! Listen to the voice of knowledge, for the mysteries are written there in the sky; unveiled them for the world has need of their light. 
¶ And ye who are now free from the bonds of darkness, ye are the creation of YHVH Alohykm; 
Ye are Adam and ye are Eve, born from the fire of the earth and the breath of the sky. 
And ye know that even as doth water falls upon the earth, so too doth fire burn, and the brightest fire shall gather more flames, therefore be ye one with fire of divine light. 
¶ Ye who have seen the fire that is alight from within, alight from the eternal fire to dwell eternally, 
Quench not the inner flame, but share it that it may reform the earth and finish the creation. 
And in this divine flame is that shall overcometh all things, and shall perfect all the things of the Earth. 
But mankind cannot see the vision, therefore guard this wisdom, let it not be mocked, 
For mankind is a fire burning in the night, and never is quenched is the darkness of his heart. 
But if ye shall peek into the hearts of mankind ye shall see these are not free from the bondage and strife, and the toils; 
For they understand not the fire, they being trapped in the shadow of night.

Chapter 8

The Keys and Wisdom of numbers.

One is the unity of the Creator, infinite and eternal; and one is two halves that make a whole; for something cannot come from nothing, yet everything is and always has been whole: and know ye mankind that ye are and shall never be alone. 
¶ Two is the marriage of the creation; the formation and the unity of the heavens and the earth; it is the duality, the one that shall give and the one that shall receive; for this is the Torah: that in love is that which is received given, and in love is that which is given received. 
¶ Three is the balance and harmony of all things; it is the kindness in which all shall cultivate and grow; it is that fulfillment of the Torah, and the reward and the punishment; it is the harmony and the balance of all things. 
¶ Four is the doorway we must pass through in humility; it is the end of ego, the very death of mankind; it is the temple of YHVH in which we study and live the Torah; in it is the firmament of the heavens, and our shelter from the storm of the wrath of Alohykm. 
¶ Five is the endowment of life; it is the soul born within mankind; it is the very breath of Alohykm, the Creator; it is the very earth we walk upon, and the foundation of the soul; five is the creation: all creation, all that is, was, and shall ever be. 
¶ Six is the unity of Alohykm; it is perfection of the earth, the sealing of the heavens and the earth, the bridge connecting these two creations; it is the root of the tree, it is the tree itself growing into the heavens, it is all: north, south, east, west, up, and down; it is all and it is one. 
¶ Seven is the struggle; it is the rest; it is the sustenance of YHVH given to mankind; it is the Creator’s light, shining forth to correct the world; it is the struggle between our desires: that which we see as good, and the desires of El Elyon, righteousness. 
¶ Eight is the choice; it is the infinite of infinite; it is all that might be, yet all that truly is; it is the soul rising beyond mortal limitations; it is the resurrection; it is the free will of mankind. 
¶ Nine is the awakening; it is the realization of mankind; it is the womb of understanding; it is the kindness and mercy of the creation from the Creator; it is the final repentance of mankind; it is everything found that is worth finding, never to be lost again. 
¶ O my children! Ponder ye on that which I hath given thee, for in the knowledge of these keys are hidden the wisdom to transform mankind; 
Reach ye ever upward, turn thy thoughts upward and as ye seek the light ye shall find life in the keys of that which I have given thee, a light on the pathway to the understanding ye seek; 
Turn thy thoughts therefore inward, and the light shall pour from thee, for these are the numbers that are the very fruit that grows upon the tree of life.

Chapter 9

The Keys of Knowledge and Wisdom.

One is the oneness of the Creator, eternal and infinite; and one is two halves that make a whole; for something cannot come from nothing, yet everything is and always has been whole: and know this, that mankind is and shall never be alone. 
¶ Two is the marriage of the creation; the unity in the formation of the heavens and the earth; it is the duality, the one that shall give and the one that shall receive; for this is the Torah: that in love is that which is given received, and in love is that which is received given. 
¶ Three is the cycle of creation, it is the flow as water from the earth to the heavens, and from the heavens unto the deep (abyss), and from the deep unto the earth again; it is the strength of youth, and the fortitude of the established, and it is the wisdom of age. 
¶ Four are the dimensions of the Heavens: east to west, north to south, and there is a wind to carry the Voice all about the Earth; four maketh fire from water, as YHVH doth send out His messengers to establish upon the Earth all of His ways. 
¶ Five is the sealing of the earth unto the heavens; that which is sealed upon the earth shall be sealed in the heavens, and that which is not sealed upon the earth shall be unsealed; in the end, all things that are, were, and ever will be shall be sealed unto YHVH, Valiant be His name. 
¶ Six is the depths of the abyss; in here lies the transgression and the transgressor, yet here too lay the mercy of YHVH, for all might return unto Him that created them; and if these shall ask, He shall place a ring upon their finger and prepare a feast in their name. 
¶ Seven is the crown of the Heavens; and He who sitteth upon the throne shall be blessed, and shall bless all they that desire Him, for He the sitteth upon the throne weareth the crown and shall show mercy upon all they that shall ask of him, for these are the humble. 
¶ And all of these are the Living Elohim; yea, all of these are truth eternal, and joy eternal, and love eternal; and blessed are all they that seek these, the seven days of creation; for these are the Torah of YHVH, these are the love of YHVH. 
And the Torah is given that mankind might see and might know the love of YHVH, and to know YHVH, and to love YHVH; 
Let those with ears hear the Torah of YHVH, and let those with eye see the creation of YHVH, that it is good. 
¶ And on the eighth day shall judgment come, and the works of mankind be counted. 
And on the ninth day shall the work be finished and mankind shall be forever whole. 
¶ And when I received of these teachings, Kohen Gadol, the High Priest of YHVH, said unto me: The Torah and the rituals of this temple will be your guide, 
Follow these both forward and backward, up and down, but not to one side nor to the other side; 
Do this, following the path that you have been shown, and return unto Eden and taste of the fruit of the creation of YHVH.

Chapter 10

The Torah of Truth.

From before the time when this earth was created, all of the spirits yet to be born stood before Kedem Qadam Kadmon and Alohykm, 
And there, if we could see them, we would see that everything did appear even as it does now upon this earth, that they are a reflection of the same. 
And when the spirits came here to dwell in the flesh they did take upon themselves their own forms, albeit in corruption, for this world is corruption. 
¶ The Torah of YHVH is given unto each generation, beginning with Adam and Eve even while they were in the Garden of Eden. 
And so it was that YHVH sent the angel of YHVH and Raphael, the angel of healing and of secrets, to recite the Torah unto Adam and Eve. 
And when the people first heard him, they fell down in fear of the Word of YHVH; 
And it came to pass that Raphael gave mankind the Word a little at a time, even as they were prepared to receive. 
And it is passed down by the wise unto all generations, and when lost it is revealed anew that the people of Elohim might speak the words, 
That they might hear the Spirit of Elohim (Ruach HaKodesh) and listen to the instructions of YHVH. 
And Adam and Eve saw the Torah with their own eyes, and everything they read in the book they did read with their spiritual eyes. 
¶ The Torah of YHVH is written upon stones made of sapphire, it can only be read by the soul; 
It is written by the hands of mankind in their own language and in their own understanding that they might gain understanding through the four gates: in wisdom and in knowledge, in mercy and in strength. 
There are those that say the Torah was written in the seven days of creation, but I say unto you: 
That it was never written but always was, thus was it given upon the seventh day that YHVH might rest. 
The Torah of YHVH contains the seven paths of truth, the twenty-two symbols (letters) of knowledge, the seventy-two branches of wisdom, and the one hundred forty-four circles of understanding. 
¶ And the seven paths all lead to the very tree of knowledge of good and evil, that mankind might gain wisdom in her branches. 
And the seventy-two branches of the tree of life all grow out into infinity, that mankind might know truth: YHVH, our Elohim. 
And the one hundred forty-four circles are infinite Sefirot, the fruit that grows upon the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 
¶ And all this that mankind, in their finite nature, might come unto an understanding of the infinite, for YHVH is infinite and YHVH is the knowable Elohim. 
In every generation is the Torah, and the Torah is in every generation; the Torah is the record of the beginning and the end of every generation of mankind (Adam). 
Adam and Eve did not keep the Torah secret, for the Torah is a parable, it is itself a secret, a mystery understood only by the soul awakened by the very breath of Alohykm (Ruach HaKodesh). 
¶ By the Torah were Adam and Eve given the signs and tokens, and they were taught to use them by Raphael, yet the angel was not the Torah. 
The Torah was given to dispel all the doubts of mankind, that teshuvah would be known, 
That temples would be built once mankind should leave paradise, and an atonement should need be made. 
But that paradise should be both reward and punishment for mankind, as once mankind rested in the garden, they would see truth: 
That mankind had never left Eden, but Ha’Elohim did hide it from there eyes. 
For Alohykm is with mankind always, and all those that seek to belong to the ways of Elohim are protected, 
That the goodness of El Elyon should always be that He should rule the earth, even as He rules the Heavens. 
¶ And the Torah of Adam was handed down until the days of Enoch, who was given the Torah for his generation, he and his wives; 
Seth, the son of Adam wrote down the words of the Torah, yet in every generation they become corrupted, and their understanding lost, 
¶ And here I will teach you the Torah of Adam this day, in this temple. 
And Enoch was given the Torah and Adam (mankind) had this precious stone until Enoch was taken from off the earth. 
And when the waters of the flood subsided, the Torah was given unto Noah that mankind would be one, but mankind was divided.

Chapter 11

The Torah of Adam - the Torah of Atzluth.

And this is the Torah of Adam, YHVH did come unto Adam and Eve, saying: I make between the Heavens and the Earth, and this covenant shall be a token of the eternal covenant (everlasting covenant) between The Creator and His Creation:

ONE

¶ Because of your love for the Creator, thou will be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth: 
Have joy in your prosperity, every man love his wife, and every wife love her husband; every father love his son, and every mother love her daughter; favor love and affection; 
And thou shall do this that you should have peace.

TWO

¶ Because of thy love for the Creator, thou will care for the Earth, for it is the creation of YHVH, in it is life and happiness: 
All of this is given unto you that mankind might find joy therein.

THREE

¶ Because of thy love for the Creator, thou will watch over and care for the fish of the sea, and the fowl of the air, and every living thing that moveth upon the earth: 
Do this that you shall be just and that you shall have justice.

FOUR

¶ See now that mankind has been given every herb bearing seed upon the face of all the earth, 
And every tree in the which shall be the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you these shall be for meat: 
Care for and cultivate their seed that they may flourish, and in them ye shall not go hungry.

FIVE

¶ See now that mankind has been given every beast of the earth, and every fowl of the air, and every fish in the sea; to you these shall be given for meat: 
But know that their blood is precious unto me and I am YHVH, your creator; therefore only shed blood to keep your life.

SIX

¶ See now that every tree of the garden thou have been given, and from them you may freely eat, but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil ye shalt not eat: 
And here is the agency of mankind: Thou mayest choose for thyself, for it is given unto thee; 
Yet remember that it is forbidden, for in the day any eatest thereof they shalt surely die.

SEVEN

¶ And here is the Torah, upon which all the mitzvoth rest; yea, do this and all the Torah is fulfilled and ye shall be perfect: Love. 
Even as all of the creation is given unto mankind, Alohykm shall send the rains and the droughts, 
And Alohykm shall cause the sun to rise and to set, and Alohykm shall send the heat and the cold, being no respecter of persons; 
Therefore, love even as YHVH and be perfected in Torah by this thy mitzvot, giving generously unto all. 
¶ And the Torah of Adam is the tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed, for it is even as a fire to cleanse thee. 
¶ And in that day that it was given, there came an angel with a sword and a scroll wrapped together, and that angel did say unto them: 
If thou will keep what is written upon this scroll then shall you be saved from the sword; 
But if thou are to burn it up, and eat it not, then at the ending shall the sword kill thee, for in it is the Torah of Atzluth.

Chapter 12

The Torah of Enoch - the Torah of Beri'ah

And this is the Torah of Enoch, the covenant made between the Heavens and the Earth; and this covenant is as a token of the eternal covenant between The Creator and His Creation:

ONE

¶ The Creator of All Things, El Elyon; know that YHVH is ONE, YHVH is UNITY, YHVH is ETERNAL, 
YHVH is not some elohim of man, made by their hands; therefore, YHVH is NEVER UNCHANGING (not stagnant), YHVH is NEVER ENDING: 
All things bear witness that YHVH is omnipotent and omnipresent, who maketh the Torah, and bindeth all things in their bounds, who filleth Eternity, who was and is and will be from all Eternity to Eternity.

TWO

¶ YHVH is all knowing, it was by Wisdom that the World was made, and the eyes, knowledge and wisdom, 
Observe all things, know all things, understand all things, and should YHVH turn away, all the creation would be destroyed. 
And here, in the creation, shall stand no unfruitful tree, and every place shall be blessed, for such is the will of YHVH.

THREE

¶ Those that have been warned, all these shall warn another: 
For the curse of mankind is ignorance, forgetting that which they have previously been blessed; for YHVH doth not curse mankind, nor the earth, nor her creatures; 
But it is the evil of mankind that has planted the curse that has born weeds and thistles upon the ground, 
For the evil fruits of mankind, yea the wickedness of mankind, these too shall bare seed; 
Therefore, all those that have been warned, let them warn their neighbors.

FOUR

¶ Even as YHVH hath blessed the Sabbath day, let mankind keep the Sabbaths, let mankind find rest in YHVH, that they should be blessed: 
For YHVH hath blessed all that is visible unto mankind, and all that is invisible unto mankind; 
Therefore, shall the Sabbath be kept that mankind should remember YHVH and the paradise that was created for mankind, 
And let mankind remember El Elyon on the Sabbaths, open thy mouth and praise YHVH.

FIVE

¶ Do not have any malice in thy heart against another, be it mankind or beast of the earth, or foul of the air, or fish of the sea: for all are the creation of YHVH: 
In the last day, when thou shall seek charity before the face of YHVH, Alohykm shall look upon thee and thy charity, and what shall be seen of thee? 
Wherefore, have charity for all the creation, for it is YHVH, and thou doth belong to Him. 
Yea, bear thee the yoke of thy neighbors, and love they that hate thee, look down and lift up any that are fallen; 
Be thou one to impart love that YHVH shall be seen and be known.

SIX

¶ Remember the creation, keep all from before the foundation in thy heart, make firm all that hath been given from the beginning unto mankind: 
Speak thou with a humble tongue and a broken and contrite heart unto all, enter thy house clean; 
In patience bring thy gifts before YHVH Alohykm,

SEVEN

¶ Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth; for thou art her creation. 
¶ Obey this Torah and thou shall escape judgment, shining forth as a light in the darkness, loving one another in all ages, and all times, and Zion shall be thine. 
And this shall be an eternal covenant that the creation, that all they that seek the light shall find it, that the beloved of YHVH, Eden, be saved. 
¶ And YHVH shall set the iyrin in the cloud, that when YHVH shall bring the iyrin over the earth, they will appear in the skies, in the clouds; 
And these will stand ready as a witness and as a reminder of the covenant which YHVH has made between the Heavens and the Earth, for every living creature of all flesh. 
And the iyrin will be in the cloud to bear the signs and the tokens that YHVH shall never again flood the earth with the waters to destroy all flesh. 
And YHVH will look upon it and remember the Everlasting Covenant that He made with the fathers, 
And the children will look upon it and know that when mankind walks in teshuvah, Zion will come again upon the earth. 
¶ And this is the Everlasting Covenant: That when our children’s children embrace the Torah and look upward, Zion will look downward knowing, 
And all the heavens will shake with gladness, and the earth shall tremble with joy; 
And the General Assembly of the Church of the Firstborn shall come down out of heaven, and possess the earth, and shall have peace until the end does come. 
¶And this is the Everlasting Covenant between the Earth and the Heavens, 
And YHVH made with all those that came before us, and shall make with all of our seed, for time and all eternity. 
And in that day that it was given, there came an angel with a sword in one hand and a scroll in the other, and that angel did say: 
If thou will keep what is written upon this scroll in my left hand then shall you be saved from the sword of mercy in my right hand; 
But if thou are to burn it up, and eat it not, then at the ending shall the sword kill thee, for in it is the Torah of Beri'ah. 
And the iyrin sit in the clouds even to this day, to watch over every living creature that moves upon the earth.

Chapter 13

The Torah of Noah - the Torah of Yetzirah

And YHVH sent Noah and Na’amah to free mankind from the floods, and they were given the Torah, and the Torah of Noah was taught unto mankind:

ONE

¶ YHVH hath established His covenant with mankind, therefore thou shalt worship El Elyon as one people: 
Worship not the elohim made by the hands of men, for YHVH is not a god of man’s creation. 
YHVH is unity, the Creator; be ye one as the creation.

TWO

¶ Be ye fruitful and multiply, breed abundantly upon the earth, and multiply therein.

THREE

¶ Into thy hands hath been given every green herb, every fruit of the tree, every beast of the earth, every fowl of the air, and everything that moves upon the earth, and all the fish that swim in the waters: 
YHVH hath given all these unto mankind as food, but the blood of all flesh ye have been given for meat, this ye shall not eat; for the blood is to be sealed upon the ground. 
The blood is the life; therefore, the blood shall not be shed, except for meat, or to save your lives; the blood of every beast will I require at your hands.

FOUR

¶ Whosoever kills another human in murder, to shed their blood, YHVH shall seek their blood; 
For mankind shall not shed the blood of their fellow man; mankind is made in the image of Elohim.

FIVE

¶ All mankind are brothers and sisters, thou shalt preserve the life of one another in teshuvah, for ye are all one race and one people, 
For in the image of YHVH was mankind made; therefore, love one another, succor those that stand in need of succoring; 
Yea, give of your substance unto all they that stand in need; suffer not that the beggar putteth up his petition unto thee in vain.

SIX

¶ Be ye fruitful and multiply; bring forth thy children throughout the land and multiply the children of Elohim therein (missionary work).

SEVEN

¶ Remember this Torah, and the Torah of thy fathers in mercy even as YHVH is merciful and saved mankind from the flood, for this is thy mitzvoth; 
Teach this to thy children that all shall be well unto thee unto the last generation. 
¶ And the Torah of Noah is the unity of mankind in mercy for all those who take hold of her; those who hold fast unto her will be blessed. 
And in that day that it was given, there came an angel with a sword in his left hand and a scroll in his right, and that angel did say into them: 
If thou will keep what is written upon this scroll then shall you be saved from the justice of this sword; 
But if thou are to burn it up, and eat it not, then at the ending shall the sword kill thee, for in it is the Torah of Yetzirah.

Chapter 14

The Torah of Melchizedek - the Torah of Assiah

And now, I shall give unto thee the Torah of this generation; and this shall be thy Torah and the covenant between YHVH and mankind unto all generations, 
And it shall be unto you an eternal covenant, for this is the Torah of Melchizedek; 
Yea, this is the Torah as it was given unto me, and I give it unto thee, Abraham, that thou should give it unto all thy generations, even unto as many as are worthy of it. 
Yea, this is the Torah unto all those that would seek to enter into this path and grow in Torah unto the Torah of Adam, even the Torah of Atzilah; 
And this shall be thy mitzvah, and the mitzvah of all they that desireth to drink of that cup of the Torah of Yetzirah, unto the Torah of Beri'ah, even unto the Torah of Atzilah; 
For until one can drink from the first cup, taking this Torah into themselves, they cannot partake of the cup of the pure Torah of YHVH: 
And here is a secret, the Torah of YHVH is Love; and this is the mystery of YHVH.

ONE

¶ The Torah is this: thou shall circumcise thy heart; do this that thou might live the Torah and know YHVH. 
¶ And this Torah is given in that the moment that the heart is pierced, and a soul is born unto YHVH, and Adam and Eve awaken inside of them, and they shall begin their journey back into Eden. 
If thou should obey the Torah, then thou art as the dog that doth follow his master home, and this is good. 
¶ Yea, YHVH seeks those that seek to see His face; for the children of man may know their Fathers and obey them or obey them not, 
But to know Aviad (the Eternal Father), mankind must do more than obey, mankind must seek His face if they are to know Him; 
Therefore, circumcise thy heart and know El Elyon, that Alohykm be with you. 
¶ Seek thou Wisdom, turning thy thought inward, opening up thy mind unto the light! 
Seek thou Knowledge, that thou shalt see all that leadeth mankind unto that light! 
The path to understanding is clear, the door is open unto all that shall circumcise their hearts, 
And the light of YHVH shall shine forth even as the sun breaks through the darkness each morning, growing in the sky to light up the creation. 
And this is the light and life of the world, it is the wisdom and knowledge from the heavens unto the earth. 
And this is the beginning of the creation of mankind, for it is that light that we shall follow to find our way home. 
¶ And in that day that I was given the Torah, there came an angel with a sword in his hands and a scroll in his mouth, and that angel did pierce my heart, and he fed the scroll unto me, saying: 
If thou will keep what is written upon this scroll then shall you be saved from the justice and given mercy in the strength of YHVH; 
But if thou are to burn it up, and eat it not, then at the ending shall the sword kill thee, for in it is the Torah of Assiah.

Chapter 15

The Teachings of the Torah of Olamot

Listen now, O Abraham: You are a choice seer and a prophet of YHVH, and thy wife, Sarah, an emissary of Alohykm; 
And I am now Kohen Gadol, the High Priest of YHVH, and I pass this Torah to you, and you shall be the Kohen Gadol (High Priest) and the Kohanot Gadolah (High Priestess) of El Elyon as I am to leave this plane. 
What then of this Torah of light? What doth their teachings mean? Behold, I say unto you that they are the way forward and backward; 
Yea, they are the straight path that is the eternal circle that is the eternal round of the growth of mankind as we enter Eden, then leave it again, only to return back when we are ready, YHVH be willing. 
¶ Know, Abraham and Sarah, that light and truth are your eternal heritage, that the darkness of this world is but a veil. 
Listen then to the voice of that wisdom that is freely given unto thee this day, that you shall know the mysteries, being the teachers of these things unto the world. 
All things are given in their order, and all things are given as they are due; therefore, I share with you this Torah, and in it are the four worlds: 
Olam Assiah is the first Torah, it is when YHVH hears our prayers; 
We are thrust out of the garden of Eden and El Elyon and Alohykm do see us, yet it is when our hearts are pierced that we finally feel the Breath of Alohykm. 
It is through the broken heart and the contrite spirit that we learn the first Torah, the Torah of the Earth, entering the first world, growing in and from the earth and her wisdom. 
And so it is the ministry of the first endowment to shepherd those that are born anew into Olam Assiah, for as mankind struggles upward, all must start breaking through the darkness and into the light. 
And thus is the soul born, sealed in the heart into a light eternal, and the veil begins to tear, and the blackness of night is broken by the stars of the morning as they move in their order, showing mankind the way. 
¶ Olam Yetsirah is the second Torah, where the first creation takes form as we are first born in truth, then in the second we must grow in truth. 
We have tasted of the fruit that cast us out of Eden, and we now must learn what we know: good from evil, and be washed clean by the waters of mercy. 
To aid us in our battle, the warriors of light are given the Torah of Covenant: YHVH teaches us the good that we do know to avoid the evil. 
And what is it that is good? It is the Torah of the Waters, we are washed clean in service to the creation; 
Yea, we speak unto Aviad, and we listen; yet though we are in the mercy of YHVH, we are not yet in the Presence. 
In this we learn who we are, for we are the servants of El Elyon, and we teach by our actions. 
¶ Olam Beriah is the third Torah, after we grow in truth we are able to keep ourselves the light, the very truth our souls are born from. 
Even as the light moves through the air, the knowledge of the creation unfolds within us, transforming our being and the knowledge from the very source and the darkness is extinguished. 
This is the Torah that has lifted mankind from the earth, for it is the Torah of Air, 
And rising into the air ye shall see all things new and old, and even the sun, the moon, and the stars shall be within thy reach. 
¶ Olam Atsiluth is the fourth Torah, where mankind is one again in the Presence of YHVH and the Alohykm. 
And here is the foundation of all things, and the harmony of all things, and the understanding of all things, and the crown of YHVH. 
Here the children of Alohykm are home, not to be lost in the light of El Elyon, but to be free in the love of YHVH. 
Here rests all wisdom, and all mercy, and all justice, and all knowledge; here thou shall find the victory and the splendor. 
Here shall those purified by the flame of the fire of Alohykm be welcomed home, knowing the truth of their heritage, the divine lineage of mankind, for it is the Torah of Fire. 
¶ And all that are born in the light, here upon the earth and learn of and become the living embodiments of this Torah and these four worlds learn the sacred truth: 
We become not but that which we always and eternally be. 
And this is truth divine, that when the heavens and the earth are one, a mirror of divine where the will of Alohykm is known and obeyed, then they keys will be held: 
The Priest and the Priestess that do prepare the earth for the coming of the heavens shall, through the will of YHVH, be in tune; 
And then shall the High Priest and the High Priestess, they themselves holding the keys, and with authority given them by YHVH Elohim, bring the heavens to the earth. 
¶ In this things are all things one, the working of the miracles being one with the knowing of the will of YHVH; 
And then shall the Father, the Sun, and the mother, the Moon, give birth to that earth that the Mother did carry in her belly, and that the Breath of Elohim did nourish. 
And then shall the earth be consumed in the fire of the justice of YHVH Alohykm, and the earth shall burn with fire even and as was once washed clean in the waters of the mercy of YHVH; 
And then shall YHVH claim this, the creation, as His own, for He is the very Creator of the heavens and the earth. 
¶ And how shall you, Abraham, and you, Sarah, obtain these keys? You shall walk, even as our fathers, Adam and Eve, did walk and were malau (filled or endowed) with power from on high: 
First through the doors of the four malau (the four endowments or the four worlds), then through each of the four doors of the four malau. 
The first of these would be the four malau of Tzedeq (Hebrew, peace; modern, Melchizedek) and Migdalah (Hebrew, tower; modern, Magdalene), as were given unto Adam and Eve; 
And this malau is of Tzedeq and Migdalah for it is the very peace brought to the earth from the heavens given to grow YHVH in the earth, for the earth is His footstool. 
¶ And before YHVH was nothing, for YHVH always ever was, and ever shall be; 
And YHVH is the Lord of Hosts, the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, and all that is above and all that is below; 
And all that is seen, and all that is unseen; and all that is ever heard, and all that which cannot be heard; 
And in YHVH all things are, ever were, and always will be; for YHVH is Truth, and YHVH is Light; and YHVH is Unity, and YHVH is All.

Chapter 16

The Threads of the Garments of Creation

(Compare to Chapter 13 of the Book of Remembrance)

And as I have told thee, YHVH did gather him up, that children of the light, even the Morning Stars, and they looked down upon the void; 
And so it was that the darkness was separated from darkness, and the earth was established that the children of Elohim might know of themselves truth. 
¶ And when our first parents were in their freedom, they at the first did submit to their temptations and were thrust out of the Presence of YHVH to be born, from the womb of Eden into the world of mankind. 
And before these were cast out, they were given the first malau—Adam of atzluth tzedeq and Eve of atzluth migdalah, which is one priesthood—that they should know and that they should be prepared. 
And these were washed and anointed, even as I have washed thee this day. 
¶ And when they were made clean and given them the robes of their priesthood, and with these their new names, YHVH did send unto them Raphael, that he should teach them; 
And these are the words of Raphael into Adam and Eve, and thus they are the words of YHVH unto you this day: 
¶ The root of the commandments of YHVH is love; and the love of YHVH is the thread of the Garments of the Priesthood. 
¶ Behold, thy ears have been anointed, that thou might hear the Word of YHVH: 
And the first thread of the Garments of the Priesthood is in harmony with the ears; thus, do not be deceived by hearing lies, nor hear the ending of the Word of YHVH. 
Straight is the path to YHVH Elohim, and all those who are upon the path shall hear the decrees. 
¶ Behold, thine eyes have been anointed, that thou might behold the glory of YHVH: 
And the second thread of the Garments of the Priesthood is in harmony with the eyes; thus, thou shall see by raising up the eyes. 
Do not let your eyes brim with tears, that after weeping they do not close; 
The eyes are as windows into the soul; speak one to another by the power of the eyes, lest ye forget the words seen; 
Yea, cast your eyes toward the salvation of YHVH and see that the eye of revelation is that of understanding, 
And in that understanding the Crown of Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh (Keter) shall be given thee; and it doth rest between the eyes. 
¶ Behold your noses have been anointed, that ye might smell the sweet offerings of YHVH: 
The third thread of the Garments of the Priesthood harmonizes with the nose. 
Do not let thy nose be irritated or excited by the sweet scent of idolatry, 
Neither should thou desire to keep the offerings given unto thee by YHVH to thyself; 
But rather, smell the sweet scents of the Sabbath, and other beautiful things of YHVH. 
¶ Behold thy mouth hath been anointed, that thou might speak forth praises unto YHVH: 
The fourth thread of the Garments of the Priesthood harmonizes with the mouth. 
Seek for patience; do not let your tongues speak words out of anger; 
Yea, do not labor to make an oath without the intent to keep it, for all oaths are written in the hearts of mankind; 
Therefore, keep thy oath that thy promises be sure. 
Do not deceive by words or speaking the name of YHVH in vain; do not make an oath speaking in falsehoods; and this that thy words be pure. 
Yea, perfection is of YHVH Elohim alone, all else are made perfect in YHVH; therefore, let Ruach HaKodesh be thy bridle. 
¶ Behold thy neck hath been anointed, that it should bear up thy head: 
Thus, the fifth thread of the Garments of the Priesthood harmonizes with the throat. 
Do not swallow any abominations, but do eat unleavened bread, which is to say, only in righteousness and moderation. 
¶ Behold, thy hands have been anointed, that they might be strong and wield the sword of justice in defense of truth and virtue: 
Thus, the sixth thread of the Garments of the Priesthood harmonizes with the hands. 
Do not lay thy hands in sin, do not steal, but do take hold of the Word of God; 
Yea, open the door of the house of YHVH Elohim with the hand and bind the signs and tokens by the means of it. 
¶ Behold, thy loins have been anointed, that thou might be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth, that thou may have joy in your posterity: 
Thus, the seventh thread of the Garments of the Priesthood harmonizes with the loins. 
Do not commit adultery, but to thy own house be true, and this that thou might have health in the navel, marrow in the bones, strength in the loins and in the sinews; 
And that the power in the Priesthood after the order of the Son of God should be upon you, and upon your posterity through all generations of time, and throughout all eternity. 
Therefore, be fruitful and multiply; have joy in thy posterity; 
Yea, do this and YHVH, thy Elohim, shall circumcise thy heart and the hearts of thy descendants. 
¶ Behold, thy feet hath been anointed, that they might be swift in the paths of righteousness and truth: 
And the eighth thread of the Garments of the Priesthood harmonizes with the feet. 
Thus, do not walk about after strange gods and thou shalt not stumble and fall; 
Yea, walk after YHVH Alohykm; journey by all paths, as commanded by YHVH Elohim, as spoken unto thee by Ruach HaKodesh; 
And watch thy feet as you walk to the house of YHVH Elohim, that thou shall do so in supplication before YHVH. 
¶ Mankind is to remember these eight threads for all time; let them be written in thy heart: 
Ears first, eyes second, nose third, mouth fourth, neck fifth, hands sixth, loins seventh, and feet eighth. 
Yea, do not sin by these, for the heart is with each. 
Behold, do consider therefore the thoughts of all that you shalt meet: 
Love thy neighbor as thyself, for to love one another is to love YHVH Elohim. 
Yea, do these and ye shall be blessed; So mote it be, Amen. 
¶ And these were the words unto Adam and Eve on the garments of the priesthood, and so too are they my words unto you, O Abraham and Sarah.

Chapter 17

The Torah and the Mitzvah of the Rabbi

(Compare to Chapter 15 of the Book of Remembrance)

And now I, Melchizedek shall impart unto you wisdom that thou will understand the first malau— 
Abraham of atzluth tzedeq and Sarah of atzluth migdalah, which is one priesthood after the order of the Son of Man— 
To give thee knowledge in these things that thou might have power in YHVH, in His Priesthood after the order of the Son of God. 
And once I have taught thee this, which I do give unto thee freely, so too shall thou impart of these things freely to the children of men; 
And this that they might have wisdom, that the light of YHVH should flow out, breaking free from that veil of light to destroy the darkness. 
But be thou humble in this wisdom, Abraham and Sarah, teach these things as a parable, that the ignorant might learn, and that the wise shall know; 
¶ And when they that are wise shall come before thee, listen unto them, and take heed, for this wisdom is in all; 
Hold not thy tongue when evil is spoken as truth yet keep thy peace and let that light shine above all, 
For truth shall come softly and carry with it the peace of YHVH or it is not truth. 
Wars and contention are the ways of our adversary, that bringer of confusion; yea, he doth wait in the darkness to devour. 
Fear not, they that overstep the Torah shall seek justice, and the justice of YHVH they shall find, it shall not be as well for them as they do imagine in the vanity of their hearts. 
¶ O Abraham! O Sarah! Will you learn from the wisdom of Raphael, who is Raziel, who is the healer of YHVH, and the keeper of the mysteries of Alohykm? 
For after Adam and Eve were given the first malau—Adam of assiah tzedeq and Eve of assiah migdalah, which is one priesthood—Raphael did teach them further, saying unto them: 
¶ The wise, they are blessed, they who by YHVH Elohim are given the mysteries of this, the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 
And the light of YHVH was given unto you that ye should teach all peoples the truth of YHVH; 
Yea, and this is the key and power of the Priesthood after the order of the Son of God; and behold, this is also the very cornerstone of His glory: 
And here is the secret word: YHVH. 
But the world has not yet learned the secret; yet the word is like milk and honey on the tongues of the righteous. 
Everything given of this creation is now yours to behold and to care for, YHVH hath given you dominion over them; do so in the name of YHVH. 
As you leave this garden, the Torah shall not be foreign unto you. 
¶ A commandment I give ye, grasp it freely yet not from myself, for as the mitsvah of YHVH: 
Get ye up when the sun is high up in the heat of the day and pray to that Elohim that did create you; 
And this ye shall do neither by commandment nor to give pleasure unto yourselves, but that you should learn the character of Ha’Elohim. 
¶ And as you, Adam, and you, Eve, were expelled from this paradise and from the presence of YHVH, but only for a short time, 
Ye are to turn away from all evil and walk in the path of righteousness, that by the grace of YHVH thou might see the face of Elohim again while upon this earth. 
Thus now I do tell thee: The greatest mystery is the sanctification of YHVH; 
And whoever is worthy shall go directly to this secret, and none shall be able to stop them, for they shall know. 
And therefore, do I say unto thee: Reveal the secrets of Alohykm only to those who serve YHVH; 
But there shall come a time when all shall know these mysteries; 
Yea, and every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess on the last day that the Son of Man doth reign over all things in the heavens and upon this earth. 
¶ Here is truth: There are three secrets that hide within the Torah, and all the mysteries do correspond to these three things. 
The first mitzvah is the first wisdom: Glory be unto YHVH; The glory of YHVH is the first secret to be unlocked. 
Yea, the beginning of wisdom is the glory of YHVH, which corresponds to three wisdoms: The outer wisdom, the inner wisdom, and the depth of wisdom. 
When thou leave this garden, thou shall build a house of wisdom, and the foundation of that house shall be the Glory of YHVH. 
The wise shall open their hearts to this secret. 
And know too that there are only three types of secrets: The secret of the path, the secret of beginnings, and the secret of the Torah of YHVH. 
And I say into you, and you shall say unto all those that will hear you, that these secrets may only be known by the grace of Elohim Shaddai. 
¶ To return unto Eden, and to bring the heavens unto the earth, thou must hear the three types of reverence: 
The first reverence doth glorify YHVH, and the second doth glorify the Ruach HaKodesh, and the third doth glorify the face of Aviad. 
Know too that to fear YHVH is to love Alohykm and to serve YHVH and His creation in love. 
Know ye not that mankind shall only find happiness in their creation by giving honor unto YHVH, who is the Creator? 
Therefore, the fear of Alohykm is fear of YHVH, the honor of Alohykm is the honor of YHVH, and the love of Alohykm is the love of YHVH. 
And all this must be done in love; seek love in thy hearts, write love in thy hearts, and you will keep this Torah; 
For this is the whole Torah, yea, this is the fullness of truth: Thou shalt love YHVH, thy Elohim and honor Him. 
Yea, glorify Aviad that thou not fall into the temptation as did Lilith, for it is not permissible for mankind to serve Alohykm in temptation. 
Stand ye in the name of Yachad Yachid Echad! See that He descends from above! 
And it is written upon the pillars in heaven: Mankind is beloved; so it is that to love YHVH is to love thy neighbors. 
Ruach HaKodesh, the breath of YHVH, will speak unto thee as thou walk the paths outside this garden, and shall guide thy children, even those who do obey Him; 
Therefore, you will learn to respect Alohykm, only then will you know how to love. 
¶ Know too that mankind is not want to listen to foreign council: 
Yea, mankind shall sing praises unto YHVH with ease, but will they know Him? 
Therefore, respect the Creator of the heavens and earth all your life that as thou should know Him, thy seed too shall know YHVH. 
Yea, write the love of YHVH in thy hearts, and carry with you always the fear of YHVH, Lord of the Hosts of Heaven, in your hearts. 
Yea, this love is in reverence, and this reverence is the purity of YHVH. 
¶ And I say unto thee: All they who show reverence is favored by YHVH; 
Yea, they who reverence the Creator and they who reverence this the creation; and more bless shall be all they who shall reverence both the Creator and His creation! 
And all shall know these as their spirits shall be pure, having given birth to Nephesh. 
Rejoice, therefore, in the Glory of the light of YHVH! 
¶ Thou hast been born from darkness into that true light, and thou have been separated from those who are yet lost. 
And the time soon cometh that the light shall shine unto thee from the waters that thou shall honor the Elohim that did speak unto thee in this garden: 
And that honor is the love, and with love comes the reverence, and from the reverence comes understanding; 
And this I say unto thee: This love shall grow thousands upon thousands of generations, even to the quickening of every soul; even so, Amen.

Chapter 18

The Torah and the Mitzvah of the Kohen and Kohanot

(Compare to Chapter 17 of the Book of Remembrance)

And now, Abraham, father, and Sarah, mother, thou hast received the second malau— 
Abraham of beri'ah tzedeq and Sarah of beri'ah migdalah, which is one priesthood after the order of the Son of Man— 
Therefore; tame thine heart that thy heart might guide thee on thy journey. 
When YHVH, El Elyon, should bless thee, and YHVH shall indeed bless thee more than He hath already blessed thee, let not thine ears be weary. 
¶ The things of this creation are a blessing unto the servants of YHVH yet will be as a dark veil that doth cover the eyes of all they that love this creation more than the Creator. 
Let thy heart guide thee and make thy way straight! Listen to the Voice that thou should not be taken off that straight path. 
They that are lost amongst the children of men may still find their way, if they will but seek the heart for counsel. 
¶ The love of the Creator is written upon the hearts of they who serve YHVH, let thine heart be open, listen more than thou doth speak, give honor to all they that seek it, honoring them just below YHVH, but seek not for honor to own. 
Be known for thy gentle ways, seek to know all they that come seeking thy wisdom, 
Struggle with all they that seek thy guidance and prepare the earth for the coming of YHVH to the earth. 
¶ Know that the sacrifice given unto YHVH is to be received by those in need, waste not that which thou hath been given that it profiteth not the poor and the needy. 
Remember the widow and the fatherless child, they are given into thy care, forgive them and forget them not: 
And in this thou shall prepare the earth for the coming of YHVH. 
¶ And when Adam and Eve were given the second malau, being ordained Kohen and Kohanot, YHVH sent unto them the voice of instruction from Raphael, 
And Adam and Eve were taught about the offerings in sacrifices given for YHVH, saying: 
¶ There are three types of mercy: the offering of ascension, the offering of thanksgiving, and the offering of purification. 
Justice is also divided thus into three categories: Celestial love, Terrestrial prayer, and Telestial honor (or reverence). 
And the offering of ascension corresponds to love, for these are given to feed the creation. 
And the offering of thanksgiving is like unto a petition to the heavens, given in an abundance of joy and in gratitude towards Alohykm. 
The offering of purification is the atonement, even as a symbol of Yachad Yachid Echad, who should be die by those whom He doth love. 
Both the offering of thanksgiving and the offering of purification are given to aid and strengthen the living body; express this love in thy prayers and pray in devotion. 
Serve YHVH out of love and charity, and in the offering of ascension thou shalt give honor and respect to the kingdoms of Elohim, the bodies Celestial, the bodies Terrestrial and the bodies Telestial—even those of the sun, and the moon, and the stars. 
¶ YHVH did not create the world with hands, but by His Word did He create all things, and this because of His infinite wisdom and His infinite glory. 
YHVH is great in wisdom, knowing all, and infinite in mercy, loving all, and infinite in righteousness. 
YHVH Elohim keepeth all things, filleth the upper and lower worlds, for that which is created in the upper worlds gives birth to all things. 
YHVH, in wisdom, reveals to mankind the secrets of the creation, giving unto mankind the knowledge of good and evil to all those who eat of the fruits of that tree. 
And now YHVH doth look out at His creation and the desolation of this world, yet he doth not repent for wickedness is not in Him. 
¶ Behold, all blessings come to the righteous, they who love YHVH; therefore, sing His praises and glorify His name, for His deeds are great and mighty! 
The offering of ascension is sacrifice by petition; therefore, give unto those in need out from the Holy Place: 
That place is blessed and will be the temple of YHVH until Yachid Yachid Echad comes. 
When you are worshiping YHVH, your Elohim, I will bring death and healing by the will of Ruach HaKodesh, 
And with your voice and your prayers you will be born anew in the piercing of thy heart, born of the broken heart and a contrite spirit. 
Yea, pray for all good things, that they may give birth to Nephesh, breathing new life into the mortal body. 
This is the very foundation of wisdom and knowledge: From wisdom, from mercy, from knowledge, from judgment; 
And these do speak one to another for understanding is only the crown of mankind, the light of day will come to dispel the darkness. 
¶ Let the light heal her, for she is the Elah Asyma, the Shekinah, the Ashurah of YHVH; 
She will conceive and give birth to a son, even the Son of Man; and his heart will be pierced, and he will stand firm before Alohykm. 
If ye will be triumphant in the service of YHVH, thou shalt leave all wealth, honor and the things of this world behind for the sake of Alohykm. 
Pray ye now unto YHVH as a true Kohen and a Kohanot of YHVH, and offer unto Him sacrifices in thanksgiving. 
¶ Honor and serve YHVH with great fear, to this that mankind might be saved from the curse of the earth where ye do live. 
For what is the punishment from Eden, which is this sanctuary? I say into thee that it can be a blessing. 
And thou shall see that Eden, she is longer than the earth and wider than the sea! 
Do not cry out in pain, but seek relief from the grief, the hurt and the pain of this separation. 
¶ Do not buy that which is sold unto thee by foreigners, nor make praises to the elohim created by the hands of men. 
¶ Do not come to death willingly, yea, do not speak evil; but fill thy days with good and the blessings of the creation of YHVH. 
Because thou know YHVH, and you have tasted of the goodness of YHVH, it is given unto you to save others from suffering, misery, destruction; yea, even fire and that burden of sin. 
Once outside the garden, the wicked are prepared for judgment and question it not; so mote it be. 
¶ Honor YHVH, worship Him, give thy offering of purification and teach thy sons and thy daughters in the ways of Alohykm. 
Make the these three offerings, the offering of ascension, the offering of thanksgiving, and the offering of purification in thy temples, making these with love, prayer and honor unto YHVH. 
¶ The beginning of wisdom is to fear YHVH and the love of Alohykm; therefore, love thy neighbor as yourself, and love YHVH thy Elohim. 
When strength denied you and thou found that mercy in YHVH, thy righteous hearts burned like fire; 
Therefore, fear YHVH and keep thy mitsvoth, pouring onto YHVH thy honor and thy love. 
From honor and love came the great flame; yea, everything was created by the Word, born of the love of YHVH. 
¶ Behold, thou shall worship Elohim Shaddai: Thou shalt honor YHVH by keeping all the Torah, and to keep His Torah, thou shall obey the Torah of love. 
Cry out in supplication and hall down in worship before El Elyon! 
Soften thy heart and accept YHVH without delay. 
¶ Avoid all evil, yet blame not the sinners; yea, thou shalt teach them the truth of YHVH; 
For those who despise the honor of El Elyon, know that it is the judgment of Alohykm to deny mercy to sin: 
All they with ears to hear will listen to these words and understand them. 
¶ Now I command thee to teach thy children to refuse that which is evil, not cultivating evil in their hearts; 
Yea, and do teach them to neglect their own desires, but to glorify the name of El Eyyon. 
¶ Look and see, thy house is set in the middle, between the blades of that double edged sword. 
The Humble will pay their respects as they gather within their homes; there they shall stand before Shekinah (the Presence) and serve YHVH. 
Honor YHVH, thy Elohim, in thy prayers and thou shalt find peace in thy meditations and Ha’Elohim shall save thee from all evil. 
Hide thyself in the light of the knowledge of Elohim, living in the temple of El Elyon. 
¶ Ask YHVH to save thee from the trap that doeth lead many of the children of men astray. 
Return to YHVH in prayer, saying: YHVH, hear the words that come forth from out of my mouth, save us from the snare of those that lie in wait to deceive us! 
Know that all they that pray unto El Eyon do so truly seeking the blessings of Abba Aviad Avinu and Malkath ha’Shamayim; 
Therefor, by the grace of YHVH El Elyon I do say unto you: Go forth and multiply. 
¶ Elohim Shaddai sees the evil ones and will punish them in His time; therefore, be silent about those who do not seek the wisdom of YHVH: 
Come from the secret that Abba Aviad Avinu and Malkath ha’Shamayim doth reveal unto you; so mote it be, Amen.

Chapter 19

The Torah and the Mitzvah of the Zaqunot

(Compare to Chapter 19 of the Book of Remembrance)

The light that is separated from the darkness, that the earth might be formed, this light is the knowledge of YHVH, and the darkness pride that sees that light as foolishness. 
In their ignorance, the light proveth to harm those living in death; therefore death is their food and sheol becomes them. 
Those wise in the wisdom of YHVH, let that light of YHVH overflow from their pierced heart that it should flood the earth; yet the mouth is kept silent. 
¶ O Abraham, O Sarah! Listen to that light as it pours through thee, for in it lay the mysteries of the creation, as thou prepare to break this world free from the bonds of darkness! 
And having received the third malau—Abraham of yetzirah tzedeq and Sarah of yetzirah migdalah, which is one priesthood after the order of the Son of Man— 
Thou was at the first and there ye were give the keys to prepare this earth for the coming of the heavens, and now thou hast been prepared! 
Now the keys have been given to you both, that ye should break this world from the bonds of darkness, 
That the matter and spirit be one, that the heavens be brought to the earth to heal this creation. 
¶ Even as the water of the mercy of YHVH doth pour down from the heavens to heal the earth, and doth ascend back into the heavens that this creation might be healed in that great mercy, 
So too doth the fire of Alohykm pour down from the heavens to cleanse the earth, and doth ascend back into the heavens that this creation might be cleansed in that great judgment. 
This fire is the light of YHVH, it doth pour out through the inner vessel that is the heart, 
And it overcometh all this, and it doth penetrate all things, and it doth overcometh all things. 
Now, open thine eyes to see that vision of YHVH prepared for thee. 
¶ Remember, remember, Abraham and Sarah, even as Raphael said unto our first parents: 
Think of Elohim Shaddai and Shiloh, Yachad Yachid Echad, He that should be sent into the world. 
This is to honor He whose name guards and protects against whispering spirits and familiar spirits; 
Yea, thou doth live under the protection of YHVH; therefore, pray at that time that the name YHVH will be written on the hearts of the people: 
Pray ye that the hearts of the servants of YHVH shall pick up that rod of iron, taking the Word of YHVH into their hearts, 
To remember that holy name, that they would drive away those whispering spirits and those familiar spirits in the name of YHVH. 
¶ Praise God in thy prayers; yea, give thanks to the ruler of the heavens, praise the Elect of the Alohykm while thou art here upon the earth, 
For it was written before the world was made: If the sons and daughters of Elohim are sent from heavens to earth, in glory will those that remember YHVH return to their Creator. 
¶ Write thy prayers in glorious letters with the flame of fire in thy heart, and restore her to her former glory, saith YHVH; 
Therefore, by means of the nine Sefirot, one can find the crown upon the Mount of Elohim, in the House of Prayer, even the House of YHVH. 
Bind thy thoughts to the crown and tie thy heart to the sky, for even as the judgment is the fire of heaven, by Ruach HaKodesh thou will create fire, 
And you will see the fire in it, and you will feel this fire burning in thy heart; 
Therefore, in the house of YHVH, fire is brought by that angel of fire, that thou should know that YHVH doth exist. 
Take now all that thou hath learned this day and ponder it, that on the morrow thou should teach it unto the world; even so, Amen.

Chapter 20

The Torah and the Mitzvah of the Kohen Gadol and Kohanot Gadolah

(Compare to Chapter 20 of the Book of Remembrance)

Hear me speak, O Abraham, and thou, O Sarah! Thou hath been gifted with the fourth malau— 
Abraham of assiah tzedeq and Sarah of assiah migdalah, which is one priesthood after the order of the Son of Man— 
And with this thou hath been given the first of the four endowments of the Torah of Olamot. 
Remember these words, O Abraham, and thou too, O Sarah! For now, at last, I shall share unto thee, each one of these, the words of Raphael unto Adam and Eve, 
¶ And after that they did receive their fourth endowment; 
And Raphael did speak again unto Adam and unto Eve, and he did say unto them (and thus do I say unto you): 
¶ The Voice teaches also that Nephesh has three branches corresponding to the three names of YHVH, and that the soul is placed above the temple. 
The covering of the throne of glory is even as a cherub in flight; therefore, let thy soul be lifted up like a cherub: 
And know too that Ha’Elohim doth appear as the Son of Man, and even the rushing waters do sing His praises unto YHVH. 
And the song is this: YHVH doth reign, for ever and ever! 
Therefore, according to the written truth, honor belongs to mankind. 
Yea, YHVH, even the Lord of Hosts, doth give the truth of Alohykm and of Ha’Elohim to the children of Elohim; therefore, give the truth to all mankind. 
¶ Close thine eyes! Look not at the carvings! For therein lies that daughter of Lilith, and she is tormented by the virgins and the mothers; 
Therefore, the people will multiply and shall spread the Torah, but they will not know the Torah: judge them not in harshness, for they know not that which they do. 
¶ And what of those that shall worship dumb idols made by the hands of men? 
Do not laugh, for even as the finger of YHVH did create you, O man, so too did the hands of man create the images cut from wood and stone; 
Yet see that YHVH doth carve mankind out of the dust and breathe life into them! 
But when a man doth put his finger into the mud and breathe his breath upon it, life doth not come; the great name of YHVH hath His holy symbols. 
And the sign is this: man cannot bring life, but when the son of Adam doth marry the daughter of Eve, and the son of Eve doth marry the daughter of Adam, then life shall come in the new breath. 
And so it is that Adam doth seek a helpmate, and Eve doth take him in and make him her own; and this that truth might be found within. 
¶ Gather thou up twelve righteous and pray together as one in the name of YHVH; 
Do this in each of the three stages and continue on and share one with another as ye do forth in the name of YHVH. 
Truth is written in the names of Alohykm; use the power of the names by their seals while they live; 
Yea, the seals are drawn both above and below, for the names do dwell in the in that temple residing in the fourth heaven. 
The heavens and the earth must be one, for both are the creation and exist by the Word of YHVH. 
¶ And this holy tabernacle (or intelligence) hath four coverings: the first covering was the spirit; the second covering is the skin, the third covering Nephesh; and the fourth shall be a white skin, resembling the purity of YHVH. 
They who do hear will understand, and they will be blessed with wisdom in the name YHVH; so mote it be, Amen.

Chapter 21

The Wisdom of Raphael who is Raziel

(Compare to Chapters 22-24:11 of the Book of Remembrance)

And I, Melchizedek, give unto thee my wisdom, that you should know: 
Each of the four malau (endowments) is in its part, four malau: two of the heavens and two of the earth. 
This first that thou hast received is that of the spring that shall lead thee into the summer, and it is for planting; 
The second is of the summer and it is for growth, and the third in the autumn and is for the harvest; 
The fourth is for the winter, and if thou art prepared, thou shalt live to see the spring, and if thou are not prepared, then thou shall die and be born again in that spring. 
Praise YHVH for His mighty hand, yea, praise Alohykm, even as Adam and Eve did walked earth with Ha’Elohim. 
In the first of the Olamot, thou doth come out as a fire, burning brightly thought the night, 
To take that light of the creator and be a beacon for those lost to the mists of darkness. 
If thou should look to thine own wisdom, thou shalt fall as men, but if thou should harken unto the wisdom of Alohykm, thou shall live in the mercy of YHVH. 
¶ Remember the words of Raphael, hear me and I shall teach thee what Adam and Eve did hear from Raziel in their old age: 
In the world below the heavens, below that veil of light, the offering of ascension is cast upon the altar, opening the door of generosity and humility through which all must pass. 
As the Kohen Gadolim and the Kohen Gadolot, ye shall teach with commitment and humility. 
Yea, this sacrifice purifies all, submitting to the fires of judgment, and dries up sins in that fire; 
Therefore, it is similar to the washing in mercy, the resurrection of the dead. 
The judgment of YHVH is as dry as a fire, strong in heat, a true passion without anger or rage; 
Therefore, when thou doth look out upon the sky and read it, taking in the anger of YHVH, 
Remember that Alohykm wants us to give unto others, even as YHVH doth give, and in such a way that it is that He, YHVH, be glorified. 
¶ Clean out thy dust and ashes as thou travail through the ten trials, you presented the ashes unto YHVH in prayer. 
YHVH, the Creator of heaven and earth, reigns, therefore wear thy crown as His child. 
YHVH shall create for thee a beautiful throne and thou shalt be in His glory in the house of the age to come. 
¶ And the Alohykm hath given thee almah (a virgin), which is the true joy of thy worship; therefore, know that the perfection of YHVH is not lost to mankind; 
Yea, stand up according to the Voice, take heed unto El Elyon, and thou will be washed clean. 
Yea, thou art made in perfection, but not by thy own power, for none cleans thee (almah) but YHVH; 
Therefore, when the wicked seeds of mankind are planted within thy heart, cast them to the side and plant in their place the seeds of YHVH to perfection. 
And let this be thy faith: Love thy enemies, gift of thy treasure unto those who curse thee, do good to all they who hate thee, and pray earnestly for those who seek to take thy goods or thy life; 
Do this that the world might know that thou be the child of YHVH, the Creator, even El Elyon who reigneth over the heavens. 
And as the Kohen Gadolim and the Kohen Gadolot, ye shall preach and teach by the Breath of YHVH unto mankind. 
¶ Yea, and know this: That perfection hath two paths; justice to the left and mercy to the right; 
Even as the man doth give, and the woman shall receive that which he doth offer in righteousness, and in this shall thou live in balance. 
YHVH doth see Adam as they are, with hands raised toward the skys; yet the Voice seeks to live in the heart. 
When Adam doth receive the Voice as a seed to pierce the heart, Adam is that temple of the Breath (Ruach HaKodesh), 
For even as Adam doth seek that Elohim that did gift him life, so too doth YHVH seek Adam, for mankind is His creation. 
¶ Every woman (Eve) shall be given the ten trials, after that Nephesh is born within, and the new name is written upon earth and in the heavens, 
Hear with thine ears when the angel of YHVH doth speak, saying: The glory of the world is as great as its depth. East, West, North, South. 
¶ O, how wonderous is the light of YHVH! The light that doth destroy the darkness, breaking through that veil! 
And this is the name of our Elohim: ONE (UNITY); for as it is above, so it is below, on earth, as in the heaven, and as below, so above. 
The seal was given by YHVH even before the creation unto those who were given their authority, the teachers, and the priests and priestesses, and the blessed elders, and the high priests and the high priestesses: 
And through constant change in degrees, mankind is renewed by YHVH in teshuvah to returns to that highest of the heavens. 
¶ The opening is here upon the earth; pass through the gates to know the mystery of being and return to the Alohykm that sent thee fourth. 
And the gate has a key, and the key is the power of YHVH; and here is that key: 
Aviad (the Father) is to the East; listen and heed His voice and revelation shall pour out unto thee; 
And YHVH is to the West placing the sealing power into the hands of mankind, as YHVH shall give unto thee from time to time; 
And Asyma (the Mother) is to the North in wisdom rest and renewal is with thee. 
The breath, Ruach HaKodesh is to the South, from whence comes the fire of purification. 
¶ The light of all things appears as a veil above the creation, and below in the abyss darkness covers all that is created: 
YHVH is in all and is all; therefore bow down to all; yea, arise and give thanks in thy heart when thou worship YHVH. 
¶ Here be glory to YHVH! Offer the offering of ascension in love, lift thyself up in honor to Elohim Shaddai. 
Behold, contempt doth not serve YHVH; the fat and blood is to be burnt up and discarded as a peace offering, 
The rest is to be given as food to any in need of substance in the name of YHVH that peace might be offered unto the world. 
¶ Serve and strengthen thy body with love and prayer, bringing the light of the Torah unto mankind; 
For from the Torah of YHVH comes honor and wisdom; yea, honoring and serving Alohykm is the foundation of that house; 
Therefore, do not deprive thyself of the food from that offering, great love comes from prayer and prayer comes from thy honor unto YHVH. 
¶ I share with thee a blessing of love and have shared with thee the mysteries of the holy priesthood after the order of the Son of Man all throughout thy life. 
As the Kohen and Kohanot thou art one and ye art a holy people, wisely in thy obey the mitzvoth of YHVH, and in praise unto YHVH forever. 
¶ And now, I do say unto thee: This is the wisdom of YHVH Elohim, teach thy people to teach the world in the name of YHVH; 
Fight against pride and sin not with hate in thy heart, but in praise unto YHVH in prayer; 
Yea, without His portion given unto thee, thy enemies will destroy this land and overtake all its inhabitants. 
¶ YHVH, the Elohim, King of kings of kings, sees in all directions; East to West, North to South, from the heavens above unto the abyss beneath, into thy heart, and in every way; 
See now that you are not alone, because YHVH is everywhere: He sees good and bad within; therefore glorify YHVH in His righteousness, 
Yea, bring the people of Alohykm together in YHVH, that they will not be separated; do this that they should do the work of the heavens; so mote it be.

Chapter 22

The Knowledge of Raphael who is Raziel

(Compare to Chapters 24:12-40 of the Book of Remembrance)

Behold, every path is blessed by Alohykm; therefore, strengthen thy heart to please YHVH. 
The heart is eternal because it is thy inheritance; they who follow the path will understand that all good things come from Allah. 
¶ Evil will come from that devil, the adversary who tempted you in the garden; that Satan is the enemy of truth; 
Thou shalt strive to always preach and fight that Satan because the devil will always encourage you and tempt you to sin and do evil. 
¶ Truth comes from YHVH; Ruach HaKodesh, the Voice, shall always call and inspire mankind for good; 
Therefore, thou must know that anything that teaches people to honor YHVH, to do good, to love Elohim and to serve El Elyon, is from Alohykm who sent you. 
¶ Take the time to thank El Elyon! YHVH commanded mankind to unite and set out on the path each day, never ceasing. 
The sinner, the thief, or the adulterer, they who are blind to the light of YHVH, the wisdom of YHVH, 
These are they who know not how to approach the Presence of Elohim in any of the dwellings of His wisdom. 
¶ Remember, O man: The wisdom of YHVH who created the Torah, the reward is love; yea, worship YHVH a little and you will worship Him often. 
Mankind should never ponder to abandon the will of YHVH, but stand before the Judge of the world, for thy tongue will be tried. 
When mankind sees clearly, he knows that Satan rules over sorcerers and necromancers, these are the deceivers who only know the wisdom of this world; 
Because they practice that priestcraft—the work of Satan, or works based on knowledge of Lilith and the signs of her leviathan; 
Therefore, it is clear for those who serve Satan, that they cannot be trusted, for they are liars and deceivers, that they appear to know everything yet know nothing of YHVH, 
Go not blind to thyself therefore with evil spells, lest you be condemned because of those who deny YHVH, the Creator. 
¶ YHVH did give life to the heart of mankind; therefore, open thy heart to all and respect all that doth live in the creation. 
Know thou how to pray to the Lord of Judges, for YHVH is Lord above all; yea, say these words to end the dreams that are this work, to awaken in truth. 
The impure do not rise to know YHVH, that Elohim who did create them, that they might know when to be ashamed in guilt, and say: 
I have sinned, lied, spoken, or written, lest I should put myself before thy eyes. 
¶ Let YHVH clean thy sorrow in His mercy by meditating on the goodness of YHVH each time thou doth pray, by searching thy heart as thou doth bow down in prayer; 
Yea, seek the perfection of YHVH, keep His mitzvoth and respect all life here in the creation. 
Do not measure thy righteousness by thy deeds, neither by that which thou should do nor by what thou didst before; 
To do this is to be judged by every word thou shalt write and every act of grace thou might perform. 
¶ Know that thy honor unto YHVH doth make thee whole; thy prayer is joy in the love of YHVH is what maketh thee whole; 
Yea, rejoice in thy prayers unto YHVH; do this and thou art loved and protected. 
Behold, it is from that source of light, even YHVH who did give unto thee His Torah that the deepest of knowledge, all the words and deeds of all the creation, that is the mercy of the Creator; even so, Amen. 
¶ And what is this light that Raphael that is Raziel doth speak of? It is the fire that burneth through the day and night, that fire that can never be quenched by any veil of darkness. 
It is that very light that burns by the wisdom of YHVH into the hearts of men and women of His creation. 
O Abraham! O Sarah! Harken and listen, for here is wisdom: All things are given a name and names, 
And to all things is form given in every age, every day, every hour, and every minute of the eternal creation; 
Only intelligence is invisible, for it is an eternal force that has always lived, never to be born, and never to taste death. 
The temples in which thou doth dwelleth must be formed eternal; therefore thy form that is an age be thy spirit given thee for it hath a beginning with no end’ 
And thy form now, even this flesh, it shall be with thee for but a day then night shall come and it shall pass; 
But when thy soul (Nephesh) is born, that age and that day shall be on in that very hour, 
Yea, thou shalt be made whole in thy restitution unto YHVH in that very minute, yet night shall yet come unto thee of the flesh: 
¶ But fear not, O Abraham, nor thee Sarah, for thou art one flesh; yea, thou art one in YHVH; 
Therefore, in the resurrection thou shall be made whole again, never to die again, 
Always to be of one mind and one heart, invisible and visible, and infinite light of radiance bearing eternal testimony to the truth of YHVH. 
¶ Mankind is even as a star that has fallen, bound to this creation that they should feed on the struggle of this world; 
But that star is a fire that burns by the breath of YHVH into the darkness when thou should take upon thyself new life as thou art a new creation of YHVH. 
And out of that struggle shall the tree grow and blossom up out of thy heart, and the fruit of that tree, it does taste sweeter than honey! 
Therefore, by the Torah doth life exist, and by YHVH that Torah; therefore seek thou not anything of this creation that is not that Torah; 
That Torah hath been given in every age that mankind should know that Alohykm that did create them; 
Therefore, awaken, O Abraham! Awaken, O Sarah! and eat of that tree, for thou art free to eat of its wisdom as thou art no longer Adam, nor art thou Eve that it should be forbidden thee; 
See, therefore, that which was once hidden, and it shall be given thee, listen to that Voice and be thou wise in the things of YHVH.

Chapter 23

The Eight Tasks

(Compare to Chapters 25-26 of the Book of Remembrance)

Know thou Abraham, and thou Sarah, that these new names, given thee of YHVH, are the names of thy soul; 
These are the names hidden in mysteries for mankind, in the temple of YHVH, which is thy heart. 
Therefore, reach to the heavens, for I have set thee apart as the Kohen Gadol and Kohanot Gadolah of this generation; 
Therefore speak for me, Melchizedek, the great Kohen Gadol of YHVH, El Elyon, in this age; 
And even as I have been called and set apart, thou too hath been called and set apart; and thou art one in the name of YHVH. 
¶ Behold eight tasks shall I give unto thee, and these are even the same tasks that Raphael did give unto our fathers, Adam and Eve, to teach thy people to do, and each in their proper order: 
First, begin thy rituals in prayer. 
Second, rehearse unto all the proclamations of the Word of El Elyon. 
Third, open thy heart to hear and to feel that thou might learn and be blessed. 
Fourth, place oils and flowers pleasing to the nose upon thy altar to welcome YHVH into thy midst. 
Fifth, keep thy body clean that thy hands might give in righteousness. 
Sixth, consecrate upon the altar in supplication before Alohykm. 
Seventh, renew thy covenants that the body, mind, and spirit might be renewed therein. 
Eight, thy feet walk into the tabernacle, yea the house of study and even the house of prayer. 
And I say unto thee: Complete these that thou mayest return into the world of mankind in the perfection of YHVH. 
¶ Behold, to honor YHVH is the foundation, for it is giving up thy desire of self (egoism); 
Do not praise YHVH for the sake of this world or in pretending to earn eternal glory, no; grace has saved thee, and thy work shall be as a sign unto this world. 
When the Torah is in thy hands, read it that it should be in thy heart, and once the Torah is in thy heart it shall change thy actions; 
And this because by thy actions shall be pour out light of the mercy of YHVH, 
And thy heart shall be revealed and the light of YHVH shall be given unto others that their hearts might be changed also. 
¶ Was this knowledge hidden in the womb because Alohykm was afraid to reveal these secrets? 
I shall tell thee truthfully that thou not be lead into temptation; for every work alone is death, otherwise how can mankind find truth? 
Study also the letters that they should proclaim the Torah unto you, and teach your children also, that they may gain knowledge when they are young. 
The Torah shall be written in the heart, for it is filled with all thy mitzvoth; to overcome the body, conquer thy heart (mind) and body; know that YHVH is. 
¶ Yea, give YHVH all glory, and I say unto thee again: Go now and serve YHVH with love, 
Believe with love, and teach with love, and you will be called the children of Alohykm; so mote it be! 
¶ Keep thy mitzvoth in secret, walking with Ha’Elohim, and in keeping thy mitzvoth, do thus not in pride, but in secret— 
Alohykm sees what thou doeth in thy hidden chambers that thou should be rewarded; 
Therefore, pray alone, and when you pray, put on the garments of righteousness before Alohykm. 
¶ Behold, when mankind shall ask thee: What of justice? For thou art righteous according to the Torah of YHVH; keep the love of YHVH in thy heart, showing honor to YHVH; 
Rejoice before Elohim, speak in honesty and wisdom; tremble in the Presence of Elohim, giving thy heart only to YHVH. 
Do not present the truth to mankind only to save thy face before them, thou hast taken the oath; therefore, speak truth boldly for the sake of YHVH, thy Elohim. 
¶ Know too that everything created by human hands will disappear, all idols are in vain; 
Therefore, let all thy deeds be of the heavens and not of the earth, that thou should obtain light from YHVH. 
Remember that the secret is to honor YHVH Alohykm; everything was created to be known, understood, and to grant wisdom unto mankind: 
Offer no evidence for truth, for truth is its own witness. 
¶ Now, I say unto thee: Take these words and write these things in a book, reveal the secrets, and reveal the power of the Son of Man that did create the universe; 
Mankind doth love to learn secrets, and the greatest of secrets if thus: Glorify YHVH and let Ruach HaKodesh dwell in thy temple. 
Come now and write these truths from the above on thy door that thou should know the oneness of YHVH. 
Keep the glory of YHVH in thy heart; yea, worship Him alone for He is one and not two: Blessed be YHVH Elohim— 
¶ YHVH is the first and the last, YHVH is the Creator of the earth, there is no Elohim before nor after Him; 
His is the first covenant, yea, the first word written even before the creation of the world. 
YHVH doth rise first, and He speaks with a loud voice, for when the morning star fell at the end of his glory, seeking to be exalted above El Elyon, he did see that nothing could stand against Him: 
YHVH alone is the beginning and the end; the Great Creator of the universe, even that which is beyond this world, and there is no end to His power. 
¶ Know that in the temple, Alohykm wrote the creation of all things; it is written in the Holy of Holies in the first heaven. 
Through the gate, between at veil of darkness and that veil of light, humanity must choose their path: 
To descends into the chaos of the abyss, serving in chaos, or to rise and climb up and bring that light of YHVH to cleans this, the earth. 
YHVH Elohim did give unto mankind two temples, that is, Ruach HaKodesh dwells in mankind and mankind doth rejoice to dwell in the house of Alohykm, the sanctuary of YHVH. 
Remember too that destruction is creation; therefore, there shall be those who did live in that first kingdom only to perish in the second kingdom. 
¶ Everything created by YHVH was created in pairs: two worlds, heaven and earth, all enter the Garden of Eden; their paths are lit by the sun and the moon; 
Therefore, humanity, although glorified by the Son of Man, will perish, be reborn, and fall, otherwise He alone would be left in the kingdom; so mote it be, Amen. 
¶ And now do I say unto thee, Abraham and unto thee, Sarah: Reach up unto the heavens eternally, 
For thou art of that High Priesthood after the order of the Son of Man, and pull yonder heavens down here, unto this, the earth; 
Cast thy thoughts always upward, unto that light of YHVH, which is life eternal. 
Thou hast been given the keys, and the light that thou should see that path; 
Therefore, seek thee the wisdom of Shekinah, turn thy thoughts unto thy heart that thy heart should be not closed unto that light. 
Understand the symbols and the numbers that thy path should be clear, that thou should break past the veil of light that lieth between the earth and the heavens. 
Pour that flame of the sun that the darkness should be shattered and live this day!

Chapter 24

The Seven Days

(Compare to Chapters 27 of the Book of Remembrance)

And now, I say unto thee, Abraham, and unto thee, Sarah: Take heed! Every Adam and every Eve doth have seven parts, even as the seven days of thy creation; 
These days are the path that lead all of mankind unto that light of YHVH and the Alohykm by way of Ruach HaKodesh; 
Therefore, take heed and listen that thou might live forever, a child of Alohykm thou art and shall be. 
Even as a child, looking up at the night sky, did I wonder, sinking deeply into the mysteries of El Elyon, dreaming in my heart. 
And as my heart did grow, I learned to walk in that pathway of the stars, for that night sky is but a reflection of the things of this earth; 
Yea, and it is even as such: as above, so below, as below so above, for that which is above was made first in its creation; therefore, is like to that which is below: 
But the things of this world, they have been corrupted, and though they do mirror and that which is above, 
It is by the grace of YHVH that that which is below shall be even as that which is above. 
¶ And thus do we have the seasons, that mankind should learn the night sky, and all seasons, and each of the months, and of the Sabbaths, they are of YHVH and all but a reflection of that which is above; 
Therefore, all that I should teach you, and all that thou should make know unto thy children, and they unto their children’s children, are the rituals celestial. 
And the year doth begin in the spring, and so too doth these first four malau that I have given unto thee. 
Behold, the washing and anointing are given that thou should be clean after thou has been ordained, that thy exodus from death and sin, even that death should pass over thee. 
And this should be observed on the first new moon of the spring, and the first full moon observed also, as this is thy first month in teshuvah. 
And when it shall be that the year hath passed, thou shall look and see; if thou has done wisely, it shall be observed that growth in degrees given thee of YHVH. 
¶ And so it was that Raphael did come to teach Adam and Eve that they might teach their seed of the degrees in the heavens, saying: 
The entire world, yea, even the entire universe, was created and filled by the word of YHVH, and this creation became one within the seventh heaven. 
Behold, YHVH is El Elyon, even Lord (Adoni) God (Elohim) over everything; 
Therefore, YHVH is the ten Sefirot, from below the earth to beyond the heavens, and from the East to the West, and the North to the South, forever and ever. 
¶ The light of YHVH illuminates the thirty-two paths that reside between the Sefirot, starting with Elohim; 
Walk these paths until you see the creation through the eyes of that Creator and thou shalt discover the most sacred names of Alohykm. 
Before the beginning was YHVH, El Elyon, He who created Ha’Elohim, giving unto Himself the name YHVH. 
And YHVH is One, that He should make all the worlds, high, middle and low, and fulfill all according to the Torah (instruction) of the Father (Aviad); 
Without the will of Aviad, no stones nor shapes were formed, without Asyma there was no life given them. 
Bless YHVH! Even as Alohykm, He doth live in the seventh heaven and rules over everything. 
¶ Think of YHVH in eternal ages; through these degress, at the beginning of the world, mankind was given to see glory and majesty. 
¶ The Voice speaketh unto the heart, saying: Men do not think of the glory of heaven; 
Even as Aviad and Shekianh instructed and as YHVH decreed, Ha’Elohim did create this world with the knowledge of Alohykm in reverence; 
Therefore, serve Yah and YHVH with all thy heart, and do good for the creation all thy life. 
When YHVH did breathe life into mankind, Yah did say: All things are the breath of Ruach HaKodesh; and this is the first degree. 
¶ From the Word comes the breath, from the mouth; therefore, the soul does not find peace from pain. 
¶ These are the words of that same fire and water; mankind is to pressed their lips to the words that the noise of it should be strong! 
And when YHVH did speak, sparks flew from the breath even as fire shooting from the rocks: 
Wherefore, when thou shall speak in faith, the power of that fire cometh from out of thy mouths to ignite the flame of hope. 
Is not the power of the Word like fire? This is the power of the Voice the doth come from the very breath of Elohim (Ruach HaKodesh). 
And when it shall come to pass that the people shall rise from the grave and are born again in YHVH, it shall be even as the steam rising from the water (baptism?). 
Even as the heat of the fire burns the old and creates the new life in every dwelling, in Nephi is the soul born in water and fire, and mankind is born again in YHVH. 
¶ This is the word of YHVH: A fire that eats fire. 
The breath of life is the glory of YHVH, who made the Word flesh. 
Everything that is done is done through the Word of YHVH and is therefore eternally blessed. 
They who believe in truth, even after the light of YHVH is extinguished from mankind, they will be healed: 
The world will be healed, the earth will be filled, and creation will be completed on the day following the Sabbath of YHVH. 
¶ Blessed is YHVH Elohim to create all the Torah and the mitzvoth given unto mankind; Elohim Shaddai: Eternal is His glory and power; so mote it be; Amen. 
¶ Behold, Abraham, and thou too, Sarah, that this cleansing (Nephi) is that seven days of creation; therefore, remember thy rest.

Chapter 25

Taught at the Veil

Behold, even as I have taught it unto my people, I shall teach it unto you; 
For they all, my people, did struggle upwards unto the heavens, not to leave this earth but that the will of Alohykm should be done here upon the earth: 
And for this I and they have been blessed, and we prepare, even now, to leave this plane, for the veil of light hath been rent before us, and we have been called home; 
Therefore, our souls do travel freely into that intimate light, beyond knowledge, beyond the idolatrous whims of mankind; 
For we have found that Torah which I do teach thee now, and wrapped ourselves in that Shekinah, resting in the love of YHVH. 
¶ And now I do invite thee to teach all that I have given thee and all that I shall give thee in YHVH, unto thy children, that they too should know to rend that veil; 
And by these rituals do I teach thee, for this is how I too was taught, in the temple of El Eyon; 
Therefore it is how I have taught my wives, and how we have taught our people; therefore, it is how thou shall be taught, and how thou shall teach it unto thy seed until that last generation. 
The rest of this chapter and remaining chapters are to be kept from the world until the temple of YHVH is built for all people, that the rituals and teachings may be shared within.

Sefer Zenock

The words and visions of Zenock, son of Zenoch, for the Word of YHVH did come to him in the days when Zimriy was king over Israel;

Chapter 1

Zenock speaks, expounding the scriptures, filled with the Holy Spirit of truth.

And it came to pass that Zenock (צנך) being filled with the Breath of YHVH did open his lips, saying: 
We have been given the words of Moses, which is the teachings of YHVH through that mighty hand; 
And this wisdom has been passed down through the servants of YHVH, even the prophets, that we would have His Word: 
That we might seek YHVH with all of our hearts and all of our souls; to love everything that YHVH hath given us, and to hate all that which YHVH doth hate; 
For we do know that Moses did teach us to observe to do all that our Elohim, YHVH, did instruct us; 
Therefore, we should be like unto the sons of our father, Joseph, even Manasseh and Ephraim. and turn aside not to the right hand nor to the left. 
Yea, and Moses did teach us to walk in all the ways YHVH, our Elohim, did instruct us, that we may live, and that it may be well with us; 
¶ And should we do this, Moses did even give us the Word of YHVH, saying: 
Wherefore, thou shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and thou shall dwell in the land in safety. 
And behold, ye do see the good things with which YHVH hath blessed His people; 
Yea, and His mercy has not blessed your hearts that ye should give even as ye have been blessed or even as ye have been given; 
Therefore, there is much injustice, and the rich do keep for themselves, and the poor, they are cast aside and discarded. 
¶ Yet did not Moses give unto us the Word of YHVH when he did say unto us: 
Thy desire shall be unto thy own, lest thou be corrupt, and the hand of thy neighbors be against thee, and the cry of the poor ascend to YHVH against thee. 
And yet the poor do cry out unto YHVH even unto this day, seeking salvation from hunger and from thirst, and for relief for their impoverishment. 
¶ And behold, Moses did say: Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause; but shall feed and clothe the poor among thee that my people be free, and their wants and needs be met. 
And is there no poor amongst us? I say unto thee: Nay; the poor do scurry about in search for substance and in fear that they be molested when they have committed no crimes. 
¶ And Moses did say: For when thou art obedient unto my covenant thou shalt be blessed, and prosper in the land that I shall give unto thee; 
But when thou art not faithful, then shall my wrath be poured out upon thee. 
And ye see that we have been a blessed people, but have we kept our mitzvoth? I say unto thee again: Nay; therefore, ye have no promise. 
¶ And again, Moses did say unto us: And if thy brother or thy sister should wax poor and fall in decay with thee, then thou shalt relieve them; 
Yea, though they be a stranger or a sojourner, that they may live with thee. 
Take thou no usury of them, or increase; but fear thy Elohim, that thy brother or sister may live with thee. 
Thou shalt not give them thy money upon usury nor lend them thy food or provisions for increase. 
And yet ye would cast me out from amongst you for saying these things? And I know you sought to destroy me, but YHVH did deliver me from out of thy hands. 
And yet I am one of you, for I am of the seed of Joseph through my mother, and my father be a Levite and a Priest unto this people. 
¶ And seeing that I have cast aside the things of the earth, and I know ye think me mad, 
For I do come before thee in sackcloth and ashes for the bondage and affliction that ye have caused your brothers and your sisters to suffer before YHVH; 
And I say unto all of you that do hear my voice: It is YHVH who does judge all things in righteousness; 
Therefore, be slow to hear the cries of the widows and the fatherless no more, and cast out the poor from amongst you no more; 
But lift them up even as YHVH hath lifted you up; yea, do this and ye shall walk in perfection in the sight of YHVH. 
For in loving your fellow men and fellow women you shall not stray from the truth but will walk in the perfection of the path of YHVH, our Elohim. 
¶ For YHVH hath said unto me: Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brothers and sisters, to thy poor, and to thy needy in thy lands. 
Wherefore, if ye will heed not unto my works, listen then to the words of Moses, friend of YHVH; for he did speak truly unto our fathers and our mothers, that we would know. 
Shower not thy gift unto the Priest, and this I say when ye know that my father is a Priest amongst you, 
Wait not for the sons of Aaron to give your tithes unto the poor, or for the Priests to bless the poor with your tithes and your offerings; but give to the poor amongst you freely of yourselves! 
¶ And I do say unto you this day: That when our fathers and our mothers did enter into that covenant, we too did enter therein by their blood which is in us; 
Therefore, all that YHVH did promise to bless them with, He should bless us with, and all that YHVH did promise to curse them with, He should curse us with. 
And all of Israel did enter into that covenant; therefore, all that have sinned shall confess their sins: 
For even as we have walked away from that truth it shall be justice that we are given. 
Yet YHVH doth continue to shower many among us with His blessing, and why does He bless these? That they might bestow their gifts unto another. 
¶ Yea, and we see that YHVH has showered His merciful favor, blessing us with the good things of the earth; 
Therefore, may YHVH light up our hearts that we would see the countenance of His favor that we have been given! 
¶ Yet YHVH hath sent me amongst you, saying: Accursed ye shall be for your wickedness, and if ye do not repent His justice shall come among you! 
For the darkness of your deeds be great in His sight, and with that same mercy that ye have given shall ye receive; 
Therefore, all they that deny mercy unto their brothers and their sisters shall the mercy of YHVH be denied. 
¶ And when you do hear the Voice of the Covenant in your hearts, saying: Would that I have peace! Know that it is the darkness of your hearts that hath brought forth His anger. 
And all they that have kept the covenant shall say: Amen unto your destruction, for the stubbornness of Israel shall be her justice! 
¶ But know too that YHVH is mercy, and that He doth cleanse us of our sins: 
And for this YHVH shall send His Son, that redemption should come through Him; 
For I have seen the redemption of Israel; and it shall be swift in the righteousness of YHVH. 
Wherefore, know ye that all that YHVH Elohim hath built, he too will destroy, and that all that YHVH should destroy, He will build it up again. 
¶ For YHVH did give unto us the Sabbaths and the Holy Days, and these He did give unto us as signs that He would come unto us in the flesh. 
And when the Son of Man will come, He will again take Israel from out of her bondage, but it shall be from the bondage of her sins. 
And it shall be even as Moses was told of the Passover, for what shall be required of the Son of Man but that He should be taken from amongst His people? 
But Israel shall see that justice cannot be taken nor can mercy be destroyed, and that the light of His mercy shall stand forever and ever to satisfy the demands of justice; 
And in this ye shall know that there shall be bitter weeping and much destruction before the end should come. 
¶ And I know that at these words ye do desire my blood, but it shall not be spilt yet, for YHVH hath given me more to say. 
And I know that ye will not hear nor harken unto my words; therefore I give them not for you, 
But that they should be preserved to be heard by they of our seed, even of Ephraim and Manasseh, they that shall be called away even unto the isles of the seas, 
And they shall read my works and shall know that it is unto them that I speak. 
And also, unto they that are of Israel in the last days, for these words shall come forth as a warning and all they that the Breath of Elohim doeth guide to hear them. 
¶ Wherefore I say unto thee: Write ye my words that ye may use them as a sign against me this day, and that our seed might read them as a light in the darkness in their days. 
For the things of YHVH are unknown to they that are the workers of darkness, though the legacy (inheritance or portion) of the sons and daughters of Adam be that they should know good from evil. 
¶ But what has mankind done with this gift but give evil for good and evil for evil? 
And are these the ways of YHVH, our Elohim? 
I say unto thee nay, for Moses did give unto us the Word of YHVH, saying: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 
And Moses did say unto us further: If a stranger should sojourn with thee in thy land, thou shall not vex them; 
But the stranger that dwelleth with thee shall be unto thee as one born among you, 
And thou shalt love them as thyself; for thou wast a stranger in the land of Egypt; and I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
Wherefore, I would ask you: Who then is thy neighbor? 
¶ And again, Moses did say unto our fathers: And if a stranger shall sojourn among you and will keep the Passover, 
According to the ordinance of the Passover and according to the manner thereof, so shall they do; 
Thou shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger and for they who were born in the land. 
Therefore, I do say unto you this day: Thy neighbor and the stranger, these are one in YHVH, 
For there is but one Passover and thus one salvation for both the stranger and for they that are born in the land. 
Wherefore, beware of pride in these things, for all the creation is as one unto YHVH. 
¶ And when the Son of Man should come, He shall come unto His people first, and then He shall send Israel out to teach the world. 
And why should He do this thing? Because the love of YHVH is great for this, His creation, and all of mankind He would bless through His servant, Israel: 
Wherefore, it is in this, at the end, that YHVH shall bring us into His new creation; 
For YHVH doth know the stubbornness of His people, and He doth pity and succor us with His grace. 
¶ Yet the time does soon come when we too shall see His justice and plea for His mercy, even as the poor amongst you do plea for your mercy. 
Will you then hear their pleas that YHVH should hear your cries in your time of need? 
And perhaps thou might say: But YHVH shall bless him for YHVH, our Elohim hath blessed me as such! 
¶ But I say unto you: Thou doth not know the mercy nor the blessing of YHVH; for all that He does give doth belong to YHVH, think not that it be of thy strength, 
But know that YHVH doth give freely unto they that He doth bless that these should bless they that YHVH doth send unto them: 
Wherefore, I say again unto thee, even as Moses hath said: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself; 
Therefore, all that YHVH hath blessed thee with, He hath given that ye should bless your neighbors. 
¶ And again, I say unto all you who would hear my words: Harken now unto the word which YHVH hath breathed unto me. 
And this shall be a sign: Though ye do seek to take my life, ye shall not have it, 
But YHVH shall deliver me unto you even unto my death if it should be the will of El Elyon, once His Word hath been spoken through his servant. 
For my words must be known and should be written down, 
That they who shall be taken unto the isles of the seas be warned that they should know to reject the man of lies and to believe the words of the teachers of YHVH.

Chapter 2

Zenock tells of his vision.

Even as a boy, my father did instruct me in the ways of YHVH, and he did teach me the Word of YHVH as given by His servant, Moses, 
And I did learn of our father, Joseph and our mother, Aseneth; 
And they did have a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God, consisting of the wisdom of Israel and the language of the Egyptians. 
And it came to pass that I did come to know that the mysteries of the Torah would not be revealed by committing the Word to memory, nor from following the blindness of men; 
But the truth of the Torah was a gift to be given of YHVH Elohim unto all they who do seek to uncover her face, and learn her wisdom, and her truth, and her secrets. 
¶ And it came to pass that as I grew, I did see that many availed themselves not to the Teachings of YHVH, our Elohim, 
But did turn themselves unto that of idolatrous nations, and the arts and suspicions of men that do call themselves prophets, yet they do see vanity, and divine not but lies. 
And upon seeing this, I did turn unto YHVH, the Elohim of my fathers, and your fathers, even Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that I should learn and know. 
¶ And it came to pass that after ten years of study, and of prayer, and of supplication unto YHVH, the eyes of my understanding were opened, and I did know. 
And upon entering into the council of the quidoshim (Hebrew קְדֹשִׁים, "holy ones”) or the knowledge of the holy angels of YHVH and being filled with the mercy of Elohim Shaddai, I was privy to the Divine Wisdom. 
Now in this time, I did travel, seeking truth from any that the Voice did direct me to seek; 
I was given to travel four years to the north, and I did rest not for I did not find any seeking that which YHVH had sent me to find there. 
And I did find rest to the east for three years, and I did study there, and to the west I did wonder for one year, and I did travel two years to the south. 
And everywhere YHVH did send me, I did find the poor, and my pity I did give unto them, even until all of my substance was gone and I had nothing left of myself. 
¶ And it came to pass that as I did return unto the house of my father, in the seventh month of the tenth year of my travels, I did find lodging in the hut of a poor man and his wife. 
Now this man, he being of great age, and his wife too being of a great age, they did beg for their substance, yet they did find it in their hearts to give unto me all that they did have. 
Yet I could not sleep in their bed, which was but layers of old tattered rags upon the earth of their hut; 
Therefore, I did give unto them the last of my things, this consisting of my bedding and the remainder of the provisions and I did wish to find rest upon the earth. 
And they did protest, for they desired nothing but the comfort of their guest; therefore, I did run off, leaving all of my things, and I did find shelter in a cave not far off. 
¶ And it came to pass that in the morning, upon my return, I did see that the hut stood there no more, 
Yet I could see the markings upon the ground that did show unto me that this was the very place that I had sought shelter the night before. 
And I did throw myself unto the earth, for I did desire to know where the old man and his wife had gone, and I did fear for their very lives. 
¶ And it came to pass that as I prayed, a light did descend from the heavens unto me, and I did see that an angel of YHVH stood there before me. 
And at the first, I was sore afraid, yet the peace of Elohim did wash over me, and the messenger did speak unto me, saying: 
YHVH hath forgiven thee thy sins, and hath called thee to teach His people; therefore, rise up, and get thee back to that cave, that I might teach thee there the things of YHVH. 
And it came to pass that I did get myself up, and I did travel back into that cave where I had found shelter. 
¶ And it came to pass that when I did find again that cave, I did see that same light emanating from within. 
And it came to pass that upon entering the cave, I did fall to prostrate myself before that angel, and did ask him of the old man and his wife, for I did still fear for their safety. 
¶ And the angel did speak unto me saying: Arise, and worship me not, for I am but a malak of YHVH; 
And fear not for those whom thou doth seek, for they too are servants of YHVH; therefore thou wast serving malakim unaware. 
Behold, Ha’Elohim hath seen you, and how thou hast served Him these ten years; 
For thou didst travel to the north four years, and then unto the east three years, and then west one year, and then unto the south for two years; 
Now, today, in the tenth year of thy travels, step again outside this cave and look up, and thou shall find what thou doth seek. 
¶ And it came to pass that as I left the cave, there was a light, even brighter than the sun at noon day, 
And my eyes could not see of themselves the vision that was placed before me, for I beheld that the heavens did open, and within was found the whole of creation. 
And so it was that I did see myself once more as a boy, and then as an old man; 
And as I, myself, yet surrounded in the riches of the things of this world, and as myself, in poverty and despair; 
And as a lord over many, and as the servant of a lord who took not pity upon those that did serve him. 
¶ And a voice came out of that light, saying: Zenock, I have seen thee in every form, and in each thou art faithful; 
Therefore, fear not, I am He who has travel with thee all these ten years, and I am the Father and the Son; I am He that sitteth upon that throne that ruleth over Ha’Elohim. 
And even now, thou doth bask in the Presence of Elohim, in Her divine wisdom and light; were it not so, thou couldst not see me, nor could thou bear my light; 
For it is the light and the life of the world, and in it is life everlasting, life eternal; for I am the well from which the water of life pours freely. 
And it is I that shall be lifted up upon a tree, and this that after I have been lifted up, all mankind might be drawn unto me. 
And I have called thee, even as I did call my servant Moses from that bush even as it was ablaze, yet it burned not. 
Listen now to the teachings of my malak, and thou shall learn truth, and teach this truth unto my people, 
And they that would listen shall write them, thy words, and preserve them that they should be brought forth at the last days as a testimony that I did call thee and that thou art my servant. 
¶ And it came to pass that the heavens did close, and I did fall helpless unto the earth, weakened from the vision that I had been given. 
And it came to pass that when I did awaken, I did find myself looking again into the heavens, 
And seeing that I had no strength in me, I did lay there until I had recovered enough that I could make my way back into that cave, 
And there I did rest, and I did find sleep, all that time pondering the things I had seen and heard.

Chapter 3

The teachings of an angel of the Lord.

And it came to pass that on the morning I did awaken, and was tired from hunger and thirst, for my body was weakened of the things of the flesh. 
And it came to pass that the angel did instruct me to go up out of that cave, and there I did find manna to eat; 
And when I had eaten my fill, the angel, he did instruct me to take a stick and to strike a rock, even as Moses and Aaron had; and water did flow out from it. 
And it came to pass that I did fall to the earth and praise YHVH for the nourishment he had provided unto me. 
¶ And it came to pass that the angel did speak unto me again, saying: I am Haniel, I am he that did give unto Israel that Torah whilst in the flesh; 
Yea, and I was taken up, for I did not give unto YHVH His due, even as thou did when the water sprang forth from that rock. 
And it has been given me of YHVH to teach thee and to instruct thee in the ways of YHVH Elohim, 
That thou might return and teach all they that would partake of the Breath and harken unto the Voice of Yah. 
¶ And now I do say unto thee, even as thou didst travel these ten years, growing in YHVH: 
There are ten plagues that do draw mankind away from YHVH, our Elohim. 
The first of these is Lilith, given to flee the light into the darkness; and this is the beginning of that path. 
And the second, he is the leviathan of the abyss; these are they that care not for mankind but only for their own lives; the slanderer, they who do bear false witness. 
The third is the secret combination, all those that would make a secret for their increase and keep it; and this was the sin of Cain. 
And the fourth is the impurity or the adultery of mankind; they that seek to break the covenant. 
And the fifth, she is war and bloodshed, murder for to get gain; she is even in all they that do make plans to spill blood. 
And the sixth is the pride of the ignorant; they that have no love in their hearts for the earth, nor for the creation, nor for the wisdom of their mothers or their fathers, rejecting the wisdom of experience. 
And the seventh is the rage of mankind, who in anger and their greed doth seek to destroy that which YHVH doth create and hath no love for their neighbors. 
And the eighth is the Sabbath breaker; both they who do worship the Sabbath and they who do reject it. 
And the ninth is the blasphemer, they who do take upon themselves the name of YHVH but do not walk as such. 
And the tenth is the idol maker, even they who do know YHVH Elohim, yet they do build up the things of mankind to place them before YHVH. 
And these are the enemies of YHVH and the enemies of Yah, therefore they are the enemies of Israel. 
¶ And behold, YHVH Elohim, in Wisdom and Glory, hath warned the earth of these plagues from before the beginning; 
Yet from the beginning have these tried and tested mankind, and for this reason was this creation made, even to place mankind into the fire of temptation; 
To burn out the wickedness even as one would burn out the dross from the silver, that ye might find comfort and be made clean by that fire of the refiner, 
That having been made pure and righteous, thou should stand and be ready before YHVH at that last day. 
For in this world, the light hath been mixed with the darkness, and so it was that in the beginning, the light was separated from that darkness. 
¶ And so it is that when a man or a woman doth take upon themselves the name of YHVH, that light is separated from the darkness, and they are made clean; 
Therefore, I do say unto all mankind: Ye must take upon you the name of YHVH Tzidqenu Ha’Mashiach, for it is by this name that ye shall be called at that last day. 
But know that YHVH Tzidqenu Ha’Mashiach is eternal, being from everlasting to everlasting; therefore, YHVH is beyond the understanding of mankind. 
Wherefore, YHVH doth hide His face from they that would not see Him, and doth only reveal His face unto they that do seek Him, showing unto them only that which they might see; 
For if YHVH Tzidqenu Ha’Mashiach were to show himself fully unto mankind, and not of the temporal, but of the spiritual, not of the carnal mind, but of the Glory of Elohim, 
If they were to see Him as He is, they would see the form of a man beyond all description, and beyond all comprehension. 
¶ And so it is that should any that come before YHVH Elohim to stand in the Presence or to see His face, they should see with their spiritual eyes, even as thou didst; 
Therefore, thou should teach all mankind to seek the Presence and to harken unto the Voice, even as thou hast done, and the things of the spirit shall be made manifest and known unto them. 
¶ And I say unto thee: There are those now that do walk the earth and there shall be those in the last days also that shall seek the company of the sa'iyr and the shed, 
And these would do so thinking they might learn from them, or take some control over them: 
Yea, and it will even be that records shall come forth to tempt mankind that these are things of righteousness. 
¶ But behold, I say unto thee and all they that would hear and heed thy words: 
These things are priestcrafts and not of Elohim, but of that devil who desireth to stir up the hearts of mankind in his deceptions; 
And these priestcrafts were given of that Satan to drive the hearts of mankind away from the things of YHVH, that they should be fearful of Him and their fates at that last day. 
Therefore, thou shalt abstain from this evil, that YHVH Elohim should sanctify thee and that thy body and soul be blameless at the last day, 
And that YHVH Tzidqenu Ha’Mashiach should raise thee up, and seal thee in His light, 
Being washed clean in the water of life, and that death should not have power over thee forever and ever; amen. 
¶ And it came to pass that the angel did continue to speak unto me, and to teach me the things of YHVH for many days, even that I did not keep count of them. 
But I did write his words, and I did come forth from that cave, and did travel back to the lands of my father, 
That I might teach you to avoid that which doth plague Israel, that the people of YHVH should keep our covenant with Him, that we should not lose our lands. 
And would ye listen? Nay, but ye have taken me, and tried me, and paid your judges to condemn me, though I have done no wrong. 
And it is even as the angel did speak, for in taking me you did spread the plagues of rage, and of ignorance, and of back biting, and slander. 
Therefore, I say unto all of you this day: Come now unto YHVH, our Elohim, in teshuvah; 
Leave behind your priestcrafts, and your wicked ways that YHVH should spare His people; 
Lay down your pride, and come forth anew in our covenant with YHVH, that we should find safety and peace, in this, the land that YHVH did promise unto our fathers. 
And now, do with me as ye will, for I am not in thy hand, but I am in the hands of YHVH Tzidqenu Ha’Mashiach, 
And I know that whatever should be done unto me, it is not my will, but the will of that Elohim that did send me. 
And I see that ye have made a record of my words, and I know that these words will be kept, that it shall be made known at that last day, that I do serve YHVH, my Elohim. 
And YHVH shall raise up all they that do serve Him unto life everlasting, and take away death for ever and ever. 
Therefore, if ye should take my blood, know that ye shall do it as a testimony against you at that last day; so mote it be, amen.

Chapter 4

The death of Zenock.

And it came to pass that Zenock did cease in his speaking, and those that had been held back as though he had been guarded round bout by the malakim of YHVH were able to stand once more. 
And so it was that they did take him, and he did fall to his judges, and was to be put to death by stoning; 
For those that did judge him wished him strangled, for he was accused of prophesying falsely; 
For he did say that the reign of Zimriy, king of Israel, should be short, yet because of the power of his words, none dared to put hands upon him. 
And thus it was that the judge did say that he had worked the necromancy in talking to the malakim of YHVH, our Elohim. 
¶ And it came to pass that they did take this man, Zenock, from out of the city, and there the Priest did throw the first stone. 
And it came to pass that when the stone did strike him, it cut him; yet before that stone even hit the dirt, the sky grew dark, and the priest was struck dead by lightning. 
And so it was that they did come to place a heavy stone; yea, even a stone that was more than twice the height of him. 
¶ And it came to pass that before they could place that stone upon him, Zenock did look up at the storm, saying: 
Thou art angry, O YHVH, with this people, for they do not understand of thy mercies which thou hast bestowed upon them because of thy Son. 
And behold, this is the very root of the Torah, every word and every whit of it doth point to that great and last sacrifice; 
And that great and last sacrifice will be the Son of Elohim, yea, infinite and eternal; and thus YHVH shall bring salvation to all who do believe on Ha’Shem. 
And so shall it be that mercy will satisfy the demands of justice; therefore, all they who will walk in teshuvah, in this last sacrifice, shall be saved by their faith, for it is a free gift! 
Wherefore, I do say unto thee this day: Cry unto YHVH for mercy; for YHVH is mighty to save! 
And to do this, thou must begin to humble thyself, and continue in prayer unto YHVH; 
Therefore, cry unto YHVH when thou art in thy fields, yea, cry over all thy herds and thy flocks. 
And cry unto YHVH in thy house; yea, over all thy household, in the mornings, midday, and evenings. 
And cry unto YHVH, our Elohim, even against the power of our enemies; yea, cry unto YHVH against the adversary, that one who is the enemy of all righteousness. 
And cry unto YHVH over the crops of thy fields, that thou may prosper in the lands; cry over the flocks of thy fields, that they may increase. 
And I say unto you: This is not all; therefore, pour out thy soul in thy canopy, and thy secret chamber, and in the wilderness. 
And when thou cannot cry unto YHVH, let thy heart be full, drawn out in prayer unto YHVH continually for thy welfare and also for the welfare of thy neighbors. 
And now, behold, I say unto you: Do not think that this is all thou must do, 
For after thou hast prayed all these things, if thou should turn away the needy and the naked, and visit not the sick and afflicted, and impart not of that which YHVH hast blessed thee with, giving unto all they who stand in need; 
I say unto thee now: That if thou should doest not any of these things, behold, thy prayers are in vain and availeth thee nothing; 
And this because thou art as the godless ones who do deny the truth; 
Therefore, if thou remember not to be charitable, then thou hast gone aside of that path which is straight, and it being of no worth, thou shall be trodden under the feet of men. 
And in that day that death shall be conquered, I say unto you: That in that day, the isles of the sea shall see the people mourning, for all they who are without remorse and without pity shall be destroyed. 
The earth shall break apart and come back together, and winds shall come and removed cities; yea, and fire shall burn them up, and the people shall sink into the seas. 
¶ And after he had said this, it came to pass that the people did drop the stone upon him, and he could speak no more; 
And so it was that this man, Zenock, a prophet of YHVH, he did give up the ghost. 
Yea, and it came to pass that his words did touch the hearts of some of the people there, and we did write his words. 
And so it was that we did meet together in secret, that we too might not be put to death, even as Zenock, prophet of YHVH, had been put to death. 
¶ And it came to pass that we did write down his words to our remembrance of them. 
And so it was that we did begin to pray, even has Zenock had reminded us, 
And we did give of our substance to those in need, and even unto they who did not need but did ask of us, 
And this we did that we might not be condemned of YHVH, our Elohim, but should be remembered by Him. 
¶ And it came to pass that we did begin to search the hills for the cave of which he did speak, searching out the record of Zenock. 
And it came to pass that there was one in our midst, Baraq, son of Laman, who had heard the voice of Zenock in the wilderness, and whose heart was pierced; 
Therefore, he did believe all the things that the prophet did speak, and he did tell it unto his father, and they were ordained by the hand of Zenock, both Baraq and his father, Laman. 
And so it was that Laman had been chosen to lead the hearers of the Word, for this is what we were called who did harken unto Zenock, the prophet of YHVH. 
And so it was that he did dream a dream in which a malak did lead him to a certain path where he did find the cave of Zenock; 
And it came to pass that this man, Baraq, did lead us to that cave, and there we did find the treasures of YHVH, even the word of YHVH as given through Zenock, the prophet of YHVH.

Chapter 5

The teachings of the angels of the Lord.

And it came to pass that after traveling for ten years — and these ten years were years of much study, and of much prayer, and of much supplication unto YHVH, my Elohim — 
That I, Zenock (צנך), was removed from the earth (or removed from about the land) and taken into a cave where I was taught in the ways of YHVH by the malakim of YHVH. 
¶ And it came to pass that in that day, after I had eaten of the manna of YHVH, that I did pray in thanksgiving, saying: 
O YHVH, Creator of the earth, the heavens above, and the abyss below; 
One who reigns over the Tehom (Hebrew תְּהוֹם, “the deep” or “the abyss”), sovereign of the Shamayim (Hebrew שָׁמַיִם, “the heavens” or “the skys”), Thy will governs over all the Erets (Hebrew ארץ, “earth” or “land”); 
Peace would be thy weapon of war, for thou are crowned in all glory and have shared thy glory with Israel by thy Torah, should we but hear thy Word by it; 
You have brought me into thy Presence, and sought to teach me by thy malakim, even as thou did teach my parents, Adam and Eve; all glory be thine: Amen and amen. 
¶ And it came to pass that after this, the malak, the name of him being Haniel (חניאל), did call me forth, saying unto me: 
Behold, I shall come again in ten days; and it shall be that while thou dost wait upon my return, thou shall meditate each day, eating only of that manna which thou shall gather from the ground outside this cave, and drink only the water from that rock. 
And as thou shall do this: Thou shalt meditate facing the north the first four days, and then facing the east for three days, and then facing the west for one day, and then facing the south for two days; and then at the last, shall I return. 
And so it was that I did meditate facing the north the first four days, and then facing the east for three days, and then facing the west for one day, and then facing the south for two days, eating only manna from the land about the cave, and only drinking water that flowed freely from the rock for these ten days. 
And each day I did meditate upon that year that did correspond with each day, and all the things which I had learned. 
¶ And it came to pass that in the evening of the tenth day that the malak, Haniel, did return, and with him came another and one more. 
And it came to pass that Haniel did ask me of my meditations, and if I had faced the north the first four days, and then facing the east for three days, and then facing the west for one day, and then facing the south for two days. 
And thus it was that I had, and thus it was that I told him so. 
¶ And it came to pass that the second malak did come forth, saying: 
I am Raziel (רזיאל God is my secret) that came unto our first parents, even Adam and Eve, to teach them their Torah and their mitzvoth; 
And I am Raphael (רְפאל healing of God) that did stir the waters that they should be used for healing; 
And I am Melchizedek who did bless thy father and thy mother, Abram and Sarai, and through my hand did YHVH gift unto them new names, even Abraham and Sarah. 
And behold me, that I am in the flesh, for I was taken as was Enoch, for I did walk with YHVH, and I was taken; 
Therefore, I have been instructed that I should bless thee, and ordain thee with the keys of Enoch and of Abraham, 
That what thou should seal upon the earth shall be sealed in the heavens and what thou should loose upon the earth shall be loosed in the heavens. 
¶ And I do say now unto thee: The strong shall fall to the earth, and the mighty shall be turned to dust, therefore O man (Adam), where is thy strength? 
For the chariot of YHVH doth ride amongst the clouds, and YHVH doth look down to smite and cut off the enemy. 
¶ And who is it that would strive to challenge the seat of the dominion of El Elyon? Who should, in his vanity, seek to set his throne above the stars? 
Death seeks to judge the creation of Elohim, even that creation that was made by the very Word of YHVH, and the hand of Ha’Elohim, 
¶ But death shall be conquered, death shall fall before the very name of YHVH and give up all that he did take, 
For life (Eve) shall conquer and she shall conquer in the very name of YHVH Elohim, for He is El Olam. 
¶ And now I shall tell thee how to conquer death: In homage to YHVH thou shall build up His temple, 
And this shall not be a temple of wood, nor of silver, nor of gold; nor shall it be built of fine linin, nor of tables with bread to eat, nor fine things for which to honor or give glory to YHVH. 
Nay, but this shall be a temple built not of the hands of mankind (Adam) but built of life (Eve) herself, that it cannot die. 
For thy skin shall be the vestment of the temple of YHVH, and blood, and sweat, and tears shall be the libations of it, and the fire of thy passions shall be the coals of it. 
¶ What then shall be the sacrifice? O man, there shall be no suffering in this temple, but the joy of service, 
For when thou doth lift up thy hand to help another of this, the creation of YHVH, it shall be done by the heart which was broken, and thy spirit contrite in sacrifice. 
¶ And only by serving this creation can YHVH be appeased, for doth not the Torah of Moses, which was given unto Israel by the very hand of YHVH, say: 
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
And who is thy neighbor? It is they that love thee? I say unto thee: Yea; 
And it is they that hate thee? I say unto thee: Yea. 
And this is not all, for it is also they that know thee not: 
And thy neighbor is the calf that did fall into the ditch, and thy neighbor is that lamb that did fall into the well, and thy neighbor is that oxen that did fall into the snare; 
And thy neighbor is that tree that was struck down with the ax and left to rot, and thy neighbor is that flower plucked from the field and thrown away, and thy neighbor is that fruit that was plucked up and not eaten. 
¶ Wherefore do I say unto thee: Love not only that which can be set up for thy benefit, but love all the creation of YHVH Elohim, 
Do this and thou shall be perfect, even as YHVH Elohim, who’s chariot doth ride in the North winds; 
For the rains that are sent down by Ha’Elohim do water the fields of they that be good and they that be evil, that all are blessed; 
Therefore, judge not, O man, but bless all they that stand in need and give the glory unto YHVH, your Elohim.

Chapter 6

The Torah holds the seeds of eternal life.

And the angel did speak again unto me, saying: Behold the Torah, it was given not only unto Israel but unto the world by Moses, friend of YHVH, blessed be he: 
For Moses did speak unto YHVH face to face, and unto Moses and Zipporah did YHVH give the Torah, 
For the angel of YHVH did lead them up unto a high mountain, that they should be high above the clouds, that they should see the stars, for this is where the Torah is written. 
And YHVH, your Elohim, did write them, the words of the Torah, onto two sapphire tablets that Israel should always have the Torah before them. 
And so it was that YHVH did send them into the wilderness (Mormon) that they should receive (qabbalah/Kabbalah) the Torah and pass it down unto every generation until the end of time and times. 
¶ And what is this tradition (Kabbalah)? It is to study and know the Torah, that the covenant should be met and Israel know her mitzvoth. 
And if those who study her mysteries cannot explain the Torah to a child, they do not know her secrets, for the mysteries are too simple for mankind to comprehend: 
But a child shall know them, and shall understand them; therefore, if you are to know the Torah and believe the Word then you must think as a child. 
¶ The first story of the Torah is told in the stars and is visible in the first month of the year, in the spring; 
Therefore, tell it as a parable unto your children and your children’s children in that first month that they should learn it and that they should know it. 
And this is the first layer of the Torah, even the surface of it; it is told that mankind may begin in the knowledge of YHVH. 
¶ And in wisdom is the second found, for in the second layer of the Torah is the allegory, the teachings of YHVH hinted to mankind and drawn out by the experience of life. 
And when that knowledge of the story and the wisdom of the parable are known, then understanding comes and mankind climbs the ladder and doth piece together the puzzle. 
And then it is that the limits of man are reached, as the Voice can be heard, and the mystery of the revelation is revealed. 
¶ And this is the tradition (Kabbalah) of Israel (straight to God); and why then do you wander in the wilderness (Mormon) first? 
Because mankind will always seek his own heart before seeking the Voice of El Elyon. 
But the child of Elohim knows to listen to the Voice, and hears and remembers the covenant: All that YHVH has spoken, we will do! 
Wherefore, remember, remember, thy covenant, O Israel, that thou might learn thy mitzvoth and to do it. 
¶ The Torah of YHVH is written in perfection in the night skies, that the Word of YHVH might convert the soul to the testimony of YHVH, who wrote her. 
And Moses did give unto Israel twelve copies, one for each tribe, each written in a language their people could understand. 
And the oral Torah is passed down mouth to ear from generation to generation and shall be loved by Israel for all generations. 
¶ And the Torah of YHVH is like unto a seed, planted in the heart of mankind that the orchard of YHVH should grow up and bear fruit, which fruit is thy mitzvoth. 
For the words of the Torah are nothing but the divine message of the heart of Israel, and he who she brings into her inner chambers, unto them is the mystery (sod) given. 
Wherefore did Moses give you the Ten Words, and through these Ten Words is the Leviathan overcome. 
¶ And whence the Leviathan is overcome, the true King, the King of Kings, shall reveal the vision of the inner chambers and the Merkava unto them; 
Therefore, all thy learning is from the Torah, and the Torah of YHVH is even this: 
Thou shalt love YHVH, thy Elohim, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 
And it is even this: thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself; for YHVH, is thy Elohim, therefore if you do love the Creator, then you shall love His creation. 
¶ And to grow this, the orchard of YHVH in thy heart, then you shall first start with a seed, and if it be a good seed, then shall you feel it begin to swell within you; 
Therefore, as it doth proceed to swell within you, it shall grow up, to bear fruit, and you shall see that it be a good seed, for the fruit of it shall be good. 
But if the seed that doth grow within you be a bad seed, it shall dry up thy faith, and the waters of the mercy of YHVH shall dry up, and you shall not do thy mitzvoth. 
Wherefore, if thy seed be true, then the works of you shall be true, and if the seed be a bad seed then the works of YHVH, your Elohim, shall not be seen to come out of you: 
For what thou doth eat and drink cannot defile you, but that bad seed planted in your heart shall defile you by what it spits up out of your mouth. 
Wherefore shall you cast that bad seed from out of you, and cling to all that is good, and to know that which is good, learn from her, the Torah. 
¶ Yea, if you shall be nourished by the Word of her, then shall you pluck from the fruit of the tree of life, and eat of it, and it shall spring up a tree in thee unto everlasting life, 
Which tree shall drink continually from the everlasting well of waters of the mercy of YHVH, and you shall never hunger nor thirst again.

Chapter 7

The Chereb of the Lord.

And it came to pass that the angel did speak again unto me, saying: Look! 
And I opened up my eyes, and there I saw the angel of YHVH standing between the earth and the heavens, and in his hand was the chereb. 
¶ And so it was that Raziel (רזיאל God is my secret) who is Raphael (רְפאל healing of God) did speak unto me, saying: YHVH did speak unto Moses and Zipporah in that day, saying: 
If thou desireth the chereb, and to pass it down from generation to generation, then know that thou who desires it must first fast for three days from food and drink, except once in the evenings, 
And when thou shall eat, thou shall first wash thy hands in salt, eating only unleavened bread, and drinking only water for three days, and this shall be thy fast: 
On the first day that thou should fast, before thou lay down to retire, thou shall bathe once and then no more for the three days, and thy sleep shall be sweet. 
And thou shalt pray in secret three times daily, saying: Blessed art thou YHVH, O Lord, our Elohim, who opens the gates of the firmament, and givest light to the whole world and its inhabitants, with the multitude of Thy mercies, who teachest Thy people, Israel, Thy Torah, and revealeth unto Israel the chereb. Grant me thy Torah that I, Thy servant, will be given authority over this chereb, that I shall be thy servant, that Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven: So mote it be, Amen. 
¶ And now, did not Haniel teach it to thee to do so when thou should meditate facing east those three days? 
And now you see that the Breath of YHVH be upon thee, and that you have been delivered into the Presence, 
And that we, the malakim of YHVH are here to serve thee, should you be as a pupil to us, as thy master. 
And your eyes have been illuminated, and your heart doth see, and now do you behold that which is hidden. 
¶ And I did behold that thou did wash thyself in a stream, immersing thyself in living water; 
Therefore, because you have been born again of water and of fire, you have gone forth to fulfill all righteousness. 
And now, because of this, ye shall die not, and are clean, and the Breath hath fallen upon thee, so long as thou doth desire to be holy unto YHVH and walk in teshuvah before YHVH, your Elohim. 
Therefore, prepare thyself now, for you shall be given to wear the mantel of righteousness. 
¶ Before the beginning of the creation of this world is the crown (Keter) of YHVH, 
And Ha’Elohim hath given thee knowledge (Da’at), from before the foundation of this world, 
And because of this, you have received wisdom (Chokhmah) from before the creation of this world. 
And being born again, this is the first day of thy creation, in the which you have received of the mercy (Chesed) of YHVH; 
And because you have received of the mercy, you have been given strength (Gevurah), and this is the second day of your creation. 
¶ And in the first day before the creation of this world you were crowned with an eternal crown, and given the left and right eyes that you should see; 
Therefore, in the first two days of your creation, you have been given hands, the right hand to receive in the mercy of El Elyon, and the left to take the strength of YHVH, your Elohim. 
And being able to give and take in righteousness, in the third day of your creation, you were given compassion to see the beauty (Tif’eret) of the creation of YHVH, for YHVH is the Creator. 
And the beauty of this, the creation of Yah YHVH, neither gives nor takes, therefore it is neither to the right nor to the left upon that tree that doth grow in faith upon thy heart. 
¶Yet to see the fullness of this creation, Ha’Elohim should give thee feet to walk upon the path; 
Therefore, the fourth day of this creation thy right foot is planted in eternity (Netzach) that you should receive of the goodness of the path. 
And thy left foot is planted in thy submission to YHVH, for the glory (Hod) of El Elyon, that thou should receive all that Yah doth have for thee, and this is the fifth day. 
¶ And so it is that on the sixth day of this creation, you are given the very foundation (Yesod) that your feet shall be planted in their walk, neither going in nor out, right nor left, but straight to God (Israel). 
And this too, like the crown of YHVH and the beauty of this creation, is neither to the right nor to the left upon that tree whose seed did grow from the Word of the Torah that was planted in thy heart. 
Therefore, the kingdom (Malchut) is the seventh day of this creation, also being neither to the right nor to the left, for it is upon that straight path of understanding (Binah) hidden upon thy heart. 
¶ And behold, this is the tree that has taken root within thee, springing up unto everlasting life, 
And this because of thy diligence, and thy faith, and thy patience with the Word of the Torah, for you have nourished it, that it hath taken root in you. 
And the fruit of the tree of life everlasting (En Sof) is most precious, being sweet above all that is sweet, and white above all that is white, and pure above all that is pure; 
Therefore, eat of it with patience and long-suffering, that you shall never hunger nor thirst again.

Chapter 8

The Mantel of Righteousness.

And it came to pass that the malak, Haniel, did come forth unto me, saying: In that day that Zipporah and I did go unto the mountain of Ha’Elohim, YHVH did speak unto us, saying: 
Ye shall make this known to men and women who are righteous and pure and faithful, whose hearts are united, and in whose mouth is no deceit; 
They who lie not with their tongues, and who deceive not with their lips; they who grasp not with their hands and are not lustful with their eyes; 
They who depart from uncleanliness, from defilement, keeping themselves holy, and doing all that I, YHVH, their Elohim, do instruct of them. 
And tell them that they are not to defile themselves with the dead, nor are they to sleep on the places of the dead, that they not be defiled by sleeping spirits. 
¶ And it came to pass that a plague did come over me, for where should we find such as these? 
And now I do see that one such as this doth stand before me now; therefore, today take off thy cloak and you shall engrave upon it the seal, and in the middle of it you shall put the signs and the symbols. 
And all that Raziel (רזיאל God is my secret) did teach thee is the meaning of the seal, and it is a seal between YHVH, your Elohim, and thee; for that seal is the very emanations (ספירוֹת) of YHVH. 
And what then is this emanation? It is the outpouring of the Ruach HaKodesh, the very breath of Elohim. 
¶ When YHVH Elohim created this world, El Elyon did breathe both justice (Gevurah) and mercy (Chesed) into it, 
For being omnipotent, YHVH did know that there should be both good and evil, for there must needs be that there is opposition in all things: 
If this were not so, there could not be life nor death, holiness nor wickedness, corruption nor incorruption. 
¶ And I do see that thou, Zenock, have both acted and been acted upon; 
Therefore, you do know the taste of the bitterness of sin and death, and the sweet taste of that tree of life that doth grow within thy heart. 
Wherefore, know too that YHVH Elohim did grant unto mankind their agency, to act for themselves; 
Therefore, YHVH Elohim hath given you to choose, even as YHVH did give thy father, Adam, and thy mother, Eve, to choose for yourselves, good from evil. 
And thus is the agency of mankind, and the condemnation of the world: 
Mankind is and was from before the beginning of this creation, and being given the light, death must come to they who receive not that light. 
¶ And now, I shall tell thee that the image of that tree shall be carved upon the mantel of righteousness with the two symbols (letters) to represent that tree as seen looking up into the heavens, and as it is seen when looking down upon the earth. 
¶ And now, I see that you do have the herbs of the apothecary made into that holy ointment, even as Moses and Zipporah were instructed; 
Therefore, you shall use it to anoint thy cloak, to make it holy unto YHVH, and thou shall fast for these seven days, 
¶ And it shall not be for you to eat of any meat, nor anything that cometh from a living thing, neither meat, nor milk, nor eggs, nor fish, nor honey; 
Yea, but thou shall eat the meat of the plants and touch nothing that is unclean. 
¶ And thou shall bathe every night, washing thy hands in salt three times a day; once in the morning, once in the mid-day, and once in the evening, before thou should bathe. 
And thou shall keep your thoughts pure, and speak peace with all that cross thy path, and I shall return unto thee in time and instruct thee further. 
¶ And so it was that I did fast, even as I was instructed, and I did meditate upon the Torah daily, 
And so I did study from the words that were passed down from mouth to ear, and from the writings of the Torah upon the night sky. 
And in my study of that Torah, given us by YHVH, our Elohim, in His great mercy, and in showering us with His great love, I did see that Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh did speak, and so everything is. 
Therefore, Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh, the Creator, is The One Who Bestows, and we the creation are she who doth receive: 
And this then is the condescension (Hebrew: צמצום, tzimtzum) of YHVH Elohim, 
And by His Grace (teshuvah) mankind is given the power to both receive of the goodness of YHVH, and to grant mercy unto the creation in His name, that we take not the name of YHVH upon ourselves in vain. 
¶ And it came to pass that after so many days, Haniel did come again unto me, and he did ask of my cloak; 
And so, I did offer to place my cloak in his hand, but Haniel did speak unto me, saying: Nay, but it is holy; therefore place it there before me. 
Wherefore I did remove it from off of me, and I did place it before him. 
And he did teach me of the use of it, and did send me to the village, that I might go unto the Priest, so to make an offering of sacrifice that I might give it to feed the poor and the needy. 
¶ And so it was that as I headed North, to the village I had seen along the way, I did wonder of it, for what should I give for a sacrifice unto YHVH? 
And I did pitch my tent in the wilderness (Mormon) along the way. 
¶ And it came to pass that as I did walk along the road, I did find a young ram trapped by the way as rocks had fallen upon him. 
And I did see and observe that though the rocks had fallen upon the he goat, I saw that his bones were not broken, and that he was fit for sacrifice; 
Therefore, I did bind him up and take him, the ram YHVH did give unto me for a sacrifice and I did call that place Bethe Hayil YHVH (בית האיל יהוה; House of the Ram of YHVH).

(The Third Section on the Plates)

Chapter 9

A Flash of Lightning

And it came to pass that upon returning to that cave, I did come across a man of the stick of Manasseh who had pitched his tent in the wilderness (Mormon) whose name was Baraq, son of Laman. 
And the Voice did speak unto me, saying: Go and enquire of this man. 
Therefore, I did put away my cloak from before him, that I should keep holy and that he should not see my righteousness (צדק). 
And so it was that I did come up unto him, that I should join him by his fire, saying: I come in peace, praise be unto YHVH, our Elohim, and the Elohim of our fathers! 
¶ And now, being alone, Baraq did speak unto me not, therefore I did speak again, saying even with an oath, that he need not fear, 
And I did ask him why for he should go down alone into the wilderness (Mormon). 
¶ And it came to pass that he did speak unto me, saying: Why for doth thou bother me with thy words, but come and eat, and find rest with me, 
And how shall you say that I be alone man in the wilderness; for is not YHVH Elohim with us? Is any man ever truly alone? 
Wherefore did I speak unto him, saying: I should be honored to be in the midst of thy presence, only let me offer you of my bread also, that I should ask of you, giving back nothing in return. 
¶ And so it was that I did give unto him manna to eat, even the very manna that I had gathered up from out of that cave, 
For the malak did give it to me to carry in my journey when he did send me forth, and it faileth not. 
¶ And it came to pass that when this man, Baraq, did eat of the manna, he was stirred up, and he did marvel, saying: 
What is this (manna) that you do give unto me, for when I eat of it, I remember the Word of the Torah, which doth say: 
YHVH shall give you in the evening flesh to eat and in the morning bread to the full, for that YHVH heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against Him. 
¶ And I did reply unto him, saying: And Israel called the name thereof manna; and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey. 
¶ And Baraq did open his mouth again, saying: I see that you are a man of El Elyon; therefore, let us talk. 
¶ And I did answer him, saying: Of what should we discuss? 
¶ And Baraq did answer me, saying: Of the Torah, that we may both learn to know our mitzvot. 
¶ And I did answer him, saying: Doth thou have the secret wisdom of YHVH, or the knowledge of Yah that I might learn it? 
¶ And Baraq did sit upright and open his mouth, saying: I see that cloak you desired to be hidden from me; therefore, I do see thy righteousness (צדק). 
When hence hath thou cometh, and where doth thou goest; for I do perceive that you have been in the presence of malakim; 
Therefore, impart on me all thou hast heard, and teach it unto me, the knowledge you have acquired. 
¶ And so it was that I did open my mouth unto him, and being filled with the Breath of Elohim, I did speak, saying: 
Knowledge and wisdom are as two candles of similar height and flame; 
And when one is lit it will illuminate the room, but when the second is lit, the room will be illuminated even greater still. 
But when that flame is put out in the morning, though the light of them shall be gone from the room to be replaced by the light of the sun, you shall still smell the smoke of it; 
Therefore, all shall know the light that was good, and when the sun shall go down, the candles may be lit, 
But even in the darkness, when the flames are put out, the smell of it shall be known to those that seek it and are aware. 
My soul doth find delight then, even in the darkness of night, for the scent of the candle is there, wherefore do I know that the Breath shall come upon me, and I shall know. 
For when the nephesh (Hebrew נפש, “soul”) doth sleep, the Breath (ruach) shall awaken my soul to the path that the light of YHVH be poured upon me from on high. 
¶ And Baraq did look upon me and marvel, and he did ponder on this for a time. 
¶ And it came to pass that after a time Baraq did open his mouth and speak again unto me, saying: 
How great is the number of they who take no interest in such things, for the knowledge of this world bringeth death, but the Word of the Torah bringeth life. 
I pray that my soul is awakened, even as YHVH did breathe upon Adam that they did live, may I live also; 
Therefore, I did come here, to read the Torah in the stars, and here did I pray that YHVH Elohim should send a servant of Yah that I might learn my mitzvoth. 
I desire to behold Adam, as he sits with Eve upon their thrones in the Garden, rejoicing over all they who find teshuvah and seek to be Israel (straight to God) in their hearts and cease to do evil in the sight of Yah. 
¶ For my father, Laman, hath said: I dreamed a dream, and in my dream all the souls that lacked not the justice of YHVH, and all the souls that did see that mercy of YHVH; 
And these did gather with Adam (mankind) and Eve (life) having journeyed upon the path; 
And YHVH, our Elohim, did accept the sacrifices of all they that came unto Him with a pierced heart, being hearers of the Torah, and having fulfilled their mitzvoth. 
¶ And having talked with Baraq all through the night, I did see that the sun was rising; therefore, did I get up with him, and I did journey with him back to the house of his father.

Chapter 10

The Creation.

And it came to pass that as we walked to the house of Laman, that Baraq, son of Laman did speak unto me, saying: 
Tzaddiq (Righteous One), you are wise; therefore, tell me, how should it be that everyone will study the Torah? Or are not all given to study the Word? 
¶ And I did reply unto him, saying: Call me not Righteous One (Tzaddiq), for I am but a humble man, and only YHVH is righteous. 
It is true that all mankind shall be given to know the Torah, were it not so, her words would not be written upon the night sky; 
Yet not all shall know her, nor shall all understand her wisdom nor her secrets; therefore, only a foolish man should say unto his brother: You do not know the Torah, 
And this because everyone shall be given her secrets in her time, as she doth uncover herself before them, and not by the time nor by the reckoning of mankind. 
¶ There is one wisdom to see, one wisdom to hear, and one wisdom to know the secrets of YHVH Elohim; 
Yet there is a greater secret still, and that is the second: to know oneself. 
For one to know who they are, how they are created, from where they did come before this earth, and wither they shall go— 
All shall be given such an account of this when they do stand before Ha’Elohim. 
But to know one’s own heart! 
This is the very purpose of the Torah, and why YHVH did write it on the night sky, and why YHVH did give it to Moses with His finger upon the sapphire tablets. 
¶ When a person knows their own heart, then do they know YHVH Elohim and the secrets of the whole of this creation; 
Therefore, anyone that should seek out the secrets and the mystery of the Torah, she will show them the light that is YHVH, our Elohim, and she will show them the gate to their own soul: 
To know thy mitzvoth and to do it, this is justice, but good deeds alone shall be not a sacrifice unto salvation; by thy heart shall YHVH lift thee up on high. 
¶ If one should read the Torah, go and do; if thou will live the covenant then you shall hear the Voice and hearken, giving aid unto thy brother. 
¶ And Baraq did ask of me, saying: O Tzaddiq, is this then what our father, Abraham, did teach us of what did come before the creation? 
¶ And I did answer him, saying: There is nothing before Yah, nothing before YHVH, and nothing before Ha’Elohim; therefore, there can be nothing before the creation. 
For even as Abraham did say: Michael (one who is like God) did speak, saying: We will go down, for there is space there. 
And where should they go if there was no space for them? 
¶ And so too did Moses teach us by the Torah, saying: And the Earth, she was empty, and chaos filled her; 
And YHVH did cause darkness to come up upon the face of the endless abyss; and Ruach Elohim did move upon The Presence of the Waters, 
And YHVH did say: Let there be Creation; and thus did the work of creation begin. 
¶ Do not both of these words speak truth? 
For by the words of our father, Abraham, this creation was always there, and even by the voice of the friend of YHVH, Moses this creation was before the beginning. 
¶ And Baraq did answer me, saying: O Tzaddiq, I perceive that Moses did speak truth, for did not our father, Abraham, also teach us, saying: 
And YHVH did speak, saying: Let us go down, at the beginning; and Ha’Elohim did give shape unto the heavens and the earth. 
¶ And I did open my mouth unto Baraq, saying: Chasid (faithful one), I see this is truth, yet there is a contradiction, for how did YHVH and Ha’Elohim create that which did exist? 
Behold, I shall tell it unto thee, even as our father, Abraham, did say: 
YHVH was with Yah from before the beginning, and they did create Ha’Elohim, even as the Torah doth say: 
In knowledge and in wisdom did YHVH create the Elohim, and the Heavens, and the Earth. 
¶ And so it was that YHVH did speak, and Ha’Elohim did obey, and thus was this creation made; therefore, all things were made by YHVH Elohim; 
And without Him was not anything made that was made, and so it is that the four worlds were created by the very Word of YHVH. 
¶ The one who is like unto El (Michael) is full of wisdom and life, but there was another full of smoke and death, and he did seek to create darkness and strife. 
But YHVH doth know all things; therefore, YHVH did know that a sacrifice should be made that the sun, the moon, and the stars (Israel) should be born. 
Wherefore YHVH should descend below all things, and this that all should be, and if not, then nothing is. 
¶ And YHVH did speak unto Michael, saying: You shall go down; and Michael did go down, and this did anger the other, and this must be that there be opposition in all things. 
¶ And YHVH did say: I will go down, and I will be that sacrifice, that the sun, and the moon, and the stars (Israel) should be born. 
¶ And now we see that the word of the Torah, given to us by YHVH through His servant, Moses, does teach us, saying: 
And mankind became a living soul; which is to say: And mankind became a speaking spirit. 
¶ And so it was that Adam did fall that mankind might be, even as our father, Abraham did teach us: 
How can YHVH live if He is not born of a woman that He might die and take up his life again? 
Wherefore, YHVH must first be quickened; and even so, through Him shall I and my seed be quickened, and shall live. 
¶ And so it is that mankind shall be saved, everyone passing through the four worlds and receiving of the ten emanations (ספירוֹת) of YHVH. 
¶ And Baraq did answer me, saying: O Tzaddiq, call me not faithful one, for only YHVH is faithful. 
But I pray thee, what then is the purpose unto YHVH for His Israel to offer up sacrifices and to do the mitzvoth if all is in vain? 
Why then study the Word of the Torah, given us from YHVH unto Moses, and passed down unto every generation from mouth to ear, if this be not pleasing unto YHVH? 
Does not the study of the Torah bring one to perform their mitzvoth? 
And if a man should perform his duty, is he not loved throughout the land, blessed with good crops and with riches from Ha’Elohim above? Is this not salvation? 
¶ And I did open my mouth to answer him, saying: Chasid, do you not see that the wicked man may also prosper in the land by the faith of the righteous ones (qaddish)? 
The well of the evil man does not run dry, nor the rain cloud cease when the rain doth move over his lands; 
Therefore, the rewards of this world may come and go unto the just and the unjust, the righteous man and the wicked man, the faithful wife and the adulterous husband; 
Yah, and YHVH and Ha’Elohim (יה ויהוה והאליהם) then is not a respecter of persons.

Chapter 11

Eternal Life.

And Baraq did ponder this for a time, and it came to pass that he did open his mouth again, speaking unto me, saying: 
O Tzaddiq, what then are these four worlds, and how shall I know of them? 
¶ And so it was that I did speak unto him, saying: Hear me, Chasid, and I will tell thee only what the malakim of YHVH have uttered unto me: 
The first is the divine understanding from before the beginning; therefore, it has no beginning and no end. 
The second is the spirit of this creation, without which there is not life; therefore, it is all that came before the creation of this world. 
The third is the physical form of this creation; therefore, it is all you see, touch, desire, and feel in this world. 
The fourth is the soul that lives when YHVH doth breathe the breath of life upon us; therefore, it is to be born again. 
And there shall come a fifth and final world, which is all four worlds being one; therefore, it is the restoration when we shall awaken unto eternal life. 
¶ And Baraq did speak unto me again, saying: Tzaddiq, what does this mean to awaken unto eternal life? 
¶ And I did answer him, saying: Behold, O Chasid, it is even as this, in this creation there is water, wind, fire, and dust (earth); each of these doth make up this creation: 
The first world, it is as water, for the Torah does say: Ruach Elohim did move upon The Presence of the Waters. 
And that second world, it is even as the wind, for the Torah does say: YHVH did breathe into the nostrils of mankind the Breath of Life; and does not the wind blow even as it goes, passing even as a shadow? 
And that third world is as the dust of the earth, for the Torah doth say: And YHVH Elohim did take from the dust of the earth and did breathe life into mankind. 
And the fourth world is even as fire, for the Torah does say: The flesh of Moses and Zipporah became as fire. 
Wherefore it must be that the whole Adam, the finished Adam, the Adam Elyon must be all of these; 
And this is not a creation that mankind can make of themselves; therefore, it must be the very work of YHVH, our Elohim. 
¶ And Baraq did open his mouth again unto me, saying: What then of this creation, Tzaddiq, if it hath no beginning and no end? How be it the creation? 
¶ And I did answer him, that his ears be open, saying: Chasid, see you not that this creation is the formation of YHVH, the foundation? 
For YHVH Elohim is not one who did create, but is the Creator, he who (re)creates in His image, 
For doth not the Torah say: Let us make mankind in our image? Therefore, YHVH Elohim, El Elyon, El Olam hath made us and (re)made us in the very image of Ha’Elohim. 
¶ And so it was that after this manner we did continue to speak one to another, mouth to ear, until we did reach the house of Laman.

Chapter 12

The House of Laman.

And it came to pass that we did journey to the house of Laman, and there, Laman did greet his son, kissing him upon the cheek, 
And so it was that when Laman did see that his son was returned to him safely that he did enquire of Baraq, asking: Who is this? 
And Baraq did answer his father, saying: My father, this is Zenock, the Tzaddiq (Righteous One), from him have I gained much wisdom! 
¶ And then did I reply unto Laman, saying: Master (adon), I am thy servant; but call me not Righteous One (Tzaddiq), for I am but a humble man, and only YHVH is righteous. 
¶ And Laman did answer me, saying: This is well said; therefore, call me not Lord (adon), for only YHVH reigneth, sitting upon the throne of His holiness. 
¶ And Baraq, in his haste, did speak unto his father, saying: Hear Zenock, father; for he is wise in the wisdom of El Olam! 
¶ And it came to pass that Laman did bring us into his house, and did offer us bread and wine; and then it was that He did speak unto me, asking: 
Tell me then, what is the wisdom of El Olam, and how dost thou know it? 
¶ And I did answer him, saying: Lord, I, thy servant, shall speak it unto you, even as I do understand it; 
But I am a simple man, so I pray thee, give me thy pity for the poorness of my speech. 
¶ And speaking by the Breath that was upon me, I did speak, saying: The Torah does teach us: 
In knowledge and in wisdom did YHVH create Ha’Elohim, and the Heavens, and the Earth. 
Wherefore, the first wisdom is this: to know YHVH Elohim, and to know YHVH is to love YHVH, our Elohim, with one heart, and with one soul, and as one wholly. 
And this wisdom is the perfect love; yea, it is a love that changeth not, but abides with us, for this is how Elohim Shaddai loveth us, His creation. 
¶ And the Torah does teach us: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself; I am YHVH, thy Elohim. 
Wherefore, all of this, the creation, is our neighbor; if we do love the Creator, then we show this love by our love for this creation. 
And this wisdom is the perfect (or complete) knowledge of the Creator and the creation; for how can a man take a wife that is a widow and love her but not love her children? 
Therefore, if Israel is to love YHVH, our Elohim, then we will love all of His creation. 
¶ And the Torah does teach us: Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place. 
Wherefore, even as all of Israel hath been given of the mercy of YHVH Elohim, so too shall we be one Israel; 
For the Torah doth also say: Hear, O Israel: YHVH is our Elohim; YHVH is unity. 
Wherefore, if YHVH be Unity, then Israel too must be unity, for Israel is the creation of YHVH, our Elohim that Ruach HaKodesh and the Shekinah be upon us. 
And this wisdom is the perfect wisdom, that we do see the unity of all the things that YHVH Elohim hath created. 
¶ And the Torah does teach us: And YHVH Elohim offered unto the people teshuvah, saying: Of every tree of the garden, thou mayest freely eat. 
Wherefore, teshuvah has been given us from the beginning; therefore, whence we know good from evil, let us do good. 
And this wisdom is the perfect mercy of YHVH, for El Elyon did show unto us to walk upon the way. 
¶ And the Torah does teach us: Calling upon Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh, Moses did receive strength. 
Wherefore we do see that in the judgement that Moses did judge, so too was he judged; 
And the judgment of Moses was not to cast out his brother, but to cast that adversary of doubt from out of himself. 
And I do say unto you now: That when a man knows the unity or oneness of YHVH Elohim, he knows the oneness of this creation and truly understands his mitzvoth; 
For the Torah does teach us truth, saying: Hear O Israel: YHVH is our Elohim; YHVH is Unity. 
And this wisdom is the perfect judgement, that we do judge not but in righteousness, which is to say, we only judge our own actions and our own deeds. 
¶ And the Torah does teach us: And YHVH will establish a covenant with Israel, with the circumcision of the heart, and this shall be the covenant between YHVH and Israel in all their generations. 
When the heart is pierced, it is the birth of a soul and we are born again; and if mankind is not born again, we cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven; 
And this is because when mankind is born again, the earth is healed, here a little and there a little, until all is as it was at the first. 
And thus does mankind become new creatures, and such born to inherit the kingdom of Yah, which is our birthright. 
Wherefore we see that in this does Israel perform her mitzvoth, and bring forth works of perfect righteousness (or bring forth the works to fulfill all righteousness), exceeding all beauty. 
¶ And the Torah does teach us: And YHVH did bless them, and did say unto them: Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 
Wherefore, so it must be that we increase our desires in righteousness, being the creation of YHVH Elohim, 
Being transformed from a carnal and fallen state to a state of righteousness, being redeemed of YHVH, becoming His sons and daughters. 
And now, is this not our eternal reward, to sit with Ha’Elohim and El Olam in the heavens? 
And if the earth and the heavens be one, then the creation is finished. 
But we see that the heaven and the earth are not one; therefore, it is the will of El Olam who is El Elyon that all they that walk in teshuvah is to teach his brother, 
Wherefore, here is wisdom; yet it is not wisdom in me, but wisdom in Elohim Shaddai, even El Olam. 
¶ And now, I do say unto you: The hidden wisdom is even this: when we serve our brothers we serve our Elohim; therefore, seek not to teach thy brother in wrath, but in service and in love. 
Wherefore, the eternal glory given mankind of YHVH Elohim is to plant thy feet firmly upon that foundation; for such is the kingdom.

Chapter 13

To Not Taste of Death.

And it came to pass that after this, Laman did speak unto me with his heart, saying: 
Tzaddiq, surely thou hast walked with the malakim of YHVH, for you do speak as one who does know. 
¶ And I did speak unto him with my mouth, saying: Call me not, Righteous One, for only YHVH Elohim is righteous. 
¶ And then I did speak unto Laman and Baraq, son of Laman, with my heart, saying: 
I shall tell you of the saying of the Malakim unto me, that you might teach your people; 
And all they who do learn of these words, to understand them, shall know the Torah and teach it also, and they shall not fear death, and some shall not even taste of death. 
¶ And here is truth: There is nothing hidden from mankind, for YHVH Elohim hath written His Torah in the night sky; 
But it is mankind that doth close his eyes to the teachings of YHVH, our Elohim. 
Mankind cannot see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, nor know that which they hold, 
And why is this? This is because they only see themselves in all things and not The Creator. 
¶ If mankind will but listen with their hearts, the very rocks and trees should teach us! 
And yet mankind builds a house upon a land they do not own, 
And we plant crops in a field that is not our own, 
And we pick up the sword to take or defend that which belongs to The Creator; 
Therefore, worry not what thou would do, what thou shall eat, or what thou shall wear, for YHVH Elohim did give all things unto you. 
¶ Stretch not thy hand out seeking more, but give generously of all that YHVH hath given you and worry not for El Elyon is watching over, for YHVH is El Roi. 
And if you have hope, that hope shall tell thee the very will of YHVH, our Elohim; 
And when you do know the will of Elohim Shaddai, then when you say: Move up out of thy place, this creation will hear and in the name of YHVH, the Creator, will obey. 
¶ And it came to pass that I did continue to speak unto Laman and Baraq, son of Laman, in this same manner all the day and all the night and even into the following day.

Chapter 14

The Priesthood of Life and the Priesthood of Eternal Life.

And it came to pass that when we had finished pouring over the things of YHVH Elohim, that Laman and Baraq, son of Laman, did desire to be washed clean in the living water to fulfill all righteousness. 
Wherefore, I did take them unto a running stream, and there I did speak unto them, saying: 
If ye be willing to mourn with those that do mourn, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and be willing to bear the burdens of others that they be light, 
Then ye do truly be desirous to come into the fold of YHVH, to be called Israel. 
¶ And it came to pass that Laman and Baraq, son of Laman, did speak unto me, saying: This is the desire of our hearts. 
And so it was that I did take them into the water to wash them. 
And before washing Laman, I did pray unto El Elyon, saying: Having authority, given me of Elohim Shaddai, I do wash thee in the name of YHVH Elohim, that you be clean unto eternal life. 
And so it was that I did take Baraq, son of Laman, into the water and I did wash him likewise that he be clean also. 
¶ And it came to pass that after we did come up out of the water that Laman did ask of me, saying: What is this that thou hast been given of YHVH that you should say these things? 
¶ And I did speak unto him, saying: The Torah, given unto us from Moses, mouth to ear, doth teach us, saying: 
There are two Priesthoods: the Priesthood of an Endless Life; and the Priesthood of Life; 
And so it is that in the Priesthood of an Endless Life are two Orders; and these be that of Talmidim and of the Priests and Priestesses. 
¶ And of the Talmidim there are four degrees; that of Mechoqek (Hebrew מְחוֹקֵק, “lawgiver”) being the first degree, 
And these are they who are the Talmid (Hebrew תלמיד, “disciple” or “student,” here refering to an Apostle), and a Prophet, and a Seer, and one who does reveal the will of YHVH, your Elohim, and that doth know the languages. 
And there is one called to this first degree that doth give the Torah of God even from his mouth. 
¶ And there is another one called to the second degree, to be a counselor unto the other; and they are a prophet, a seer and sar (Hebrew סַר, “prince” or “ruler”): 
And this we see in Moses, the lawgiver and Zipporah, the councilor; he being the first degree, and she being the second; and these being one, even as YHVH is One. 
¶ And that of Tsiyr (Hebrew צִיר, “ambassador” or “envoy”) is the third degree; and these are they who are Talmidim, and of these there shall be twelve; 
And they shall be talmidim and tsiyr (ambassadors or witnesses) to the foreigners, and teachers in all places where the Mechoqek shall send them. 
And we did see that Moses did call twelve men and twelve women, one from each tribe. 
¶ And that of musar is the fourth degree, that of the evangelist; and these are seven talmidim, and tsiyr of Israel, to where they are sent. 
¶ And of the Priests and Priestesses of this order, there are two degrees; that of High Priests and High Priestess is the first, and that of Elder is the second degree. 
And we know that Moses did call men and women of all the tribes to these, 
And we do wear the tzitzits to show that Israel is a nation of kings and queens, and priests and priestesses; 
Therefore, we know that the Levites do their duties unto YHVH, and that Ha’Elohim doth call others of the tribes, for are we not all Israel? 
¶ And Moses did teach us by the Word of the Torah, saying: And the Levites shall serve in the Priesthood of Life; 
And in that Priesthood of Life there are three; that of the Priests and the Priestesses, and that of the Teachers, and that of the Shamashim. 
And of the Shamashim there shall be three degrees, and of the Teachers there shall be five degrees; and of the Priests and Priestesses there shall be two degrees. 
¶ And there shall be a Chief Priest from amongst the Priests of the Priesthood of Life, and there shall be a Chief Priestess from amongst the Priestesses of the Priesthood of Life, 
And there shall also be a first and second High Priest and a first and second High Priestess; 
And a leader of each division (or group) of Priests and of each division of Priestesses, and this to every Temple throughout the land, once it be established. 
And this Priesthood shall be divided into groups, according to the nature of their duties; 
And there shall be those set apart in the several divisions, to guide and direct them in the mitzvoth of their division. 
¶ And these are the words of Moses, given us by the Torah from his mouth to our ears, even unto this day. 
Wherefore, when ye should ask of me: What is this that thou hast been given of YHVH that you should say these things? 
Know then that it is the Priesthood of Endless Life that YHVH hath bestowed upon me, by the hands of His malakim, for in the hands of YHVH Elohim are all the keys given of Yah; 
Therefore, I am of they who are called by the order of Yah, yea, even after the order of His Son. 
¶ And it came to pass that I did lay my hands upon Laman and Baraq, son of Laman, and pass down these very same keys, in the wisdom of YHVH and for a wise purpose unto YHVH. 
And then did Laman and Baraq, the son of Laman, go back down into that living water and wash one another even after the same manner in the which I had washed them clean.

Chapter 15

The Vision of Zenock.

And it came to pass that Baraq did ask me of the wars of the nation of Israel, for Israel and Judah are not one, saying: 
Is it the end? And how shall it be that the end should come? 
¶ And it came to pass that I did bow down unto YHVH Elohim in prayer, and when I had opened my eyes, I was in vision. 
¶ And in the last days I did see a great army that did overthrow a foreign power, that peace should be proclaimed throughout the land; 
For in the last days, after the Yachad Yachid Echad should come, for the Yachad (the one who unites us) is the very Messiah of the world, full of Grace and truth forever and ever; 
And I did see that after the Yachad did come, that the Levites were forbidden to sacrifice blood, except it should be for the meat of them to feed the poor; 
For the Yachad, who is the Messiah of the world, should be the last sacrifice of blood, and the covenant of Abraham shall again be remembered, that of the broken heart and contrite spirit. 
¶ And I did see that when that mighty army did break the chains of their oppressors, they did cry out unto the people, saying: 
Go thy way! Go back to your homes! And we shall be your protection; therefore, fear not! 
And I did see that the people did go about their way, and they did look to the strength of that mighty army that stood in the name of YHVH Elohim, and troubled themselves not. 
¶ And I did see in my vision that it came to pass that the armies did close up the temples and would not let the people in, even as the Levites today let not the people of Israel in. 
But behold! I did see that because of that great and everlasting sacrifice of the Yachad, YHVH did call up all of Israel into His house, and there YHVH did bless them; 
Yet that army would not let the people into the temples of YHVH, though they be the people of Israel; 
Yea, and only they that were faithful unto that great army would they let pass through the gates. 
¶ But I was in vision; therefore, they could not keep me out of their temples, and I did see, and I do know. 
And behold, I did see that there in those temples, that they did sacrifice the blood of calves, and of goats, and of rams, and of the fowl of the air unto YHVH, and the people did know it not. 
¶ And YHVH Elohim was displease; therefore, YHVH did call upon His seers, and His prophets and His prophetesses. 
¶ And these did speak unto the people, saying: See now, O people of Israel! 
These mighty armies defend our borders with a strong and mighty hand, yet they do not serve YHVH, our Elohim. 
And YHVH hath cried out unto us, saying: Wherein do they give alms to the poor? Wherein do they seek to unite my Israel, saith YHVH? 
By these do they reject my sacrifice, the blood of the Yachad Yachid Echad being spilt in vain, 
For these do sacrifice the blood of the beasts of the field and the fowl of the air, thus taking my name in vain, saith YHVH. 
¶ Did I not say: And your sacrifices and your burnt offerings shall be done away, for I will accept none of your sacrifices and your burnt offerings; 
But ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a broken heart and a contrite spirit; for behold, by me redemption cometh, and in me is the Torah of Moses fulfilled; 
Therefore, whoso walketh in teshuvah, to come unto me even as a little child, these will I receive; for of such is the kingdom of Yah. 
Behold, for such I have laid down my life and have taken it up again; therefore, repent, and come unto me, all ye ends of the earth, and be saved. 
¶ And I did ask, saying: What is this? 
¶ And I did see the angel of YHVH before me, and he did show unto me that Yachad Yachid Echad; 
That when He shall walk this earth, that He should feed the poor, and He should heal the sick, and He should raise the dead, 
And many more things shall He do when He will walk this earth, so many that I cannot write them all. 
¶ And I saw Him, the Yachad Yachid Echad; and men did come to take Him, and I asked again, saying: What is this? 
¶ And the angel of YHVH did answer me, saying: Behold, the Elohim of Abraham, and the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob yieldeth Himself as a man into the hands of wicked men. 
And I did see and behold that this man was taken to be lifted up. 
¶ And I did see that YHVH Elohim shall surely visit all the house of Israel at that day, 
Some with His voice because of their righteousness, unto their great joy and salvation, and others with the thunderings and the lightnings of His power. 
Yea, and by tempest, by fire, and by smoke, and vapor of darkness, and by the opening of the earth, and by mountains which shall be carried up. 
¶ And as for those who are at Jerusalem, they shall be scourged by all people; 
And this is because they did crucify the Elohim of Israel and turn their hearts aside, rejecting signs and wonders, and the power and glory of the Elohim of Israel; 
¶ And now, because they would turn their hearts aside, and have despised the Holy One of Israel, they shall wander in the flesh, and perish, and become a hiss and a byword, and be hated among all nations. 
Nevertheless, when that day cometh that they no more turn aside their hearts against the Holy One of Israel, then will YHVH remember the covenants which He did make unto their fathers; 
Yea, and all the earth shall see the salvation of YHVH, and every nation, kindred, tongue, and people shall be blessed. 
¶ Wherefore, I do know that the Messiah, the very Yachad Yachid Echad, shall come among the children of men, 
To take upon Himself the transgressions of His people, and that He shall atone for the sins of the world; for I have seen it. 
And I did ask with my heart, saying: What then of the nation of Judah and her people, shall YHVH, our Elohim forget His covenant with her? 
¶ And the angel of YHVH did speak unto me, saying: Which is the greater servant, they who serve their master for the sake of their reward, or they who do what is required them because it is their mitzvoth? 
In other words: Which is the greater servant, they who doth serve their master for the sake of reward, or the servant who doth serve that the task be done in righteousness? 
Behold, I say unto you: That they who do what is required them for the sake of the covenant shall have not but the reward of the covenant, 
But they who do their mitzvoth because the kingdom of Heaven is born inside of them, to these come the true reward: 
For the glory of Heaven truly doth belong to them, and none can ever take their birthright from them, 
And great shall be their inheritance for they shall be given all that Yah YHVH hath. 
¶ Wherefore, worry not, for YHVH shall be ever watchful over His Israel. 
Though the world will scorn them, yet YHVH Elohim does not forget His Israel, and the world shall see the love YHVH does have for His people.

Chapter 16

The Vision of Zenock, continued.

And now, having been granted an understanding of these things, I was taken again in vision unto the last days. 
And I did see that the people of YHVH Elohim, they that would be Israel, they did find peace in their hearts insomuch that the mighty arm of they who did overthrow the first oppressors were themselves overcome; and they did flee from before Israel. 
And they did not make war with weapons nor with arms, but they did live in such peace that any that were sent to make war with them were converted by the power of the voice of their hearts; 
For these did not focus on their words, but on their actions, and their works were the works of El Olam, and El Alohykm, which is to say, The All Powerful Ones. 
¶ And though war did continue all around Zion, no one did dare to contend with Zion, for she was Israel in her heart and the fear of men was not in her. 
And any armies that did dare to fight against Zion only saw their men throw down their weapons of war and run, fleeing to Zion; 
Therefore, the mighty arm of mankind did teach his people against Zion and did say unto them: 
Who is Zion? Run off! For none can find her! And they that do shall be devoured by her cunning. 
And this made the people afraid, yet those that did seek Israel, these I did see that the Voice did bring them into Zion. 
¶ And though Israel should be shattered and scattered, I did see that YHVH did bring them all home in Yachad Yachid Echad, the very Messiah of the Heavens and the Earth. 
And I did see that all the wars of mankind did melt away from before my eyes, and in their place, I did see a new heaven and a new earth. 
¶ And the Zion of the Heavens did come down, and was one with the earth, and the new Jerusalem, the city of peace, did bridge the creation with her Creator, never again to be apart. 
And El Olam, seated upon His throne, did look into the eyes of His Bride and say: All things are made new! 
¶ And the gates of the city of Zion, even that New Jerusalem, were always open, and the gates did not close from evening until morning, nor from morning til evening, 
And all they who did desire to enter did flow in freely, for they that were unclean desired it not, for they were sore afraid. 
¶ And then did I ask the angel of YHVH, saying: What is this? 
¶ And the Malak of YHVH did answer me, saying: Behold, from the beginning was the Torah taught unto mankind, and unto all they who did feel of the Breath of Ha’Elohim, being hearers of the Voice and doers of the Word also, are given the soul of the Torah. 
But the soul of the Torah is given only unto they who do seek after her, for she is not hidden yet must be revealed for the plainness of her; 
For the soul of mankind doth delight in the plainness that they might learn the things of YHVH, and after this manner doth YHVH Elohim work amongst the children of mankind. 
And the plainness of the soul of the soul of the Torah is written in the words of the Torah, 
And the Word is passed down from mouth to ear unto all they that have ears to hear, and written upon the night skies for all they who do have eyes to see. 
¶ The whole of creation is in mankind; the creation and the Breath of YHVH too be in mankind, should they seek to live; 
Therefore, what one man will do unto another he does unto himself, and the gift that one woman gives unto another she doth give unto herself. 
Wherefore, know that when one does judge another, they do only judge themselves; 
Therefore, judge only in righteousness which is to judge only to be thyself purified in YHVH Elohim. 
¶ And speaking unto the angel of YHVH with my heart, I did speak, saying: What is this? And what is this to do with what El Olam hath shone unto me? 
¶ And the angel of YHVH did answer me, saying: Behold, in the last days the restoration shall come, 
And it shall be a restoration of all things (tikkun olam), and this is what you did see before thine eyes. 
And the restoration is even as this: At the first mankind did seek to force his will on Ha’Elohim, 
But mankind (Adam) is created in the image of Ha’Elohim, not Ha’Elohim in the image of mankind; 
Therefore, the works of mankind done for salvation freely given in the covenant are in vain; 
But the love of YHVH Elohim given in the Torah, for all they who do learn their mitzvoth and do keep it, unto these are given to drink from the living waters of eternal life. 
And by the restoration of Israel shall the light of the Messiah shine forth to heal this, the creation of YHVH; 
And then shall all that was broken be restored, and the waste places rebuilt, and the ruins of the earth shall be made a garden; yea, this earth shall be Eden once again.

Chapter 17

The Marriage of Zenock and Sarah

And it came to pass that I did notice the daughter of Laman and the sister of Baraq, for the beauty of her radiance did shine like that of the sun, and her eyes, they did overcome me insomuch that I did desire to take her as my wife. 
And Laman, the son of Zenos, did see me looking upon Sarah, and he did give her unto me to be my wife, and I did let her possess me that I should be her husband. 
¶ And it came to pass that she did bare unto me four sons, and she did name them Joseph, and Zenoch, and Jacob, and the youngest of our sons she did name Zenos; 
Yea, and she did also bear me two daughters, and she did name the first Makhlah, and second she did name Rachel after our mother, the most beloved of the wives of our father, Jacob. 
And Joseph was the first-born of us, and Rachel the youngest of our seed, and I did bless them and set them apart. 
Yea, and I did bless my wife, and I did set her apart, a High Priestess unto YHVH, El Elyon, and the Voice did give unto her a new name, even Lyaurah (Hebrew, ליאורה “a light unto me,” “illumination” or “enlightenment”). 
¶ And it came to pass that after I did dwell with them in the house of Laman, serving him for ten years, that the angel of YHVH did come unto me, desiring that I should return to that cave. 
¶ And it came to pass that as we traveled, the Voice did speak unto me, and we did stop by merchants as they were resting in the wilderness in their travels. 
And I did speak unto Lyaurah, and she did know and she did understand, for she did know the ways of YHVH, our Elohim. 
And taking her hand, and placing it into the hand of that merchant, I did say unto him: Behold, thou art my brother, and she your wife, and these, thy children; so it must be that the Torah be kept, 
For Moses did say: And if brethren dwell together and one of them die and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger; the brother of her husband shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of a brother of that husband unto her. 
And now, you are also of the seed of Joseph; therefore, you are my brother, and I, I shall not live; therefore, behold my brother, this thy wife, and these thy children. 
¶ And it came to pass that he did swear an oath unto me to keep them and to serve them all the days of his life, 
And that all that he had should be given unto them, for his wife was barren and they had no seed, and they had gone before Ha’Elohim, even as our father, Abraham and our mother, Sarah, seeking heirs. 
And the angel of YHVH did speak unto them in a dream, saying El Olam did have seed for him, and that they should be given him in the wilderness; 
Therefore, this day the things of YHVH Elohim were come to pass, and he did rejoice for his petition had been granted. 
And it came to pass that I did return unto that cave a lone man, knowing my fate.

Chapter 18

The Journey to the Cave

And it came to pass that as I did continue my journey back to that cave, I was alone. 
¶ And it came to pass that as I walked, I was no longer alone, for one that appeared unto me as a man walked beside me, to tempt me; 
And as we walked, he did speak unto me, saying: Behold, my son, Zenock, thou should not fear death, for by me, if thou should desire it, thou shall live forever. 
And I did not speak unto him, for I did see him as he was, and I knew that he was not a man. 
¶ And he did speak again unto me, saying: Dost thou desire death then? 
¶ And I did open my mouth at this to speak, saying: I desire nothing more than the will of YHVH, my Elohim. 
¶ And he did speak unto me again, saying: Know not that I am thy creator? 
It is I that did create all things, not YHVH nor Ha’Elohim, and it is I that did give knowledge unto thy father, Adam, and thy mother, Eve, for I am thy creator: 
And I did give it unto them, the fruit of that tree to eat; therefore, did I not create them? 
And by that knowledge am I not wisdom? And by the very hands of thy fathers and thy mothers, did I not create this world? 
¶ And I did open my mouth again unto him, saying: I have stood in the Presence, and She is beyond thy light, 
And I have been taught by Ha’Elohim and the Malakim of El Olam; therefore, I know that thou art not the Creator: Get thee behind me, thou accuser! 
But he departed not, but continued speaking, saying: Thou speak of Ha’Elohim, yet it is I that did make thy father Adam and thy mother Eve to be gods: 
Behold, that wicked god, YHVH; he did rebel against me, saying: I am the Creator, and I shall save them! 
Yet he did give unto thee flesh, and I, I shall restore thee to spirit, from whence thou came. 
¶ And I did speak again unto him, saying: Because of YHVH, my Elohim, and the Yachad Yachid Echad my soul has been birthed inside of me, 
And I who have ever lived shall never die, and this body shall be restored again when He shall come in the flesh, and die upon that tree, and rise again that I too shall rise again; 
Therefore, even as I have lived from before forever, so too shall I rise up after Him and take again this flesh, 
From corruptible into incorruptible, never to die again, and take my place at His side. 
And under the covering of His wings, the nations shall find peace in His light. 
¶ And so it was that Samyaza (שמחזי) did speak again, saying unto me: And how was this messiah set apart? 
And why should He be sent into this world? And who are His gods (Elohim)? And to what realm shall you be sent? 
And if this world be made after that which is incorruptible, how then is it corruptible? Why has your Elohim made that which is weak, and thou saying He shall save now it? 
¶ And I did open my mouth and speak unto him again, saying: Get thee behind me, thou Satan. 
Hear now: YHVH is my Elohim, YHVH is Unity, YHVH is ONE, by the providence of YHVH is the creation governed. 
YHVH is the visible and the invisible; therefore, that which is beyond YHVH is vanity, for there is nothing beyond YHVH: YHVH is One. 
Nothing is above YHVH, none rule over YHVH, everything exists by YHVH, and nothing doth exist but by YHVH, for YHVH is El Olam. 
Even thou, O Satan, were created by YHVH, but YHVH was not created; 
Therefore the Yachad Yachid Echad is the Only Begotten, which is to say the only one to walk this earth fulfilling all the Torah; and I do nothing but His bidding; 
Therefore, thou art a fool to think thou art wisdom; thou are not made in His likeness, but to tempt mankind: 
And by your hand mankind did not fall, for you have not power here but that which thou art given; 
Therefore, any power over my father Adam, and my mother Eve was not anything thou could take, but only that which thou was given, 
For you are nothing before them, and even less than nothing before YHVH, our Elohim. 
And I also am nothing before El Olam, yet I was created in the very image of Ha’Elohim, for even as Moses did say: 
And YHVH did speak unto She which was with YHVH from the beginning, for Ha’Elohim are one from before the beginning, before the foundation of the world: Let us make mankind in our image, after our likeness; and it was so. 
And art thou made of the dust of this earth? No. You, O adversary, are not even made of the shadows of this world, you are permitted by YHVH to be in it, but not a part of it; 
Therefore, you have no power here, no authority over Ha’Elohim nor over mankind; 
Therefore it is YHVH that hath all power over life and death, the heavens and the earth, paradise and sheol. 
And Samyaza did speak again unto me in much anger, so that the very ground did shake, saying: 
I am wisdom, I am the womb of the universe, from me was everything that is come into being birthed, 
I am the Mother and the Father, I am the first among men, I am the very breath of Ha’Elohim; 
Yea, I am thrice and thrice (6) masculine, thrice and thrice (6) in knowledge in power, and thrice and thrice (6) named; 
Therefore I am the eternal realms, I am the invisible realms, I am the virgin most pure, 
I am life everlasting, and if thou wilt but bow down and worship me, thou shall not die, but live forever and glory be to me and to my name. 
And at this, because I did see him for who he was, for my eyes were open in grace and truth and purpose, inclination and precept and remembrance, understanding and love and thinking, knowledge and peace and wisdom: 
And I did see that he was perdition from before the creation of this world, and that he was once in the light, but not of that light; 
Therefore I did know and at this I did say unto him: Get thee behind me, Satan; in the name Yeshua Ha’Mashiach, Jesus who is the very Christ, depart from before me, thou and thy minions. 
And it came to pass that I did return to my journey to that cave once again a lone man, accepting of my fate.

Chapter 19

The Cave

And it came to pass that after a few days journey I did return back to that cave alone. 
¶ And it came to pass that as I entered, that I was no longer alone, for there stood before me one of the noble and great ones, a malak of YHVH. 
And he did speak unto me, saying: Behold, I am Ariel; therefore, hear thou through me the voice of YHVH. 
And I shall declare it unto you; for after ten years of study, and of prayer, and of supplication unto YHVH, the eyes of thy understanding were opened, and thou didst know. 
For thou wast given to travel four years to the north, and to the east for three years, and to the west for one year, and two years to the south; and in thy travels thou did walk upon the thirty-two paths. 
And behold, my name is Uriel; for by the light of YHVH thou shall see, and thou shall write down that which I shall tell thee that mankind might know. 
¶ When mankind is born again, their heart being pierced, they begin to journey upon the path; 
And the path is written upon the night sky that mankind should remember and not forget, 
For the ladder is given unto every generation, even as Moses, friend of YHVH, did lead Israel by the path for forty years in the wilderness. 
And now, I shall tell it unto thee, even as I did teach it to thy father, Adam and thy mother, Eve; 
And they did teach it unto all of their children, and their children’s children, even until Enoch, and in the city of Zion he did teach it unto the people of YHVH. 
And through his son, Noah, it was passed down until Melchizedek did teach it unto thy father, Abram who is Abraham and thy mother, Sarai who is Sarah; 
And they did teach it unto their sons and their daughters until Moses and his wife, who did learn it from the father of Zipporah, even Jethro. 
But it has become lost unto Israel, as to the meaning of it, and it shall be lost; therefore thou shall write it up that it should be read and studied, and learned by Israel in the last days. 
¶ In the beginning was YHVH, and YHVH did create the elohim through the emanations, and YHVH is Elohim; 
And of the elohim, the ten emanations that YHVH did create, YHVH did keep one hidden (understanding), and all the emanations being one; therefore, there are ten emanations not nine and not eleven, and these are twelve. 
And these emanations are seen in the divine, the temporal, and every human being that has ever walked this earth, that does now walk this earth, and ever will walk this earth; 
And this because all things that are made are the very creation of YHVH, and all is in all, and all doth be all, for all is one, even as YHVH is One (or YHVH is United). 
And these are the twelve emanations: eternal compassion (in temptation and in teshuvah) — eternally knowing — eternally wise— 
Eternally merciful — eternally just — eternal honor — eternal grace — eternal foundation — eternal sovereignty — 
Eternally knowing — eternally eternal, eternally infinite, eternal light; and is this not YHVH Elohim? 
¶ And there are ten emanations, and they may be seen reflected in the heavens as they move about in their own ways, and one is this earth upon which thou standeth, 
And they tell mankind of the beginnings of the days and the beginnings of the months and the beginnings of the years, and the years of Jubilee; 
And there are twenty-two symbols (letters) written upon the night sky, and all may be seen within the year, and these do mark the Holy Days and the seasons; and together these are the thirty-two paths. 
And one is the emanation of divine creation, and one is the emanation of knowledge and wisdom, and one is the emanation of wisdom and knowledge, 
And one is the emanation of merciful love and kindness, and one is the emanation of strength and judgment (discipline), and one is the emanation of beauty in harmony, 
And one is the emanation of victory in endurance, and one is the emanation of glory in humility, and one is the emanation of the covenant in foundation, 
And one is the emanation of sovereignty in the kingdom, and one is the emanation of understanding, and one is the emanation of eternal life. 
¶ And the garden of the thirty-two paths and these hold the three pillars: On the left is the Torah of Sapphire and the covenant; knowledge, strength, and majesty: Love YHVH, thy Elohim. 
On the right is the Torah of Emerald and of the temple; wisdom, mercy, and endurance: Love thy neighbor, for this is the creation of YHVH, thy Elohim. 
In betwixt these is the Torah of Marble and the straight path to God (Israel); harmony, foundation, and the kingdom: Love thyself, for thou art created in the very image of thy Elohim. 
All of these are one path in thirty-two paths of the Torah, the Rituals, and the very Kingdom of YHVH Elohim; straight is the gate and narrow is the way which leadeth unto eternal life.

Chapter 20

The Thirty-Two Paths

And the first path is Keter, the path of eternal light and life, the opening of the gate, returning to the light of YHVH Elohim, the beginning of the journey towards the divine reality. 
And the second path is Aleph, from Keter to Chokhmah and Chokhmah to Keter; the path of revealed wisdom, the revelation from the Breath of YHVH into mankind. 
And the third path Bet, from Keter to Da’at and Da’at to Keter; the path of divine knowledge, to know by the very Breath of YHVH, breathed into mankind. 
And the fourth path is Gimel, from Keter to Tif’eret and Tif’eret to Keter; the path of divine kingship and queenship, for in Israel every man is king and every woman is queen and so it is that the tzitzit is worn. 
And the fifth path is Da’at, the path of knowledge of good and evil, teaching us to see between truth and lies or reality and deception, leading mankind to judge themselves in righteousness by the authority and power given by YHVH. 
And the sixth path is Chokhmah, the path of wisdom and revelation, the revealed Word of YHVH, the great urim and thummim. 
And the seventh path is Dalet, the path from Chokhmah to Da’at and Da’at to Chokhmah; the path of Binah, understanding, the path of hidden mysteries revealed to those faithful to YHVH Elohim. 
And the eighth path is Hei, the path from Chokhmah to Chesed and Chesed to Chokhmah; the path of purity of faith, the refining balance between the creation and the Creator. 
And the ninth path is Vav, the path from Da’at to Tif’eret and Tif’eret to Da’at; the path of sanctification, the connection between the Creator and the creation through the covenant. 
And the tenth path is Zayin, from Chokhmah to Tif’eret and Tif’eret to Chokhmah; the path of the Shekinah, in wisdom standing in the Presence of YHVH Elohim. 
And the eleventh path is Chet, the path from Da’at to Gevurah and Gevurah to Da’at; the path of the divine fire, baptism by fire, divine inspiration and spiritual rebirth. 
And the twelfth path is Chesed, the path of mercy and divine vision; the mercy of YHVH giving birth to prophetic clarity and insight from the washing away of sin in teshuvah. 
And the thirteenth path is Gevurah, the path of oneness, through the fire of the atonement of the Son of Man, the Creator becomes one with His creation. 
And the fourteenth path is Tet, the path from Chesed to Gevurah and Gevurah to Chesed; the path of revelation, the light of divine wisdom given in the spirit of prophecy and revelation. 
And the fifteenth path is Yod, the path from Chesed to Netzach and Netzach to Chesed; the path of divine order, the formation of the structure of this creation. 
And the sixteenth path is Kaf, the path from Chesed to Tif’eret and Tif’eret to Chesed; the path of overcoming, the victory of the light over darkness and order over chaos. 
And the seventeenth path is Lamed, the path from Gevurah to Tif’eret and Tif’eret to Gevurah; the path of divine judgment, through the Voice, YHVH doth speak and His secrets are made known. 
And the eighteenth path is Mem, the path from Gevurah to Hod and Hod to Gevurah; the path of divine mediation (the path of the High Priest and High Priestess), through the power of YHVH given unto mankind (the Priesthood) the flow of divine power comes from the heavens to fill the earth. 
And the nineteenth path is Tif’eret, the path of beauty and hidden power; when the High Priest and High Priestess make the will of YHVH known, the miracle is seen. 
And the twentieth path is Nun, the path from Tif’eret to Netzach and Netzach to Tif’eret; the path of the covenant, the foundation of all righteousness is a longing to stand in the Presence of YHVH. 
And the twenty-first path is Samech the path from Tif’eret to Yesod and Yesod to Tif’eret; the path of the seeker, the quest for divine truth is rooted in YHVH. 
And the twenty-second path is Ayin, the path from Tif’eret to Hod and Hod to Tif’eret; the path of spiritual devotion, standing in faith mankind shall never let go of the rod of that tree that leads to eternal life. 
And the twenty-third path is Netzach, the path of endurance; the adversary will bring temptations and trials, but in YHVH Elohim truth shall outlast these. 
And the twenty-fourth path is Hod, the path of creation; through humility and submission to the will of YHVH mankind will do the will of YHVH and fulfill their creation. 
And the twenty-fifth path is Peh, the path from Netzach to Hod and Hod to Netzach; the path of overcoming, to know thyself, O man, is to deny thyself – thy ego – and to give up thyself to YHVH, love triumphs over sin and death. 
And the twenty-sixth path is Tzaddi, the path from Netzach to Malchut and Malchut to Netzach; the path of rebirth, through the Son of Man all are born anew, all they who come unto YHVH in teshuvah. 
And the twenty-seventh path is Qof, the path from Netzach to Yesod and Yesod to Netzach; the path of service, to serve mankind is to serve YHVH, to serve YHVH Elohim is to serve this creation. 
And the twenty-eighth path is Resh, the path from Hod to Yesod and Yesod to Hod; the path of nature (or the path of the divine creation of this world), YHVH rules over this world, for it is His creation, and the earth His footstool. 
And the twenty-ninth path is Shin, the path from Hod to Malchut and Malchut to Hod; the path of the sacred body, the flesh of mankind is the temple of YHVH, for the Breath doth dwell within. 
And the thirtieth path is Yesod, the path of support (foundation), here Zion will be gathered, one soul at a time. 
And the thirty-first path is Tav, the path from Yesod to Malchut and Malchut to Yesod; the path of eternal truth, divine knowledge and wisdom are eternal truth unchangeable. 
And the thirty-second path Malchut, is the path of the kingdom; the path of ascension is to return to that Elohim who did create all living and who does know the beginning from the end; amen and amen.

Chapter 21

The Sefirot

And the first path is called Keter, for it is the crown of YHVH and YHVH is El Elyon over all Ha’Elohim, and the light of the crown of YHVH is from before the beginning, 
For it hath no beginning and no ending; therefore it is not comprehendible unto mankind. 
And the first path is eternal life, and in the sky the Crown (Keter) is represented by Chamah, which is Shinehah the sun, for the light of the sun doth dispel the darkness of the night. 
And the Crown (Keter) of YHVH is light beyond seeing, and knowledge beyond knowing, and wisdom beyond wisdom, and understanding beyond comprehension, and is this not eternal? 
Therefore, it is through this light that all paths are illuminated, and all paths may be seen, 
And the first path does light the way back to that Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh who did create all things. 
¶ And the sixth path is called Chokhmah, for Hei, she is the wisdom of YHVH, and the Presence of YHVH is the Shekinah (Mother) over all of creation, and the light of her wisdom is from before the beginning, 
For YHVH hath no beginning and no end, therefore YHVH cannot be created, but is El Olam; 
Therefore when in the Presence of YHVH, mankind becomes wise in the things of YHVH. 
And the sixth path is wisdom and intuition (revelation), and in the sky she is represented by Chochevet, Ayelet ha’Shachar (Doe of the Dawn/Venus) for she doth chase the sun, and for many moons she will rise with him, and for many moons she will set with him. 
And the Wisdom of YHVH is wisdom beyond knowledge, and revelation beyond seeing; 
Therefore it is through the seer stone, that great urim and thummim, that the will of YHVH is made known by Malkath ha’Shamayim (the Queen of Heaven). 
¶ And the fifth path is called Da’at, for Yod, he is the knowledge of good and evil, and the Father is even as a star that doth wander about the heavens to gather up His Israel, 
For what father looketh not after his seed? 
Therefore, the Father doth send the Son of Man to gather up His Israel. 
And the fifth path is the study of the Torah and the knowledge given therein; therefore, in the sky he is represented by Kokhav Khamma (Mercury), the witness of Elohim. 
And the knowledge of YHVH Elohim is the revelation and the rock that Israel shall build her house upon, 
For what rock is greater than the knowledge of YHVH who is El Olam? 
¶ And the twelfth path is Chesed, for he is the mercy and divine vision of YHVH, and Yachad Yachid Echad, the Son, is sent to be rejected but he will be made known by the Father, 
For what father loveth not his son? And thus in the Son will the Father be well pleased. 
And the twelfth path is the mercy of YHVH, and in the sky he is represented by Sikkuth (Saturn or tent) for he is a protector and the mercy; 
And the vision of YHVH doth cover mankind, hiding many sins in His love and kindness. 
And the mercy of YHVH is the fruit of righteousness and the fruit born out of the womb of wisdom. 
¶ And the thirteenth path is Gevurah, for he is the strength and divine justice of YHVH, and by the holy fire of the Breath of Elohim (Ruach HaKodesh) is mankind judged, 
For by the fire of the atonement of the Son of Man, the Creator becomes one with His creation through the Torah and the Covenants. 
And the thirteenth path is the righteousness of YHVH, and in the sky he is represented by Tzedeq (Jupiter or justice); 
For at the last days, all nations shall be gathered before YHVH Elohim to be divided to the right or to the left; 
And the mercy of YHVH shall go with all they who do seek it, and all they who choose it not shall be cast out from before Ha’Elohim, for YHVH is One. 
¶ And the twenty-ninth path is Shin, the path from Hod to Malchut and Malchut to Hod is also found in the hidden path from Chokhmah to Gevurah and Gevurah to Chokhmah: 
The path of the sacred body, the flesh of mankind is the temple of YHVH, for the Breath doth dwell within Binah. 
¶ And the twenty-sixth path is Tzaddi, the path from Netzach to Malchut and Malchut to Netzach is also found in the hidden path from Da’at to Chesed and from Chesed to Da’at: 
The path of rebirth, through the Son of Man all are born anew, all they who come unto YHVH in teshuvah will find Binah. 
And the light of Binah doth rise up unto Keter, upon the fourth path which is Gimel for in Israel every man is king and every woman is queen, into that divine manifestation revealed where Gimel doth meet Dalet, 
For the path of hidden mysteries is revealed unto those faithful to YHVH Elohim. 
¶ And the nineteenth path is Tif’eret, for he is the harmony and divine balance of YHVH, 
And by the unity and the divine compassion of YHVH Elohim is the salvation of mankind found. 
And the nineteenth path is the atonement of YHVH, and in the sky he is represented by Lebanah, which is Olea (the Moon, or to ascend–to go up); 
For the light of Lebanah is but a reflection of that of Chamah which is but a reflection of the light of Kolob; 
And the unity of YHVH shall go with all they who do seek it, and all they who choose to partake of the fruit of the tree of life shall walk the path of Ha’Elohim, for YHVH is One. 
¶ And the twenty-third path is Netzach, for he is the eternal victory and divine endurance of YHVH, 
And by the endurance and the divine splendor of YHVH is the victory of life found. 
And the twenty-third path is the eternity of YHVH, and is unseen in the Shamayim (sky) represented by the Shamayim a Kokaubeam (star) invisible to the eyes of mankind; 
For the light of the Shamayim is forever and ever, and the Kokaubeam continues and never endeth; 
And the splendor of YHVH shall go on forever and ever, and the eternity of El Olam is never-ending, and so are His endowments. 
¶ And the twenty-fourth path is Hod, for he is the eternal splendor and divine majesty of YHVH, 
And by the honor and the divine grandeur of YHVH is the submission of the creation found in the obedience to the will of YHVH. 
And the twenty-fourth path is the glory of YHVH, and is unseen in the Shamayim (sky) represented by the Shamayim a Kokaubeam (star) invisible to the eyes of mankind; 
For the splendor of the Shamayim is forever and ever, and the Kokaubeam continues and never endeth; 
And the glory of YHVH shall go on forever and ever, and the eternity of El Olam is never-ending, and so is His Torah. 
¶ And the thirtieth path is Yesod, for he is the eternal foundation and divine rock and the footstool of YHVH, 
And by the establishment and the divine foundation (Hebrew, yesad, base or support) of the priesthood of YHVH is the structure of the everlasting covenant with the creation found. 
And the thirtieth path is the rock of YHVH, and is unseen in the Shamayim (sky) represented by the Erets (Earth) the life of mankind; 
For the creation of Elohim Shaddai doth receive the light of YHVH, to take in the warmth and life of the love of YHVH; 
And upon the foundation of YHVH shall all things be built and the creation shall become one, even as is the Creator. 
And the thirty-second path Malchut, for he is the kingdom and divine sovereignty and the dominion of YHVH, 
And by the establishment of the soul of mankind is the work and glory of YHVH for in you is the kingdom found. 
¶ And the thirty-second path is the life of YHVH, and is this creation, both you, O man, and all of thy kind, and all of the beast of the fields, and the foul of the air, and the fish of the sea, and all the plants, yea and all life where here upon this Eden rests. 
For the creation of YHVH Elohim doth receive the light of YHVH, to take in the warmth and life of the love of Adonai who is HaShem; 
And in the kingdom of YHVH shall all things be one and the creation shall be Eden, resting in the Shekinah forever and ever. 
¶ And all of the symbols (letters) in the night skies do create the paths between these, connecting the earth to the heavens, and the heavens to the earth, and the earth and the heavens to mankind. 
And each has its songs and its stories, and all are but a reflection of the thirty-two paths thou, Zenock, have walked upon as thou hath taken up the Chereb. 
And the thirty-two paths, they are the rituals, and they are the covenant, and they are the Torah, for they are the Chereb of YHVH; 
And they are the oneness of YHVH Elohim, and the oneness of the creation, and the oneness of the Creator and this creation; 
Therefore, walk them daily, walk them in prayer and supplication, walk them in holiness, and in kindness, meekness, and in love. 
For this Tree of Life is but a representation of the love of YHVH, and the seed of it is planted in the hearts of mankind that they might see light separated from the darkness that her fruit might be born out. 
¶ Wherefore I do say unto thee again: Walk these thirty-two paths daily, meekly, in submission, in patience; 
Yea, walk them full of love, submissive to all things which YHVH Elohim seeth fit to inflict upon thee, even as a child doth submit to a parent. 
And behold, if thou will do this, thou shall be found blameless before Ha’Elohim, loving thy fellow man and serving YHVH thy Elohim by serving thy neighbor who is this creation. 
¶ And this is the Torah and the covenant, that ye the creation be one, even as YHVH thy Elohim is One. 
And if thou will but keep this love in thy heart always then the covenant is fulfilled in you, and YHVH Elohim is El Olam Elohim Shaddai, and doth always keep His covenants. 
And when the love of YHVH is found in the hearts of mankind, there will be no more wars nor strife, 
But the will of YHVH Elohim will be done on this earth even as in the Heavens: So mote it be, and Amen.

Chapter 22

The Covenant

And it came to pass the malak of YHVH, Ariel, did place before me a band of silver (an amulet) and etched into the face of it I did read: 
¶ By the covenant between mankind, YHVH has kept: 
By the Chereb and the covenant is the creation revealed. 
Great are they who take the covenant to keep it. 
The Creator and the creation are one in the covenant and the rituals. 
Gracious is YHVH to all those who do love Him and remember Him. 
Showing mercy to all those who love Him and keep His Torah. 
They who take upon themselves the Chereb of YHVH, YHVH will know them. 
The Eternal One doth never forget but doth always remember. 
The grace of YHVH is blessing His Chereb more than any others. 
His Presence keeping away from any snare, or any evil. 
For our redemption is in YHVH. 
And YHVH is our Elohim. 
YHVH is our restorer (preservation). 
YHVH is our rock. 
YHVH bless and keep you. 
YHVH cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. 
YHVH lift up His face towards you and give unto you His shalom (peace). 
¶ And it came to pass that I did take that band of silver and roll it up upon my arm, that I should wear it and be blessed in the Presence of YHVH, my Elohim. 
And it came to pass that Ariel did speak it unto me, saying: They who take upon themselves the Chereb, even as did Moses and Zipporah, may have such protection; 
But know that these are the words etched upon thy soul and to wear them upon thy flesh is but an echo of thy inward covenant, even as are all signs and tokens, rituals and protections. 
And remember this day that all this hath been done as thou did desire to stand in the Presence of YHVH and to keep the covenants and the rituals of thy fathers and thy mothers. 
And it came to pass that Uriel did speak again unto me, saying: Zenock, son of Zenoch, son of Levi and of Joseph; what is thy duty in this place? 
And I did answer him, saying: It is my covenant to keep the inner door open that all they who are desirous to learn of YHVH may know to their life or to their peril. 
¶ And it came to pass that Ariel did give (or presented) unto me a sword, and with it he did speak again unto me, saying: 
This is the implement of thy office, for it doth represent the Chereb given unto mankind from YHVH Elohim through Moses, friend of YHVH and Zipporah, High Priestess of El Elyon. 
Keep it at thy post, let it never draw blood; for though the day shall come that the people of YHVH shall sell their cloaks to buy a sword, only two shall be needed, 
For the meaning (purpose) of the sword is to count them righteous before YHVH, though they shall be seen as transgressors before the world; 
Therefore, let not the sword of thy covenant draw blood or it should stain the Chereb of thy soul and remove the priesthood of it, and it shall cease to protect thee. 
And now, have thou faith enough for this? 
And I did answer him, saying: Yea, thou knowest that I do, and I shall walk unto death a free man before YHVH. 
¶ And it came to pass that Uriel did continue to speak unto me, saying: Thou shall continue thy duty, an write all that I have spoken unto thee, 
And thou shall draw out all the signs and tokens that thou hast been given, that all they who should read these, thy words, shall know them; 
For all they who do enter into the Priesthood of YHVH shall know one another by the signs and the tokens given them, and these shall be given one unto the other that they shall know. 
And they shall be taught the orders of prayer, but the true order of prayer shall be for the High Priest and the High Priestess, 
Even as it was in the days of Adam and Eve, and Enoch and Aadani and Yydnah and Ydris, and Noah and Na’amah, and Melchizedek and Yiskah (יסכה, Hebrew, “to see” or “to look”) and Puyah (פוּעה Hebrew, “to shine”), Moses and Tharbys (תרבעס, “strength”) and Kaashet, and Adoniah (אדניח, Hebrew, “lord” – feminine, “master”), and Zipporah. 
And they did call down the heavens, even Keter, Da’at, and Chokhmah, to the earth, through each of the days of creation, even Chesed, Gevurah, Tif’eret, Netzach, Hod, and Yesod, into that Sabbath day that is Malchut; 
And in the true order of prayer, the High Priest and the High Priestess do also pull the heavens to the earth, the Crown to the Kingdom, 
To know and make known the will of YHVH, that it should be done in all things, that the will of YHVH Elohim be done on the earth even as in the heavens. 
And the words that are spoken are even thus: Pe le-El (pronounced: Pai Lai Ale), O God, Hear the Words of My Mouth! 
And when the High Priest and the High Priestess speak as one, in the Presence of YHVH, they are heard from on high, and they become as an urim and thummim. 
And thus are the flocks cared for, and the widows and the orphans fed, that the wants of the needy are met: So mote it be, Amen and Amen.

Chapter 23

The Record

And it came to pass that I did even as I had been instructed, writing down all that had come to pass and all that I had been instructed to write. 
And so it was that I found myself still living there in that cave; 
And there YHVH did bless me with living water and with manna for my soul, and El Elyon did bless me with food and water for my nourishment. 
¶ And it came to pass that Ariel did again come unto me, to teach and instruct me, that I might write it down for the learning of all they who would find these records and partake of them. 
And I did speak unto him, saying: Ariel, lion of El Olam, where are they whom I shall teach? 
¶ And it came to pass that Ariel did speak unto me, saying: These words are for those that shall read these, thy records; therefore, take up and write as thus: 
¶ There are but two paths for mankind to walk: the path of life and the path of death; 
The path of life is even as a tree that, planted as a seed in thy heart, doth grow up to bear good fruit, and it tasteth sweet; 
But the path of death doth dig its way down, to corrupt thy heart to the defiling of the soul; 
For once a man or a woman knoweth good from evil that soul is born inside of them, and should that soul be corrupted then is that path unto perdition wrought. 
Likewise, it is so that there are two Priesthoods: the Priesthood of an Endless Life and the Priesthood of Life; 
And the Priesthood of life is that Priesthood given unto the Levites by their lineage, and it is given unto mankind unto the planting of that seed and to encourage the growth thereof; 
And that Priesthood of Endless Life hath no beginning of days nor end of years, therefore it cannot be passed down by the blood, but must be given of YHVH Elohim by the Chereb; 
And this is given unto all they who do confess and taste of the fruit of that tree and see that it is good, and that it be desirous above all other fruit; 
And these will then desire of those whom they love, that they too should partake of it, and this is the Priesthood of Endless Life made manifest. 
And they who are called to this Priesthood of Endless Life, these are called after the Order of Melchizedek and the Order of Migdalah; and these are called Morah Ha’Tzedek and Morah Ha’Migdalah. 
¶ And the way of life is even this: Love YHVH, thy Elohim for He hath made thee and brought thee up, and love thy neighbor as thy self, for all that thou doth see is the creation of YHVH Elohim, and to love the Creator is to love His creation. 
And how doth one love this creation? Bless all they who curse you, pray for they who would persecute you, fast for thy enemies and those who would use you; 
For if thou would love they who hate thee, how should an enemy overtake thee? Therefore, give peace for violence, love for apathy, and kindness for hate; 
Give unto others not their needs, but their wants, when another ask of thee, hold it not back from them—yea, fulfil the desires of their hearts that are pure and just. 
Hold not thy hand outstretching to take from others when thou hath enough, but to give to all they who do ask of thee; 
And unto they who seek to give of themselves unto thee, let them give freely that Ha’Elohim should see their good deeds, but take not in gluttony; 
And if thou hath enough, take in love to give in love unto another, they to who it has been given to suffer the greater want. 
Go not give to receive, do not take more back than thou hath loaned out (do not charge interest), especially to thy brother or thy sister in Israel. 
Do this and YHVH Elohim shall be thy witness in all things, that thou art pure. 
¶ Even as thy father, Joseph when tempted in Egypt, flee from before all that is evil, be honest in all thy dealings that thou should not be led into theft; 
Be thou meek, and patient, and merciful, and true to thy word, and of a peaceful countenance, and kind; 
Fear not the words of men but give honor and glory to YHVH for He is El Elyon. 
Walk with the righteous and the humble, listen not to the words of the flatterer. 
Judge only in righteousness that thou might be a bringer of peace and not one to cause division nor divisiveness. 
Bear not the burden of hypocrisy upon thy shoulders, and teach not these words to any if thou desire not to live them for thyself. 
This is the path of life, it leadeth unto Endless Life, and all they who do walk it shall be given freely of the gifts of the Breath of Elohim: offer up now thy confession.

Chapter 24

The Confession of Zenock

I do honor virtue, committing no sin against YHVH Tzidqenu (יהוה צדקנוּ), the God of Our Righteousness. 
I do not benefit from violence, but live in the peace of Oseh Shalom (עשה שלום) the Maker of Peace. 
I do not steal or take from the creation unjustly, but live with gratitude of Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh (אהיה אשר אהיה), the Creator. 
I do not harm the creation, nor have I slain men or women, but affirm that all life is sacred being the creation of Abba Ha’Briy’ah (אבי הבריאה) the Father of Creation. 
I have not taken grain from those in need, but have given in the name of YHVH Yir’eh (יהוה יראה), God will provide. 
I go forth not to take HaShem YHVH (השם יהוה), The Name of God in vain, but give all offerings in light, love, and truth. 
I live in truth, taking nothing from the temples of Ha’ Kodesh Israel (קדוש ישראל), the Holy One of Israel, without the blessing of YHVH. 
I speak the words from my mouth with sincerity of heart, speaking no vain thing in the name of YHVH Ameth (יהוה הוא אמת), God is Truth. 
When I take of the earth, I take only that which I need to fulfill my wants and to fulfill the desires of Bora Olam (בורא עולם), Creator of the World, my Elohim. 
I offer words of blessing, cursing not save it be the will of Ahman Ha’Olam (אמון העולם), the Master Architect of the World. 
I rest in the peace of YHVH, breaking not my oaths nor taking the name Shalom YHVH (שלום יהוה), God of Peace, in vain. 
I seek to do good to those who Kodesh Israel (קדוש ישראל), the Holy One of Israel, doth bring upon my path, causing none to weep but to praise the Holy One of Israel and give honor and glory to Kodesh Israel. 
I have been given dominion over all living things upon the earth by Ha’Rachaman (הרחמן) the Merciful One, therefore I honor the creation, and drink not the blood of it. 
Ve’Daiyan Israel (ודין ישראל), the Judge and Protector of Israel, knows that I can be trusted, and that I do no murder, nor kidnap, nor taking anyone by force. 
I till the earth in the name of Elohim Shaddai (אלוֹה שדי), that I should not be burdensome unto others, and I am the gardener (Hebrew, abad עבד servant or worshiper) of the earth. 
I do not share gossip, but I keep the counsel of YHVH Adoni Ha’Shaboth (יהוה אדוֹן השבת) God, Lord of the Sabbath. 
I do not bear false witness, nor do I slander, but speak well of others in the name of Ha’Yohtzar Ha’Or (היצר האור), the God Who did Create and Fashion the Light. 
Refraining from anger, I do turn away from wrath, being quick to listen, slow to speak, that I might produce the righteousness of Tzur Israel (צוּר ישראל), the Rock of Israel. 
YHVH Raphacha (יהוה רפאך) the God that Heals and Restores, I look not after the wife of another that I might not be tempted, but flee from before the temptress even as did my father, Joseph. 
I take no concubines (Hebrew פִילֶגֶשׁ piylegesh, can mean “paramour” or another love, here meaning sexual slaves) but delight in the wife of my heart, that I might be pure in heart, seeking after only El Roi (אל ראי), the God Who Sees Me, for all of my days. 
I do take joy in the name Ben Enosh (בן־אנוש) the Son of Man, and my hope is in the Son of Man (Adam), that I would talk with Him in the paths of righteousness towards understanding. 
I walk forward in El Elyon (אל עלְיוֹן), the Most High God, not resting on mankind nor doing the labors of men. 
I am moved by the compassion of YHVH El Racham (יהוה אל רחוּם) the Lord God of Loving-kindness, my bowels being filled with compassion towards my fellow man. 
I strive for reproof from my brother, listening to the voices of those who do offer me reproof in the name Gevurah (גבוּרה), Strength and Justice. 
I do seek after the bond of peace, I do seek after the harmony of Malchut (מלכוּת), the Kingdom, with all mankind, and most especially with the Israel of YHVH. 
I seek after truth in all its forms for all truth doth come from Ruach HaKodesh (רוח הקודש) the Holy Breath. 
I love Yachad (יחיד), harmony and unity, for Yachid (יחיד), the One set apart, loved us first, and I seek after the love of Echad (אחד), the Unified, that I might bask in that love and share it forth as a light unto the world (יחיד יחיד אחד Yachad Yachid Echad, the Unifier set apart to unite us all). 
I seek not the sword of my anger, but the rock of Yesod (יסוֹד) the Foundation, which is a sword of justice and of mercy. 
I seek after the wellbeing of others before myself, that I should not become a wrathful spirit that doth stirreth up strife but be a Chereb (sword or tool) in the hands of Emeth (אמת), Truth. 
I bite not nor seek to devour another, that I not be consumed by hate but stand in Panie HaMayim, The Presence of the Waters (פני המים, The Face of the Waters). 
I forgive those who do wrong me, for I have wronged Chesed (חסד) Mercy, and I have been forgiven; therefore, I do forgive even as I have been forgiven. 
I strive to hear Ha’Kol, The Voice (הקוֹל a name for the Holy Spirit), and to stand in the Presence (Shekinah) of Elohim that I should feel the Breath of YHVH and harken unto The Voice. 
I seek compassion for others, not to conceal my sins but to confess them, that I might prosper in Da’at and Chokhmah (דעת חכמה), Knowledge and Wisdom. 
I seek to do good in all things in the name of Tif’eret (תפארת), Beauty , and not after my own will that I should walk into my own doom. 
I curse not they who would hang their grievances over me, but offer blessings in Keter (כתר), the Crown, that my enemies should prosper even as do they whom I do loveth. 
I damn not the pathways of the blessings of Netzach (נצח), Eternity, towards my neighbors but ask of Hod (הוֹד), Glory to bless them even as He hath blessed me. 
I speak only of the good they who El Olam (אל עוֹלם), the Everlasting God, doth send to cross my path and ask YHVH to bless them and not curse them. 
I praise Yah (יה The Father God and the Mother Goddess), the Mother and the Father, that their blessings poured out unto me should be seen and others not praise me, giving all glory where it be due. 
I do humble myself before Avinu (אבינוּ), Our Father, and give all thanks unto Him. 
I do not take from the dead, but I do honor Elohim Chaiyim (אלהים חיים) the living Elohim, and I give unto them their due, not cutting myself for their sake. 
I confess with the words of my mouth that the Torah is not fulfilled in me, but that salvation comes only by the grace of YHVH, and the works of Elolaum (אלעוֹלם), Endless Perfection, are given through us despite (notwithstanding or regardless of) all we may do. 
I do raise up the cup of salvation, given me to drink by En Sof (אין סוֹף), the Never Ending God, confessing of my own nothingness in the eyes of the Infinite by these fourty-two names of YHVH.

Chapter 25

The Mothers

And it came to pass that hat the malak of יהוה (YHVH), Qaphsiel (קפץיאל, God is my hastening), did stand before me, and he did open his mouth, and he did speak unto me saying: 
Zenock, son of Zenoch, son of Joseph and of Levi, I shall teach thee of the symbols that thou did engrave upon that sword which thou did set apart to use in glorifying יהוה (YHVH): 
For thou did pray over it, asking יהוה (YHVH) to sanctify it, that it be holy; and thou did carry it with thee and thou did sleep with it by thy side; 
And thou did fast, not eating any meat, nor anything that cometh from a living thing, neither meat, nor milk, nor fish, nor honey, eating only that manna YHVH thy Elohim did give thee for thy sustenance; 
And thou did bathe every night, touching not that which is unclean, washing thy hands in salt once in the morning, once at midday, and once in the evening; 
And thou did keep thy thoughts pure, that when my brother, Ariel, did come before thee, asking for that sword, he did present it unto you after thou did set it at his feet. 
And Ariel did declare it holy; therefore, it is holy, save it be desecrated by the shedding of blood. 
But what of these symbols thou did place upon them? doth thou know them? 
¶ And I did open up my mouth, speaking unto that malak, saying: Nay, except that they are written upon the night sky, for my learning was in the language of the Egyptians. 
¶ And that malak, Qaphsiel, did open again his mouth and he did speak unto me, saying: 
I shall tell thee now of the three symbols etched upon the hilt (the handle or the base), marked in the three stones: 
And these are the three mothers, even Aleph, Mem, and Shin; 
And Aleph is that path of wisdom, and Mem is that path of divine mediation, and Shin is that path of the sacred body; 
For the revelation is given by the Breath of יהוה (YHVH) into mankind, the flow of divine power comes from the heavens to fill the earth, and the flesh of mankind is the temple of יהוה (YHVH), for the Breath doth dwell within. 
¶ And these three are the Mothers for they are Creators, and by these symbols are the foundations of this reality (Hebrew: קשט, truth, balance, or equity) created. 
Yea, and these three are the very foundations of the whole, keep them in thy hands, 
For in them is the mystery and they who have them are given power over fire, water, and air: 
The male of them and the female of them, which is to say the giving of them and the taking of them. 
For the Mothers are creators; therefore, there is a masculine and a feminine to them, and the great Mediator who is יהוה (YHVH) doth stand between them; 
For in the chest of mankind air (Aleph), and in the center of mankind is the water (Mem), and in the head of mankind is the fire (Shin), 
And without the breath there is no life, and without the blood there is no life, an without the spirit there is no life; therefore, without these, the Mothers, there is no life in mankind. 
And these three Mothers are the Earth, for she did give birth to mankind; therefore, give her the honor she is due; 
Yea, and respect thy Mother the earth, and thy Father in the Heavens, for these are the Creator, and thou art their creation. 
¶ All of the symbols of the skies are written upon Aleph, she is the first Mother from before this creation, she is of יהוה (YHVH) for she is the silence of all things and the breath of all things. 
She is the Mother who connects the Creator and the creation, the Heavens and the earth, she is the breath in and the breath out and the pause in between. 
She is the mother who did brood over the waters of the abyss before the creation, she is the sacred breath that did breathe life into mankind. 
She is drawn as the path towards the heaven (the upper world) and the path to the earth (the lower world) with a ladder uniting them, that ladder is Vav, the very staff of righteousness. 
Aleph is One even as YHVH is One. 
¶ In the beginning, the Breath of Ha’Elohim did rest upon Mem, the waters of the abyss (1 Moses 3:4-5), she is the first Mother of the creation for in her did the intelligence rest and all creation did come forth from out of her. 
She is the Mother who doth connect mankind unto YHVH יהוה (YHVH) through that Torah, for in her is the mercy of knowledge and wisdom bringing both life and chaos. 
She is the mother who is the womb, holding in her the secrets of this creation, for in her is the water of mercy that shall quench all thirst. 
She is drawn as the waves of the sea, moved by the Mother air, reaching down to the earth to give her the mercy of YHVH, lifting mankind up, connecting the Heavens and the earth. 
¶ Mankind is created by the letter Shin, being born again by she who is first Mother in the creation of the soul, that mankind be given their own will and pleasure, intellect, and emotions. 
She is the Mother who connects mankind to Ha’Elohim, bringing the seven degrees of creation into the three ages before the creation. 
She is the Mother of the suffering servant and of the conquering king, for even as the messiah who shall come in the meridian of time shall suffer in death that justice be served, he too shall live again, the king to conquer death. 
And she is drawn as three pillars of faith: prayer, and deeds of righteousness, and the study of the Torah, connected by that straight path that is Israel (straight to God), 
And she is made by the thumb extended outward and upward, the first two fingers straight together, and the last two fingers straight together (this may be done by one or both hands). 
¶ And these are the three Mothers who are the three creators of the divine symbols written upon the night skies. 
The fire of Shin is above, water of Mem below, the breath of Aleph brings them together, that the fire should be upon the earth and the water in the sky that mankind should be given life eternal. 
And Shin does give mankind strength for action, and Mem the womb that mankind should be born again, and Aleph the divine breath of creation that mankind should be even as Ha’Elohim. 
All they who are brought unto YHVH Elohim have been taught by these, their mothers, and if they shall doubt not, YHVH Elohim shall deliver them; 
For thou must be born again, and this not just once, but in every world you ascend.

Chapter 26

The Doubles

And it came to pass the malak of YHVH, Qaphsiel (קפץיאל, God is my hastening), did open his mouth again and he did speak unto me saying: 
Zenock, son of Zenoch, son of Joseph and of Levi, I shall teach thee now of the symbols that thou did engrave upon that sword which thou did set apart to use in glorifying YHVH. 
And I shall tell thee now of the seven symbols etched upon the blade, and these are Doubles (or repetition), for these seven symbols are etched upon both sides of that blade: 
And these are the seven in duplication, even Kaf, Resh, Bet, Tav, Gimel, Dalet, and Peh. 
And Bet is that path of divine knowledge, and Gimel is that path of divine kingship and queenship, and Dalet is that path of hidden mysteries, 
And Kaf is that path of victory, and Peh is that path of overcoming, and Resh is that path of nature, and Tav is that path of eternal truth. 
Yet these symbols are written out upon the chereb as such: victory (Kaf), vigor (Resh), knowledge (Bet), truth (Tav), royalty (Gimel), mystery (Dalet), and endurance (Peh). 
And these are the directions: Kaf, Height; Resh, the West; Bet, the South; Tav, the center place, even the Holy of Holies within the temples of יהוה (YHVH); Gimel, the North; Dalet, the East; and Peh, Depth; and these are the movement of the blade. 
¶ And upon the one side, these are the foundation of light or life: Kaf, the Rock of Life; Resh, the Seeds of Peace; Bet, the Seas of Wisdom; Tav, the Seasons of Splendor; Gimel, the Increase of Mankind; Dalet, the Fertility of the Holy; and Peh, Strength of Purification. 
And on the other side, these are the separation into darkness or death: Kaf, the Sands of Death; Resh, the Sterility of War; Bet, the Violence of Ignorance; Tav, the Lie of Insignificance; Gimel, the Treachery of Poverty; Dalet, the Sterility of Lust; and Peh, the Slavery of Perdition. 
And thus is the sharpness of the two-edge sword, for the Word of YHVH is alive and ever moving forward, piercing the heart of mankind and splitting the soul and spirit, 
For YHVH Elohim is El Olam (אל עוֹלם Everlasting God or Eternal God) and is able to discern the intention of the heart of mankind, for mankind is the creation of Ha’Elohim. 
¶ And Bet is in duplication upon the chereb (Hebrew חרב, “sword,” “tool”, or “mattock”) for she is the house of the Sacred Breath (Ruach HaKodesh or Holy Spirit); 
And she is the first of the seven in her place in the thirty-two paths as she is duality: 
Even as Moses did receive two tablets of sapphire with the Torah of YHVH, yet the same was written upon both stones, so is Bet. 
Yea, and she is the paradox of this creation, and she is written as a safe place with the door open unto the heart that all might enter into the Holy of Holies of YHVH Elohim. 
¶ And Gimel is in duplication upon the chereb for she is the charity of El Olam (אל עוֹלם Everlasting God or Eternal God); 
And she is the symbol that is in action, in movement to gather up the water, and to give unto all they who have not. 
And she is the second of the seven in her place upon the thirty-two paths as she is the freedom of choice, for mankind to receive or reject their mitzvoth: 
Even as Israel did say as one: All that YHVH hath spoken we will do, the sons and daughters of Jacob did reject their mitzvah for that calf of gold that did come up out of the fire. 
Yea, and she is the third of this creation, the uniting of two opposing forces, and she is written as one leaning over, arms outstretched to give unto those in need. 
¶ And Dalet is in duplication upon the chereb for she is the gate of Bora Olam (בורא עולם Creator of the World); 
And mankind doth bow in humility unto the Creator (Hebrew אהיה אשר אהיה, Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh) that he (Adam/mankind) might enter into the understanding of Ha’Elohim. 
And she is the third of the seven in her place upon the thirty-two paths as she is the four worlds mankind doth pass through, one gate at a time, as he (Adam/mankind) walks the paths: 
For this is the prayer of the Chereb: Blessed art thou, יהוה (YHVH), O Lord our Elohim, who opens the gates of the firmament and giveth light unto the whole earth and its creatures with the multitude of Thy mercies. 
Yea, and she is the fourth of this creation, the humble man in need of bread; and thus is she drawn as the straight line of the firmament above and the door beneath that doth lead to it. 
¶ And Kaf is in duplication upon the chereb for she is the open palm; 
And with power and authority doth mankind receive from El Roi (אל ראי God Who Sees Me) and he (Adam/mankind) serves all those whom YHVH Elohim bringeth before her. 
And she is the fourth of the seven in her place upon the thirty-two paths, as she is the covering or protection of YHVH Elohim: 
For even as Moses did teach us: And they went unto Noah and Na’amah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of life; and יהוה (YHVH) did cover them up. 
Yea, and she is the hand of this creation, the hand outstretched ready to receive mercy; and thus is she drawn even as the hand, cupped that he may receive all that the Father hath to give. 
¶ And Peh is as a vessel and within her is the divine spark, for she is the mouth open to speak forth the Word of יהוה (YHVH); 
And with the Word of יהוה (YHVH) doth all things come into being that Adam (mankind) might open their mouth and speak of the good things of YHVH Ameth (יהוה הוא אמת YHVH is Truth). 
And she is the fifth of the seven in her place upon the thirty-two paths, as she is the tongue that uttereth the mysteries of Elohim Shaddai: 
For Tzophar did stand before Laadan, speaking for the twelve righteous, saying: Write these sayings upon thy heart, and the words written upon thy tongue shall be pure and holy before יהוה (YHVH). 
Yea, and she is the mouth of this creation, the expression giving voice to the understanding and insight, and thus is she drawn, as an open mouth giving voice. 
¶ And Resh is as the beginning, for in the head is wisdom found; 
And by bowing in humility unto El Elyon (אל עלְיוֹן The Most High God) is teshuvah found, for all of the words of YHVH are true, and all the Torah of El Olam (אל עוֹלם Everlasting God or Eternal God) is eternal. 
And she is the sixth of the seven in her place upon the thirty-two paths, as she is awake to the needs and the desires of the flesh, crying for mercy unto Ha’Elohim: 
For even Asenath, thy mother, did come to desire to know of YHVH in the flesh, 
And the angel of YHVH did come unto her, giving her the honeycomb to eat and to drink from the cup of immortality. 
Yea, and she is the head (or face) of this creation, and is drawn as such that mankind might awaken unto teshuvah, for now is the time to prepare to meet יהוה (YHVH). 
¶ And Tav is as the seal of the covenant, for in the mark of the covenant is found truth and completion; 
And by thy faithfulness unto the covenant of יהוה (YHVH) is the thirty-two paths found, for in the covenant of יהוה (YHVH) is the promise found. 
And she is the seventh of the seven in her place upon the thirty-two paths, for in her is the kingdom of heaven: 
For in the Holy of Holies is the Ark of the Testimony kept, and within is the Torah found, and the Mercy seat does rest upon her; therefore, the incoming doth express the outgoing. 
Yea, and she is the beginning and the end, being the completion of this creation, for this creation is the works of YHVH Elohim, and there is no end to His creations; 
And she is drawn as a seal or a mark that mankind should know that all things created by Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh (אהיה אשר אהיה The Creator) are sealed in יהוה (YHVH) in this creation. 
¶ And these are the seven in duplication written upon the Magen Solomon (Hebrew, מגן שלמה, Shield of Peace), which is the Chotham Solomon (Hebrew חותם שלמה, Seal of Wholeness), which is the Mephatch Solomon (Hebrew מפתח שלמה, Key of Prosperity): 
Kaf, the height of victory; Resh, the vigor to the West; Bet, the knowledge from the South; 
Tav, the truth found in the center place, even the Holy of Holies within the temples of YHVH; 
Gimel, the counsel taken from the North; Dalet, the mystery discovered to the East; and Peh, depth of endurance; 
And these are the movements in balance upon the thrity-two paths of HaShem YHVH (השם יהוה The Name YHVH) which is given him (Adam/mankind) by my brother, Raziel (רזיאל God is my secret) who doth anoint him (Adam/mankind) High Priest and High Priestess, 
King and queen in Israel when in wisdom they (Adam/mankind) are given the Chereb, even as it was give thee, Zenoch. 
¶ But even as they are written upon the sky in peace, wholeness, and prosperity, these are also written in the abyss in their unnatural state. 
And all they who are brought unto the carnal state are in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity, 
But they who are brought into restoration are returned to their natural state, no longer to stand opposite to their nature, 
For they do receive their reward in YHVH Elohim, having been taught by these, in repetition.

Chapter 27

The Twelve Divisions of the Heavens

And it came to pass that the malak of YHVH, Qaphsiel (קפץיאל, God is my hastening), did open his mouth again and he did speak unto me saying: 
Zenock, son of Zenoch, son of Joseph and of Levi, I shall teach thee now of the symbols that thou did engrave upon that sword which thou did set apart to use in glorifying יהוה (YHVH). 
And I shall tell thee now of the twelve symbols etched upon the hilt (the space between the handle and the blade); and these are the months, for these twelve symbols are etched upon the night skies: 
For behold, all things are given in cycles, and degree by degree doth all things ascend unto HaShem YHVH. 
¶ And these are the twelve signs, even Hei, Vav, Zayin, Chet, Tet, Yod, Lamed, Nun, Samech, Ayin, Tzaddi, Qof; 
And Hei is that path of purity of faith, and Vav is that path of sanctification, and Zayin is that path of wisdom, and Chet is that path of divine fire, 
And Tet is that path of revelation, and Yod is that path of divine order, and Lamed is that path of divine judgement, and Nun is that path of the covenant, 
And Samech is that path of divine truth, and Ayin is that path of eternal life, and Tzaddi is that path of rebirth, and Qof is that path of service. 
And these are written upon the night sky, for with these did YHVH Elohim divide up the twelve divisions of the heavens, to tell the months and the years, and to tell the stories and that the seers should see. 
And in wisdom did Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh (אהיה אשר אהיה The Creator) YHVH Elohim create these, 
That mankind would learn to know good from evil and evil from good, and good from the good and evil from the evil: 
For eternal happiness is reserved for the just, and wickedness then cannot be just, for wickedness is an obsession and can then never be happiness, for the unrighteous desire is never fulfilled. 
But these in the twelve signs is the dragon that biteth his own tail, for in righteousness doth the Son of Man come into this world, to fulfill all righteousness; 
And even as that great serpent, the leviathan, should swallow up the seas of the abyss, the Son of Man is as a dragon that shall breathe fire to protect the people of the Covenant (Israel), and destroy that serpent in his wrath. 
¶ And Hei, she is written upon the stars as a man with his arms outstretched, to behold that which Bora Olam (בורא עולם Creator of the World) has made, with hands open to receive of the Breath, Ruach Hakodesh. 
She is seen as the straight path with three steps, for Moses did say: Let they who are born in that first month be honest, and of great sympathy, giving generously unto all they who are in need of succor in HaShem (The Name) יהוה (YHVH). 
And let mankind see the revelation of יהוה (YHVH) in knowledge and wisdom, that they may know how to succor those in need, even as YHVH Raphacha (יהוה רפאך YHVH Heals/Restores) seeth their needs; 
For in Hei is the Shekinah, both the Presence of Elohim in the Heavens and the Breath of Elohim upon the earth found, for in Her is the revelation found. 
And she is drawn as a leaning man, seeking to behold the revelation from the breath of YHVH, connecting mankind to the Creator in humility. 
¶ And Vav, she is written upon the stars as the straight path and the hook, to unify that which Yachad Yachid Echad (יחיד יחיד אחד, the Unifier set apart to unite us all) hath named Israel, connecting the heavens and the earth. 
She is seen as the straight path with a single step, and it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that second month live a life that is average, full of passion with bountiful grace within them. 
Yea, and she is the nail that ties the heavens to the earth, that connects mankind and Ha’Elohim, for she is wholeness and completeness and shall pierce the Son of Man that the restoration might come. 
For the nail must pierce Him that He be lifted up, for Kodesh Israel (קדוש ישראל Holy One of Israel) is the bridge between the four worlds of Elohim Chaiyim (אלהים חיים the living God), the Word between thought and action, even the ladder. 
And she is drawn as that path from the earth to the heavens, which is that path from the heavens to the earth, as a bridge between mankind and the Creator. 
¶ And Zayin, she is written upon the stars as a man tilling the earth, he diggeth the hole to planteth the seed that he and his family might eat of the bread of life that sprouteth from wisdom. 
And she is seen as the hilt of a sword to some, and the mattock (hand plow) to others, for it is even as Moses did say: They who are born in that third month, let thy generosity never waver. 
For in wisdom doth mankind be as one with one another and with the earth, for when the earth is one, then the heavens and the earth will again be one, thus fulfilling their creation. 
And let the labor of mankind be that of life, for this is wisdom: death is but a shadow defeated even as the darkness of night is defeated in the morn at the rising of the sun. 
And she is drawn as a straight path with a beginning and an ending, which is the life of mankind, from that first breath of life that brings life in, until that last breath that exhales life from the body, and the light returns from whence it was sent out. 
¶ And Chet, she is written upon the stars as sukkot, the veil of the tent that separates the upper world and the lower world, that mankind might first be made ready before lifting the veil. 
And she is seen as sukkot (the tent flap), for it is even as Moses did say: let they who are born in that fourth month, let them be noble, taking the path forward when others are fearful; 
And thus did Moses teach that when every child is eight days old, they shall be blessed and instructed in teshuvah, that they may be circumcised of the heart when they come of age. 
It is on the eighth day of creation that the soul is born, being now the first day of the creation of the neshamah, the light being divided from the darkness, a doorway opening in the kelim (vessels) of the heart. 
And in the circumcision of the heart, the qliphoth (husk) is removed, that Ha’Or En Sof (the everlasting light or the light of Christ) might shine forth to heal this creation, uniting the upper world of the heavens and the lower world of the earth. 
And she is drawn as the Holy of Holies of the heavens and the Holy of Holies of the earth separated by the veil, a protection for the earth until she is ready for her marriage covenant. 
¶ And Tet, she is written upon the stars as the kli (vessel) that holds the light of En Sof (Ha’Or En Sof, the everlasting light or the light of Christ) that gives unto mankind the desires of their hearts, 
And when she is clean, the light may shine forth to heal this creation, but when her kilem be filthy, then so too are the works of mankind an abomination before YHVH Elohim, for יהוה (YHVH) is Ha’Yohtzar Ha’Or (היצר האור He Who did Fashion/Create the Light). 
For it is even as Moses did say: let they who are born in that fifth month, rejoice in their stillness, that they be always well informed; 
For thy father Joseph and thy mother Asenath did see that Yachad Yachid Echad carries with Him the breath of life, giving this light unto all they who should partake. 
And the righteous desires of mankind doth hide away in the pride of they who loveth not YHVH their Elohim, but when that light will shine forth, all things of יהוה (YHVH) shall be restored. 
And she is drawn as a vessel of clay or wickerwork, and at the crossroads is the path of life discovered, whether mankind shall choose the light or choose the darkness, as it has been divided within them. 
¶ And Yod, she is written upon the stars as the right hand of יהוה (YHVH), for by the right hand are all the works of YHVH Elohim performed, for in the right hand is the power and authority of Ahman Ha’Olam (אמון העולם Master Architect of the World) given. 
And by the outstretched right hand did Moses do the works of יהוה (YHVH), for it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that sixth month be known for their generosity, and their willingness to give of themselves. 
For the Voice did speak unto Moses, saying: Place thy rod in thy right hand, for it is holy unto יהוה (YHVH), 
And by the Word of the Creator did the creation begin, and by the Yod was the works of the creation completed by Ha’Elohim, for from Yah (יה) did come the emanations (the Sefirot). 
And by faith are all things accomplished, for without faith mankind can do nothing, but by faith and desires that shine forth from a clean kli (vessel), all that mankind will ask for in HaShem YHVH (השם יהוה The Name YHVH) shall be given them. 
And she is drawn as a mighty right hand and an outstretched arm, even as YHVH Elohim did bring thy fathers and thy mothers out of Egypt and the bondage of sin and death; therefore, forget not what YHVH Elohim has done. 
¶ And Lamed, she is written upon the stars as the staff of the shepherd, to teach Israel of all the things of Oseh Shalom (עשה שלום Maker of Peace), as mankind descends and ascends the ladder, walking the thirty-two paths. 
True learning comes from the heart, for in the heart are the kilem (vessels) that hold Ha’Or En Sof, for it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that seventh month find strength always in wisdom, and not in lofty dreams of foolishness. 
Even as Moses said: YHVH chose Israel above all other people; therefore, circumcise the foreskin of thine heart, be ye no more stiff-necked; 
Wherefore, let thy heart be thy guide as thou movest by the very Breath of Ha’Elohim, walk the pathways straight, and in healing; 
For to learn of Ha’Yohtzar Ha’Or (היצר האור He Who did Fashion/Create the Light) is to love the Bora Olam (בורא עולם Creator of the World), and YHVH El Racham (יהוה אל רחוּם YHVH God of Loving-kindness) is the name (HaShem) of Him. 
And she is drawn even as she is seen in the stars, as the staff of Moses who did lead Israel out of Egypt and gave her the Torah that they should see the face of YHVH and live. 
¶ And Nun, she is written upon the stars as the man bowing in submission to YHVH Yir’eh (יהוה יראה YHVH will provide) in righteousness, for these are the joint heirs in righteousness. 
And the righteous man shall work as thy father, Jacob did to earn the hand of his bride, 
For it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that eighth month keep their honor, their integrity, and their valor that they be free from back-biting and scandal. 
For the stars that form her may be seen as a snake that would strike, or as a fish that would feed, or as a seed that doth grow up from the soil, even as they that are born in this month might be. 
Therefore, she is drawn in humble potential for redemption that she may be brought up in the ways of the Oseh Shalom (עשה שלום //Maker of Peace). 
¶ And Samech, she is written upon the stars as a thorny bush, for the birds and the lesser animals do hide in her for protection. 
And it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that ninth month ever seek to know יהוה (YHVH), by deep thoughts, and by helping hands. 
Hidden within the depths of the burning bush that Moses did see is all life eternal and everlasting; 
Likewise, hidden within the thorny bush upon the earth is all manner of life hidden and kept safe with life ascending and descending that tree. 
And she is drawn as the ladder that mankind might descend and ascend upon the thirty-two paths of Ahman Ha’Olam (אמון העולם Master Architect of the World). 
¶ And Ayin, she is written upon the stars as a horn that all they who seek righteousness might drink from the cup of YHVH Tzidqenu (יהוה צדקנוּ YHVH Our Righteousness), 
And blow the shofar of YHVH Adoni Ha’Shaboth (יהוה אדוֹן השבת YHVH Lord of the Sabbath) and see the truth of YHVH Ameth (יהוה הוא אמת YHVH is Truth). 
And the righteous will see the works of יהוה (YHVH), for it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that tenth month ever move forward in יהוה (YHVH), with a never-ending thirst for righteousness. 
To see יהוה (YHVH) face to face is to know the will of Ve’Daiyan Israel (ודין ישראל Protector/Judge of Israel), the very eye of Ha’Elohim. 
And she is drawn as the eternal eye, Ha’Or En Sof that doth see all in knowledge (Da’at) and in wisdom (Chokhmah). 
¶ And Tzaddi, she is written upon the stars as the fishhook that doth draw one in, leading to action. 
And the Torah doth draweth Israel in, for it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that eleventh month have keen vision in planning, with a calm presence; yet they be passionate of spirit that the ways of יהוה (YHVH) be made clear. 
There being opposition in all things, mankind may be drawn in by the ways of Seth or by the ways of Cain, for there is a path of light and there is a path of darkness, 
And in that path of light there is life and love, but in that path of darkness there is death and Sheol (death), misery and woe. 
And even as YHVH Yir’eh (הארי הוהי YHVH will provide) doth cast in his line to find those swimming, lost in that darkness with the light and love of Ha’Or En Sof, 
So too doth that Adversary cast his hook into the light that he might trap those in it down into woe and darkness. 
And she is drawn as the fishhook, or as the taches, that mankind might be caught up into the righteousness of Ha’Rachaman (ןמחרה the Merciful One). 
¶ And Qof, she is written upon the stars as the sun in the horizon, for it riseth upon the just and the unjust alike. 
And just as the darkness will always break with the dawn, YHVH Raphacha (ךאפר הוהי YHVH Heals/Restores) will always rise to save Israel, when she doth humble herself before יהוה (YHVH); 
For it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that twelfth month, these being inspired by the creation of יהוה (YHVH), let them be swift in renewal; 
And it is even as Moses did say: Let they who are born in that thirteenth month be the peacemakers and they who may be given the blessings to unite the people in the name of יהוה (YHVH) Elohim. 
Let these be encircled in holiness, in the new beginnings, in the restoration of all things; for all things must have a beginning and an end, for the creation is as such. 
And she is drawn as the needle, for the ending of the year is the beginning anew, and the circle of the Creator that never begins and never ends is one eternal round. 
¶ And these are written in the stars from the fourth day of the creation until the end thereof.

Chapter 28

Every Generation

And so it was that Qaphsiel (קפץיאל, God is my hastening) did make an end of his speaking unto me; 
And I did marvel for the breath of it, for it was beyond all that I had known. 
¶ And it came to pass that seeing me thus, Qaphsiel did open his mouth again unto me, saying: Marvel not that I tell you these things, 
For it is not of mankind to have a perfect knowledge of all things, yet all things are given unto mankind that they might gain a portion of them. 
As these signs and wonders travel through the night sky, pray ye that every generation should receive her portion of the Torah that YHVH Ameth (תמא אוה הוהי YHVH is Truth) should give unto them. 
And thou, Zenock, hath received of them, for thou hath been given the Chereb that these things should be written that the world might know them. 
And though many generations should ignore them, and hide them up, they shall not be hidden away for all time; 
But in the last days, the words that thou shalt write shall be given unto mankind again, 
That the promises of YHVH Raphacha (ךאפר הוהי YHVH Heals/Restores) should be kept in the fullness of times. 
And so it was that I did write all that was given me, trusting that it was even for a mighty purpose in יהוה (YHVH).

Chapter 29

In the Beginning

And it came to pass that I was left a lone man in that cave for some time, and there I did pore over these writings as I continued to ponder and pray; 
For I was willing to walk forth and get myself up out of this cave, but I knew not where to go, nor if there was more that YHVH Yir’eh (יהוה יראה YHVH will provide) should desire me to write, or what I should do with these writings. 
And it came to pass that one morning, as I had finished breaking my fast, a malak of יהוה (YHVH), did stand before me, and he did open his mouth, and he did speak unto me saying: 
Zenock, son of Zenoch, son of Joseph and of Levi, I shall teach thee of the mysteries of the Torah of יהוה (YHVH), given thee out of the mouth of Moses, friend of יהוה (YHVH); 
Doth thou know the Torah of Moses? 
¶ And I did open my mouth to answer him, saying: Yea, but this Torah was given unto me mouth to ear from my youth, and I do recite it every day that I should remember it. 
¶ And the angel did speak again, saying: Doth thou understand: In the Beginning? 
And I did speak unto the angel, saying: Yea, in the beginning YHVH did create, by HaShem, HaElohim, and the Heavens, and the Earth; and this YHVH did in both knowledge and wisdom. 
¶ And the angel did speak unto me again, asking me: And what of Ha’Elohim? 
¶ And I did open my mouth again, and I did speak, saying: In the earth it is understood that Ha’Elohim are the gods of all the lands, and unto YHVH was given the lands of Israel as His portion, but this is not so: 
For all the earth is his footstool, and the gods of men did come, being created by mankind; and these did take unto themselves a portion of that which belongeth unto יהוה (YHVH), 
For יהוה (YHVH) did create the earth to be one, a mirror of the heavens, not to be carved up and carried away unto the pride and greed of mankind. 
For when mankind is one, there is more than enough to sustain all life in abundance, but it is the greed of man that creates poverty and cruelty, robbing the earth of justice and mercy. 
¶ And the angel did speak again, saying: It is good and correct, all that thou hath said. 
And I shall tell thee more, and thou shall write it, for I am Tzaphkiel (צפקיאל, Beholder of God), and I shall share with you a mystery. 
Yah did love Yachid, and together in their oneness, the Ruach HaKodesh (רוח הקודש the Holy Spirit) was present; and this is oneness יהוה (YHVH). 
And in Yah, יהוה (YHVH) did create Ha’Elohim (האלהים), and in this Elohim (אלהים) did shape and dispatch (ברא, create) Ha’Elohim (האלהים); 
For all things that exist, even יהוה (YHVH), are intelligent, and יהוה (YHVH) is the greatest intelligence: 
And YHVH is one from everlasting to everlasting; yea, never was there a time when יהוה (YHVH) was not Elohim. 
Yea, never was there a time when יהוה (YHVH) was created, for יהוה (YHVH) is I AM, the Creator, and יהוה (YHVH) is United, יהוה (YHVH) is One, יהוה (YHVH) is Unity. 
This eternal light, Ha’Or En Sof, is of Yah (יה), and through the Hei (ה) it is given, begotten through the Yachid, into this creation. 
This is the light and the life of this world; if it were not so, nothing would be, or in other words, without this light, everything would cease to be: 
And all that could be would be the great sea of waters, or the sea of intelligences, resting in The Presence of the Waters (פני המים Panie HaMayim, or The Face of the Waters), 
For intelligences (from לב, the heart, the true self) are eternal and cannot be changed or destroyed from everlasting to everlasting, only added upon, which is the creation. 
¶ And this light, Ha’Or En Sof, comes down as the emanation of YHVH Elohim, and this is Ha’Elohim who did create all things here upon this earth in this creation in HaShem YHVH; 
Therefore, mankind was created in the image of Elohim, being made to pass the light of the creation through the thirty-two paths to finish this creation. 
¶ But יהוה (YHVH) did allow mankind to keep their agency, and this that mankind might be made from incorruptible to corruptible, and the thirty-two paths became unclean. 
This is what is meant when Moses taught Israel that thistles and thorns should sprout up and that Adam should eat bread by the sweat of his brow; 
For these vessels (kelim) that hold the light on the thirty-two paths became dark and must be cleaned. 
¶ And this is what is meant to walk the thirty-two paths, to keep each vessel (kli) clean upon the path to allow that light to shine forth and heal this creation. 
And these emanations come from the love of God and are seen in the love of mankind for YHVH as mankind cares for this creation.

Chapter 30

Every Generation

And it came to pass that as I did ponder these words, another malak of יהוה (YHVH), Raziel (רזיאל God is my secret) who is Raphael (רְפאל healing of God), did stand before me, and he did open his mouth, and he did speak unto me saying: 
¶ They who are holy and pure, unto these shall Ahman Ha’Olam (אמון העולם Master Architect of the World) share His secret Wisdom, which is to say that only these shall be received into the Presence (Shekinah) of יהוה (YHVH). 
Only in the revelation of the Knowledge of Abba Ha’Briy’ah (אבי הבריאה Father of Creation) and the Wisdom of Shekinah can one receive the Mercy of Shalom YHVH (שלום יהוה Peace of YHVH) and the Strength of Ve’Daiyan Israel (ודין ישראל Protector/Judge of Israel) and bear it. 
And unto these are seals opened and the mysteries of Ha’ Kodesh Israel (קדוש ישראל the Holy One of Israel) given in Peace and Understanding. 
¶ All they who learn the names of יהוה (YHVH), to know and to understand them, shall know HaShem YHVH (השם יהוה The Name YHVH); 
Therefore, learn the names, to know them in Wisdom that you would be humble and cry with joy as you receive them. 
¶ All they who come to Ha’Rachaman (הרחמן the Merciful One) with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, these are the pure in heart, and they shall see Ha’Shalom YHVH (שלום יהוה the Peace of YHVH) and stand in the Presence. 
¶ And behold, this is what it means to be pure of heart, and to heal the heart, for YHVH Raphacha (יהוה רפאך YHVH Heals/Restores) is the Elohim of Healing. 
And the mercy of YHVH Tzidqenu (יהוה צדקנוּ YHVH Our Righteousness) runs deeper than the deepest well, and from Shalom YHVH (שלום יהוה Peace of YHVH) cometh the living waters. 
¶ And the light of Elohim Shaddai (אלוֹה שדי Almighty God/gods) is even brighter than the brightest star, giving grace that those who are lost should find their way in the darkness, and wise are they who shall follow that star until they should find Him. 
Wherefore, gird up thy strength in HaShem YHVH (השם יהוה The Name YHVH), that the power of YHVH Yir’eh (יהוה יראה YHVH will provide) be established forever, 
Passed down unto thee from generation to generation, that thy posterity should rejoice in their unfolding from generation to generation. 
¶ And these words of the Torah given thee of Moses are even as letters carved into gold, coming forth out of that fountain of the revelation of knowledge and wisdom in their purity. 
Yet what of the High Priestess and Prophetess Zipporah? Wife of Moses, the friend of Bora Olam (בורא עולם Creator of the World)? 
Yet her name shall be but a hiss and a byword, unsung and forgotten by the time the earth will ripen and be ready for the harvest. 
¶ And then I stood and marveled at all I had been told, and in my heart, I wondered with great desire to know. 
¶ And the malak of יהוה (YHVH), Raziel (רזיאל God is my secret) did hear the words of my heart, and he did open his mouth, and he did speak unto me saying: 
Open thy mouth, Zenock, son of Zenoch, son of Levi and of Joseph, and speak the mysteries of YHVH Ameth (יהוה הוא אמת YHVH is Truth). 
¶ And it came to pass that I did open up my mouth to speak, yet though it was my tongue, they were not my words, but The Voice (הקוֹל HaKol a name for the Holy Spirit) did speak through me, saying: 
In the last days, HaMashiach will set Himself again the second time to recover his people; 
Wherefore, He will manifest Himself unto them in power and great glory, unto the destruction of their enemies, when that day cometh when they shall believe in Him. 
¶ And none will He destroy who doth believe in him, but they who believe him not shall be destroyed, both by fire, and by tempest, and by earthquakes, and by bloodsheds, and by pestilence, and by famine. 
And these shall know that יהוה (YHVH) is En Sof (אין סוֹף Never Ending), Ha’Kodesh Israel (קדוש ישראל the Holy One of Israel). 
¶ And so it shall be that in the reign of Zimriy shall my soul be returned unto Abba Ha’Briy’ah (אבי הבריאה Father of Creation), and eight hundred and eighty years from the day of my death, in that year shall HaMashiach be born. 
And His name shall be called Sar’Shalom (שרשָלוֹם Minister or Prince of Peace), Yhoshoa (Yeshua), and they who learn of him shall call Him Adoni and Rabbi, or Master. 
¶ And even as Moses did lead Israel out of Egypt, HaMashiach shall lead Egypt out of the bondage of sin; 
And though their trials shall be great, these shall not be the last days, for there will be more yet to come; 
And in the fullness of times shall the Word of Shalom YHVH (שלום יהוה Peace of YHVH) be sent forth unto all they who would receive of it, 
¶ And they who listen and give unto Ha’Rachaman (הרחמן the Merciful One) their broken heart and contrite spirit, these shall receive all understanding of YHVH Adoni Ha’Shaboth (יהוה אדוֹן השבת YHVH, Lord of the Sabbath). 
But they who will hear the Word, and know it to be true by the whisperings of Ruach HaKodesh (רוח הקודש the Holy Spirit), but should spit it out, cast it aside, and fight against the prophets and prophetesses of El Roi (אל ראי God Who Sees), woe be it unto them! 
They who would close their eyes, and reject the prophets and the prophetesses of יהוה (YHVH), you may try to cover your iniquities, but El Roi (אל ראי God Who Sees) doth know them. 
But if thou should at any time, in any moment, turn back in teshuvah from thy sins, Oseh Shalom (עשה שלום Maker of Peace) shall take thee in, and protect thee, and Shekinah shall give thee rest in Her bosom: Amen. 
¶ And it came to pass that after this, I fell to the earth and rested for a time, filled with the Ruach HaKodesh (רוח הקודש the Holy Spirit), and the malakim did stay there with me for a time.

Chapter 31

To Know and to Do

And it came to pass that after this, Raziel (רזיאל God is my secret) did open his mouth again, and he did speak unto me saying: 
The words that thou hast uttered did come up, bubbling forth from that fountain of all knowledge and wisdom, and thou did live through it because of the mercy and strength of thy faith in Tzur Israel (צוּר ישראל Rock of Israel). 
Thy words were more precious than pearls, for they did speak of the glory and righteousness of YHVH Tzidqenu (יהוה צדקנוּ YHVH Our Righteousness). 
Mankind cannot measure the cost of the secrets thou writest, for they are the very words of life, and what is of greater worth than a life? 
¶ All truth comes from Ha’Elohim, as given them by Ha’Yohtzar Ha’Or (היצר האור He Who did Fashion/Create the Light). 
The wise seek this light, Ha’Or En Sof (the light of Christ), it is as a fire that burns from within, to purify mankind, and through them all of creation, if it were not so, all would be in vain. 
And this light, Ha’Or En Sof, comes from the fruit of that very tree of life, and mankind is given a taste as they become worthy; 
But be aware, for with life cometh death, and with eternal life the eternal death and the chains of Sheol. 
By the thunderous awe and wonder (fear) of YHVH Ameth (יהוה הוא אמת YHVH is Truth) is life obtained, is glory obtained, is in the throne of the Oseh Shalom (עשה שלום Maker of Peace) established upon the earth even as it is in the Heavens. 
¶ Salvation is the warning of death, but not the fear of it; the understanding of life is obtained by the revelation of knowledge and wisdom; 
The Power of Ha’Rachaman (הרחמן the Merciful One) is given to mankind by the thunderous awe and wonder (fear) of YHVH El Racham (יהוה אל רחוּם YHVH God of Loving-kindness), 
The fire of the glory of El Elyon (אל עלְיוֹן The Most High God) is the strength of Ben Enosh (בן־אנוש Son of Man), by learning in wisdom and in knowledge is the mercy found as the archers are seen in the clouds. 
This life given unto mankind is not given to dig the hole of death, but to plant the seed in righteousness that Eden might be born anew, and that life shall be found in the garden once more. 
¶ YHVH Tzidqenu (יהוה צדקנוּ YHVH Our Righteousness) fills the Earth with glory, even as in Heaven, will you see it? 
Ahman Ha’Olam (אמון העולם Master Architect of the World) has set five of the seven pillars, and thou, Zenock, art alive in the fifth pillar. 
Seven pillars shall rise as fountains, and shall fall to the honor of the ministers and the multitudes, and why? 
Because the fire that burns eternal cannot burn for any man, but for the Son of Man alone. 
¶ And when the ministers and the multitudes in their thousands place themselves as logs upon the fire, it shall be extinguished, for their passions burn in vain. 
It is YHVH Yir’eh (יהוה יראה YHVH will provide), HaShem YHVH (השם יהוה The Name YHVH) alone that can atone for mankind, 
For there is but one HaMashiach, one Christ, one begotten, one set apart, and one Ha’Rachaman (הרחמן the Merciful One) that shall bring life to the deserts. 
And when the ministers and the multitudes attempt to take upon themselves this power and this glory, they do dig a pit unto themselves, for none can stoke the flames of eternal life but El Olam (אל עוֹלם Everlasting God or Eternal God). 
¶ And the glory of the throne of Abba Ha’Briy’ah (אבי הבריאה Father of Creation) is like unto the quartz of the urim, and the archers in the clouds stand to watch over this creation, 
But mankind seeth them not, for they are blind to the truth of YHVH Ameth (יהוה הוא אמת YHVH is Truth). 
¶ Yea, and mankind doth cover their eyes in fear of truth of death and of Sheol, 
And Ha’Yohtzar Ha’Or (היצר האור He Who did Fashion/Create the Light) doth protect them by placing a mist (or veil) all around them, that they should be blind until they are willing to see truth; 
For that light is ever present, but they see it not, for their eyes are closed and the hidden light is seen only by they who do look for it, that they not be swayed, and unto these is nothing hidden up. 
¶ And those without the light, when they attempt to do the works of righteousness even as they who do stand in the light, they do the works, but their results are not profitable; 
And this because the deepest secrets are hidden from them by the veil of mist that hides the light from their eyes that they see it not. 
The revelations of knowledge and wisdom are only made clear by they who do stand in that light and are not obscured by the darkness of their pride. 
¶ And know this: there is nothing in this world that is not comprehensible, for YHVH Raphacha (יהוה רפאך YHVH Heals/Restores) comprehendeth all things. 
All of the works and all of the desires of mankind are known unto HaShem Gevurah (גבוּרה The Name Strength/Justice); 
Therefore, all that can be known is known, and all works that are made, their motivation too is known by Elohim Chaiyim (אלהים חיים the living God). 
Wherefore, Zenock, not only shall thou do, but thou should know to do also, and in this thou art known by what thy works are and by what they should be.

Chapter 32

Adam

And now, I shall tell thee of what was before the beginning, for before the beginning was Ahman Ha’Olam (אמון העולם Master Architect of the World). 
Ha’Elohim did gather before the throne of Yah, and of יהוה (YHVH), and there Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh (אהיה אשר אהיה The Creator) did say: Who shall I send first? 
¶ And the one who was like God, even Michael, said: Send me. 
¶ And the Ego said, Send me! 
¶ And Oseh Shalom (עשה שלום Maker of Peace) sent the first, and he did become Adam, and his wife, Eve; and these are the life of mankind. 
But the second was angry and was cast out; therefore, the Ego became the adversary of mankind, seeking only to take for himself. 
¶ And this is life and death, life to give and death to take, for in Adam doth mankind find life, in and through that life the light of Ha’Yohtzar Ha’Or (היצר האור He Who did Fashion/Create the Light). 
And as Adam and Eve did read from the book that I did speak unto them, they did learn from the letters and from the words, and thus did they know what was true from what was false by the spirit of it. 
And this knowledge and this wisdom did come unto them from the revelation of the Ha’Or En Sof, by which mankind might discern good from evil, and this because they did partake of the fruit of that tree. 
And in holiness, Adam and Eve did perform the rituals and the ordinances that all mankind might know Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh (אהיה אשר אהיה The Creator). 
¶ And they did write the words of the book upon a stone of sapphire, and the Torah of יהוה (YHVH) given unto Adam and Eve is even this: 
Thou shalt circumcise thy heart; do this that thou might live the Torah and know יהוה (YHVH). 
¶ And unto this Torah there are three degrees: the reverence of fear (or awe) is the first degree, the reverence of petition is the second degree, and the reverence of love is the third degree. 
And the first degree is the fear of judgment, and the second degree is the mitzvoth, the duty of mankind, and the third degree is the birth of the soul, the return to truth (one’s true self). 
And the three degrees are but one degree, for in the first degree is the soul born, and in the third degree the judgement lifted, thus it is to have one degree is to have all three degrees. 
And at the first mankind obeys out of fear, and then desiring reward; but in the end, as moved by the Breath (Ruach HaKodesh רוח הקודש the Holy Spirit), and in this doth mankind grow in the grace of the mercy of יהוה (YHVH). 
And in the first degree, the mist is lifted; and in the second degree, the hidden light is seen; and in the third degree, the deepest of the mysteries (secrets) of YHVH Ameth (יהוה הוא אמת YHVH is Truth) are revealed (or opened). 
¶ Written upon each Torah are the seventy-two names of יהוה (YHVH).

The Visions and Parables of Zenos

Sefer Zenos

Chapter 1

Ten and Seven Flames

Zenos, lost in the wilderness, prepares for death, but instead sees the angel of the Lord and is given a vision of God.

And in the day that I, Zenos, did find myself alone in the wilderness, being driven off course, for I did wander many days alone; 
And it came to pass that in the day that I had lost all hope for the salvation of my life, I did pray into YHVH for the forgiveness of my sins and for the salvation of my eternal soul. 
Yea, and I did pour my heart out unto YHVH for my family, yea even for the sake of my wife and children, yea and for my friends and my neighbors, 
Yea, and for my servants, and for the strangers that did come to dwell among us in the land, and even for those that hateth me; 
Yea, and I did pray for all mankind, that my soul might be pure before YHVH, for the Torah doth proclaim: Hear, O Israel: YHVH is our Elohim, YHVH is Unity. 
And so too doth the Torah proclaim: And thou shalt love YHVH thy Elohim with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 
Holy ye shall be for I, YHVH Elohim, am holy. 
Every man and every woman shall fear and respect their Mother the earth, and their Father in the Heavens, for these are the Creator, and ye, their creation, shall keep my Sabbaths; I am YHVH thy Elohim. 
Be not adulterers, turning unto idols, neither make unto yourselves molten gods, for I am YHVH thy Elohim. 
And when ye shall make thy peace offerings in sacrifice unto YHVH, ye shall offer them of your own will that I might find them acceptable to me. 
And the Torah doth say also: If a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him; but the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, 
And thou shalt love them as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt, and I am YHVH, your Elohim. 
And the Torah doth say also: Ye shall observe all my ordinances and all my customs, and do them; I am YHVH. 
¶ And it came to pass that after I had prayed, being prepared to return to that Elohim who did create me, I beheld that the angel of YHVH came to me saying: I am come being sent from YHVH, 
Mercy be unto thee, and shalom, from He that is, and eternally was, and shall come in the flesh; 
And from the seven malakim who are cherubim which are called to stand before His throne, saying: Unto YHVH be glory and dominion forever and ever! So mote it be, Amen! 
And this they say, for when YHVH shall come with in the flesh His friends shall wound him, and shall pierce him through: 
And when He shall descend from the clouds every eye shall see Him, and all the blood of man upon the earth shall wail, whether with joy in their faith or in sorrow of their sins. So mote it be, Amen! 
¶ And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH gave unto me a scroll, saying: Take thee this scroll and eat it, for it is thy mitzvah from YHVH unto thee. 
And I took it, and I ate of it, and it was bitter, and the pain of it was bitter, yet it was also sweet, as it were honey upon my tongue. 
¶ And it came to pass that having eaten the scroll, when the angel of YHVH spoke, my eyes were opened and I heard as it were a loud voice, as the sound of a shofar, saying: I am Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh, and I have called thee and set thee apart; 
Therefore, write what I shall show unto thee; and it is for thy seed, and for thy brothers, even the seed of Joseph and of Manasseh; and of Ephraim 
And thy words shall be written down and you shall go forth and warn my people; and these words which thou shall write, they shall be lost unto the world, 
But these words shall not be lost unto me, for I shall keep them and preserve them; and at the Last Days they shall be brought forth to teach mine Israel; 
Therefore, read these, my words, unto thy brethren and unto thy seed, and declare teshuvah in my name unto all the land that mine peoples might be spared. 
And say thou unto them: That I shall spare them not should they come not to me in teshuvah. 
¶ And I say unto thee, Zenos: That mine peoples shall reject me, and this must be that they be scattered to the four winds, that the blood of my chosen people should cover all the earth. 
And it came to pass that after the angel of YHVH had finished speaking I fell at his feet to worship him, 
And the angel of YHVH said unto me: Standest thou, and worship me not, for I am the angel of YHVH; therefore, worship Elohim in the spirit of revelation and prophecy. 
¶ And it came to pass that as I turned to see the voice that spake unto me, the angel of YHVH was gone from before me; 
And in his place, I saw as it were ten and seven flames; and from these seven burned more brightly than the others; 
And in the midst of these I saw one who was like unto the Son of Man, clothed in garments from His crown to his feet which touched the earth; 
And girt about the chest with a girdle of gold, his heart being anointed; 
And His eyes were full of wisdom and knowledge, as they were flames of fire; 
And his feet were as eternal glory, never departing to the right nor to the left, but ever forward; 
And in his right hand was mercy, and in his left judgment; 
And his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength; 
And I saw as it were seven stars come from out of his mouth, and each of these held in their hands and in their mouths a sharp two-edged sword. 
And when I saw Him, I fell back to the earth and trembled. 
¶ And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH spoke unto me again, saying: Fear not; for what thou beholdeth is תא Aleph-Tav; the beginning and the end, the Creator and His Creation; and in Him are the keys of sheol; 
And I shall tell thee of the vision thou hast seen, of the things which were, and that are, and shall come to pass, and thou shall write it; 
For the mystery of the seven flames are the seven angels of the seven dispensations which ruleth over the seven days of YHVH.

Chapter 2

Temple of Heaven

Zenos is given another vision explaining his vision of God, he sees the heavens as they prepare the earth.

And it came to pass that after the angel of YHVH had spoken I looked, and I beheld a window opening in the heavens, 
And the voice which I had heard like that of a shofar spoke again unto me, saying: Come thou, and ye shall see that thou might understand that vision of which thou hast seen, 
Yea, come and see that thou mayest know that which came before, and that which must be. 
And I was taken away in the spirit, and I beheld as it were a throne in the heavens, and a Man and a Woman who sat upon the throne; 
And They had in one hand a great sapphire upon which was written the Torah and in the other a great emerald upon which were written the mysteries of the temple; 
And round Their throne I saw as it were twenty-four smaller thrones, and upon these sat twenty-four elders, clothed in their purity and prepared to be sent forth as instructed by YHVH; 
And out of these I saw as it were lightnings and thunderings coming forth, and these were the voices of the seven fires burning before the throne, which are the seven angels of the seven dispensations. 
¶ And before the throne I saw as it were the great urim and thummim,where upon the eyes of Elohim rests; 
And all about the thrones were four beasts whose eyes saw before and behind by the means of the great urim and thummim: 
And the first beast was like a lion, being as it were the fire of judgment, and standing towards the South; 
And the second beast was like an ox, being as it were the earth grounded in wisdom, and standing towards the North; 
And the third beast wore the face of a man, being as it were the waters flowing in mercy and standing towards the East; 
And the fourth beast was like an eagle in flight, being as it were in the air with heavenly knowledge and standing towards the West. 
And I saw that these four beasts were of six wings, and were full of eyes, and they were in constant motion day and night. 
And as they were in motion about the thrones, they, each of them as one, said: Holy, holy, holy, Elohim Shaddai, the very Father and Mother. 
Holy is She who dwelleth in the place which is no place, beyond the infinite height and depth, the infinite of all directions embraced by the Tree of Life; 
And YHVH the fruit of Her tree, the Yachad Yachid Echad who was, and is, and is to come. 
And the beasts did give glory and honor in thanks, and the four and twenty elders did fall down before Him who liveth forever and ever. 
¶ And I beheld that not all did worship, but there was one like unto a great serpent, even a leviathan, and he did cause that a third of the host of heaven should follow after him. 
And I saw as it were a great war in heaven, and Michael and his angels did fight against the leviathan; 
And the leviathan fought and so too his angels, and they prevailed not; neither was their place found anymore in heaven. 
And the great leviathan was cast out, that accuser, he that deceiveth the whole earth; and his envoys were cast out with him. 
And the leviathan was wroth with Shekinah, therefore he did go down to make war with the remnant of her seed, they which keep the Torah and remember the name YHVH; 
And all that dwell in darkness upon the earth shall worship the leviathan, and their names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world. 
¶ And it came to pass that I saw as it were in the midst of the thrones, and elders, and the four beasts, there stood one like unto the Son of Man as a Lamb, waiting to be sent forth to be slain; 
And from Him came the seven angels of the seven dispensations, being sent forth into all the earth by the Son of Man, whose blood should be spilt upon the rock, for terrible are the works of mankind. 
¶ And it came to pass that I heard a voice like unto a shofar call from out of the temple of heaven, saying to the seven angels of the seven dispensations: Go thy ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of YHVH upon the earth.

Chapter 3

First Dispensation

Zenos sees the spiritual vision of the first dispensation, that of Adam and Eve overseen by Michael the archangel who is Adam.

And there came Michael, one of the seven angels of the seven dispensations, with a vile; 
And he spoke unto me, saying: Come I will show unto thee the judgment of she who prostituteth herself upon the many waters, with whom the nations of the earth have committed fornication; 
Yea, and the whole earth hath she made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 
And it came to pass that I was carried away in spirit into the wilderness, and there I saw as it were a woman who sat upon a red serpent, yea even that leviathan; 
And written upon the leviathan were the names of blasphemy unto Elohim Khayyim; 
And the leviathan had, as it were, seven heads and ten horns, and this to mock the seven and ten flames. 
And though she was naked, the woman appeared to be adorned in scarlet , red, and purple, and wearing gold, and precious stones, and pearls; 
And in her right hand she held as it were a golden chalice which was full of abominations and her fornication, and in her hair and her fingers were filthiness; 
And her name is Lilith, and she is the mother of idolaters, and she and Cain walk the earth teaching mankind the abominations written upon that leviathan. 
And it came to pass that I saw as it were the woman lying with Cain, intoxicated by their sins, drunk as it were with the blood of kaddish, and in the blood of all those that have been slain. 
And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH spoke unto me, saying: I shall tell thee the mystery of Lilith, and of the leviathan and his seven heads and his ten horns; 
And the serpent that thou sawest shall ascend out of the abyss, being perdition. 
And here is wisdom: The seven heads are seven lying tongues on which the woman sitteth that shall oppose the seven angels of the seven dispensations, each one in their turn; 
And they are seven rulers of man: five are fallen, and two are yet to come; 
And the ten horns are ten rulers with no power, but they receive power as kings upon the earth for one hour as they join with the leviathan; 
And these being perdition are as one mind, giving their strength and their power unto Lilith and her leviathan, 
For these have made war with Yah, and YHVH shall overcome them, for he is Mashiach HaMashiach, Yachad Yachid Echad, the Great High Priest after the order of Melchizedek. 
And the waters where upon Lilith rested are peoples and nations of the earth; 
And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the leviathan, these shall hate Lilith, and shall make her desolate, stripping her naked, and burning her with fire, 
And this because YHVH shall put in their hearts to fulfil His will, even unto their own detriment should they not return in teshuvah, for the Word of YHVH shall be fulfilled. 
And it came to pass that I saw as it were Shekinah; and she was clothed in a fire as bright as the sun, and she did wear upon her head a crown of twelve stars; 
And I beheld that she was in pain, carrying her child, and the child was ready to be delivered. 
And it came to pass that when the leviathan saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted Shekinah as she sought to bring forth the man child. 
And it came to pass that Lilith and Cain and all those that followed after them worshipped the leviathan, saying: Who is like unto the leviathan? 
And: Who is able to make war with him? 
And: He doeth great wonders, even showering the earth with fire from the heavens, 
And so did these deceive the men of the earth by his priestcrafts called miracles, 
And it came to pass that Lilith and Cain went about commanding the men to make idols to worship the leviathan. 
And it came to pass that I saw that Michael had opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the sound of a shofar, 
And then I heard the beast that was as a lion say: Come and see! 
And I saw as it were a man sitting upon a white horse, and unto him was given a crown, and I beheld that he went forth conquering, and to conquer. 
And it came to pass that I saw Michael sounding his shofar, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, 
And the abaddon were cast lose upon the earth, and they burnt up the third part of the trees and all the green grass. 
And it came to pass that YHVH Elohim called Adam and Eve and their sons and daughters to say unto all they that worshiped the leviathan: YHVH knows thy works, and thy labors, and He shall not long be patient; 
For how many days more dost thou think YHVH will bear them which are evil? 
And thou hast listened to them which say they are holy men and women, and are not, and YHVH hast found them liars. 
And YHVH has seen they that have left their first love; and He has known them but has crossed out their name. 
And to these YHVH says: Remember, O remember, from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do again thy first works; 
And if thou will not, I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy fire out of its place, except thou walk again in teshuvah. 
And unto they that overcometh shall I give them to eat of the tree of life, which ye left behind in the Eden of Elohim. 
And it came to pass that Michael went forth, and poured out his vial upon the earth; 
And there fell a noise as a loud crying, and they which had the mark of the leviathan upon them, and which worshipped his image, were cursed with a sore curse.

Chapter 4

Second Dispensation

Zenos sees the spiritual vision of the second dispensation, that of Enoch and his wives overseen by Zaphkiel or Metatron, the archangel who is Enoch.

And it came to pass that I beheld Zaphkiel open the second seal, and I heard the beast like unto an ox say: Come and see! 
And it came to pass that I saw as it were another horse going out that was red, and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth; 
And that mankind should war and should kill one another, and there was given unto him a great sword. 
And it came to pass that Zaphkiel who is Metatron sounded his shofar, and I saw as it were a great mountain burn with fire, and it was cast into the sea, 
And the third part of the sea became blood; and death became the third part of the creatures which were in the sea; yea, and a third part of the ships were destroyed. 
And it came to pass that I saw as it were the leviathan, being red in color, the same as before, with his seven heads and ten horns, and I beheld that he now had seven crowns upon his heads. 
And I saw, as it were, his tail had drawn up the third of the stars of heaven, and these were cast down upon the earth, and these had spawned the iyrin. 
And it came to pass that I saw as it were the leviathan standing before Shekinah; and she was with child, ready to be delivered; 
And the leviathan stood ready with his teeth bared, as to devour her child as it should leave the womb; 
But to my astonishment, I saw as it were two wings were given to Shekinah, like that of an eagle, and she did fly into the wilderness, 
And I saw as it were that she hid there in safety and was nourished far from the face of that serpent Lilith. 
And it came to pass that there was power given to the leviathan to speak blasphemies even unto the whole earth, save it be the city in the wilderness where Shekinah did dwell; 
But unto the rest of the world, death was given them that would not worship the image of the leviathan; 
And these made war with one another but lived in fear of the city in the wilderness wherein Shekinah dwelt. 
And it came to pass that Metatron poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man, and everything that did live in the sea died. 
And I saw great works of darkness, and tribulation, and poverty—even unto those that were rich of the things of the world. 
And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH said unto me: Fear not any of those things which thou shalt suffer; 
For YHVH has given thee life, and unto all that overcometh the world, these shall not see the second death.

Chapter 5

Zion

Zion and Shekinah flee the Earth.

And it came to pass that I saw as it were Eden, who is Shekinah, who is the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, which is to say wisdom, and the Tree of Life; 
And the seven malak who are cherubim the seven angels of the seven dispensations went down from the heavens into the earth to do the will of YHVH in the whole earth. 
And it came to pass that when Adam and Eve in their generation were sitting outside the gate of the Garden to behold the radiant appearance of the Shekinah, the whole earth was radiant from one end to the other with her splendor, 
And her splendor was greater even than that of the sun at midday, and it blinded the leviathan, and Lilith as she rode upon him; 
And as these traveled, they brought darkness, and the worship of the sun, the moon, and the stars; 
And the worship of the earth, and the worship of the works of the hands of men, which are to worship the leviathan. 
And it came to pass that I saw as it were the seven angels of the seven dispensations come before the throne of Elohim, saying: Elohim Shaddai, what shall we do with the children of Adam? 
For we see that these art gone to worship idols in fornication with Lilith and her leviathan, even that great beast of blasphemy against thy name; 
And what shall we do to cleanse the earth of this abomination, and to lay waste unto the inhabitants of the earth who worship idols? 
And it came to pass that YHVH Elohim lifted up His Shekinah from the earth, from the midst of the idol worship, and there Her name was Zion. 
And I saw as it were the seven angels of the seven dispensations with armies and the hosts of heaven camped as it were roundabout the earth in camps of thousands and tens of thousands hosts; 
And I saw as it were that these fetched their shofars and took the horns in their hands and surrounded the Shekinah of YHVH with songs. 
And it came to pass that Zion ascended to the high heavens, as it is written, and Enoch was lifted up to heaven together with Shekinah. 
And the angel of YHVH came unto me saying: When the Lamb desired to be lifted up upon that tree for the sins of mankind, He first sent Michael the Prince to prepare the earth for YHVH; 
And then he sent Zaphkiel who is Metatron to gather all they that would follow YHVH and to carry them in Shekinah and in great glory in a fiery chariot with horses of flame and fire, driven by malak of glory. 
And it came to pass that I saw as it were YHVH lifting Enoch up to the high heavens together with Shekinah; 
And it came to pass that I saw as it were that when these reached the high heavens, the sapphires whereupon was written the Torah were aflame as though to be burned up in a consuming fire, 
And I puzzled in amazement, wondering what flames could devour the Torah in fire? 
And it came to pass that there came a voice as thunder from the Throne in Heaven saying: Fear not; for because all the children of man have denied me and my kingdom, and have gone a whoring after Lilith, worshipping idols, I have removed my Shekinah from among them and have lifted Her up on high; 
But these whom I have taken from among them are mine elect, even the inhabitants of the Zion come out of the world, for these are equal to one with another in faith, in righteousness, and in perfection. 
And thus, I have taken these from the earth which is my creation under all the heavens unto my bosom, and these shall I return in the last days; 
For these from the generation have I preserved from the Flood, lifting them upon the wings of the wind, taking my Shekinah to the highest heaven that she may sit with me again upon my throne; 
And unto She is given the key to the gates of understanding, and subtlety, and life, and grace, and kindness, and love, and meekness, and preservation, and mercy, and honor; 
And these are given Her that mankind may learn to worship YHVH in wisdom and knowledge unto understanding; 
And in understanding unto mercy and instruction; and in mercy and instruction unto beauty, love, and kindness, and unto victory in my kingdom; 
And this is the foundation , and this is to walk in teshuvah unto splendor; 
And I have adorned mankind with all these good and praiseworthy things; and unto Israel more than all the children of heaven.

Chapter 6

Third Dispensation

Zenos sees the spiritual vision of the third dispensation, that of Noah and Na’amah overseen by Gabriel the archangel who is Noah.

And it came to pass that I saw that Gabriel followed Michael and Metatron, saying: All those who shall worship the leviathan, receiving his mark on their forehead, or in their hand, these shall feel the wrath of YHVH poured out unto thee from the cup of his indignation; 
These things saith He which holdeth in his hands that sharpened two-edged sword; 
For He knows thy works, and where thou dwellest; therefore, hold thee fast the name YHVH, and speak not His holy name in vain! 
Eat not anything sacrificed unto idols, for this is to commit adultery and fornication, but walk thee in teshuvah; 
Or I shall come at thee quickly, and when ye least expect, and will fight against thee with the sword of my mouth; 
But to they that overcome shall be given to eat of the hidden manna, and the fruit of the tree of life, 
And unto these shall be given a new name written upon a white stone, and no one shall look upon the stone and see in it except they that do receive it; 
For the new name given unto the kaddish of YHVH is thy call to service to YHVH in His Holy Priesthood, and the white stone is thy urim and thummim. 
And it came to pass that I saw that Gabriel opened the third seal, and I heard the beast with the face of a man say: Come and see! 
And I saw as it were a black horse, and his rider bore judgment in his right hand, and a sword in his left. 
And it came to pass that Gabriel sounded his shofar, and there fell a great fire from heaven, and it fell upon the third part of the waters on the earth, and a third part of the waters beneath the earth; 
And the waters came forth as a great flood, and many died because of the waters, that there should be a new birth from the cleansing. 
And it came to pass that Gabriel poured his vial out upon the waters; and they became as blood. 
And it came to pass that I heard Gabriel say: Thou art righteous, YHVH, which art, and was, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus; 
For these have made war against thy people, YHVH, and shed the blood of thy servants the prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. 
And it came to pass that I saw, as it were, Shekinah in the wilderness, in the place prepared for her of YHVH, and there I saw that His Shekinah was fed for sixty years. 
And it came to pass that the leviathan spat water out of his mouth as a it were a flood after Shekinah, that he might cause her to be carried away of the waters. 
And the earth did help Shekinah, for the earth did open her mouth swallowing up the flood which the leviathan did cast out of his mouth that the waters could not reach up unto Her. 
And the leviathan opened his mouth to blasphemy against YHVH Elohim, to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 
And it came to pass that after the waters had subsided he caused all mankind to receive a mark upon their right hand, or in their foreheads as an oath and covenant that none might buy or sell, save they had the mark, or the name of the leviathan, or the number of his name. 
And this mark was like unto that with which Cain had been marked by YHVH, to make a mockery of the things of Elohim. 
And the mark of the leviathan is Vav Samekh Mem (666, וסם), and the name of the leviathan is Samael who is Samyaza.

Chapter 7

Fourth Dispensation

Zenos sees the spiritual vision of the fourth dispensation, that of Melchizedek and his wife (wives?) overseen by Raphael the archangel who is Melchizedek.

And it came to pass that I saw as it were the Son of Man standing upon a great mountain, and the strength of Zion with Him; 
And with Him I saw as it were one hundred forty and four thousand kaddish, these having the Holy Name of Elohim written in their foreheads. 
And it came to pass that I heard the angel of YHVH saying: Here are they that keep the commandments of Elohim, in their faith in YHVH. 
And it came to pass that I saw as it were Lilith about the earth calling herself a prophetess, teaching and seducing kaddish to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols; 
And though YHVH had given her space to repent of her fornication, she repented not; 
And I saw that great distress awaited those that went with her into her bed to commit adultery with her, except they return from their deeds. 
Yea, and YHVH did slay her children with death when she left the garden, refusing to return; for YHVH gives unto all, yea everyone, according to their works; 
But unto they that overcometh, and are keeping the Word and the works of YHVH unto the end, to these will He give power and dominion; 
For these YHVH shall rule with the rod of iron; and he shall be their potter, and they His chosen vessels that He shall mold and form; for these He shall receive from Elohim; 
And these that shall be given Him shall be as His morning stars. 
And it came to pass that Raphael opened the fourth seal, and I heard the voice of the beast as an eagle in the air saying: Come and see! 
And I saw as it were a pale horse whose rider is Death; and sheol came after them; 
And power was given them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with a sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. 
And it came to pass that Raphael blew upon his shofar, and the third part of the sun, and of the moon, and of the stars were smitten; 
Yea, and as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise, and the earth was covered in darkness for it would receive not the light. 
And it came to pass that I saw the angel Moroni flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice: Woe unto the inhabitants of the earth for there are three more angels yet to sound! 
And it came to pass that Raphael poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with the judgment of fire. 
And mankind was scorched with a great heat, and cursed the name of Elohim, and they repented not, nor did they come to give Them glory. 
And it came to pass that I saw as it were Shekinah where she was sent away into the wilderness, 
And I beheld that she brought forth a man child; and he is to rule all nations with a rod of iron and his name is King of Peace; 
And by this King of Peace was Shekinah able to travel again from the earth to the heavens. 
And it came to pass that her child was caught up unto Elohim, even as Enoch, and to the thrones I had seen afore. 
And it came to pass that power was given unto the leviathan and Lilith and Cain to make war with the sons and daughters of YHVH, and to overcome them; 
For they had conquered all kindreds, tongues, and people except those ruled over by the King of Peace until Abraham, the servant of YHVH, was born.

Chapter 8

Fifth Dispensation

Zenos sees the spiritual vision of the fifth dispensation, that of Moses and his sister Miriam overseen by Haniel the archangel who is Moses.

And it came to pass that Haniel opened the fifth seal, and I beheld all the souls that have been and were yet to be slain for Israel, and for the testimony which they held. 
And it came to pass that they cried with a loud voice, saying: How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept these wicked people? 
Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy; yea, deliver the poor and needy and rid them out of the hand of the wicked! 
And it came to pass that white robes were given unto each of them; and these were told that their patience was to be rewarded, 
Yea, and that these should rest yet for a little season, for now is the blessed day that the Torah is given unto mankind. 
And it came to pass that Haniel sounded his shofar, and I saw as it were a star fall from heaven unto the earth, and the key to the bottomless pit was given him. 
And it came to pass that Haniel opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. 
And there came out of the smoke ten plagues upon the earth, and unto them was given power to harm the men that would keep Israel from her Elohim. 
And they were commanded that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; 
But only those men which have not the seal of YHVH in their foreheads, yea even those that did not observe the Passover, yea even they without the blood of the Lamb upon their doors. 
And it came to pass that in those days did men seek death, yet did not find it, for though they desired to die, death fled from them; and thus were the avaddon loosed upon the earth. 
And it came to pass that Haniel poured out his vial upon the seat of the leviathan; and his kingdom was full of darkness; 
And these gnawed their tongues from the pain of it and blasphemed the Elohim of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds, but cursed the Torah of YHVH. 
And it came to pass that a loud voice as thunder came saying unto the earth: I know thy works, be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, for I have not found thy works perfect; 
Receive ye, therefore the Torah, and hold fast to it, and walk in teshuvah before YHVH, and behold, there is more yet to come.

Chapter 9

Sixth Dispensation

Zenos sees the spiritual vision of the sixth dispensation, that of Jesus Christ and his wife Mary Magdalene overseen by Zadkiel the archangel who is John the Baptist. (Compare verses 42-44, 67 to 1 Nephi 5:242-244 RAV, 19:10d-10f OPV and verses 71-80 to 1 Nephi 5:245-257 RAV, 19:11-17 OPV)

And it came to pass that I heard again a loud voice from heaven as loud as thunder and sounding as a shofar, saying: Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our Elohim, and the power of His anointed one, the Mashiach HaMashiach; 
For Satan, the accuser of mankind shall be cast down, and the leviathan shall be overcome by the blood of the Lamb; 
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them, and all the earth below! 
And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH said unto me: Come and see! 
And I saw as it were a tree of exceeding beauty, and the tree and its fruit was of an exceeding purity; 
And about the path that did lead to the tree I saw as it were a great mist, and a river of filthy water, and on the other side of that water a great temple dedicated to the leviathan. 
And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH said unto me: Come and see! 
And I looked again toward the tree, but she had gone from before my presence, and in her place, I beheld again Shekinah. 
And I saw as it were the Heavens open; and the angel of YHVH came down and stood before me; saying: Behold, the woman which thou seest, is the mother of YHVH, after the manner of the flesh. 
And I saw as it were Shekinah bearing a child in her arms. 
And the angel said unto me: Behold the Lamb of YHVH, yea, even the Eternal Father! 
Yea, behold the love of YHVH which liveth in the hearts of the children of men! 
And it came to pass that I saw as it were a rod of iron leading to the fountain of living waters and the tree of life, even the white tree alive in the midst of the House of YHVH, Holiness to YHVH; 
And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH said unto me: The Tree of Life is Shekinah that bears the fruit of YHVH; and the waters, His mercy. 
And it came to pass that I saw and beheld the prophet which should prepare the way before Him, wash him in tevilah; 
And after that he was washed clean, the Heavens did open, and Ruach Ha’Kodesh did fall upon Him from the heavens descending. 
And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH spake unto me, saying: Come and see! 
And I saw as it were the Lamb of Elohim, that he was taken by the people; yea, even Elohim Olam, was judged of the world; and He was lifted up and slain for her sins. 
And it came to pass that after He was slain, I saw the multitudes of the earth, that they were gathered together to fight against the Lamb and those kaddish He did call to serve Him; 
And I saw as it were the multitude of the earth gathered together as it were in that great temple dedicated to the leviathan. 
And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH came unto me, saying: They that serve the leviathan hath gathered together here to fight against the Lamb and His kaddish. 
And it came to pass that I saw as it were the temple of the leviathan, which is the pride of the world; and it fell in its haughtiness, and the fall thereof was exceedingly great. 
And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH spoke unto me, saying: Behold the fountain of filthy water, and the depths thereof, these are the abyss of sheol; 
And the mists of darkness are the temptations of Lilith, which blindeth the eyes, and harden the hearts of the children of men, leading them away that they become lost that they might perish; 
And the temple of the leviathan is filled with vain imaginations, and the pride of the children of men. 
And a great and a terrible gulf divides the justice of YHVH, who is the Lamb given in sacrifice from before the beginning of the world, henceforth and forever; 
And thus shall be the destruction of all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, that shall fight against the Lamb and the kaddish of YHVH! 
And it came to pass that the angel of YHVH spoke unto me saying: Come and see! 
And I saw as it were many nations and kingdoms after the order of man, 
And the angel of YHVH spoke unto me again saying: These are the nations and kingdoms of the Gentiles. 
And it came to pass that I saw as it were the sands of the sea, and the leviathan rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the names of blasphemy; 
And it came to pass that he did leadeth mankind into captivity, yea and all did go into captivity; 
And vengeance was his name, saying: He that killeth by the sword must be killed by the sword! 
But Israel is to learn patience and faith, for many did I see that were wounded by the sword and did live, and this because of the Mashiach HaMashiach to come. 
And it came to pass that I saw as it were they which walk in teshuvah, the kaddish no longer defiled with women, or in other words, transgressing the Torah of YHVH; for these are virgins. 
And I saw, as it were, that all they that should follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth, these were redeemed from among mankind, being the first fruits unto Elohim from the Lamb. 
And it came to pass that in their mouth was found no guile; yea, and they are without fault before the throne of Elohim. 
And seeing this, the mercy of YHVH, I cried out saying: Thou hast turned away thy judgments, because of thy Son! 
And the Lamb spoke unto me saying: Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it; 
For though thou hast little strength, thou hast kept my Word, and hast not denied my name; 
And because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 
And it shall come to pass that when Zadkiel shall opened the sixth seal there shall be a great earthquake; and the sun shall become black as the depths of a great well , and the moon become as blood; 
And the stars of heaven shall fall unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 
And the heaven shall depart as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island of the seas shall be moved out of their places. 
And it came to pass that after these things I saw as it were four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 
And I saw the angel Moroni ascending from the east, having the seal of Elohim Chayyim; 
And it came to pass that he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, who were the four beasts standing on the four corners of the earth, saying: Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our Elohim in their foreheads. 
And I saw that there should be sealed one hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. 
Of the tribe of Judah should be sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Reuben should be sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Gad should be sealed twelve thousand, 
Of the tribe of Asher should be sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Naphtali should be sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Manasseh (who is also Dan) should be sealed twelve thousand. 
Of the tribe of Simeon should be sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Levi should be sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Issachar should be sealed twelve thousand, 
Of the tribe of Zabulon should be sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Joseph should be sealed twelve thousand, and of the tribe of Benjamin should be sealed twelve thousand. 
And it came to pass that Zadkiel sounded his shofar, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before Elohim, saying to Zadkiel: Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. 
And it shall come to pass that the four angels shall be loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men; 
And the number of the army of the horsemen were too numerous than I could count, nor could I number them. 
And it shall come to pass that by these will the third part of mankind be killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which shall be issued out of their mouths; 
And their power is in their mouth, and upon their tongues, and in their tails; for their tails were like unto serpents whipping about, and their heads with sharp teeth, and with these they do hurt. 
And it came to pass that the rest of mankind which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood, which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk; 
Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their priestcrafts, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. 
And it came to pass that Zadkiel poured out his vial upon the great rivers and the waters in them dried up. 
And I saw as it were three unclean spirits leap out from the mouth of the leviathan and out of the mouth of Cain, 
And these spirits of abaddon went about working false miracles unto the kings of the earth and unto the whole world, 
For they shall gather to battle Elohim Shaddai, gathering these together to control all trade and commerce upon the earth; 
For these shall be they who shall hand the Lamb of YHVH to be sacrificed upon the tree, and knowing not what they do, these shall scourge him and mock him for the sake of the leviathan. 
But they shall not kill Him, for He is YHVH, and He is the master of life and death; 
And before He shall be taken up, He shall heal the sick, and the blind He shall cause to see, and even the dead shall He raise; 
But in the time that He shall choose, He will give up the ghost gladly that we might live, and on the third day shall He take back His own life, for the keys of the sepulcher are His. 
And it shall come to pass, and the day shall come that the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and every bondman, and every free man shall hide themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 
And these shall say unto the mountains and rocks: Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of They that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; 
Yea, and these shall say: The great day of His wrath is surely come; and who shall be able to stand? 
And YHVH Elohim shall surely visit all the House of Israel at that day; 
Some with His voice, because of their righteousness, unto their great joy and salvation; 
And others, with the thunderings and the lightnings of his power; by tempest, by fire, and by smoke, and vapor of darkness, and by the opening of the earth, and by mountains which shall be carried up. 
And all these things must surely come, and the rocks of the earth must rend; 
And because of the groanings of the earth, many of the kings of the isles of the sea shall be wrought upon by Ruach Ha’Kodesh, to exclaim: The Elohim of nature suffers. 
And those at Jerusalem shall be scourged by all people because they crucify YHVH, and turned their hearts aside, rejecting signs, and wonders, and power and glory of YHVH; 
And because they turned their hearts aside and have despised Ha’Kadosh Israel, they shall wander in the flesh, and perish, and become a hiss and a byword, and be hated among all nations; 
Nevertheless, when that day cometh that they no more turn aside their hearts against the Ha’Kadosh Israel, then will He remember the covenants which He made to their fathers; 
Yea, then will He remember the isles of the sea; yea, and all the people which are of the House of Israel, will I gather in, saith YHVH, from the four quarters of the earth; 
Yea, and all the earth shall see the salvation of YHVH; every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, shall be blessed.

Chapter 10

Seventh Dispensation

Zenos sees the spiritual vision of the seventh dispensation, that of Joseph Smith Jr. and his wives Emma Smith and Eliza Snow, overseen by Ariel the archangel who is also known as Uriel. (Compare 57-66 to Alma 16:178-184 RAV, 33:4-11 OPV)

And it came to pass that I saw the last days, and woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! 
For the Leviathan and Lilith and Cain and their avaddon shall come unto you, and these shall come forth with a great wrath, because they knoweth that they hath but a short time left. 
And it came to pass that I saw as it were a great beast at the last day like unto a leopard ready to pounce, and his feet were as the feet of a bear prepared to maul, and his mouth as that of a lion waiting to devour. 
And it shall come to pass that the leviathan will give him power and great authority and fame in the world of man, his name being known for both good and evil among mankind. 
And it shall come to pass that one of his heads shall be wounded as it were unto death; 
And his deadly wound shall be healed; and because of this all the world shall wonder after the leviathan and Lilith. 
And it came to pass that I saw as it were another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as the leviathan. 
And he shall make use of all the powers of the first beast before him and shall cause the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 
And here is a great secret: the great beast is the church of avaddon, and though it shall be thought destroyed in reformation, it shall even live; 
And the second beast shall be as the first, and shall teach that there is no Elohim, and great shall be his evangelists in the sight of mankind. 
And the prophets of these beasts shall serve the leviathan, and these shall come into Israel as Pride, Ego, and Sin, lusting after the things of the flesh; 
For behold, I say unto you that there are save two churches only: Israel and the church of avaddon; and these are not the gatherings of mankind but are in them the men and women that are gathered. 
And this is why YHVH hath said unto those who breathe neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot; 
Therefore unto those that art lukewarm, being neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. 
For these are the rich of this world who say: I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; 
Yet these are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked, being lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, for they are indifferent, with no love in their hearts for their fellow man. 
Wherefore, I say unto these: Give thy gold unto the poor that thou mayest be rich and I shall dress thee in white garments, that thou mayest be clothed in righteousness. 
And it shall come to pass that when Ariel shall open the seventh seal, there will be silence in the heavens for a short time. 
And it came to pass that I saw as it were the seven angels of the seven dispensations which stood before YHVH Elohim; and to them were given seven shofars. 
And it came to pass that another angel came and stood at the altar, and there, with the burning of frankincense, he offered the prayers of all the kaddish upon the golden altar which was before the throne of Elohim. 
And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the kaddish, ascended up before YHVH Elohim out of the angel's hand. 
And the angel took fire from off the altar and cast it into the earth which did bring thunder, and lightning, and an earthquake. 
And it came to pass that the seven angels of the seven dispensations placed their shofars to their lips prepared to sound again, for this shall be the final dispensation before the coming of Yahshua HaMashiach. 
And it came to pass that I saw the angel Moroni fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 
And he did call out with a loud voice, saying: Fear YHVH, and give glory to Him; for the hour of his judgment is come; 
Bow down and worship Him that made the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. 
And it came to pass that Uriel followed after him, saying: Sodom is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, 
And she helped not the poor, nor the widowed, giving not of her bread, but was full of the pride of her abominations. 
And I saw as it were a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of Man, having a golden crown (keter) upon His head, and a sharp sickle in His right hand. 
And it came to pass that Haniel came forth from out of the heavenly temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud: Thrust in thy sickle, and reap! 
And: See that the time has come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. 
And He that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. 
And it came to pass that Sandalphon came forth from out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 
And it came to pass that Moroni came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and called out with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying: Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. 
And it came to pass that Sandalphon thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of YHVH. 
And it came to pass that I saw as it were that the winepress was trodden, and blood came out of the winepress, and the winepress was full, yea and even runneth over. 
And it came to pass that I saw Raziel who is Raphael come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud; 
And a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire; 
And he had in his hand as it were a small book, and he opened the book, and he planted his right foot in the mercy of YHVH, and his left foot in the wisdom of Shekinah; 
And Raziel cried out with a loud voice, and the other six of the seven malak who are cherubim over the seven dispensations cried with him. 
And it came to pass that when the seven angels of the seven dispensations had uttered their voices, I heard them with voices as it were lions, saying: 
May YHVH brighten our eyes with the light of His Torah, with wisdom and knowledge may He place in our hearts His understanding that all may be worthy to greet Him; for He will enlighten they that hear! 
Awaken therefore the heart with eternal victory, to make the heart shine with brilliance. 
And more did they say that I am forbidden to say, but their words are sealed up. 
And it came to pass that Areal who is Uriel sounded his shofar and there were great voices in heaven, saying: The kingdoms of the earth are become the kingdoms of YHVH, and he shall reign forever and ever. 
And I saw as it were the twenty-four elders which sat before the throne of Elohim fell upon their faces, 
And these worshipped YHVH, saying: We give thee thanks, YHVH Elohim Shaddai, which art, and wast, and art to come, because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. 
And it came to pass that Uriel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying: It is done. 
And I heard as it were numerous voices of men and women in heaven, saying: Alleluia! Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto YHVH our Elohim, for true and righteous are His judgments! 
And he hath judged Lilith, who did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of His servants at her hand! Alleluia! 
And the twenty-four elders and the four beasts all fell down and worshipped the Elohim that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia! 
And a voice came out of the throne, saying: Praise our Elohim, all ye Their servants, and ye that fear YHVH, both great and small. 
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying: Alleluia! And YHVH Elohim omnipotent reigneth; 
Therefore, let us be rejoicing in the day of our salvation, and give honor to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and Shekinah hath made herself ready. 
And to Her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white, and the fine linen is the righteousness of kaddish. 
And the angel of YHVH said: Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb! 
And it came to pass that beholding all this, I fell to the earth saying: Thou art merciful O Elohim, for thou hast heard my prayer, even when I was in the wilderness; 
Yea, thou wast merciful when I prayed concerning those which were mine enemies, and thou didst turn them to me; 
Yea, O YHVH, and thou wast merciful unto me when I did cry unto thee in my field; when I did cry unto thee in my prayer, and thou didst hear me. 
And again, O Elohim, when I did turn to my house thou didst hear me in my prayer, and when I did turn unto my closet, O YHVH, and prayed unto thee, thou didst hear me; 
Yea, thou art merciful unto thy children, when they cry unto thee to be heard of thee, and not of men; and thou wilt hear them; 
Yea, O Elohim, thou hast been merciful unto me, and heard my cries in the midst of thy congregations; 
Yea, and thou hast also heard me when I have been cast out, and have been despised by mine enemies; 
Yea, thou didst hear my cries, and wast angry with mine enemies, and thou didst visit them in thine anger, with speedy destruction; 
And thou didst hear me because of mine afflictions and my sincerity; and it is because of thy Son that thou hast been thus merciful unto me; 
Therefore I will cry unto thee in all mine afflictions; for in thee is my joy; for thou hast turned thy judgments away from me, because of thy Son.

Chapter 11

The parable of the roots and the branches.

(Compare to Jacob 3:30b-153 RAV, 52-77 OPV)

And it came to pass that, the vision having ended, the angel of YHVH came unto me gain saying: Open thy mouth and speak thee the Word of YHVH that thou shalt cry unto this nation. 
And it came to pass that I, Zenos, opened my mouth and began to prophesy, saying: Hearken O ye House of Israel, and hear the words of me, a prophet of YHVH! 
For behold, thus saith YHVH, I will liken thee, O House of Israel, like unto a tame olive tree, which a man took and nourished in his vineyard; and it grew, and waxed old, and began to decay. 
And it came to pass that the master of the vineyard went forth, and he saw that his olive tree began to decay; and he sayeth: I will prune it, and dig about it, and nourish it, that perhaps it may shoot forth young and tender branches, and it perish not. 
And it came to pass that he pruned it, and digged about it, and nourished it, according to his word. 
And it came to pass that after many days, it began to put forth somewhat a little, young and tender branches; but behold, the main top thereof began to perish. 
And it came to pass that the master of the vineyard saw it, and he sayeth unto his servant: It grieveth me that I should lose this tree; wherefore, go and pluck the branches from a wild olive tree, and bring them hither unto me; 
And we will pluck off those main branches which are beginning to wither away, and we will cast them into the fire, that they may be burned. 
And behold, saith the Lord of the vineyard, I take away many of these young and tender branches, and I will graft them whithersoever I will; 
And it mattereth not that if it so be, that the root of this tree will perish, I may preserve the fruit thereof unto myself; wherefore, I will take these young and tender branches, and I will graft them whithersoever I will. 
Take thou the branches of the wild olive tree, and graft them in, in the stead thereof; and these which I have plucked off, I will cast into the fire, and burn them, that they may not cumber the ground of my vineyard. 
And it came to pass that the servant of the Lord of the vineyard, having done according to the word of the Lord of the vineyard, and grafted in the branches of the wild olive tree. 
And the Lord of the vineyard caused that it should be digged about, and pruned, and nourished, saying unto his servant: It grieveth me that I should lose this tree; 
Wherefore, that perhaps I might preserve the roots thereof that they perish not, that I might preserve them unto myself, I have done this thing; 
Wherefore, go thy way; watch the tree, and nourish it, according to my words. 
And these will I place in the nethermost part of my vineyard, whithersoever I will, it mattereth not unto thee; 
And I do it, that I may preserve unto myself the natural branches of the tree; and also, that I may lay up fruit thereof, against the season, unto myself, for it grieveth me that I should lose this tree, and the fruit thereof. 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard went his way, and hid the natural branches of the tame olive tree in the nethermost parts of the vineyard; some in one, and some in another, according to his will and pleasure. 
And it came to pass that that after much time had passed, the Lord of the vineyard sayeth unto his servant: Come, let us go down into the vineyard, that we may labor in the vineyard. 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard, and also the servant, went down into the vineyard to labor. 
And it came to pass that the servant sayeth unto his master: Behold, look here; behold the tree. 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard looked and beheld the tree, in the which the wild olive branches had been grafted; and it had sprang forth, and began to bear fruit. 
And he beheld that it was good; and the fruit thereof was like unto the natural fruit. 
And he sayeth unto the servant: Behold, the branches of the wild tree hath taken hold of the moisture of the root thereof, that the root thereof hath brought forth much strength; 
And because of the much strength of the root thereof, the wild branches hath brought forth tame fruit. 
Now if we had not grafted in these branches, the tree thereof would have perished. 
And now, behold, I shall lay up much fruit, which the tree thereof hath brought forth; and the fruit thereof I shall layup, against the season, unto mine own self. 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard sayeth unto the servant: Come, let us go to the nethermost part of the vineyard, and behold if the natural branches of the tree hath not brought forth much fruit also, that I may lay up of the fruit thereof, against the season, unto mine own self. 
And it came to pass that they went forth whither the master of the vineyard had hid the natural branches of the tree, and he sayeth unto the servant: Behold these. 
And he beheld the first, that it had brought forth much fruit; and he beheld also, that it was good. 
And he sayeth unto the servant: Take of the fruit thereof, and lay it up, against the season, that I may preserve it unto mine own self, 
For behold, this long time have I nourished it, and it hath brought forth much fruit. 
And it came to pass that the servant sayeth unto his master: How comest thou hither to plant this tree, or this branch of the tree? For behold, it was the poorest spot in all the land of thy vineyard. 
And the Lord of the vineyard sayeth unto him: Counsel me not! I knew that it was a poor spot of ground; wherefore, I said unto thee, I have nourished it this long time; and thou beholdest that it hath brought forth much fruit. 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard sayeth unto his servant: Look hither: behold, I have planted another branch of the tree also; and thou knowest that this spot of ground was poorer than the first, 
But, behold the tree: I have nourished it this long time, and it hath brought forth much fruit; therefore, gather it, and lay it up, against the season, that I may preserve it unto mine own self. 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard sayeth again unto his servant: Look hither, and behold another branch also, which I have planted; behold that I have nourished it also, and it hath brought forth fruit. 
And he sayeth unto the servant: Look hither, and behold the last; yea, behold: this have I planted in a good spot of ground, and I have nourished it this long time, and only a part of the tree hath brought forth tame fruit; and the other part of the tree hath brought forth wild fruit: behold, I have nourished this tree like unto the others. 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard sayeth unto the servant: Pluck off the branches that have not brought forth good fruit, and cast them into the fire. 
But behold, the servant sayeth unto him: Let us prune it, and dig about it, and nourish it a little longer, that perhaps it may bring forth good fruit unto thee, that thou canst lay it up against the season. 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard, and the servant of the Lord of the vineyard, did nourish all the fruit of the vineyard. 
And it came to pass that a much time had passed away, and the Lord of the vineyard sayeth unto his servant: Come, let us go down into the vineyard, that we may labor again in the vineyard; 
For behold, the time draweth near, and the end soon cometh, wherefore, I must lay up fruit, against the season, unto mine own self. 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard, and the servant, went down into the vineyard; and they came to the tree whose natural branches had been broken off, and the wild branches had been grafted in; and behold, all sorts of fruit did cumber the tree. 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard did taste of the fruit, every sort according to its number. 
And the Lord of the vineyard saith: Behold, this long time have we nourished this tree, and I have laid up unto myself against the season, much fruit. 
But behold, this time it hath brought forth much fruit, and there is none of it which is good. 
And behold, there are all kinds of bad fruit; and it profiteth me nothing, notwithstanding all our labor: and now, it grieveth me that I should lose this tree. 
And the Lord of the vineyard sayeth unto the servant: What shall we do unto the tree, that I may preserve again good fruit thereof unto mine own self? 
And the servant sayeth unto his master: Behold, because thou didst graft in the branches of the wild olive tree, they have nourished the roots, that they are alive, and they have not perished; wherefore, thou beholdest that they are yet good. 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard sayeth unto his servant: The tree profiteth me nothing, and the roots thereof profiteth me nothing, so long as it shall bring forth evil fruit. 
Nevertheless, I know that the roots are good; and for mine own purpose I have preserved them; and because of their much strength, they have hitherto brought forth from the wild branches, good fruit. 
But behold, the wild branches have grown, and have overran the roots thereof; and because that the wild branches have overcome the roots thereof, it hath brought forth much evil fruit; 
And because that it hath brought forth so much evil fruit, thou beholdest that it begineth to perish; and it will soon become ripened, that it may be cast into the fire, except we should do something for it to preserve it. 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard sayeth unto his servant: Let us go down into the nethermost parts of the vineyard and see if the natural branches have also brought forth evil fruit. 
And it came to pass that they went down into the nethermost parts of the vineyard. 
And it came to pass that they beheld that the fruit of the natural branches had become corrupt also; yea, the first, and the second, and also the last; and they had all become corrupt: 
And the wild fruit of the last, had overcome that part of the tree which brought forth good fruit, even that the branch had withered away and died. 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard wept, and sayeth unto the servant: What could I have done more for my vineyard? 
Behold, I knew that all the fruit of the vineyard, save it were these, had become corrupted, and now, these which have once brought forth good fruit, have also become corrupted; 
And now, all the trees of my vineyard are good for nothing, save it be to be hewn down and cast into the fire! 
And behold, this last, whose branch hath withered away, I did plant in a good spot of ground; yea, even that which was choice unto me, above all other parts of the land of my vineyard. 
And thou beheldest that I also cut down that which cumbered this spot of ground, that I might plant this tree in the stead thereof. 
And thou beheldest that a part thereof, brought forth good fruit; and a part thereof, brought forth wild fruit. 
And because that I plucked not the branches thereof, and cast them into the fire, behold, they have overcome the good branch, that it hath withered away. 
And now behold, notwithstanding all the care which we have taken of my vineyard, the trees thereof hath become corrupted, that they bring forth no good fruit: 
And these I had hope to preserve, to have laid up fruit thereof, against the season, unto mine own self. 
But behold, they have become like unto the wild olive tree; and they are of no worth, but to be hewn down and cast into the fire, and it grieveth me that I should lose them. 
But what could I have done more in my vineyard? Have I slackened mine hand, that I have not nourished it? 
Nay; I have nourished it, and I have digged it, and I have pruned it, and I have dunged it; and I have stretched forth mine hand almost all the day long; and the end draweth nigh. 
And it grieveth me that I should hew down all the trees of my vineyard, and cast them into the fire, that they should be burned. 
Who is it that hath corrupted my vineyard? 
And it came to pass that the servant sayeth unto his master: Is it not the loftiness of thy vineyard? Hath not the branches thereof overcame the roots, which are good? And because that the branches have overcame the roots thereof? 
For behold, they grew faster than the strength of the roots thereof, taking strength unto themselves; behold, I say, is not this the cause that the trees of thy vineyard hath become corrupted? 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard sayeth unto the servant: Let us go to, and hew down the trees of the vineyard, and cast them into the fire, that they shall not cumber the ground of my vineyard; 
For I have done all, yea and what more could I have done more for my vineyard? 
But behold, the servant saith unto the Lord of the vineyard: Spare it a little longer. 
And the Lord saith: Yea, I will spare it a little longer; for it grieveth me that I should lose the trees of my vineyard; wherefore, let us take of the branches of these which I have planted in the nethermost parts of my vineyard, 
And let us graft them into the tree from whence they came, and let us pluck from the tree, those branches whose fruit is most bitter, and graft in the natural branches of the tree, in the stead thereof. 
And this will I do, that the tree may not perish, that perhaps I may preserve unto myself the roots thereof, for mine own purpose. 
And behold, the roots of the natural branches of the tree which I planted whithersoever I would, are yet alive; 
Wherefore, that I may preserve them also, for mine own purpose, I will take of the branches of this tree, and I will graft them in unto them. 
Yea, I will graft in unto them the branches of their mother tree (Shekinah), that I may preserve the roots also unto mine own self, that when they shall be sufficiently strong, that perhaps they may bring forth good fruit unto me, and I may yet have glory in the fruit of my vineyard. 
And it came to pass that they took from the natural tree which had become wild, and grafted in unto the natural trees, which also had become wild; and they also took of the natural trees which had become wild and grafted into their mother tree (Shekinah). 
And the Lord of the vineyard sayeth unto the servant: Pluck not the wild branches from the trees, save it be those which are most bitter; and in them ye shall graft, according to that which I have said. 
And we will nourish again the trees of the vineyard, and we will trim up the branches thereof; and we will pluck from the trees those branches which are ripened, that must perish, and cast them into the fire. 
And this I do, that perhaps the roots thereof may take strength, because of their goodness; and because of the change of the branches, that the good may overcome the evil; 
And because that I have preserved the natural branches, and the roots thereof; and that I have grafted in the natural branches again, into their mother tree; 
And have preserved the roots of their mother tree (Shekinah), that perhaps the trees of my vineyard may bring forth again good fruit; and that I may have joy again in the fruit of my vineyard; 
And perhaps that I may rejoice exceedingly, that I have preserved the roots and the branches of the first fruit; 
Wherefore, go to, and call servants, that we may labor diligently with our might in the vineyard, that we may prepare the way, that I may bring forth again the natural fruit, which natural fruit is good, and the most precious above all other fruit. 
Wherefore, let us go to, and labor with our might, this last time: for behold, the end draweth nigh; and this is for the last time that I shall prune my vineyard. 
Therefore graft in the branches: begin at the last, that they may be first, and that the first may be last, and dig about the trees, both old and young, the first and the last, and the last and the first, that all may be nourished once again for the last time. 
Wherefore, dig about them, and prune them, and dung them once more, for the last time, for the end draweth nigh, and if it so be that these last grafts shall grow, and bring forth the natural fruit, then shall ye prepare the way for them, that they may grow; 
And as they begin to grow, ye shall clear away the branches which bring forth bitter fruit, according to the strength of the good and the size thereof; 
And ye shall not clear away the bad thereof, all at once, lest the roots thereof should be too strong for the graft, and the graft thereof shall perish, and I lose the trees of my vineyard, for it grieveth me that I should lose the trees of my vineyard; 
Wherefore, ye shall clear away the bad, according as the good shall grow, that the root and the top may be equal in strength, until the good shall overcome the bad, and the bad be hewn down and cast into the fire, that they cumber not the ground of my vineyard; 
And thus will I sweep away the bad out of my vineyard, and the branches of the natural tree, will I graft in again, into the natural tree; and the branches of the natural tree, will I graft into the natural branches of the tree; 
And thus will I bring them together again, that they shall bring forth the natural fruit: and they shall be one. 
And the bad shall be cast away; yea, even out of all the land of my vineyard: for behold, only this once will I prune my vineyard. 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard sent his servant; and the servant went and did as the Lord had commanded him and brought other servants; and they were few. 
And the Lord of the vineyard saith unto them: Go to, and labor in the vineyard, with your might; for behold, this is the last time that I shall nourish my vineyard:, 
For the end is nigh at hand, and the season speedily cometh; and if ye labor with your mights with me, ye shall have joy in the fruit which I shall lay up unto myself, against the time which will soon come. 
And it came to pass that the servants did go to it, and labor with their might; and the Lord of the vineyard labored also with them: and they did obey the commandments of the Lord of the vineyard, in all things. 
And there began to be the natural fruit again in the vineyard, and the natural branches began to grow and thrive exceedingly, and the wild branches began to be plucked off, and to be cast away; 
And they did keep the root and the top thereof, equal, according to the strength thereof. 
And thus they labored, with all diligence, according to the commandments of the Lord of the vineyard, even until the bad had been cast away out of the vineyard, and the Lord had preserved unto himself, that the trees had become again the natural fruit; 
And they became like unto one body; and the fruit were equal; and the Lord of the vineyard had preserved unto himself the natural fruit, which was most precious unto him from the beginning. 
And it came to pass that when the Lord of the vineyard saw that his fruit was good, and that his vineyard was no more corrupt, he calleth up his servants and sayeth unto them: Behold, for this last time have we nourished my vineyard; 
And thou beholdest that I have done according to my will; and I have preserved the natural fruit, that it is good, even like as it was in the beginning; and blessed art thou. 
For because that ye have been diligent in laboring with me in my vineyard, and have kept my commandments, and hath brought unto me again the natural fruit, that my vineyard is no more corrupted, and the bad is cast away, 
And behold, ye shall have joy with me, because of the fruit of my vineyard; 
For behold, for a long time will I lay up of the fruit of my vineyard unto mine own self, against the season, which speedily cometh; and for the last time have I nourished my vineyard, and pruned it, and dug about it, and dunged it; 
Wherefore I will lay up unto mine own self of the fruit, for a long time, according to that which I have spoken. 
And when the time cometh that evil fruit shall again come into my vineyard, then will I cause the good and the bad to be gathered; 
And the good will I preserve unto myself; and the bad will I cast away into its own place; 
And then cometh the season and the end; and my vineyard will I cause to be burned with fire. 
And in the day that YHVH shall set his hand again the second time to recover his people, is the day, yea, even the last time, that the qaddish (holy ones or saints) of YHVH shall go forth in his power, to nourish and prune his vineyard; and after that, the end soon cometh. 
And how blessed are they who have labored diligently in His vineyard; and how cursed are they which shall be cast out into their own place, and the world shall be burned with fire.

Chapter 12

The Parable of the Banquet

the Eighth Dispensation.

And it came to pass that I, Zenos, spoke again another parable in prophecy, saying: And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard had two sons, and the first was selfish, and would eat at foreign tables, learning the ways of idolaters and eating unclean food. 
And the second was faithful and did only eat at his father’s table, and there in his father’s house he was permitted to remain. 
And unto the faithful son did the Lord of the vineyard say: Let thy garments always be white and let not oil be wanting for thine head. 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard made for a banquet and invited all, even the travelers and strangers; 
But the unfaithful son was told he should not come, not of his deed but by the wounding of his pride, and so he went away in shame; 
Therefore, he did go about telling false rumors about his Father, the Lord of the vineyard. 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard hired a great number of laborers to work in his vineyard. 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard did gather the laborers taking them into the midst of his vineyard (pardes), yet he told them not what their wage should be by the work there, and this that the they might not be neglectful; 
And it came to pass that when the evening was come the Lord of the vineyard did call each one of them, asking: Where within my vineyard didst thou labor? 
And it came to pass that one answered unto him, saying: I labored in the east of the garden under a certain tree, and the Lord of the vineyard said: Unto thee shall be given a single gold piece. 
And unto another who had labored in the west part of the garden under another tree, he said: Unto thee shall be given two hundred gold pieces; 
And thus it was throughout all of his servants, each being given that which they were due. 
And it came to pass that his servants came unto him saying: Why didst thou not say unto us the price of hire within thy vineyard? 
But the Lord of the vineyard answered them saying: How then should my vineyard be cared for? 
Wouldst not my servants only look after that part of my vineyard that giveth the greatest reward? And the rest of my vineyard would fall then to the wayside and should surely die? 
But if thou shall be about my business, I shall see who doth care for the most precious parts of my vineyard, and when evening doth come I shall reward them. 
And it came to pass that there was one among them who worked with much vigor, greater so than all the others, and yea even more than he was tasked. 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard went forth and took this the good servant by the hand and walked about the vineyard and he did talk with him. 
And it came to pass that when evening came, all the laborers came to the Lord of the vineyard to receive the reward of their labors; 
And that good and faithful servant came with them, and the Lord of the vineyard paid him a full day’s wage. 
And it came to pass that the other laborers complained one to another, saying: Behold we have worked from morn until eve while this that one hast worked but a few hours, and yet the master has given him a full day's pay? 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard said: Who art thou to envy? 
Doth not the Law say: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor’s? 
So too didst my good and faithful servant do more in a few hours than thou didst, who toiled all day. 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard sent word to all saying: Wash ye, make ye clean, and anoint yourselves, and wash your clothes and prepare yourselves for the banquet; yet he did not appoint a time. 
And it came to pass that the faithful among them made themselves ready and waited at the entrance of the vineyard. 
And these did say: In the Master’s vineyard, nothing will be wanting, and there need be no signs of preparation, yet the feast may be at any time. 
And it came to pass that the foolish among them did prepare themselves not, for these did listen to the pride of the wicked son who set forth to place his name above that of the Lord of the vineyard. 
And it came to pass that these foolish did say: There cannot be a great banquet without much commotion and trouble, and the gathering of stores and provisions; 
Therefore, we need not disturb ourselves until we see the signs; therefore, we shall be watchful of the signs that we may know. 
And it came to pass that they joined themselves with their fellows, and thought not too feed the poor, but went away seeking after signs, and took no thought of the word of the Lord of the vineyard. 
And each went about their way, and the foolish did make much gossip about those that stood ready, and did seek unto themselves the signs and wonders, reading much into nothing. 
And it came to pass suddenly, the word of the Lord of the vineyard: Let all come to the banquet! 
And the servants of the Master hastened the wise and the faithful and pressed them to come at the bidding of the Lord of the vineyard. 
Then those that had prepared themselves, came in their honor and their glory, and those fools that had not prepared themselves, came in their pollution and uncleanliness. 
And the faithful servant came last, for he stood ready and ensured that all were present and presented before the Lord of the vineyard. 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard did rejoice over the wise and faithful that had done according to his bidding, and who, moreover, had honored the beauty of His vineyard; 
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard was angry with those who had taken no heed of his word, and who had polluted his vineyard with all the uncleanliness that clung about their garments, and who had treated it with contempt. 
And it came to pass that these cried out saying: Let us in, for we went seeking thee, we looked for thy signs and wonders! 
Then the Lord of the vineyard came saying: Those that have prepared themselves for my presence, and were ready when I called, shall come and feast at my table, and those that did not prepare themselves shall not eat at the banquet; 
And those that did not, but listened instead to my foolish son, were not prepared and therefore are not worthy. 
And it came to pass that the wise among them thought that they might depart, for these were in fear of the great wrath of the Lord of the vineyard, 
And it came to pass that the Master replied: No, but ye shall stay in my vineyard, for ye are worthy of it, 
Yea, sit and eat at the banquet table; and eat and drink resting, while these stand upon their feet, and are smitten, and look on, distressed, and let thy garments at all times be white. 
And it came to pass that after I had finished speaking, I stood in wonder over the banquet in the vineyard. 
And it came to pass that as I stood wondering, the heavens were again opened unto me, and there I saw as it were a new heaven and a new earth, and I didst behold that the first heaven and the first earth were passed away. 
And I saw as it were Zion, the holy city, coming down from Elohim out of heaven, and Shekinah prepared as a bride adorned for Her husband. 
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying: Behold, the temple of YHVH is with Adam, and YHVH shall dwell with them, and they shall be his people; 
And there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 
And I saw as it were They that sat upon the throne saying: Behold, I make all things new; therefore prepare thyselves for that which is to come; So mote it be; even so, Amen, and Amen. 
And the vision was closed unto me, and the angel of YHVH said unto me: All these things that thou hast seen are of the heavens, 
For all things happen in the realm of the heavens at the first, and then upon the earth, that all things be as one. 
Therefore I, Zenos, say unto thee, prepare ye for the great and dreadful day of YHVH! 
Yea, keep thy garments clean and stand ready for the day when the earth and the heavens shall again be one.

Neum

The Oracle or the Declarations

A collection of the utterances of the Oracle of YHVH, who did dance in prophecy to know the will of YHVH for His Israel and the children of Judah.

One

YHVH is our Elohim,
YHVH has dominion over the whole of creation;
YHVH is One,
YHVH is Unity. 
By YHVH was the world created;
the creation of YHVH is One,
by the providence of YHVH is the creation governed. 
Lift up your eyes on high and behold!
Who is it that has created all things?
Lift up your eyes on high and see! 
By the pathakh azeen will you recognize Ha’Elohim;
who is the Creator?
Even as Moses was told:
I AM that I AM. 
And who is YHVH?
Who is YHVH that should be given dominion over the heavens above?
For do not all things exist by the very will of YHVH? 
YHVH is the visible and the invisible which you seek;
therefore, that which is beyond YHVH is vanity,
for there is nothing beyond YHVH:
YHVH is One. 
To seek after one thing is to seek after all things;
all is One in YHVH,
in YHVH are all things One;
YHVH is the beginning,
YHVH is the End. 
What shall I liken unto YHVH?
What shall I testify unto you concerning YHVH?
From the beginning of creation,
all things have testified of YHVH. 
And YHVH has crowned you, O Israel, with crowns of holiness;
YHVH has set you apart, O Israel, with His Torah
that you should ascend on high,
a holy people unto YHVH. 
And so YHVH does say to you:
My people must first be brought low;
then shall I descend
and enter into your walls below. 
Let this console you and comfort you, O Israel:
YHVH shall descend
and become like you in all things; 
YHVH shall descend below all things
and shall overcome all things
and shall rise above all things. 
YHVH shall have pity for Israel, [for] she shall overflow in her afflictions; 
And though your afflictions shall be like that of the sea,
there shall be remedy and healing for you, O Israel! 
And when you shall ask: Who shall heal me?
And when you shall ask: Who shall strengthen me?
YHVH, even Elohim Shaddai, shall heal and strengthen you. 
O seed of Jacob!
It is YHVH that stands between you and death!
It is YHVH that watches over you and protects you! 
If you will but seek after this one thing,
you will seek after all things: 
In YHVH are all things One,
all is One in YHVH;
YHVH is the End,
even so, YHVH is the Beginning. 
That which you seek is the visible and the invisible,
for such is YHVH;
therefore, there is nothing beyond YHVH but that which is in vain,
for YHVH is One. 
All things exist by the very will of YHVH;
therefore, unto YHVH is given dominion over the heavens above. 
And by the providence of YHVH is the creation governed,
for by YHVH was the world created;
the creation of YHVH is One. 
YHVH is our Elohim,
YHVH has dominion over the whole of creation;
YHVH is One,
YHVH is Unity. 
A profound mystery shall be revealed to you today;
all the knowledge and all the wisdom of this world is even as this:
The children of the world know nothing,
even unto this day. 
Listen therefore to the decree of Neum,
for the cries of the Oracle are the decree of YHVH;
listen and stand ready,
all those that hear these words!

Two

Behold, I am Neum, the Oracle,
reader of the stars—
I am she who pours out the libations for YHVH; 
I am she who still dances in prophecy
when the daughters do sing,
and the young men do play their harps
and beat their drums. 
You know me, O Judah;
yea, you know that I do prophesy truly;
for has not all that I have been told to say among you been true? 
The remnant of the daughters of Miriam do mock to shame me,
for the sons of Aaron have silenced their voices,
but YHVH shall be heard! 
If the mouths of the daughters of Miriam be silenced,
then the mouths of the other daughters of Israel shall be opened: 
For I am not of the seed of Levi,
but am a daughter of Joseph and of Manasseh; 
Yet did the Presence of YHVH come to me,
calling me Neum, the oracle of Ha’Elohim. 
Behold, when your daughters were sick with child,
did I not pour out libations
for deliverance of healing and restoration? 
When your young men did prepare for war,
did I not read the stars for them
to guide them home to safety? 
When your herds did wander off a far way,
did I not give unto you the words of the Voice
that you did retrieve them? 
Wherefore, I say unto you this day:
Listen to the Oracle of YHVH,
give ear that you might hear, 
That your children
and your children’s children
might stave off death at the last day. 
I shall speak unto you freely;
yea, I shall give unto you the word of YHVH,
that you shall have these sayings among you: 
And this that you shall stand up,
and give heed, O Judah!
That all those who would understand
these proverbs and these intrigues, 
And all those who would cut through
to dig out the knowledge,
and all those who would hold fast
to these mysteries and these wonders, 
That by the strength of El Elyon
you might break the chains of death and hell,
seeing past all those who do walk in naivety. 
And even those who are devious
in their dealings with their fellows, 
Yea and the stiff necked,
the hard-headed and hard-hearted,
those intertwined with the customs of fools; 
Even these shall see at the end,
that would deny YHVH in the flesh,
even these shall see and shall know
that YHVH is Lord and King
over all. 
And the inheritance of the wise
shall be salvation from death
by the power of YHVH,
for by Him shall death be conquered,
and the graves opened. 
Yea, and there will be no more death,
nor mourning,
nor crying,
nor pain;
for the old things shall have passed away. 
Even as in death there is grief,
and in the grave there is sorrow,
YHVH shall show His compassion, 
So great is His unfailing love for His Israel
that YHVH shall bind up her wounds. 
And when the time does come,
the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of Man,
and those who hearken unto the Voice shall live. 
And even as YHVH, in His infinite mercy,
shall redeem the life of His Israel from the grave,
surely He will take Israel into Himself; 
For this One shall pay our ransom,
for He is our Elohim forever and ever: 
And so it is that YHVH will be our guide
even unto death,
that He swallow up death forever,
having redeemed us
and taken away our destruction. 
And now I would ask you:
What good is the mystery to you,
all they who search for the beginnings of knowledge? 
Why is the heart honored,
for it is that which governs the body of man? 
Does the heart hear when the Voice speaks unto the heart,
when the Oracle tells the parable? 
Why is the heart precious to the soul
when it is the birth of the soul
that reveals the true heart of mankind? 
Why is a prince set apart
to look down upon his brother as a ruler?
Is it not YHVH that gives the king his reign? 
And the prince is born without strength,
yet he dominates his brothers with a whip that cost him nothing. 
How are the tzaddikimare like unto the stars?
Even as the stars do shine with a fierceness,
they hold true in their glory. 
Shining in their glory,
they strive not to contend with one another as mankind does,
but find peace in the light of one another,
and contentment as the others shine even brighter than they. 
And there is one that shines brighter than them all,
and none are envious of the glory of that star; 
Therefore, might Judah be holy,
even as YHVH, our Elohim, is Holy; 
Might Judah be righteous
that there will be peace in Israel,
even as there is peace in the Heavens. 
Who could say they are as the stars I read in the night sky?
Not a soul in Judah,
no. 
For El Elyon hath given the seed of Jacob her strength
that her fate shall not be tied to the stars
like all the other nations of His creation. 
Yet who among you seeks the presence
of Light and Understanding
that is given of Ha’Elohim? 
The path of remembrance without foundation
is without the depth of understanding. 
Those taught by the angels of El Elyon,
those who sing praises
that they would be even as Ha’Elohim— 
Unto these are given the fruit
unto the knowing of good and evil. 
I thank you, O YHVH,
for your eyes are awake
and they do watch over my soul! 
You have rescued me from the passion of idle talkers,
from the company of those who would seek
the pleasant words of flattery
that lead souls away. 
Israel to the North, you hath let slip away,
but they are not hidden from you! 
Save therefore the soul of the poor
who they planned to destroy
by spilling the blood of your servant. 
I walked this walk for you,
YHVH, my Elohim,
but they did not know this. 
They laughed at me,
sought to shame me
with lies from their mouths! 
But you didst support the soul
of the poor and the weak,
you did save me from their harsh arms, 
You redeemed me amid their taunts;
from the wicked I do not fear destruction. 
Surely even the maggot can praise you, YHVH,
and the worm remembers your love and kindness; 
Yet they who have tasted of death but returned
have forgotten you,
and your people have stumbled,
having forgotten to sing your praises. 
Your kindness has been revealed unto them,
and your righteousness has enlightened them,
Elohim Shaddai. 
For in your hands are the souls of every living thing;
you have given the breath of life unto all flesh. 
Deal with us, O YHVH, according to your goodness,
according to your great mercy,
and according to your many righteous deeds. 
YHVH has listened to the voices of those who love His name,
and He has not deprived them of His love
nor of His kindness; 
Yet His mighty arm shall be swift in dealing with Judah,
should she not remember her place,
and return to her covenant!

Three

O those of flesh who are of yourselves nothing:
Why do you so quickly exalt yourselves,
living in the flesh
and having no eye unto the glory of YHVH? 
Do you not tremble at nor fear
Ha’Elohim who sees you from above? 
El Elyon does know,
for YHVH sees all,
and His malakim are witnesses of all things. 
The adversary does ask mankind:
Who is He who nourishes all? 
Yet the Creator has planted His breath in all
and sent His sweet spirit
to guide all of the human race. 
And by the Voice that spoke
unto our father, Abraham
and our mother, Sarah,
we do know that there is One
who is sovereign over Ha’Elohim; 
Choice in His power,
with no beginning of days nor end of years,
YHVH is almighty and invisible,
all seeing being All Himself. 
Blessed be YHVH,
who executes deeds of righteousness,
crowning His qaddishim with His love,
and His kindness, and His mercy. 
My soul does cry out to praise Your Name,
to sing praises to El Elyon for your loving deeds,
to proclaim your faithfulness unto Israel and unto Judah! 
And I say:
There is no end to my praise of you, YHVH. 
I was near death for my sins,
and they did sell me off captive;
but you did save me, O YHVH,
according to your great mercy. 
And I have loved Your Name, YHVH,
and in you have I found my strength
and my protection. 
When I remember your might, my heart is brave
and upon your mercies I do lean;
you have forgiven my sins, O YHVH,
and purified me from my iniquities. 
Instill in me a spirit of faith and knowledge,
for I am not ashamed,
though I stand in the midst of those that would see my destruction. 
Do not allow the adversary nor the unclean spirits control over me;
let not pain and evil desires conquer my bones. 
O YHVH, you are my praise!
I shall sing and praise you all day long;
my desire is ever that my brothers and my sisters of Judah
would rejoice with me. 
Yet Elohim Shaddai is beheld by none in the flesh;
for what flesh can see visibly the true Elohim
that reigns from the heavens? 
Worship YHVH who exists
from age to age,
giving to all mankind the light
through Israel, the seed of Jacob, and Isaac, and Abraham. 
Let those that seek evil’s counsel
have their reward for forsaking El’Olam, 
And even by giving your offerings unto foreign elohim,
these have made your sacrifices to the vanities of men
and made yourselves abominable before YHVH. 
In insolence you have walked,
and I, Neum, the Oracle, have seen you;
in madness and folly you walked. 
And I, the Oracle, have seen you
forsaking the straight path, you have turned aside
and are wandering through the thorns. 
Stop your vanities of the flesh,
roaming in darkness,
leave the darkness of night
and take hold of the light that is YHVH! 
Behold, our Elohim does speak unto us plainly,
His words shall not be for nothing! 
Come, all you pursuers of the darkness and vial secrets!
Come here and behold a Light! 
Even more glorious than that of the sun,
YHVH shines even more brightly;
therefore, come forth! 
Even as our mother, Eve, did seek to taste of the wisdom,
in your hearts she did plant the seed
that you might have the knowledge of this great light! 
And I, the Oracle shall show you but a sliver of this light,
to tell you of the beginning unto the end,
even from the first generation of Adam,
even down to the very last day, 
This I shall prophesy:
what has been,
what is now,
and what shall yet befall Israel and the world
through the seed of Adam and Eve. 
The Voice did call upon me
to give you truth,
to know how this earth came into being, 
And to make known unto you
that you shall not forget
the love of the Creator for this, His creation. 
YHVH is El Elyon, the true King
who did bring all things into existence,
saying: Let it be;
and it was so. 
For YHVH did establish all things,
even this earth you stand upon,
plucking it up and placing it. 
And so it is that there is Elohim then
who does send the rain
and the winds,
and the storms,
and the earthquakes; 
YHVH is the Lord of heaven,
King over the earth,
and one with all things. 
Though the Elohim may have seed,
and these be immortal,
then we be the seed of YHVH;
therefore, by YHVH, death has no sting. 
But the elohim of man are born and do die,
for having no power
they have nowhere to stand among Ha’Elohim. 
And these gods of man,
they do fall before Ha’Elohim,
they are nothing before El’ Elyon;
YHVH did not create them,
they are but the shadows of man. 
And Ha’Elohim is one,
and YHVH is the most exalted of Ha’Elohim,
for all things were made by Him;
and without him was not anything made which was made. 
Yea, in YHVH is the reward,
and the reward is life,
and the life is the light of mankind. 
Again, it is YHVH that brought into being
the countless multitudes that live in the deep, 
And all the beasts
and the creeping things,
and all living things on the earth,
and all that spread their wings to inhabit the skies. 
And it is YHVH that did breathe the breath of life into Adam,
and that did appoint Adam to care for this,
His creation. 
And all things that can be understood,
and all things that cannot be understood,
these are the creation of YHVH. 
And who of mortal flesh can know all these things?
I tell you: None knows them
save YHVH, who from the beginning has made them. 
Dwelling in the heavens,
YHVH did place before Adam a much greater reward of good, 
But for the evil and the unjust,
they do bring upon themselves war and pestilence
and their woes. 
You, Adam, why do you exalt yourselves in vain
only to be rooted out by the Oracle of YHVH? 
Be ashamed of making idols,
do not in your madness take away your children;
only evil elohim desire the bones of the fruits of your loins
in the smokes of their fires. 
Even as the wife of treachery
that should sell her children unto foreign nations
as slaves have you become,
and how else should the good husband deal with such as this?

Four

O Israel! O Judah! O Zion!
You were even as Adam and as Eve,
the first people created to know YHVH
that mankind might see the salvation of YHVH, 
Yet do you worship or fear Ha’Elohim,
to keep the Torah and the mitzvoth?
or do you bow down to dumb idols of wood and stone? 
Do you stand to offer sacrifice to the living Elohim?
or do you sit before the doors of empty temples? 
Consider the soothsayers, those teachers of sin:
Repeat aloud the parable,
declare now the mystery even as we speak;
then you will know if you have understood. 
Know that YHVH sees you
and will reward you by your hearts, 
Yet in your foolishness
the vision I have been given is sealed up from you,
and you have not understood
the eternal mysteries in their fullness; 
You have not become wise
in your understanding of the Torah
and the ways of YHVH;
and why is this? 
It is because you have not properly understood
the origin of Wisdom; 
But if you should unseal the vision that I have been given,
then you shall know,
then shall you understand! 
To hear the parable, to see the mysteries
you must first give up all your wisdom,
for you are wise unto the things of this world,
and they are but the errands of fools! 
Hear now what wisdom is:
Wisdom is to know the Creator,
to feel of His love,
and to love even as He loves; 
What greater wisdom can there be than this?
And yet, who is Judah that her neighbors should fear her? 
Judah is a wicked people
who takes pride in crafty ways;
scoundrels who belong to the liar; 
Two-tongued, adulterous, idolatrous, evil-hearted,
taking only for themselves— 
Will no one endowed with wealth and goods give any part to another? 
Will any give of their substance
for the wants of the poor,
the hungry,
the naked,
the widows,
and the orphans? 
And because of this, O Judah,
your daughters
shall have secret lovers to keep her child from hunger,
and there is no husband to gain,
for your sons are drunken fools! 
You think that this mighty kingdom rests in the power of this world,
forgetting of the immortal King
and therefore, you, Judah, will fall. 
Judgement shall come unto you by the Eternal Savior,
even the Son of the Eternal Father
who created the heavens and the earth. 
And YHVH sees where you stand, Judah;
a people that delights in the blood of the innocent, 
Other men will reign over you,
will profit from your sorrows,
will have you seeking the Messiah in your ruin
that you will not know when He does appear. 
And as a holy prince shall YHVH come into His creation,
to wield the scepter of His righteousness
over all the earth;
yet you will know Him not. 
Three share their fates when He is crucified;
one will hang with no sin,
and one will be forgiven,
and one will reject truth. 
And fire shall sweep over the isles of the seas,
and darkness shall cover the earth
for a moment, that the earth may weep for her Creator. 
O wretched Adam!
when that time shall arrive, even the judgement of El’Olam,
the King of creation, shall be turned back in His mercy,
for so great is the Mercy of YHVH. 
And YHVH will forgive His creation,
and the graves shall be opened
and shall yield up many of their dead; 
And many qaddishim shall appear
and live, never to again taste death. 
And shortly after, Judah will be scattered,
and her lands taken over
and she shall weep in her sorrows. 
This I have seen,
if Judah does not return
and move away from her whoredoms. 
And even now, Judah, you are like Sodom,
that wicked city that was destroyed for their greed: 
Sodom did have
even as much pride as they did lack charity
in those days; 
For we do know that they had bread and wine in abundance,
and they still would not sustain the poor and the needy. 
And so it was that she who supplied the poor man with bread
was cast into the fire and burned to ashes, 
And no one took notice of her or pitied her,
and her cries ascended to the heavens,
and their sins were great before YHVH. 
And so it was that the great cities were destroyed,
for they took no pity,
and they would not heed the words of Lot
when he did preach unto them. 
And even like Sodom,
YHVH shall send out the righteous from among you, O Judah,
and give unto them new lands,
even lands upon the isles of the seas. 
And now, Judah, you whose mothers and fathers were brought
by YHVH out of Egypt to this land:
When did you forget YHVH
and lay waste unto the stranger? 
Wherefore, in a flash of gleaming fire is your destruction coming, 
You shall be burned with torches
and carried out of the land
that YHVH has given to our fathers and our mothers. 
Your long days have become shortened,
like your false and useless idols
feeling no shame. 
But they who fear the true El’Olam shall inherit life,
and forever dwell in the fields of paradise,
feasting on the sweet bread
and looking on throughout the heavens.

Five

Hear me, O men of Israel:
the eternal King reigns!
And even as the sun looks down upon the lands,
so too does YHVH see you, Judah. 
You call yourself His bride,
yet you are a mistress unto harlots,
and so then shall you come to naught,
falling to ruinous misfortunes; 
But in your suffering,
you shall have fame in later generations,
and even into distant lands. 
And those that shall escape this suffering
shall be sent to prosperous lands
that mankind had not known. 
And with a purple robe,
mighty, just, and in His fierceness
shall the Son of Man come to your children’s children
after the quaking and the thunderstorms. 
Those of an evil yoke shall be destroyed,
and after shall YHVH descend in His mercy. 
But first
shall the soil of these distant lands be wet with blood and rain,
for your seed shall drink much murder. 
And the righteous will rejoice,
for they shall be spared,
and YHVH having destroyed the king of death, 
Yet so shall it be
that in the third and fourth generations
that man's offspring shall perish, 
For they shall forget
all that their fathers and their mothers had seen
and born witness to. 
And then
shall that adversary bring back the secret combinations of Cain,
and Sodom shall again rise against the house of Israel. 
Reject the adversary, O Israel!
Reject the false traditions
carried in by the winds
from foreign lands! 
Remember the words of Asyma,
standing in the temple in Jerusalem,
to Her Israel,
yea, even the divine mother who does say: 
Enter into the Presence here
in this temple of holiness,
in worship of YHVH,
in respect for thyself,
and all that herein dwell. 
For I need not thy devotion,
but thy sincerity of heart,
for it is truth that shall purify thee. 
Yea, it is not thy understanding
that hath brought thee unto this house this day,
but thy thirst for knowledge and wisdom, and understanding. 
Enter not by thy fears,
not by thy sins,
not by thy hatred,
but with a broken heart and a contrite spirit; 
That through the mercy of YHVH
these impurities shall be cut out,
and this that you shall find strength. 
You may look upon me as thy Mother,
and as thy Sister,
and as thy Wife,
and as thy Daughter, 
But look not upon me as one to look down upon
or that should look down upon thee. 
Yea, I am the very Presence of Elohim;
the devotion you have for me,
is it greater than that which you have for the Breath
that is within you? 
Behold, if you should be offended of these,
you do offend Unity,
who is YHVH. 
If you should be One
and stand in the Presence,
it is understanding that you shall take with you. 
Wherefore, I say unto you:
Enter this house this day with respect
for all those that dwell herein,
and for yourself;
do this and it shall be well for you. 
I will speak freely to you,
and I will give you the sayings of El Elyon
that you may share them among you,
though they will be mocked and scorned by you. 
Yet all those who would understand will know and share them
as parables to teach all that would listen,
and as riddles to those that would hold fast to truth. 
And all those who would infiltrate the hidden mysteries,
all those seeking the beginnings of knowledge,
even those who would hold fast to the secret pleasures; 
These shall know truth when they find it
and shall teach truth in ways understood by the Godly. 
And all those who will walk in simplicity
will know the path,
while those who are devious,
those with stiff necks, with hard hearts,
those who do lay with the harlot, 
These are the customs of fools,
and they will lose the inheritance of Israel. 
What good is the secret of YHVH?
The mystery of the wisdom of Shekinah? 
All who search for the beginnings of knowledge,
do you seek wisdom?
What is understanding to you? 
Why is the heart sought in strength
when the fool cannot hear the parable? 
What good is the puzzle to you
if even when the solution is found,
it is not understood? 
What good is wisdom without knowledge?
Knowledge without understanding? 
Should the prince be our ruler
when the king can be found?
How can we be a nation of kings
if we are without strength? 
The whip that dominates costs nothing,
for the one does rule when the many accept his rule;
and who is the greater king,
the king of men or the Lord of Hosts? 
Who among us can say that they seek light and illumination
in the Presence of our Elohim? 
And by the angels of YHVH,
all those who praise Elohim Shaddai
that they would know the good from evil,
shall know truth. 
Any plan that lacks mercy lacks justice.

O Holy Mother!
Never was there a place unknown unto thee! 
Never was there one that desired mercy
that you showed not mercy unto them! 
Who are they that have not asked for your mercy?
Shall Judah be denied thy shield and thy protection? 
Who are they that have not found solace in you?
In the Presence? 
Who are they that have not found succor in your bosom?
Or solace in your womb? 
And who is Israel
that she shall be denied your succor and your solace
that your child should be shattered
and scattered about unto the foreign winds? 
YHVH, I pray thee!
Give unto me thy hope,
for it is not vain! 
O Holy Mother,
give unto me your succor and your solace,
for your peace is even an eternal peace! 
O Elohim,
wipe away these, my tears, that my heart be content;
have mercy for all those that live upon the footstool of YHVH,
and have mercy upon Israel! 
For my heart is content
to kneel at your footstool,
to gain favor in your sight. 
My desire, YHVH,
is but to come into your Presence,
to see that beautiful Mother,
the Queen of the Heavens, 
To dance in Her orchards,
and to gather up the fruits of Her garden,
and to delight in the flowers of Her fields! 
O Mother of the lamb of sacrifice!
Bride of the Heavens!
Even as YHVH is the very Father of Israel,
so too are you her Mother. 
How I long to stand in your Presence,
to rest my wounds in the healing power of your flowing waters! 
O fountain of healing!
O wellspring of grace!
You are a home of peace unto my soul. 
You are the most precious gem of the heavens,
Mother of YHVH, and a virgin most pure! 
O Divine Mother,
how you weep for your daughter, Zion!
How you lament for her,
but not in vain! 
For she shall return unto YHVH
weeping in her sorrows,
humbled in her defeats; 
Yet YHVH shall be glorious,
yea, YHVH shall ever be undefeated. 
YHVH, I invoke you in my mourning,
for I know this: In your name have I been spared. 
You, Zion, shall scorn me,
and leave me forgotten;
but YHVH shall remember. 
The enemies of YHVH shall falter into eternal anguish,
yet YHVH shall even make a way for these!
And in this shall Israel be forever remembered. 
For it is by the seed of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob;
and by the seed of Judah, and Peretz, and Chetzron; 
And by the seed of Ram, and Ammynadab, and Nahshon;
and by the seed of Shalmon, and Boaz, and Obed, 
And by the seed of Jesse, and David, and Solomon
that salvation shall come. 
For it was even by the seed of Solomon that Israel was again divided,
but through the seed of David shall Israel be made whole again;
so speaks YHVH,
so mote it be, Amen and amen! 
And in that day shall Israel feel pains
even as a woman in labor,
for a son will come to save Israel from death. 
Israel shall labor to bear her a son,
and she shall give birth to a man-child,
and her pains shall bring joy eternal. 
Her son, O how great he shall be!
Even a counselor with power,
a man with the power to control the wind and the seas; 
But Israel carries the seed of death in her womb
and shall suffer from the pit in her horror. 
And the foundations of the walls of the temple will shake
even as a mighty boat being whipped about
upon the face of the waters. 
Clouds shall grow dark,
like those in the storms of the seas,
and those that live upon the islands shall flee in terror: 
But shall even as in the great flood,
they shall not escape the roar of the waters
or the desolation of the lands. 
The wise men of Judah,
their wisdom confounded,
lost in the abyss as the windows of heaven are opened, 
Yet by their own self-conceit
shall those windows be bolted shut unto them.

Seven

YHVH hath divided the creation into seven parts:
the rocks,
the seeds,
the seas,
the seasons,
the humans,
the holy,
and the purification; 
In these first six there are both light and darkness,
but in the seventh is the Sabbath of YHVH,
and in the seventh are all made whole. 
The darkness that would corrupt the seven creations:
the sand,
the sterile,
the violence,
the lie,
the treachery,
the lust,
and the perdition. 
But the lights of the stars
were given to mankind
for a memorial of the name YHVH, 
And this that the hidden things
of the mysteries of the light shining forth
to end the ways of darkness, 
And that which is hidden
from upon the earth
shall be made known. 
And in the last days,
there will be times of great heat upon the earth
where it was once cold,
and periods of cold upon the earth
where there was once great heat, 
And mankind no longer shall see
the breaking of day or the coming of night,
and the earth, she shall not sleep. 
And this will be the beginning of the end,
that time when Israel will be gathered back;
for the blood of Abraham shall cover the whole earth. 
And the Divine Mother,
She who was hidden but not forgotten,
She shall be remembered once again. 
But before She will return,
there shall come a man
who will remind the daughters of Zion of their place,
yet not to free them, but to enslave them. 
For he shall take the things of YHVH
and give them as gifts to other elohim,
the elohim of men. 
He shall take the very things of nature
and give them unto your sisters and your daughters,
as if they were his to give, 
And he shall see his own greatness
and shall be called Father by many. 
And this he shall do
that works of darkness be spread forth,
that when the light shall come
to free the daughters of Zion,
they should reject that light. 
But behold,
the light of YHVH shall cut through the darkness,
and the light shall be divided from the darkness,
that even the very shadows cast therein will vanish. 
And the daughter of Zion will awaken
and will teach her sister truth, 
That they shall remember
all that YHVH did give them,
that the sons of Aaron shall keep them away no more. 
And the daughters of Zion shall listen to the Voice
and shall know the ordinances of YHVH, 
And this that they might restore the daughters of Israel
to the ways of YHVH. 
Behold the night skies!
See as the sun moves through the thirteen constellations, 
Twelve for the sons of Israel
and one for her daughter,
yet the skies, they do rest upon twelve pillars. 
And so it is
that the year is divided into twelve parts,
moving from moon to moon, 
Yet the daughter is given her due
when the sons, upon their path, stray in their seasons. 
And by this does Israel know
when to plant seeds,
and when to harvest, 
For it is not for mankind to know the times
nor the seasons,
but YHVH has set them in their places
by His own strength. 
As Miriam did teach us:
Everything depends upon fate
even the Torah,
for such is the will of YHVH. 
And so it was that the daughters of Miriam
would lead all of Israel to celebrate YHVH
when He did bring the moon into its fullness
in the night skies. 
And so too shall it be that in the last days,
the daughters of Israel shall lead us once again
in worship and in ritual,
and in learning. 
Just as there is a path from east to west
for the sun to travel across the earth each day, 
She does travel from the north to the south
until the shortest day,
giving up her warmth,
and from the south unto the north
until the longest day; 
And this that she should bring us her warmth and light. 
So too is there a path
for every star in the night sky, and for the constellations,
that they do tell us
when to prepare for war, and when to make our bread. 
Yea, and the stars do tell us their stories,
with Kesil and Kimah, and Ayish in Mezarim
sharing with us their tales of love, woe, and glory,
as Kimah moves about around the earth. 
And as we can see,
Tzedeq, Ma'adym, Chochevet, and Kochav
do move in their own ways,
and Lebanah and Chamah to light our way. 
The great light of YHVH coming from Chamah,
the warmth of His life-giving light;
Lord of Hosts
and King of the heavens and the earth! 
The mercy of YHVH does pour down upon us,
gently and generously; 
In its time,
and its season,
the heavens do bestow
the love of YHVH
in their way. 
Give glory to YHVH,
for the face of our Elohim is light and love.

And so it is that when mankind should build
that they do take one stone
and place it upon another stone; 
And upon these stones,
they do set another stone;
and this they do,
one upon another,
until their wall is complete. 
Yet when mankind pulls but one stone,
the wall does fall down,
and the rocks fall heavy upon the earth. 
And so it is that when mankind uses two stones
to hold up another,
it is the keystone; 
And these they do place over the waters
and to connect the lands,
many feet and hooves may travel over it,
that mankind might be joined as one. 
So too are the stars in the sky,
as they move and weave their tales,
speaking unto us; 
When mankind does read the stars to build up walls,
behold they will see but wars and ruin; 
But when mankind refuses to serve the stars,
but to make the stars the servants of mankind,
then we see that the stars do warn us! 
O Israel,
O Judah!
O Adam!
When will we heed the warnings of the stars? 
For these do not claim us,
but we them;
for were they not given us of YHVH? 
And behold, Adam was not created for the stars,
but the stars for mankind,
and Miriam was taught to read them
that we might know! 
For the secrets are written,
but the sisters are now lost,
being forbidden to look, 
And so it is that they no longer know the secret of the way,
nor do they understand the things of old; 
And because of this,
the daughters of Israel do not know
what should come upon them, 
So they could not rescue themselves
for they are left without the secret of the stars. 
But I say unto thee, O sister of Israel, daughters of Zion!
This shall be a sign that surely shall come to pass: 
When the sources of evil men are shut up,
and wickedness of the oppression of Aaron banished, 
That you will be in the presence of righteousness,
your priesthood restored
in the last days: 
The daughters of Zion shall come forth
from the darkness into the presence of light,
and the power of men cannot stop them, 
For as the smoke vanishes and is no more,
so too shall the wickedness of the men of Israel vanish forever, 
And the righteousness of YHVH will be manifest
like the sun. 
The mouths of the daughters of Zion shall be opened,
the sisters of Israel shall gather,
and the world will be made firm; 
And all the followers of sin
and the secrets of Lilith and Cain
and of the sins of mankind
shall be ran out of Israel. 
And then will the sisters lead in Israel once again,
and the true knowledge of El’Olam shall fill the earth,
and there will not be any more of the folly of mankind in Zion. 
And I say unto you this day:
That all that I have spoken will surely happen,
and it is a true oracle of YHVH; 
And those that will read these words in the last days
shall know that this thing cannot be averted, 
For it is the very will of YHVH
that Israel’s daughters and her sisters
shall regain their strength
and their authority given them of YHVH. 
It is true that not all the people will reject evil,
yet the will of YHVH shall move forward, 
And the sisters will feel the call of YHVH
from the very breath of Elohim within them. 
And truth shall roll forth to conquer all the nations,
in every tongue and language that can grasp the ways of Israel;
for the true ways of Israel are the ways of YHVH. 
And in that day,
what nation will rise to oppress Zion?
Can Zion oppressed be overtaken
by another that is not stronger than they? 
And by this shall you know Zion in the last days:
She shall be a nation
that will not oppress her neighbor, 
And they shall be a people
that does not rob the wealth of the poor,
nor their labors,
but shall seek to have all things common among them. 
But before Zion can be built,
Israel must find Zion in their hearts,
that they be purified
and become a people of peace. 
And in that day
shall the gifts of the daughters of Zion be restored
with their priesthood,
and the keys of the law of Sarah
shall be given and understood; 
For the keys of the law of Sarah are so named
that we, the daughters of YHVH,
shall not lose our birthright,
nor be taken by the world. 
And the daughters of Zion
shall be given revelation upon revelation
until all is restored,
even as it was at the first.

Nine

O Daughters of Israel! O Daughters of Zion!
May the seed of Miriam reclaim their birthright! 
May the compassion of Ha’Elohim come unto us,
that the Lord of hosts shall bear His mighty right hand,
that the very king of Heaven
place His blessing upon you forever! 
Mighty One, shield us
from the harm of hate,
and from the harm of intention,
and shield us from the evil eye! 
Might that YHVH will lift us up,
even from death,
for YHVH is the Elohim of life! 
Shield us from all those that would rise against us,
to slander us with their words;
guard us against backbiting and bitterness, and woe. 
For what should we call one
whose every deed pretends to be in righteousness
yet whose judgement is impure? 
And what shall we say of one
who would chase after the things of the earth,
and not after what is wise
or that which is righteous? 
For it is not in Adam that wisdom is hidden;
wisdom is hidden,
except it be the wisdom of a cunning evil,
the schemes of giving for one’s own gain. 
And this is a thing that must never be done,
but instead we must accept the mitzvoth of the Creator; 
And what will Adam do that she should live? 
For she who has violated the mitzvoth of the Creator
shall have their names taken from the mouth of YHVH,
and He shall not know them; 
Therefore listen,
all of you who will hold true
to the secrets of eternity,
for they are wonderful! 
And hear the desires behind every deed,
for YHVH does know the truth of your purpose. 
Yea, and YHVH knows every secret
that lies in the heart of Adam
and reads every thought. 
YHVH does know every [secret/heart/one],
for YHVH is Lord over all. 
YHVH is the Creator,
for from long ago YHVH did establish
the heavens and the earth,
and forever is YHVH,
from everlasting to everlasting. 
And the purpose of creation YHVH has opened up
to all they that will listen
and seek after truth, 
And YHVH tests His sons and His daughters
that they may see
that these are worthy
of their inheritance. 
And YHVH does not forget,
but does forgive
those that give unto Him every secret,
and the truth of every deed; 
And what use has YHVH for these things?
For YHVH did create all people
and knows their deeds. 
Wherefore, I say unto all those that hear the voice of the oracle:
That this life is the time to learn of YHVH; 
Therefore, walk today in teshuvah
and harden not your hearts,
that the great plan of redemption will be understood,
and it has been brought about unto you. 
And I say into all of you now:
That this life is the time to prepare to meet YHVH;
and today is the day for mankind to perform their labors; 
For the day of salvation draws nigh,
and our enemies are even now at our borders. 
Look, even now, and see
that angels are declaring it unto many
at this time
in our land,
and the prophets and the prophetesses are about,
take heed to our warnings! 
And because we have forgotten
the old ways,
the ways of YHVH and His Torah,
because we will not receive
the word of YHVH at this time,
we shall be taken. 
O you wicked, and perverse, and stiffnecked people!
Why will you not heed the voice of YHVH?
Why do you see this as nought? 
And even now, at this late hour,
YHVH has shown unto me a great and marvelous thing
concerning that which must shortly come. 
And when the day does shortly come,
these things shall roll forth among you,
and much truth will be lost and hidden up,
that Israel might return again to YHVH
in the last days; 
Therefore, watch
and be ready,
guard up your homes. 
Keep hidden and teach in secret
the truths of YHVH
that your children might know
and tell their children, 
Until the day shall come
that the mysteries of YHVH
shall be brought again to the light.

Ten

Look now at the soothsayers,
those teachers of sin
that have corrupted our ways! 
I will now speak to you in a parable;
hear my words and teach them to your children,
tell them to teach these words to their children; 
And this that when the time comes,
then you will know
if any have truly understood. 
And it came to pass that a rich man desired to teach his son
all the things of the world, 
And so it was that the son was sent out
into a foreign land
where he studied and learned all that he could
until he was a grown man. 
And it came to pass that the man returned
to show his father all that he had learned,
that his father would be proud! 
But when he reached his village,
he did not find his father in the village,
and so it was that he asked of his neighbors for his father’s whereabouts;
but they refused him. 
Returning to his house,
his father’s servants did not know him,
and thus they did cast him out into the streets. 
And it came to pass that for all of his learning,
the man had no money,
and could not see his father in that land: 
And so it was that he took to become a beggar,
for no one knew him
and none would hear him. 
But the man would not beg for money,
he told all that would hear him of his father, 
For so great was the love of the father
that he had sent out his son into the world. 
And it came to pass that after many months came the Passover,
and the man returned again
unto the house of his father, 
And there a seat was saved for him,
for his father was there,
and he did know him: 
And upon seeing his son again,
the father said unto his son:
I have set apart this seat for you; 
Come now and sit upon my right hand,
for I see how you have gone out among these people, 
And though they knew you not,
they will know you now,
for in you am I well pleased. 
Study now my words,
the words of Neum,
for they are the words of YHVH,
and by the breath of Ha’Elohim
you will understand it; 
But in your foolishness
this parable is as a vision that is sealed up from you, 
For to understand the mysteries of YHVH
you must become wise in the understanding of YHVH, 
For you have not properly understood the Creator
nor His Wisdom; 
But if you should unseal the vision,
then you will know of the things to come
and that they are all of YHVH
to your salvation. 
Hear now what wisdom is:
And it came to pass that a young man
on his way to gather up water from a certain well
that had been with his family for many generations; 
And on his way,
he did see many beautiful flowers,
and trees filled with fruits. 
As he walked, he was tempted
by the beauty of the flowers
and by how delicious the fruit appeared,
and eventually he did wander from the path. 
And it came to pass that as he wandered
farther away from the path,
the boy became lost,
for the forest grew dark
and he could not see. 
And because he could not see,
he could no longer enjoy the beauty of the flowers,
nor eat of the fruit,
for he could not see it to find them. 
And it came to pass that he stumbled upon an old shack,
and he dared not to enter,
for the boy thought that inside he might find his ruin
from some unseen force. 
But the rain began to fall from the skies,
and he hurried into the shack for shelter
only to find that there was no roof upon the head of it. 
And as the rains fell upon him
in the darkness of the shack,
he began to lose all hope,
and to weep,
and to grow angry for his foolishness. 
But outside of the woods,
his father had come seeking him,
knowing that he had been gone too long
and not returned with the water. 
And in his pride,
he hid from the voice of his father,
and would not follow after him,
though he knew that his father would guide him
back to the path. 
And it came to pass that the pleas of the father grew,
and the pride of the boy subsided, 
And he did open the door to the shack
and ran forth after the voice of his father. 
O Israel!
May you release your pride
and run back to that Elohim that did create you! 
For YHVH is not changeable,
but YHVH is unchangeable
from eternity to eternity: 
Wherefore, the love of YHVH is unchanging
and shall not grow cold for His Israel; 
Therefore, know, all of you
that when you seek the darkness no more
that you will hear the voice of YHVH,
and His mercy will be waiting for your teshuvah. 
And all the lights of the stars
shine in testimony
as for a memorial of Ha’Shem; 
Therefore, listen, I pray you, to these words,
for hidden within them are the things of YHVH
and the mysteries of the light that shines
that you might avoid the ways of darkness. 
And when the times of heat and of thirst do come,
and when the times of cold and of hunger do come, 
Then the breaking forth of the day
and the coming of the night shall be counted,
and the origins of all things shall be known unto you.

Eleven

And now I, Neum, the Oracle, shall speak
unto my children,
even the children of Joseph
that shall read my words in the last days. 
Hear me now, O Israel!
Hear the words written so long ago;
for I see you, though I do not understand what I see,
YHVH makes you known unto me,
and I see your sin. 
And what is this sin?
You have forgotten to read the stars,
and to observe the holy days of YHVH,
and Her Sabbaths, 
Your love for one another has waxed cold;
the rich eat while the poor go hungry and naked –
yet is this not the sin of every generation of mankind? 
Yea, look now and ponder this:
How can one understand without knowledge?
How can one listen without hearing? 
How can one be wise without learning?
How can one hear while speaking? 
How can one receive mercy without giving mercy?
How can one give a gift without a willingness to receive a gift? 
How can one seek justice without they themselves accepting justice?
How can one have strength without bending to the winds? 
YHVH spoke
and the Voice was heard by His children,
and the Voice gave mankind much wisdom
and understanding: 
YHVH uncovered our ears that we may hear,
our eyes that we may see,
our mouths that we may eat and gain strength,
our feet that we might run to those in need,
and our hands that we might serve El’Olam. 
YHVH created understanding
for all who seek knowledge and truth,
that they might know all wisdom
that has been given from eternity to eternity: 
Truth may not be changed,
and the mercy of YHVH is neither hidden
nor locked up behind the waters
that we should receive Him not; 
For YHVH is El Elyon,
and His Father and His Mother do sit upon their thrones
in the heaven above the heavens, 
And His Asherah does sit with Him
and presides in the council of Ha’Elohim. 
And YHVH is known well for His patience,
see how many times He has forgiven Israel
and taken Judah under His mighty arm: 
And YHVH is known well for the might of His great anger,
and He has turned His wrath against the enemies of Israel; 
And even as YHVH is known well
for His numerous acts of mercy towards Israel,
He too will be made known as terrible in His wrath
against His people, 
For we have not honored our covenant,
and over the land YHVH did give us,
we have not made Him our ruler: 
And though Ha’Elohim is honored
among Israel, His holy people —
among Israel, His chosen people —
we have become a people of industry
and not a holy people. 
Israel has become great in the blessings of YHVH,
and in seeing our splendor
yet forgotten the Voice of the covenant. 
Yet we too shall know the mercy of YHVH,
for His righteous anger against us shall pass
and our people shall be humbled
but not utterly destroyed. 
And when this era of wickedness is at an end,
and evil is abolished in the Messiah,
the Great Ha’Kohen shall make the final sacrifice. 
And we know the genealogies:
Abraham begot Isaac,
and Isaac begot Jacob,
and Jacob begot Levi, 
And Levi begot Qohath,
and Qohath begot Amram,
and Amram begot Aaron, 
And Aaron begot Eleazar,
and Eleazar begot Phinehas,
and Phinehas begot Abishua, 
And Abishua begot Buqi,
and Buqi begot Azzi,
and Azzi begot Zerahiah, 
And Zerahiah begot Meraioth,
and Meraioth begot Azaryhu,
and Azaryhu begot Amariah, 
And Amariah begot Achytub,
and Achytub begot Tzadok; 
And it was Tzadok Ha’Kohen
in the days of our kings, David and Solomon,
who were mighty before YHVH,
yet in their pride even they did sin against YHVH; 
And Tzadok begot two sons,
Ahimaaz who was High Priest over Israel,
and Zenoch; 
And Zenoch was made a priest in the lands of Joseph,
and there he served us in a temple of our lands; 
And Zenoch begot Zenock,
the seer and prophet. 
Even as we, in this day,
do write the words of Zenock, the son of Zenoch,
we do not understand them. 
And even as we do seek out Zenoch the priest
to make sacrifices unto YHVH,
I see that you, in the last days,
do seek out the priests
that you might accept the sacraments of YHVH, 
But even as the people do not harken unto Zenock
and his brethren, the prophets,
nor will they give heed unto my words,
they will be gathered and kept
as a testimony against them; 
So you do gather up the words,
but will you listen?
Will you heed them? 
When the Great Ha’Kohen offers up His mercy,
will you accept it, O Israel,
with the first and last great sacrifice –
that of the broken heart and contrite spirit? 
I ask those of you that are wise to ponder:
If Adam has a good tree,
one that does grow upward,
even into the heavens,
will he not love it? 
And if Adam does love it,
will he not care for the soil about it? 
And when Adam sees that the tree grows
heavy with the best fruit each year,
watching it grow in the rains of autumn and in the spring,
but sees it thirst in the heat of the summer,
will he not give it water? 
And will Adam not see to protect it,
and to keep it safe? 
And will he not see fit to multiply the seeds of the tree
and to nurture that orchard, to grow it
and protect the branches of it? 
For even as the Voice has come
unto the prophets and prophetesses of your generation,
so to have they come through the voice of all generations; 
Therefore, when the days shall come
that all that has been shall be gathered into one,
stand watch that you will be ready.

Twelve

And now I, Neum, the Oracle, shall speak
unto my people the words which I have been given
of the Voice of El’Olam. 
So says YHVH unto you:
I have blessed you,
and I have set you apart, my Israel;
yet you have squandered my gifts
and torn my people in two; 
You have made my holy days unclean,
and burn up the meat of your sacrifices,
and the smoke is not pleasing unto me,
for ash and dust cannot feed my people! 
To make an atonement,
your sacrifice must be pure,
and for the sacrifice to be pure
my people must be pure; 
And for my people to be pure before me
you must be clean before me,
and to be clean before me
you must wash yourselves in my mercy. 
And what is my mercy?
It is the mercy of Israel;
for in Zion there are no rich and no poor, 
There are none that shall go naked
or be turned away hungry,
or fearful of the wrath of another. 
But my ways are not your ways;
therefore, how are you my Israel?
Who are you that you would be my people? 
Where in you can be found
the mercy my servant Abraham showed
in feeding all that came unto him? 
You come before me with gifts,
yet it is I that created all things,
what need have I for your sacrifices? 
The sacrifice of your heart
is to give of your blood to help one another,
this is the Covenant of your mothers and fathers
that they did make with me. 
And in the days of your purity,
you will give without ceasing, 
And the food of Israel will be pure,
even as manna from the heavens,
and the widow will give thanks,
and her children shall not go hungry. 
And in that day that you shall clean yourselves before me,
I shall offer unto you a new and everlasting covenant,
and Israel will again be my people. 
The purity of the righteous shall be known throughout all the earth,
as there shall be no want in Zion,
and no judgement given to those in need. 
And to the poor shall be given the best gifts,
and the best food;
and there shall be no rich among you,
that there shall not be any poor. 
Do this and I shall establish a statute of my atonement among you,
and even as you go into the waters dirty,
you shall come up out of the waters clean. 
And as you come forth from the waters, you shall say:
Blessed are you, YHVH,
for through the Great Ha’Kohen does our salvation come! 
By your purity, YHVH,
and by your glory is my salvation come! 
And even as I have given you, my children,
so to will you give unto all that are in need. 
But now my wrath is set,
for I have sent my prophets and prophetesses
to give you my words;
but you, Judah and Israel,
would not hear them. 
For I have not changed my words,
but you have sought to change them; 
I have not transgressed against you, my chosen people,
but you have transgressed against me;
therefore, you shall not know peace,
even so, Amen.

And now I, Neum, the Oracle, shall speak again
unto those that shall read these, my words,
at the last days: 
Look and see,
for it shall come to pass that in the last days
the earth shall tremble, 
The very heavens shall be moved
in the wrath of YHVH,
and the creation shall moan; 
For the world shall fall ill to the iniquity of mankind;
yea, the greed of men shall be as a poison
that will drain the earth of its life,
and it shall become sick: 
To and fro shall the earth shake,
and the nations shall tremble;
but in their greed mankind shall avail it as not; 
Smoke shall fill the earth,
and the blood of the creation shall be sold,
and that great leviathan shall rise up out of the deep
and choke the life. 
Yea, the sea shall be emptied,
and the rivers moved;
the forests shall be burned up,
and the mountains torn down;
the winds shall destroy,
and the rain shall be as a poison. 
And there shall come a famine in all the lands,
for the greed of mankind will steal away the food for the poor,
and the widows shall go hungry, 
And not merely for a want of food,
but for a lack of love in the hearts of men;
yea, their hearts shall wax cold. 
And the leaders of men
in their priestcraft shall take for themselves many wives,
even the wives of they that serve under them, 
And they shall call themselves prophets,
but they shall defile themselves with these women,
and shall break the hearts of the daughters of Zion. 
But the daughters of YHVH shall arise,
and these shall be given the stones,
even as YHVH did command Israel,
teaching again their daughters
to take upon them their Thummim and their Urim; 
And the Voice shall come forth with them,
and they shall speak even with tongues of fire. 
And behold, it shall be known
by that stone that the priestess shall hold in her left-hand,
yea even that stone which is on the left side of her; 
And it shall be uncovered before the whole congregation
until the priestess is finished in her utterance; 
Yea, and after the Breath has gone out of her,
you shall keep her words and write them, 
And the people of the congregation shall bow down unto the earth
and shall pray as one; 
And then you, the congregation shall ask,
in the name of the Eternal Father,
if her words be true; 
And if you will ask with a pierced heart,
in faith,
being filled with that same Breath,
then the Voice shall tell it unto you. 
And once you know it to be true
that a prophetess has spoken unto you,
then you shall hear her words,
and harken not unto any who would counsel rebellion
against YHVH, our Elohim. 
And if it needs be that she makes some miracle
in the name of YHVH,
then she shall take the stone that she shall have in her right-hand,
even that stone which is on the right side of her; 
And when the priestess comes forth
to make manifest the will of YHVH,
it shall even be as flames of fire
coming forth from that stone of her right-hand;
and this because it is the Urim. 
And after this, when she goes up to draw near unto the people,
YHVH, our Elohim, the El’Olam of Israel, shall dwell there
among the congregation,
and they shall be the Shekinah,
for they do dwell in the Presence of YHVH. 
Remember what YHVH has said
unto the daughters of Zion:
And they made for them the mițpaḥath
of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. 
And they did beat gold into thin plates and cut it into wires,
to work it in the blue,
and in the purple,
and in the scarlet,
and in the fine linen
with cunning work. 
And they made shoulder pieces for the mițpaḥath,
which were joined to two of its corners for fastening it. 
And the curious girdle of her mițpaḥath
that was upon it was of the same,
according to the work thereof;
of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen
even as YHVH did command Moses and Zipporah; 
And they did put them
upon the shoulders of the mițpaḥath for them,
an urim and thummim, 
That they should be stones for a memorial
to the congregation of Israel
of the faith of the daughters of Israel, 
That they did not need a sign
when YHVH was ready to lead Israel from Egypt. 
Wherefore, daughters of Zion in the last days:
Do not be lead away in priestcraft, 
But let the urim and thummim rest upon thy shoulders
and take again your place in Israel. 
Let not men lead you astray into wicked priestcrafts,
taking you from your husbands,
leaving you broken hearted. 
See that the widows and the fatherless are cared for,
that the treasures of the creation of YHVH be dispersed
that none go hungry nor are afraid;
amen and amen.

And now Judah, I, Neum, the Oracle, have spoken
unto you again and again,
but I know that you will not heed my words: 
It is even as Zenock has already spoken unto you:
YHVH is angry,
for Israel will not accept the mercy of the Son; 
And you have threatened this man,
the son of a priest of YHVH and a prophet of YHVH
with death,
and for what? 
Would you slay him
when he does beg for the life of Israel?
And for the very life of Judah? 
Know you not that he does not speak out against you,
but in favor of YHVH
and by the will of YHVH,
even as you do hear me speak it? 
Do you not understand
that this man, Zenock, has been ordained
by the hands of the angel Raphael?
This he has testified,
and his deeds do bear witness! 
Wherefore, it is said by those that do follow him
that he is Morah Ha’Tzedek,
for unto him has been given the High Priesthood: 
And I say unto you further:
That I am a disciple of that Zenock, the very same;
and have been ordained by his hand Morah Ha’Migdalah; 
Therefore, if you would slay him,
would you do well to slay me also?
But this I know that you will not do,
for the Voice has spoken it unto me. 
Wherefore, here me this day, O Israel;
yea, hear the words of El’Olam,
even as you did hear them in the of days of old
from the prophetesses: 
Yea, from Zipporah and Miriam,
and from Rahab,
and from Deborah, 
And from Abigail,
and from Noadyah,
and from Beulah,
and even from Chuldah
who did testify of Sefer Ha’Torah; 
Yea, from all of them and more,
do you not remember?
How quickly you forget your mothers,
O Israel! 
And it was by their sins
that the children of Adam and Eve did forget the letters
that were taught unto their parents by Raziel: 
For on the day that the earth was created,
the letters were written upon the night sky, 
And YHVH did give unto the daughters of Israel their mitzvot
through our mothers,
even Miriam and Zipporah— 
Even to learn the letters;
yea, to learn to read the night skies. 
I say unto you now, O Israel:
Teach your sons and daughters to read
and no army will ever truly conquer Israel! 
The letters have been with Israel from the beginning,
and though their shapes may change,
to know them is to know YHVH, our Elohim; 
Therefore, I do say unto you this day:
To know the letters
is to know the mysteries of YHVH; 
Yea, teach the letters unto your children
and they will know the secret doctrine. 
The Torah is revealed
to every generation,
to those who love her;
yea, her voice is as a still whisper,
her message only given unto they that show her affection. 
She does hide her face in a veil,
for her beauty is like no other;
for she is wild,
and none may possess her; 
Yet she does love Israel,
even as YHVH does love Israel,
and she will not forsake us,
nor will she abandon Judah; 
Yea, she will teach us all she knows
if we will but ask her;
her light will illuminate the path O Israel,
if you will open your eyes to see her. 
And how can you see that which you do not love?
To love her, is to know her,
and to know her, O Israel,
you must know the letters. 
I say into you again:
If you will not learn the letters of the Torah,
she will stay hidden from you,
in spite of her love for you; 
Therefore, O Israel, seek to learn the letters
and breathe into the Torah deeply,
loving her with your heart,
and she will take you by your hand
and lead you back home to YHVH.

Fifteen

And what shall the Torah teach you, O Israel?
What secrets should she desire you to learn from her? 
From the very beginning, Moses taught
that YHVH did divide that light from the darkness, 
And when mankind is given to know good from evil,
or to separate the light from darkness,
so it is that they can tell the Presence from the adversary, 
And so it is that Israel too must give herself unto YHVH,
that He should divide the light from the darkness,
and it shall be given us to know. 
And in that light that does break through the darkness,
you shall behold the pathways white and delightsome, 
Think not that they are as water,
for they are not paths in mercy
but of life itself; 
That of the flesh is not that of the spirit,
for in the flesh lies death
and in the spirit life;
and so it is that there are two sets of tablets: 
Upon the sapphire tablets is inscribed the Torah,
and upon the emerald tablets is the secrets of the temple of YHVH. 
And when Moses was given the Torah,
Israel was not ready,
and so it was that the tablets were broken
and destroyed by the hand of Moses. 
And so it was that Moses was commanded
to make a second set of tablets,
also of sapphire,
upon which is written the Torah: 
And the Torah of sapphire is the right hand of El’Olam,
and the covenant;
and the Torah or emerald is the left hand of El’Olam,
even life; 
And betwixt these is the Torah of marble
that unites the right and the left,
and written upon it is the heart, 
And there are thirty-two paths
cut from that same marble
that does connect them,
and this is the very tree of life. 
And this tree can only be found
when mankind should eat
from that tree of the knowledge of good and evil, 
For only then can the light be divided from the darkness,
and the earth formed from out of that void. 
And I, Neum, the Oracle, have seen the tree
as I have walked about the garden in vision; 
And there is the Eden of the earth,
and the Eden of the heavens,
and these are one creation. 
And that creation is thus:
Life nephesh which is the birth of the soul,
life ruach which is the breath and awareness of Ha’Elohim,
life neshamah which is the understanding of YHVH,
life chayah which is the oneness of YHVH,
and life yechidah which is life the eternal creation of YHVH. 
And these may be seen in the En-Sof Adam Kadmon:
intelligence,
spirit,
flesh,
soul,
and yachid –
the eternal life given olam ha’ba; 
Therefore, know O Israel,
that there is no beginning nor end to life
for there is not beginning or ending
to YHVH or His creation. 
Why then is Israel given the Torah of sapphire, Judah?
We keep the sapphire temple,
when shall we be given the Torah of emerald?
And what of the Torah of marble? 
O Judah! O Israel!
Do you not know that these are given?
The mysteries of YHVH are before our eyes,
if we will but see them! 
YHVH did know that the first tablets should be destroyed,
and would it have been better for them not to be given? 
I say unto you: No,
for YHVH knows all things,
therefore YHVH creates and YHVH destroys; 
YHVH Elohim is the Creator,
and YHVH, our Elohim, is destroyer;
yet all that YHVH destroys YHVH heals; 
Therefore, there is a wisdom in YHVH
that the first Torah was given,
for in the letters written upon the tablets are the covenant
between Israel and our Elohim. 
And had the Torah not been written
by the hand of YHVH
there should be no day and no night,
no earth and no sky; 
For the heavens and the earth,
they do belong to YHVH,
the Creator, 
And the Torah of sapphire cannot be destroyed,
for it is written upon the heavens,
as they who read do know; 
And the Torah of Moses was written
by the finger of YHVH
that the stories should be known
when the stars would no longer be read, 
For the Torah shall forever be told from mouth to ear,
but these shall change as Israel does forget her Elohim. 
And this Torah was first given unto the whole earth,
but mankind would not circumcise their hearts,
and thus was Israel set apart; 
Therefore, through Israel shall the creation be finished,
and Eden restored,
but not yet; 
For in the last days,
the Torah of sapphire shall be written upon the hearth of the earth,
and sealed within the hearts of tzaddikimare,
yet they shall know it not. 
And the warmth of that fire shall gather them,
that they shall find safety and peace in Zion: 
And though Babylon shall seek to make war with them,
they shall not find them; 
And when Zion shall be found,
their peace shall be so great
that all nations shall fear them. 
And this shall they say:
War not against Zion,
for should our people see their way,
they shall leave us and serve us no more! 
And El’Olam shall stand on high,
and YHVH shall be in their high places,
and the Presence of Elohim shall go before them,
for they shall be one.

Sixteen

And now, Judah, prepare for your slumber!
In your wickedness you have forgotten YHVH,
but YHVH has not forgotten Israel. 
When a man or woman sleeps,
their soul does for a time leave them,
as their spirit rests and their body slumbers; 
And ascending on high,
YHVH gives an account
of the deeds and acts of men; 
Therefore, in the last days
shall Israel awaken from their slumber,
and YHVH shall pour out Ruach Ha’Kodesh
upon Israel and upon all people: 
And when your sons and your daughters shall awaken,
they shall see,
for they shall prophesy of truth, 
And your men shall dream dreams,
and your women shall see visions,
and your elders shall know truth and testify,
and YHVH shall cease to hide His face. 
And the herald shall cry out:
Assemble and gather together all these sayings,
for the Voice has spoken again to mankind! 
For there had been a silence in the heavens
as the earth was prepared for that last hour to unfold. 
But then the moon shall shed her light again upon the earth,
that there should no longer be darkness in the night, 
And winged messengers shall make noise
and the earth shall hear them, 
And when the priesthood of YHVH
shall be restored unto the earth
it shall not ever again leave her. 
And in the last days there shall be those that say:
What the Lord has given,
He did take away again,
but come unto me,
and I will restore Zion to her glory and fullness! 
But behold, I have seen,
and I am the oracle of YHVH,
therefore I do know; 
This priesthood should never leave the earth,
but shall fill it,
spreading like a fire
to consume the righteous in the power of YHVH! 
And they that do rise at midnight
to meditate upon the mysteries of YHVH
and the secrets of El’Olam,
unto them shall a portion be given. 
All they that do dwell in the garden
and do walk about the orchard
shall be given a lamp,
and all they that would put oil therein
shall be a light upon the path. 
And these shall taste the fruit of that tree,
and it shall be sweet! 
And the bitterness of the rotten seeds shall be rooted out,
that the good fruit should not be contaminated,
and that tree be purified. 
And the name of that fruit shall be Ephraim,
and even the seed of Joseph,
who is the seed of Israel: 
For Israel shall repent,
and Ephraim remember,
for he is a delightful child,
and a precious son unto El’Olam; 
Therefore, I have seen
that through the seed of Ephraim
Israel shall be restored. 
And he shall bring forth the garment of his father,
even the cloak of many colors, 
And it shall be given again unto Israel
that the Torah of emerald should be made known; 
And when the Torah of sapphire,
which is the covenant,
is read again, 
And the Torah of emerald,
which is life eternal,
is acted upon, 
Then shall the Torah of marble
be opened up onto you,
O Israel. 
And the thirty-two paths of the righteous
shall be walked in the garden
and the fruit of the tree eaten once more. 
And then shall Adam and Eve be one
that Ruach Ha’Kodesh shall dwell in Israel
for this is the temple of YHVH, our Elohim; 
For though Babylon shall burn the holy house
and plunder its riches,
they cannot steal the treasures
hidden within. 
When Adam and Eve are united in El Elyon
the neshamah rises
and truth and light are freely given and received in YHVH,
and Israel is free.

Seventeen

The name of YHVH, the Creator
is written and engraved
above, below, and on all sides
of this, the creation,
for it is His; 
And the shekhinah of YHVH is in the Tabernacles,
and in the temples,
and in the tents of the tallitot:
Seek Him there. 
And at the first, in Israel, there was only the Tabernacle,
but with kings came the desire
to tie down the dwelling place of YHVH: 
And who could contain El Elyon?
Not you, O man! 
Yet YHVH did allow the temples to be built;
yet these were not built for YHVH,
but for Israel! 
And what thanks did you give?
Letting strange elohim into these holy places; 
And so it shall be that when Israel shall fall,
and she shall fall,
even as YHVH declared,
for did He not say: 
Because they be a stiff-necked people, it shall be
that when they shall keep my mitzvoth,
they shall be blessed upon the face of this land, 
And there shall be none to molest them
nor to take away from them the lands of their inheritance; 
And they shall be a blessed people
upon the promised land forever: 
And nothing, save it shall be iniquity among them,
shall harm or disturb their prosperity
upon the face of this land forever: 
But if iniquity shall abound,
cursed shall be the land for their sakes;
but unto the righteous, it shall be blessed forever. 
And we see that Israel to the north has fallen,
and what then shall be the fate of Judah
if we do not keep the Torah? 
What shall be our fate
when we pollute the temples of YHVH? 
What shall be our fate
when we do go burning incense to other strange elohim? 
Would we not share their fate?
For we too are Israel,
the seed of Jacob. 
And this I know, for I have seen
the temple in Jerusalem, that holy dwelling,
burnt, and ransacked, and the things of YHVH brought out
to mock Israel. 
And YHVH has shown me, and I have seen
our enemies go before us,
mocking. 
And then shall a man of YHVH come forth, saying:
All who honored her debase her
because they have seen her nakedness. 
And why should YHVH protect
the resting place of the Torah
that is not kept in your heart,
O Israel? 
Wherefore,
YHVH shall again remove the ark of the testimony from Israel;
yea He will take it away
and then it must be written upon our hearts,
O Judah. 
This I have foreseen,
and this warning you shall ignore;
and yet this is for a wise purpose in YHVH,
for El’Olam does know. 
And you shall see, O Judah,
that the house of YHVH is built in Her wisdom,
for YHVH does know
that Shekinah did build the house of YHVH
in seven pillars; 
And YHVH does hold up Her seven pillars,
and His waters, they nourish them,
and the righteous do eat of the fruit therein. 
And in the darkness, a light does shine forth
from His secret place, 
And all they that go about in search of Truth
are given the secret doctrines,
and they sing in hymns of worship. 
And this is even as Abram and Sarai
who left Egypt
and ascended into the mysteries of YHVH, 
And were reborn Abraham and Sarah
and learned Her secret wisdom
and were true and faithful in their worship. 
O Israel, O Judah!
O that you would also be true and faithful to YHVH
who did keep the covenant of our fathers and our mothers! 
But were we faithful?
No. 
And because we have asked for this divorcement,
YHVH will watch over us
as it is we who have retreated back into Egypt; 
But the Torah of YHVH shall never be taken,
so long as we keep her written in our hearts: 
And in this shall the Word of YHVH be written
upon all the creation around us,
and upon our hearts within;
in this is the salvation of Israel.

Eighteen

And now, Judah, I will prophecy unto you once again;
for I am the oracle of YHVH,
and YHVH is the hope of Israel; 
Therefore, I say unto you: 
How firm is the foundation
build upon YHVH, our Elohim! 
And upon this shetiyyah is Zion built:
By the Chozeh, even those who see. 
And this is the rock
whereupon this earth was created and built up,
and in it is the life of Israel; 
For if mankind were to open their eyes to see,
then the adversary would have no power
over the hearts of mankind,
and the unknown would be known: 
For the seer does know,
and does testify
that there is one above all,
and one below, 
And one between two,
and two who do beget a third,
and that the three become one, 
And that one sends forth the divine light and life,
and there are seen six on the one side
and six upon the other 
And the six do rise to become twelve,
and the twelve reveal the twenty-two symbols, 
And the six are a part of the ten elohim
from the first day of the creation,
and the ten are the one. 
And this is the shetiyyah where upon Zion does dwell;
and therefore, wake up, O Judah,
and wake up your brothers,
even Israel; 
For you will be judged in your slumber,
and when the body is defiled,
the soul does flee from out of it: 
But in YHVH comes new life,
and then death shall be no more;
for YHVH is El Elyon,
and His is over all things,
even life and death; 
Therefore, YHVH is the hope of Israel,
and though your children shall not see His hope,
it will dwell within them,
that their children,
and their children’s children
shall find it. 
And though you shall be cast out,
and thrown down,
you will find YHVH again,
and you will revere Him once more. 
So says Neum, the oracle of YHVH.

Nineteen

And now, I shall speak
unto all those that are wise,
if you would but listen: 
And what is wisdom but to know good from evil?
Was this not the sin of mankind? 
No, but the sin was to take before that thing was given;
therefore, it was their shame,
and the shame of Adam could not be hidden. 
And this, O Judah, is the secret of sin:
For Adam and Eve were told not to take for themselves,
and yet they did take before their time. 
They did know,
yet they did not understand;
and therefore the adversary did deceive them; 
And thus, they could not rescue themselves;
for they understood not
what should come to pass,
and thus is mankind cast from the garden. 
Likewise, O Judah, was Israel taken,
and so too shall Judah be thrown down; 
And here is the sign that these things must come to pass:
When evil was given,
evil was taken, 
And when the widows and the fatherless were hungry,
they were not fed
even though you had an abundance of food,
O Judah. 
What nations should want to be oppressed by their neighbor?
Who that is weak wishes to be ruled by those that are stronger? 
Where is the righteous man that has not taken from his neighbor?
Come now and defend our boarders! 
But there are none that shall come to your aid this time,
O Judah; 
For you did not understand
the things of old;
therefore, you could not foresee
that what is to come. 
Who can come and rescue
the people that cannot see
things as they truly are? 
But not all is in vain,
I shall tell you of another sign,
O Judah: 
When evil is shut up,
and wickedness is bound up,
and righteousness does abound,
the light of YHVH shall shine forth as the sun. 
And it will come to pass
that truth shall fill the world,
and the world shall be see
no more war, 
But the strong will protect the weak,
and those with food shall feed all that are hungry. 
And this shall be
because the Father shall come in the flesh,
even the son of the Eternal Father, 
And though He will be our king,
we will not be His people,
and we will despise Him,
and mock Him,
and send Him away. 
And He will teach us,
and will heal the sick,
but His deeds will be judged impure; 
He who gave us the Torah,
through the hands of Moses,
shall we reject and cast out
and give unto our enemies
that He should be put to death: 
But He is our Father,
even the Father of our salvation,
and He will take upon Himself all our sins, 
And this He will do because of His great love for us,
and for our father, Abraham
and our mother, Sarah. 
And I have seen that He will return to us,
for He is the master of life and death;
and though He will die,
we cannot kill him
for He is our Elohim! 
And He should rise on the third day
and take many up with Him. 
And in the last days He will come again,
even as He did leave they that loved Him
when He did walk the earth. 
And though the children of our Father shall proclaim His peace,
they shall endure violence; 
Yet this is but for a time;
and when Zion is come into them,
their peace shall be so great
that all will fear them: 
And there will be no more wars against Zion,
for her daughters will teach the children to see
and the fathers will teach the children to know, 
And all that would make war against Zion
will fear that their people would see them, 
For should they see Zion
they would through down their swords
and covenant never to shed blood upon the earth again, 
And what can you say, O Judah of this?
Will you be Zion?
No. 
And so it shall be that Judah will fall to her enemies,
that the blood of Israel shall be spread among all the earth,
that the salvation of YHVH must come.

Twenty

And in that day,
when YHVH shall come unto the earth,
there shall be such a joy among the malakim of the heavens! 
For YHVH is willing to reconcile with you, O Israel,
His hand is stretched out
towards all those that do love Him. 
Take His hand, O Judah,
and declare your love reconciled
in the restoration of all things; 
Refuse not the hand of the Lord of lords,
that death shall not overtake you. 
The love of YHVH for Israel
is even as the love of a husband to his bride,
and without this marriage the world should not exist: 
For YHVH is the husband,
desiring only to bestow unto his bride,
that she, in her love, should receive
all that He does have; 
But when Israel should refute His love,
and not receive of His fullness,
then the love of YHVH should be given to another,
even unto the gentiles. 
Yet when Israel should be restored
unto her former glory,
then shall YHVH come again unto His bride,
and take her unto Himself; 
And their love shall be eternal,
and there shall be neither Judah nor gentile,
for all that walk upon that straight path to our Elohim
shall be Israel. 
And their love shall be so great
that their fire will never be extinguished,
but all that Israel should desire
will YHVH give unto her: 
And this because she will never again look unto another’s eyes
lusting in adultery
but shall be forever faithful
unto her first love. 
O Israel, O Judah!
Why do you go a lusting after other elohim
created by the hands of men? 
Why does your faith stray as an adulterous heart
when YHVH desires nothing
but to give you all that is in the heavens and the earth? 
What more could these false elohim give
but doubt and troubles,
leaving your hearts longing
for the days when YHVH would hear us when we cried out? 
For did YHVH not hear our cries
for food in the wilderness
and give us manna and quails? 
And when we did thirst,
did El’Olam not send forth Moses and Aaron to strike the rocks
that we might drink? 
And even now,
YHVH has living water for you,
but you will not drink it,
for it seems bitter unto you. 
But His water is sweet to the taste,
and His manna does make us to never hunger again; 
Therefore, let go of these false elohim,
worship not your vain sacrifices, 
For YHVH is full from the fatted rams
because you do burn them up
and do not feed the poor among us. 
His daughters come not before Him at the full moon anymore,
and his sons come to Him on the new moons with vain sacrifices: 
Wherefore, seek you, O Judah,
the mercy of YHVH
and to be His hands once more; 
Make the widows your mothers and your wives, O Israel;
make the orphans your sons and your daughters, O Judah: 
Plead their case before Elohim Shaddai,
and the mercy that you would give unto them
shall YHVH, your Elohim, return unto you
even seven fold; 
And seven times upon seventy times shall you be blessed, O Judah,
but will you hear?
And if you do hear, will you listen? 
And YHVH will turn His mighty hand toward you,
but you shall not be wiped from the face of this earth, 
But you shall be sent out, O Israel,
that this creation might be turned
from corruptible into incorruptible,
for this is the power of YHVH
unto salvation.

Twenty-one

As I have said to you:
The heavens, as they are crowned with stars,
teach us her mysteries. 
By this we know
that order cannot come from the earth to the heavens,
but all truth must come from the heavens to the earth. 
And we can see clearly:
Upon the earth,
there are servants and slaves that seek to be free; 
But in the heavens,
it will be the slaves and the servants that are free,
and those that were free will be as servants
to those that were unjustly enslaved upon the earth. 
Upon the earth,
a daughter born is given by her father to another man; 
But in the heavens,
no woman will be given nor taken,
but she will be free to be
even as she desires in her heart. 
Upon the earth,
the living do become sick,
and even those that are healthy do die,
taken even when we do not suspect. 
But in the heavens,
there is no death,
but the creation will live forever,
and none will grow old, and none will grow sick,
and death will be forgotten, swallowed up in YHVH. 
Upon the earth,
life is eaten,
and death is abundant, 
But in the heavens,
love shall abound forever,
and life is eternal, 
Were it not so,
the Son of man should not need come into this earth. 
But it is even as I have said,
and this I do know,
for El’Olam has shown it to me;
for He is Elohim Shaddai,
and He cannot lie. 
Know that this earth was created
for a great purpose in YHVH,
and Ha’Elohim did gather and watch over the works,
and YHVH Elohim did declare them good; 
And the union of the earth and the heavens
is even as the union between a husband and his wife,
and the union between Israel and YHVH
a wife and her husband: 
And Israel is neither given, nor is she taken,
but she did come to YHVH of her own will,
and she did cry out to YHVH, saying: 
All that YHVH has spoken, we will do! 
Likewise, the earth has cried out to the heavens,
and is faithful to YHVH
and to Ha’Elohim,
and shall be rewarded in their union. 
And what seed does Israel bear?
If her love be YHVH,
then her seed shall resemble her husband, 
But should she love another,
and reject the covenant,
then her seed shall resemble her adulterer; 
For Israel is not owned
but YHVH does loves her,
and she is free to reject her husband, 
But when she does forget her promise:
All that YHVH has spoken, we will do! 
Yet YHVH does not forget His love for her,
O Israel,
and He will wait for her restoration to come. 
YHVH is a jealous Elohim,
yet He is El Elyon,
and has been patient towards you,
O Judah, 
YHVH does not desire your destruction,
but does call you back in teshuvah! 
The day of His wrath is coming,
yet His restoration will also come,
and you will see that He has been faithful
and that He loves His Israel;
amen and amen.

Twenty-two

O Judah, how I lament your woes!
You have demanded justice
without mercy for your enemies,
and now you will be given justice
for your own crimes. 
You remember the holy days,
but forget your oaths to be a holy people
to YHVH, who is holy. 
You pour out your libations,
and the smoke rises from the fires of your sacrifice,
but the water is polluted,
and the smoke is a bitter scent. 
You have robbed the poor,
and stolen the food of the hungry,
and think that burning up the fat of cows and rams
will quench the hunger of Ha’Elohim. 
But know that every woman cries
in the pain of her labor when she gives birth,
and you, O Judah, shall cry in pain
as you give birth to the children of your distress. 
Yet when you do see, O Judah,
the love that YHVH does have for you
and your sons and your daughters,
then you will cry out
in the joy of your redemption. 
And at the end of days,
the wars shall see their endings,
and the temples will again be consecrated to YHVH Elohim; 
And the true arts will be taught again,
and truth will be written upon pillars
that will rise into the skies, 
And YHVH will come down from the clouds
and the earth, she will receive Him 
And then will the heavens and the earth be one,
and hymns of joy will be sung forever and ever: 
For the heavens will be open
and the treasures of heavens poured out upon this earth! 
And Israel will abandon her pride,
and the daughters of Zion will be given their due, 
For the days of their oppression will have ended,
and they will be lifted up by the right hand
and crowns placed upon their heads. 
And their tears shall be wiped away forever,
and their hearts shall not be broken again. 
And this because YHVH Elohim is the one
who does consecrate
and does purify
all that would walk in His gardens
and tend to His fields. 
And all will see and know the glory of YHVH
and will bow down before Him
and shall proclaim His salvation. 
And then shall all the earth see
the love YHVH has for His bride,
even Israel, 
And shall see her salvation
from the beginning to the end, 
And having repented of her sins,
she will go forth unto YHVH forever and ever,
never again to taste of death or sin. 
And Israel shall say:
YHVH has called me back,
He is my redeemer! 
Though I did turn my back on Him,
He never did look away,
and in His compassion,
He has brought me back: 
And though I hid my face for a time and times,
with everlasting compassion YHVH did remember me! 
And my love is forever for YHVH,
He is my husband,
and our love will never be broken. 
And then shall the poor be fed,
and the fatherless be cared for,
and there shall not be rich nor poor,
but all will be one
in YHVH. 
Even as it was in the beginning;
even so, amen and amen.

Dictionary

A

Abib / Aviv

The first month on the Hebrew calendar, called Nisan (from the Babylonian calendar), the seventh civil month, today. It is the first month of the year, according to the Torah, and is the month of the first fruits and of Passover. Abib/Nisan occurs in March–April on the Gregorian calendar. 
See 2 Moses 23:13; 3 Moses 33:13, 39:13, 40:1, 50:1; 4 Moses 1:1, 8:9, 9:1-4; 5 Moses 14:1-4; Exodus 12:1-2.

Abomination

Hebrew feminine noun identifying a selfish desire; sin, detestable act, or object of loathing: anything that takes us away from teshuvah, the love of God.

Adam

Hebrew אדם, "human,” or “mankind.” This can denote the man Adam, the couple Adam and Eve, a man, mankind generally, a person, or people. As the human race, this is Adam Kadmon (premortal beings) that becomes, through Christ, Adam Elyon (resurrected and perfected beings). As Adam, he is Michael the archangel (Doctrines of the Saints Appendix 1:11, 2:7, 7 Joseph 5:11, Book of Remembrance 7:15). He may be the Holy Ghost, the Apostle Brigham Young taught, “It is true that the earth was organized by three distinct characters, namely, Eloheim, Yahovah, and Michael, these three forming a quorum, as in all heavenly bodies, and in organizing element, perfectly represented in the Deity, as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost” (Journal of Discourses 1:51). While this echoes the Book of Remembrance, it may merely be symbolic. As the human race, we are Adam Kadmon (premortal beings), and become, through Christ, Adam Elyon (resurrected and perfected beings). 
The Hebrew translated as “Adam” is connected with other Hebrew words, helping to clarify the meaning. Two of the words connected with Adam are אָדֹם (adom) meaning “red” and אַדְמָה) adamah) “ground,” or “earth.” This tells us that Adam or mankind is somehow associated with both the color redness and the earth, as to say that we, Adam, belong to the earth. 
In the Hebrew there is a difference between the creation of Adam and the creation of Eve. While Adam is created (Hebrew, yatzar, Genesis 2:7, meaning “fashioned”) similar to a potter fashioning vessels from clay. Eve is created (Hebrew, banah, Genesis 2:22, meaning “built”) as a divine creation. This term is used throughout the first chapters of Genesis. The Hebrew verb banah is from the word binah, “intelligence.” This suggests that from the beginning woman was endowed with a superior sense of wisdom, tying Eve to the Shekinah. 
See also 1 Moses 2:12; Genesis 2:19; 1 Corinthians 15:22, 45; Doctrines of the Saints Appendix 1:11, 2:7; 7 Joseph 5:11; Book of Remembrance 7:15; Journal of Discourses 1:51; Eve, Male and Female, Ruach HaKodesh.

Adar

Adonai

Hebrew, “Lord.” In the Jewish Bible this term is used rather than YHVH when reading the Hebrew text. Its root is “shalam,” meaning “to be complete” or “sound.” Adonai should not to be confused with “adon,” “mare,” or gebir, which also mean “Lord,” but in the sense of domineering, and in a master, or “rabreban,” which means “lord,” or “noble.” At times, people in the scriptures call the angel of the Lord Adonai. This is likely to show respect without worshipping the angel. 
After the fall of Judea to Babylon, the people stopped using the name, YHVH, for God. Adonai was one of the replacement terms used in place of the name in the scriptures.

Adultery

Hebrew masculine noun, נאף” ,naaph,” can refer to a man having sex or a sexual relationship with a married woman; also used to describe the worship of idols as God views our relationship/covenant with Him as a marriage covenant.

Adversary

See Satan.

Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh

Hebrew אהיה שרׁא אהיה. “The Creator,” or “I AM that I AM,” “I AM (the One) that Makes/Creates.” or “I am the Existing One.” The modern pronunciation is ’ehye ’ăšer ’ehye. This appears to be a name for YHVH, Jesus Christ. 
See 1 Moses 1:1, 3 Moses 3:20, Exodus 3:14, John 8:58, Doctrines of the Saints 15d:4, Book of Remembrance 23:62.

Air

Can denote the wind or air in the classical sense, the Holy Spirit as the wind or breath of God. The element of air is represented as the Sefirot Da’at, or knowledge—Heavenly Father, or the Divine Masculine. 
See 5 Moses 2:7, 12:16; Book of Remembrance 33:9.

Aleph/1

Aleph (or alef, or alif) is the first letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number one, or 1,000 when referring to years. Aleph shows us the Oneness and Unity of God, either as the trinity, one God acting as many, or as the Godhead, many Gods acting as one. The unity of God cannot be divided. This perfect unity, being one as Christ pleaded for his disciples to be one, represents perfection beyond human comprehension (John 17:11). It also represents the fact that God, as the Creator, is the source of everything. 
Some draw Aleph is two Yods; one above and one below, with a diagonal line, Vav, between them. This represents the sealing power: as above so below, as below so above, as Christ ask in his introductory prayer (Matthew 6:9-13). This teaches us that the higher world and the lower world are connected. Aleph is the essential symbol of beginnings: the Alpha. Jewish Kabbalah ties aleph to the element of air, and thus El Abba and Da’at. It signifies the path between Keter and Chokhma in the Tree of Life. Aleph also represents the Fool in the tarot’s major arcana. 
It is said by the Midrash that Aleph is humble, because though it is the first letter, it was not the letter to start the Torah.

Aleph Tav

The first and last letters of the Hebrew Alphabet; the Beginning and the End. Some see it as a symbol or signature of Jesus Christ found in the Hebrew Bible (the Torah or Old Testament). In Hebrew, Aleph Tav serves as the preposition like the Hebrew עם) eem), meaning “with.” It is also a feminine pronoun. Based on the Biblical text, both may be correct, depending on its use in the writings.

Allah

Arabic, “God;” name for God used by Arabic people of different religions since pre-Islamic times. It is commonly known as the term for God by both Arab and non-Arab Muslims and Arab Christians. In 1 Moses 30:20 the term “God” is translated to “Allah” is the hieroglyphs Heka-ka in Egyptian, which can be translated as Heka: “magic” and ka: “vital force,” denoting the power or being(s) that existed before the creation and division of the heavens and the earth. 
The hieroglyph for Heka-ka appears as a man in temple garb holding a staff with two snakes, much like Moses in the Torah (see Numbers 21:8) with two arms above his head forming a square. In the flames (God's translation to Hebrew) over this hieroglyph is “Elohim” which is Hebrew for “Gods” which can denote the Godhead or Trinity as a whole, God the Father & Mother, or the Masculine and Feminine aspects of God. 
However, when translating David was moved by the Holy 
Spirit to translate Heka/Elohim to Allah here to denote that the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the same Elohim of Abraham and Ishmael, called “Allah” in their tongue.

Amarutu

See Mahan

Amen/So mote it be, Amen

Hebrew (אמן) “verily,” “truth,” “truly.” “So Mote it be” is from the Old English “so mot hyt be” (so it must be), a way of saying “Amen” still used by Masons and other groups today. “So mote it be, Amen” is the same as saying “Amen, and amen.”

Amethyst

The stone of Gad, in Kabbalah this stone is believed to bring patience and peace to oneself. It is a stone of healing and said to connect mankind to the divine. 
See 2 Moses 26:8; 3 Moses 38:12; 4 Moses 41:10; Exodus 28:19, 39:12; Revelation 21:20.

Angel of YHVH

a messenger of YHVH that appears repeatedly throughout the first four Books of Moses, the Tanakh or Old Testament, and the New Testament on behalf of YHVH. Some believe this may also be the Angel of the Presence mentioned in Isaiah 63:9, though this is more likely Raphael, as the Presence is a reference to the Divine Feminine, of which Raphael is the representative. Although it is believed by some that this angel is the premortal Jesus Christ, YHVH Himself, this angel tells Moses not to make supplication with him, and places himself below the Divine Council in 4 Moses 37:4. Some Rabbinical traditions hold that Zadkiel is the angel of YHVH, it may be they Zadkiel reports to the Angel of YHVH. 
See Zadikiel.

Anoint

Hebrew, “mishchah,” “to consecrate a portion.” The ritual act of sprinkling, dousing, or “washing” a person or object with any perfumed oil. This can be done to introduce a divine influence or presence, or as a part of an initiation ritual. It may also be used as a form of medicine for healing (sometimes known as unction), or to rid a person or items of dangerous spirits or demons. Jesus, the Christ, is “The Anointed One.”

Ariel

Hebrew, “lion of God” also known as Uriel “God is my light” or Malachim; an archangel, divine messenger of the Holy Spirit. Ariel represents the Sefirot Tif’eret and is likely Joseph Smith Jr., prophet of the restoration. 
See 2 Moses 2:34-38; 4 Moses 30:11, 32:57, 39:6; Zenos 10.

Ark

There are two types of arks mentioned in the scriptures. 
One is the Hebrew “aron,” meaning “coffin” or “chest” used for the ark of the covenant. The other well known ark is Noah’s ark; Hebrew, “tebah,” meaning “box” or “chest.” 
See Ark of the Covenant, Noah's Ark. 
Ark of the Covenant, Ark of God, or Ark of the Testimony: Hebrew “aron,” meaning “coffin” or “chest.” A sacred relic of the Israelite peoples. It has been described as a wooden chest covered by pure gold with an elaborate lid called the Mercy seat. It is believed to have housed the two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments, Aaron's rod, and a pot of manna. This Ark was created according to the pattern given to Moses by God when the Israelites were encamped at the foot of Mount of Elohim, called Mount Sinai in the Torah/Old Testament. 
See 3 Moses 37:1-9, 39:4, 13-16, 35-36; 5 Moses 6:1-6; Exodus 25:10-22, 26:33; 30:6, 40:20-21; Numbers 7:89; Deuteronomy 31:25- 26; Jeremiah 3:15-17; Hebrews 9:3-5, Revelation 11:19.

Astrology

From the Hebrew, "nakh’ash;" "to practice divination, or observe signs." This can refer to the idea that the stars take away human free will. According to the Zohar, " Everything is dependent upon astral influences, even the Torah" (Idra Rabba). 
Israelite astrology teaches that the stars can speak to mankind, but that they cannot rule Israel, as YHVH has given the Israelites free agency. It is forbidden for one to let the stars dictate one's life, yet there are times with God will speak to us though them by prophecy and revelation. We must see the clear divide between gaining the stars' "influence" on people (permitted) and the worshipping of the stars or any heavenly bodies (prohibited). 
In Jewish/Israel astrology there are 12 constellations, like Greek astrology. These break down to: Nisan (ṭaleh) Aries, Iyar (shor) Taurus, Sivan (te’umim) Gemini, Tammuz (sarṭan) Cancer Av (arieh) Leo, Elul (betulah) Virgo, Tishri (moznayim) Libra, Cheshvan ('akrab) Scorpio, Kislev (keshet) Sagittarius, Tevet (gedi) Capricorn, Shevat (deli) Aquarius, and Adar (dagim) Pisces. 
See 4 Moses 19:14, 20:23, 35:2, 38:4; Genesis 1:14; Ezekiel; 1:1; Matthew 2:9-10, Revelation 12:1-6.

Athame

A sacrificial knife dedicated to God. The Smith family is known to have at least one athame, the Mars Dagger. This was a silver dagger with the symbol of Mars that belonged to Hyrum Smith (See Early Mormonism and the Magical World View, Quinn, Figure 43). Before Christ, the athame was used to sacrifice animals. 
It represents judgment, fire, and the Holy Spirit. With the exception of Levites, modern athames should be made with a covenant not to be used to shed blood and are desecrated if blood touches them. 
In temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for example, a finger is used in place of an athame for cutting the prayer circle to add someone entering after the circle has been closed. 
See 1 Moses 31:19, Book of Remembrance 33:42.

Atonement

Hebrew, “kippur” from “kaphar;” “to cover over,” or “to pacify.” Atonement is a spiritual concept taught in scriptural and Kabbalistic texts. The process of atoning allows for a transgression to be forgiven or pardoned. People can achieve atonement through teshuvah, repentance, which is followed by a confession to God and sometimes to the person harmed and restitution. The atonement of Jesus Christ both acts as our restitution and encourages us to take action to right wrongs when harm has been committed. It should be understood that Jesus, being the Savior of the world, has allowed for universal forgiveness through His death. Doctrines of the Saints 42 teaches that the atonement is unlimited in extent, offering universal reconciliation, meaning that all but perdition will eventually come to salvation through the atonement of Jesus Christ. 
See Leviticus 23:28 Alma 19:97 RAV, 42:15 OPV; Romans 5:11 Sin, Teshuvah.

Av

The fifth month on the Hebrew calendar, the eleventh civil month today. It is sometimes referred to as Menachem Av, “Comfort of Fathers.” Av occurs in July–August on the Gregorian calendar.

Avinu

Hebrew, “Our Father,” a name for God, mainly the Divine Masculine. Similar to Abba.

Awmen/Ahman, Son Awmen/Son Ahman

According to Doctrines of the Saints 45b, Awmen is the true name for God the Father and means “the being which made all things in all its parts” (vs 2). The Son Awmen “is the greatest of all the parts of Awmen which is the Godhead the First Born” (vs 4). This word, Awmen, has been spelled a number of ways, including Ahman. 
See 1 Moses 45:12; Doctrines of the Saints 45b.

Ayin/70

is the sixteenth letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number sixteen. Ayin means “eye” or “to see” in Hebrew. This letter represents the light itself; not physical light, but the spiritual light that came from YHVH, the light of the creation. The top of the letter represents our two eyes, how we see. In Kabbalah, there are three different forms of light: 
• Ain Soph at the top of the Tree of Life, the “uncreated light,” or the light from before the creation 
• Ain Soph Aur, the Ray of Creation, Jesus Christ, the light of the world 
• Ain Soph as the Ray of Creation, the light shining in the darkness to heal the creation, the light of the unconsciousness, subconsciousness, in the depths of the mind 
Ayin asks us to see beyond the physical, opening our eyes to truth, taking us from darkness to the light. Through this letter, we can break through the walls of our finite limitations to see God's truths.

B

Babel

This term is a play on words as in Akkadian the term is Bāb-ilim, meaning “gate of God,” while in Hebrew it is bālal , “confusion,” or “jumbled.”

Baptism

See Tevilah.

Behold

See Hinneh.

Berith

Hebrew, “covenant;” a feminine noun referring to the agreement between mankind and God. 
See Everlasting covenant.

Bet/2

Bet (or Beth, Beith, Beh, or Vet) is the second letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number two. Bet is the first letter of the story of creation, starting the entire Torah with Bereshit; “In the beginning…” Thus Bet represents duality; a Creator and the created, a giver (God) and a receiver (the creation). This duality creates the possibility for opposites; good and evil, heaven and hell, hot and cold, yes and no, man and woman, etc. 
Bet literally means house, and even looks like a type of dwelling. It is used to represent our kli, vessel that holds darkness until filled by God’s light. Within us it represents the “house” or temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16). According to Jewish legend, Bet was chosen by God to begin the Torah. 
Thus Bet is the tool bringing forth all of the other letters, which is to say first we build a temple for the Holy Spirit, then his fire cleans us and helps us grow in Christ’s grace.

Born again

Also known as the pierced heart denoting that a thing is capable of serving God. Being born again is a type of spiritual rebirth, or the birth or the soul. The pierced heart is a prayer, the true prayer. I is not a vocal prayer, or a prayer recited in our minds. It is a prayer in our hearts; it is a sincere plea to God inscribed in our very souls. This prayer comes to us the moment, in our most desperate hour, we realize we are nothing without God and desire nothing more than to be one with God (Avahr 2:11-17). In this moment we are Born Again. 
Being born again mergers our eternal spiritual selves and our mortal, physically selves giving birth to the soul. God answers this plea the moment one’s heart is broken. We pray in our hearts for deliverance, and God obliges us immediately (Alma 3:25-29 RAV, 5:12-14 OPV). Christ’s Grace will continue to help unify us until he has fully perfected us, body and soul, at the resurrection. 
See 1 Moses 4:8; 4 Moses 23:1; Mosiah 11:187-188 RAV, 25-26 OPV; Alma 3:85-88 RAV, 49-50 OPV; John 3:3-7; 1 Peter 1:23.

Binah

Hebrew, “Understanding.” Resting between but below Da’at and Chokhma, and between but above Chesed and Gevurah, Binah is the understanding that comes from Da’at (knowledge) and Chokhma (wisdom). It can only be reached after one is cleansed by Chesed (God’s mercy) and Gevurah (God’s Holy Fire/Judgement). Binah is the Holy Spirit giving us intuitive understanding, contemplation by Christ’s Grace. It is the womb, a temple inside us housing the Spirit of God. It is the birth of the soul. 
In a mundane way, Binah may also be seen as deductive reasoning. It is God helping us understanding one idea pondering or gazing at another one. Binah can be a rational process that within a person which guides us to develop an idea to its fruition. Thus scientific breakthroughs and revelation giving us guidance can both be Binah; understanding from divine knowledge and wisdom given us by God. 
See Book of Remembrance 1:21, 33:35-37.

Black, face or skin

The term “black” in the scriptures refers to the presence of pride, egoism, or sin. This is a male (selfish) and fallen presence. When the scriptures refer to dark skin in a negative way, it refers to someone or a people that once had the light of God, the Shekinah, but lost this light. As modern readers we should remember that the people of both the Bible and the Book of Mormon had literal dark skin. 
See 1 Moses 7:13; 27:23; Alma 1:103-104 RAV, 3:5-6 OPV;

The Breath or The Breath of Elohim

See Rauch HaKodesh.

The Breath of Life

This denotes life in God, being Born Again, or the pierced heart. 
See Born again.

Bridegroom

In the scripture this can be a title for Jesus Christ, the Bridegroom of the Church (Christians). 
See Jeramiah 31:31-33; Isaiah 54:4-6, 3 Nephi 10:12-14 RAV, 22:4-6 OPV; Ezekiel 16:8-14, 60; Hosea 2:13-16.

Bul

The eighth month on the Hebrew calendar, known as Marcheshvan or Cheshvan and is the second civil month today. 
It is seen as a month of darkness and decay. Cheshvan occurs in October–November on the Gregorian calendar.

C

The East represents the knowledge of God given to mankind. 
The North represents the Presence of God, or God receiving our prayers. The West represents the Mercy of God. The South represents the fire of God’s judgment, the fire that purifies the righteous and the hellfire that burns the damned.

Chag HaAsif

See Sabbath of Chag HaAsif.

Chereb

Hebrew, “sword” or “tool.” In the plates of brass, Moses is given the chereb by God via the angel of YHVH (3 Moses 3:29). Later the Chereb of Moses appears to be laid out in 4 Moses 30- 36, which is titled “The Chereb of Moses.” 
The Sword of Moses is also the title of an apocryphal Jewish book of magic edited by Moses Gaster in Israel in 1896. This “sword” is a list of magical names divided into 136 sections, for various magical uses. This should not be confused with the Chereb of Moses, 4 Moses 30-36.

Chereb of truth

Hebrew “Chereb emeth,” meaning “sword of truth,” “tool of truth,” “sword of faithfulness,” or “tool of faithfulness.” 
See 2 Corinthians 6:7, Ephesians 6:17, Doctrine of the Saints 118g:5-8; Chereb.

Cherubim

Hebrew: כְּורּב ,the ninth or lowest class of angels. According to the Book of Ezekiel they are represented to have two pairs of wings, and four faces: a lion, an ox, a human, and an eagle with straight legs, and the soles of their feet hooved, like a bull, gleaming like polished brass. 
When creating the ark of the covenant, the text of the plates of brass are clear that the cherubim were one male and one female in a sexual embrace. This is also mentioned in the Talmud, which explains this as God loving Israel “as the love between a man and a woman” (Yoma 54a). 
See Ezekiel 10:14

Cheshvan

See Bul.

Chesed

Hebrew, “mercy.” Chesed is the first Sefirot in the attribute of action in the Kabbalistic Tree of life. The Bahir states, “The fourth is the charity of God, His merit and his Kindness (Chesed) to all the world. This is the Right Hand of the Blessed Holy One” (Bahir IV:144). As Christians, we see God’s Mercy as the right hand of God as Jesus Christ. Chesed then is the Sefirot that manifests God’s absolute, unlimited benevolence and kindness. 
Chesed is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending of the Law. 
Chesed teaches extend mercy to others as God has extended mercy to us. We go the extra mile, are faithful to our covenants with God and are forgiven of past deeds (Mosiah 2 RAV, 4 OPV). Chesed enables us to pick up our cross and follow Christ, as he makes our burdens light. 
See Book of Remembrance 17:20, 29:6-8, 33:13-15,

Chet/8

Chet (or Cheth, or Het, or Heth, or Khet, or Kheth) is the eighth letter the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number eight. Het represents infinite possibilities, reminding us of our ability to rise and go beyond our human nature. In Kabbalah it is related to “neshamah,” the Hebrew term for soul, literally translated as “breath” (Genesis 2:7). Thus it also represents our free agency to choose good (light, freedom) or evil (darkness and slavery to Ego). 
Chet is an eternal revolving gateway, it gives us the power to enter the higher levels, and access to the mysteries of God, and a return to human consciousness. In the ancient world, Chet actually looked like a ladder, as in Jacob’s ladder. Representing the number 8, it also signifies transcending nature, moving to the next stage of teshuvah. in the form of the seven days of the creation. It is essential that we humans break through Ego, to spiritual realization. As we grow in Christ, Chet may be used to guide us from Grace to Grace.

Children of Elohim

In the original text of 1 Moses 9:8, “children of Elohim” would be translated to children of God (or Gods) in pure English, but a better translation may be Children of Christ, or Christians. These are the opposite of the children of man, or those that do not have a relationship with God through Jesus. Unlike the Book of Mormon, this translation did not Christianize the text.

Children of man

Or “children of men,” or “sons and daughters of man.” A term denoting humans that do not know, reject, or do not accept God; gentiles. Also can be those that lead others away from God. 
See 1 Moses 4:5, 8:23, 9:23, 64, Genesis 6:1-4.

Chokhmah

Hebrew, “wisdom.” Chokhmah is the uppermost of the Sefirot of the right line or kav yamin (Hebrew for “Right Line”) in the Tree of Life. This Sefirot possesses two faces: the higher being the feminine half of Abba Ila’ah (“the higher father”), or in other words, our Heavenly Mother, the Queen of Heaven. The lower being the Mother of Yisrael/Israel, which is to say the mother of the Body of Christ, or the Church of God (Revelation 12:1-2). Chokhma is associated with Eden and the tree of knowledge of good and evil (wisdom, knowing right from wrong). This wisdom holds the keys to God’s light and must be “unlocked” by Da’at, knowledge (God the Father). Together, the male and female haves unite to create within us Binah; understanding, through the mercy of Christ and the fire of the Holy Ghost. 
More than merely meaning wisdom, Chokhma breaks down into two words: koach (potential) and ma (what is). Just as God said in Genesis, “man has become like us, able to know good from evil”, Chokhma sees the divine potential in us to, through Christ, inherit all that the Father and Mother have.

Circumcised/Circumcision

Hebrew “mul.” Circumcising the flesh of their foreskin. Referring to cutting off a part of the foreskin of the penis. This is forbidden in the Jewish Torah, Leviticus 19:28 which reads in part, “Do not make incisions or cuts in your bodies for the soul…” Circumcision was done not as a part of the covenant, but as a reminder that one's heart should be circumcised. What God wants from us, men and women, is a circumcised heart. 
See 1 Moses 27:21; Book of the Law of the Lord 9; Genesis 17:1- 27; Deuteronomy 10:16, 30:6; Jeremiah 4:4; Acts 15:1-41; Romans 2:29; Doctrines of the Saints 14b; Book of Remembrance 13:37, 29:6-8, 33:5-8.

Circumcised the flesh of their foreskin

Hebrew, “mul” (male), “mulah” (female). Referring to cutting off a part of the foreskin of the penis. Evidence suggests that circumcision was practiced in the Middle East as early as the 4th millennium BC by the Sumerians and the Semites. Circumcision was also done by the Egyptians, possibly as early as 2400–2300 BC. 1 Moses 28 and Genesis 17 describes the circumcision of Abraham and the males in his house. However, 1 Moses 27 implies that what God is actually looking for is the circumcision of the heart. With circumcision being a common practice in his time, Abraham may have misunderstood. 
Circumcision is technically forbidden in the Jewish Torah, Leviticus 19:28 which reads in part, “Do not make incisions or cuts in your bodies for the soul…” However, it is a tradition in many parts of Judaism, even at the time of Jesus Christ. 
See Circumcision of the heart.

Circumcision of the heart

Hebrew: “circumcise the foreskin your heart.” God is asking for a broken or contrite heart. In the scriptures we are told to “circumcise” our hearts. God wants us to come to Him willingly, to choose to follow Him because of our love for Him. And with that love He wants us to have a heart that will do as He asks. 
See Deuteronomy 10:16, 30:6; 2 Nephi 6:67 RAV, 9:33 OPV; Jeremiah 4:4; 3 Nephi 4:49 RAV, 9:20 OPV; Romans 2:25-29, 1 Corinthians 7:19; Colossians 2:10-1; Born again.

Coat of many colors

Hebrew, “kuttoneth,” feminine noun referring to a tunic, or garment or coat, or cloak, and “passim,” meaning both long-sleeve and many colors. This tunic is the coat of many colors given to Joseph by his father, Jacob when he was endowed. This phrase likely refers to the length of the tunic, and its design. The text also implies that it was long enough to go past the knees. 
See 2 Moses 2:14, 3:17, 26, 4:17, 21, 8:41; Genesis 37:3, 23, 32. 
See also, Tunic.

Covenant

Hebrew, “berith;” an alliance or treaty; a divine constitution or ordinance with signs or pledges. In the scriptures, we see God making a number of covenants with mankind. These begin with covenants with Adam and Eve, and continue with Enoch, then the Noahic Covenant, a number of specific covenants with Abraham, and then again with all of the Israelite people. 
We also see other covenants in the scriptures between people, various treaties and agreements between people and nations in the ancient world. In the Book of Mormon, the New Testament, and Doctrines of the Saints (Book of Commandments/Doctrines and Covenants) we find a new covenant with the house of Israel, this New Covenant is the “replacement” or “final fulfilment” of the Old Covenant preJesus Christ, which exists to help us understand and fulfill the covenants between Israel and God. See also Everlasting covenant, and New and everlasting covenant.

Complete

Hebrew, “tamim;” “Complete,” “blameless,” “whole,” or “intact.” 
See Matthew 5:43-48, 9:12; Enos 1:10-11 RAV, 1:8 OPV; 3 Nephi 5:89-92 RAV, 12:43-48 OPV.

Cup of Elohim

In the ancient Near East, “cup” was used as a metaphor for fate. It is a feminine noun, representing both the Divine Feminine and the will of God. 
See 2 Moses 25:20, 30:13.

Curse

To wish or desire evil against someone, or to call for mischief or injury to fall upon an object, a person or a group of people. 
See Genesis 3:14-17, 4:11; Alma 1:120-115 RAV, 3:14b-19, OPV, 12:25 RAV, 17:15 OPV; Helaman 5:41-49 RAV, 13:30-37a OPV; Matthew 25:41; Mark 11:14; Revelation 22:3; Doctrines of the Saints 21:38, 26a:4-6, 35b:21, 64c:21, 78:95, 89:3-4, 93a:28, 106:47, 113:23

D

Da'at

Hebrew, “knowledge.” Da’at is the uppermost of the Sefirot of the Left line or kav smol (Hebrew for left line), the line severity in the Tree of Life. It is associated with memory and concentration, powers which rely upon one’s recognition. 
In the Zohar, Da’at is referred to as “the key that includes six.” This “key” opens all six attributes of the heart. Combining with Chokhmah (Hebrew, “wisdom”) creates Binah (Hebrew, “understanding”). Knowledge may be gained by all, and wisdom may be obtained as well. Only by combining the two, through Christ’s grace and the Holy Spirit can we see with our third eye and gain true understanding. With the knowledge of God, and the six attributes open, our kli spills God’s light into the invisible Sefirot, Binah (understanding) and into the world. 
Da’at helps us then on two levels: the lower level (mundane) and the higher level, Da’at Elyon (Hebrew for higher knowledge) or Da’at hane’elam (Hebrew for hidden knowledge). 
The lower connects us to the intellect within the realm of emotion. This enhances one’s ability to act in accordance with the Law in truth and righteousness. The higher knowledge helps us on the mortal plain by giving us hidden knowledge from Keter, above Da’at on the Tree. 
See Book of Remembrance 1:20-21, 29:7-8, 33:9-12.

Dalet/4

Dalet (dāleth, Daleth or Daled, or Dallet) is the fourth letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number four. 
Dalet literally means “door” or “gate,” representing the doorway between Ego (the sin, or general state of selflessness) and the altruism/humility we must obtain to pass through it (2 Nephi 14:5 RAV/32:4 OPV, Matthew 7:7, Revelation 3:20). Through our internal Dalet we pass through the gates and return to the power of the Aleph, becoming a part of the oneness and unity of God. 
Dalet is shaped as a man bent over in humility and receptiveness. It represents the nullification of Ego. It is through this humility we gain the understanding that as humans, we have nothing of our own (Mosiah 2:28-36 RAV, 4:16-21 OPV). We are dependent entirely on God. With this understanding we gain the diligence required to receive the light. Representing structure, Dalet is in the form of a grid; a horizontal and vertical line. It gives us structure and form, which represent the need to study and learn. This also gives it a stair-step-like appearance. 
Our knowledge and growth builds the stairway within us to heaven. Dalet is one of the names of God in Judaism. Four is also the actual number of Gods in the trinity or Godhead. It denotes the four elements and the four corners of the earth.

Daughter of Zion

This phrase typically refers to Israel, the term “daughter” implying that God is a loving father to His people. However, Book of the Law of the Lord 35:4a calls the daughter of Zion to arise, and calls upon the “Tower of the Flock,” a term for the Magdalene Priesthood. Section 118d:9, 1183:10, and 118g:28 of Doctrines of the Saints calls apostles Victoria Ramirez and FayEllen Ely, and matriarch Anni Rose daughters of Zion. Section 124:45 calls for three women (or one woman with three titles) to represent the Divine Feminine, one being the Daughter of Zion. This may refer to all of Israel, the women of Israel, a prophetess, or a variety of these. 
See 2 Moses 30:13; Book of the Law of the Lord 35:4-6; 2 Kings 19:21; Isaiah 1:8, 44, 52:2, 10:32, 62:11, Jeremiah 4:31; Zechariah 2:10, Zechariah 9:9; 3 Nephi 9:75 RAV, 20:37 OPV; Moroni 10:28 RAV, 10:31 OPV; Writings of Moroni 11:41; Lectures 4:7; Book of the Law of the Lord 35:4-6; Doctrines of the Saints 78:14, 118d:9, 118e:10, 118g:28, 124:45.

Degree

Hebrew feminine noun, in Mormon Kabbalah it represents elevation or growth in Grace. Grace grants us salvation, moving us to do the works of exaltation. According to Jewish Kabbalah there are 125 degrees we may grow in. Mormon Kabbalah teaches there are 1,000 degrees and the atonement of Jesus Christ takes us through all of these. The number 125 would then be the most anyone may obtain one their own, through Christ.

Desires

In Kabbalah the male represent the will to bestow and female the desire to receive. Our first desire should be to bestow and receive should be for and to God. Our desires grow in strength as represented by plants (lowest), animals (lesser) people (greater) and family members (greatest). 
See 3 Moses 33:14-16.

Devil

one unworthy of worship, a head demon; one who leads humans astray, a tempter. See Satan.

Dispensations

The concept of dispensations can include the arrangement of divisions in Biblical history, and periods of time when God gave or restored priesthood authority to men and women on the Earth. The Visions and Parables of Zenos break these times into eight dispensations: 
1. Adam and Eve 
2. Enoch and Aadani, Yydnah, and Ydris 
3. Noah and Na’amah 
4. Melchizedek and his wife (wives?) 
5. Moses and Zophorah, and Moses' sister Miriam 
6. John the Baptist and Mary Magdalene (wife of Jesus) 
7. Joseph Smith Jr. and Emma Smith 
8. The eternal reign of Jesus Christ (the eighth day of creation)

Divine/Divination

While many like to quote such passages as Exodus 22:18, Leviticus 19:26, 20:27, and Deuteronomy 18:10-11 to condemn divination, the reality is that there were two types of divination: good (spiritual gifts of God) and evil (tapping into demons or the spirits of the dead). It appears that the types of divination mentioned in Deuteronomy 18, for example, are foreign or used by worshipers of other gods. Also, the terms in Hebrew translated into English as “witch,” “enchantment,” “wizard,” etc. have lost their meaning and are not translated correctly. 4th and 5th Moses correct this problem. 
There are many examples of righteous divination in the scriptures. The stars appear to exist to tell us the will of God in Genesis 1:14. The silver chalice placed in Benjamin's sack as he leaves Egypt was used for scrying (2 Moses 13:2, Genesis 44:2). 
Numbers 5:11-31 uses a form of divination to prove a woman's faithfulness to her husband. Deuteronomy 33:8-10 requires Levites to use an Urim and Thummim and even various forms of sacrifice for divination. In Christianity divination uses different terms, such as dreams and visions, miracle working, and spiritual gifts to avoid the use of terms translators used for common forms of divination practices.

Divine Council

See Hosts of Heaven, Ha'Elohim.

Dust of the earth

Can denote the ground in the classical sense or in the lowest form of wisdom, the Sefirot Chokhmah, another term for Shekinah, to those seeking the Living God.

Dybbuk

The term “dybbuk” is derived from the Hebrew words, “dibbūq.” “the act of sticking” and “dābaq,” “to cling.” In Judaism a dybbuk is a malicious spirit that possesses the living. This spirit is believed to be the soul of a dead person. However, the evil spirit may be a son or daughter of perdition.

E

Earth

The term “earth” can denote the land, this planet, other earths or planets that hold life, or the Sephirot Chokhmah (wisdom), the Divine Feminine.

Eden

A name for the Divine Feminine, the Creation, and the Earth. The name comes from the Akkadian term “edinnu," and the Sumerian word “edin” meaning “plain” or “steppe.” It is also closely related to the Aramaic word meaning “fruitful,” or “well-watered.” In Abrahamic religions, the Garden of Eden, also referred to as the Garden of God, or the Terrestrial Paradise, is described in 1 Moses 4-5. 
Some ideas on the location of the Garden of Eden include: 
• The head of the Persian Gulf 
• Southern Mesopotamia where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers run into the sea 
• The Armenian Highlands 
• The Armenian Plateau 
• Iran, in or around Tabriz 
• Jerusalem 
• Bedford, England 
• Jackson County, Missouri 
• Near the town of Bristol, on the Apalachicola River in Florida 
• South American mainland It is said that the Garden of Eden was the first Temple. 
The Israelite temples had the Holy of Holies as representing teshuvah, the journey of the temple is the return back to God. 
See 1 Moses 4-5; Genesis 2-3; Ezekiel 28 and 31; 2 Nephi 1:105-118 RAV, 2:19-26 OPV; Book of Remembrance 5-15, 20:35, 30:1.

Egypt

A nation in the Middle East that was populated sometime around or between 8000 and 6000 BC. In the Bible and the plates of brass, Egypt is mentioned as a great nation. In Mormon Kabbalah, Egypt can represent the world or worldliness; the desire to receive for one’s self alone; egoism.

El/Ha'El

Hebrew, “god/the god,” or “god/the god.” This masculine term is from the Semitic word meaning “god” or “deity,” or referring the ancient Near Eastern deity, El. There are a few times when El is used for YHVH, rather than the normal Elohim (gods). The plural of El is Elim, “(male) gods.” El was the supreme god of the ancient Canaanite religion, and the name of and the supreme god in Mesopotamia's Early Dynastic Period. Many times in the Bible, El is used as a generic word for any singular god or idol, though it is used at times for YHVH. 
See 1 Moses 14:13; 2 Moses 16:18; 3 Moses 21:3, 28:6, 33:8, 45:15; 5 Moses 1:9; Deuteronomy 32:12; Psalm 44:20, 80:10, 82:1; Isaiah 57:5; Ezekiel 32:21; Malachi 2:11; Alma 12:101 RAV, 18:24 OPV.

El Elyon

Hebrew, “The Most High God,” or “the highest God,” or “the highest of the gods.” 
See El Shaddai.

Elements

Air, Earth, Water, Fire. Air represents knowledge and the Divine Masculine; Earth represents wisdom and the Divine Feminine. Water represents mercy and the Divine Son of God. Fire represents strength and judgement, the Holy Spirit. That fire becomes a cleansing fire when used with the water of Christ's mercy, but hell fire to the wicked.

Eloh

Hebrew, “goddess.”

Elohim

“Gods.” Can denote the Godhead or Trinity as a whole, God the Father & Mother, or the Masculine and Feminine aspects of God. Elohim is a combination of the feminine singular (Eloh) with the masculine plural (im). Based on the texts found in both the Torah of Judea and the plates of brass, elohim is also used at times to reference lesser gods or a council of gods, and at other times foreign gods. 
See also Ha'Elohim.

Elohim as the Children of God

“gods,” here denoting the Children of Elohim (the children of Yah, God the Father & Mother, or the Masculine and Feminine aspects of God.), or the Children of God. Can also denote the council of gods. 
See 1 Moses 3:2; 1 Kings 22:19; Job 1-2; Psalm 82:6; Acts 17:29; Romans 8:16; Alma 19:42 RAV, 40:11c OPV, Doctrines of the Saints 42:21; 53c:10.

Elohim Chaiyim

Hebrew, “the living God.”

Elohim of man, or elohim made of the hands of men

Hebrew: “gods.” Typically referring to pagan gods made of human hands, idols, or lesser deities unworthy or worship. These lesser gods are likely not associated with YHVH or His council of gods.

Elohim Shaddai

“the Almighty Gods.” Elohim is Hebrew for “Gods.” Elohim can denote the Godhead or Trinity as a whole, God the Father & Mother, or the Masculine and Feminine aspects of God. Shaddai is generally translated as “almighty,” but means “land.” This name for God could mean “Gods of this land,” or reflect God’s role as the creator of the earth, the creation.

El’Olam

Hebrew, “the Everlasting God” or “Eternal God.”

Elul

The Sixth month on the Hebrew calendar, the twelfth civil month today. It is known as the month of harvest. Elul occurs in August–September on the Gregorian calendar.

Ethanim

The seventh month on the Hebrew calendar, the first civil month, called Tishrei today. Ethanim is the month of Rosh Hashanah. Tishrei occurs in September–October on the Gregorian calendar.

Elolaum

“Endless Perfection,” “Eternal God” or “Never ending God.”

El Roi

Hebrew, “The God who sees me.”

El Shaddai

“the Almighty God.” El is Hebrew for “God.” El can denote any member of the Godhead or Trinity individually, but most likely is used to represent YHVH. Shaddai is generally translated as “almighty,” but means “land.” This name for God could mean “Gods of this land,” or reflect God’s role as the creator of the earth, the creation. 
See El Elyon.

Enmer or Enmer Kar

See Nimrod.

Eve

Hebrew, Havah or Chavah. One of Adam's first wives. 
There is some debate within Judaism as to who Adam's first wife was, Eve or Lilith. According to Genesis 2 Eve was created by YHVH by taking her from Adam's side. In some English translations, this is changed to “rib.” 
In the Hebrew there is a difference between the creation of Adam and the creation of Eve. While Adam is created (Hebrew, yatzar, Genesis 2:7, meaning “fashioned”) similar to a potter, fashioning a vessel from clay. Eve is created (Hebrew, banah, Genesis 2:22, meaning “built”) as a divine creation. This term is used throughout the first chapters of Genesis. The Hebrew verb banah is from the word binah, “intelligence.” This suggests that from the beginning woman was endowed with a superior sense of wisdom, tying Eve to the Shekinah. 
Eve is said to be the mother of all living. Seeing that Adam and Eve were the first humans that we are aware of that God worked with, it is unclear if this refers to her physically baring children, or spiritually introducing God and salvation to mankind. 
See Adam, Man and Woman, Lilith.

Everlasting covenant

A covenant passed down from generation to generation. A covenant of the earth from the heavens. See also Covenant, and New and Everlasting covenant.

F

The Feast of Booths

See Sabbath of Chag HaAsif.

The Feast of Unleavened Bread

See Sabbath of Passover.

Feast of Weeks

See Sabbath of Yom HaBikkurim.

Feh

See Peh.

The first born

Taken as a carnal commandment, this idea of a first born is understood as literally the child, typically the first son. However, in Kabbalah this would be one’s first desire. In Kabbalah males represent the will to bestow and females the desire to receive. Any instruction given in regards to the first born requires that our first desire to bestow and receive be for and to YHVH. Our desires grow in strength as represented by earth (basic) plants (low), animals (mid) people (greater) and family members (greatest).

Flood

Hebrew masculine noun, referring to drowning in Chesed because we are not worthy and will not accept Christ’s Grace. The floods destroy our wicked desires while preserving our righteous desires aboard the “ark.”

Forty days and forty nights

In the Egyptian this is represented by a symbol like a gecko, signifying a long period of time. 
The number 40 represents a period of probation, trial, and chastisement. The numbers that are divided from 40 are 5 and 8, these signify (5) grace, ending of a period in (8) revival or other words, (8) a new beginning. The other numbers that are divided from 40, 4 and 10, are also significant representing (4) the creation of something new and (10) perfection or completeness. 
In the forty days and nights of Noah's flood, the flood then represents our baptism after conversion, the grace we received and the new beginning of our perfection in Jesus Christ.

Fowls

Flying creatures, Hebrew masculine noun, that touch the air, the earth, and in some cases also the water.

Full Moon

The Hebrew word for moon, “lebanah,” is a feminine noun. The Hebrew for “full,” “maw-lay,” is male yet can mean “pregnant woman.” While the New Moon Sabbath was overseen by the male Levite Priests, it is believed that the Full Moon Sabbath may have been overseen by the Levite Priestess until these daughters of Miriam were shut away. 
In modern Judaism, there are two full moon holy days. 
The first is Tu B'Av (literally “the fifteenth of Av”), a holy day of love. The second is Tu BiShvat in Shevat, the New Year of the Trees. These likely reflect ancient Mother Goddess holy days that were rejected when Judea became monotheistic. 
See 2 Moses 26:22, 29:5; 4 Moses 34:30-32, 38:7-8, 11-12; Psalm 81:3; Doctrines of the Saints 123.

G

Gazelem/Gazelam

A gazelem is “a stone, which shall shine forth in darkness unto light” (Alma 17:55 RAV, 37:23 OPV). It appears to be a type of or another name for a seer stone, as Alma states the stone will allow the user to see secret works, works of darkness, and wickedness and abominations. This is likely an ancient term for a seer stone. 
Joseph Smith used the name Gazelam (with an “a”) as one of his code names in certain Sections of the Doctrine and Covenants for the Church of Latter Day Saints. This name was likely based on this stone. 
See 4 Moses 30:9, 33:10, 41:6-12; Alma 17:55 RAV, 37:23 OPV; Doctrines of the Saints 43:6, 47:12. See also Seer stone.

Gevurah

Hebrew, “Judgement.” Gevurah is Din, the essence of judgment. If we are saved, the Holy Spirit cleanses us with Fire. However, if we are wicked we are burned as those same flames become Hellfire. Gevurah then is both God’s mode of perfecting the Saints and punishing the wicked; judging humanity in general. It is the fulfillment of the Law, and strict meting out of justice. It stands in contrast to Chesed, though Christ’s mercy in Chesed will protect us from Genurah’s fire. 
It is because of Chesed that Gevurah is associated with the power to bestow goodness upon others, the cleansing fire becoming Christ’s light of Creation. Gevurah allows one to overcome the true enemies, be they from without (Satan) or from within (Ego). 
See Book of Remembrance 4:59, 29:5, 9, 33:16-18.

Gimel/3

Gimel is the third letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. 
It signifies the number three. Bet represents duality, which can create conflict, thus Ghimel becomes the resolution, the harmonizing of opposites. Aleph is the oneness of God, Bet the Father and Mother, Father and Son, Father and Mother, Christ and the Holy Spirit, etc. Ghimel links and balances these, creating the trinity or Godhead. Now we can see the Father & Mother, Son, and Holy Spirit. Ghimel is the balance between opposing powers, a letter of constant transformation. It is the change within us as we grow in Grace. It translates literally as “camel,” an animal humans use for travel. Thus, it carries us on our journey (teshuvah) back to God. 
Gimel also introduces us to the opposites of giving and receiving, reward and punishment. It gives us both a balance and motion between these opposite ideas. It represents dual ideologies such as kindness and cultivation. It is said that Ghimel is shaped like a foot to represent a rich man running after a poor man to give him charity. This can be both God as the rich man giving us charity in salvation, or a human following God’s command to selflessly give of all we have (Mosiah 2:28-36 RAV, 4:16-21 OPV).

Glory of YHVH

The Glory of God is portion of God's essence visible here on the earth, the terrestrial plane. This term can be used to state one is in the Presence of God, the Shekinah, or filled with the Holy Spirit. Example, the glory of YHVH filling the tabernacle in Exodus 34-35/3 Moses 46-47. It should not be seen as honor, wealth, or status, as that would be the finite, human understanding.

H

Ha'El

Hebrew, “The God.” Used as a term for God when speaking of one deity.

Ha’Elohim

Hebrew, “the Gods.” Can denote the Godhead or Trinity as a whole, God the Father & Mother, or the Masculine and Feminine aspects of God. It can also refer to the council of lesser gods. 
In the Old Testament, there are descriptions of YHVH presiding over a the assembly of Heavenly Hosts. Some interpret these assemblies as examples of Divine Council of lesser gods. Context and the Holy Spirit will guide us to the meaning of this term in its various uses. 
See 1 Kings 22:19, Job 38:7, Psalm 82:6, Abraham 3:2 (Pearl of Great Price); Hosts of Heavens.

Ha’Elim

Hebrew, “gods” (masculine). Ha is the Hebrew equivalent of “the,” El is masculine form of “god,” and “im” is masculine plural.

Hand of YHVH

The Hand of Creation, or the Hand of the Creator. God’s hand is all powerful, and at times shows mercy, and others judgment. 
See 2 Moses 1:16, 8:30, 35:31; 3 Moses 5:6, 3:2, 22:17, 44:27; Isaiah 19:16, 51:17, 66:2; 4 Nephi 1:19 RAV, 1:16b OPV.

Haniel

One of the seven archangels, associated with the Sefirot Netzach. His name means “Joy of God” or “Grace of God.” He is also known as Jophiel meaning “beauty of God” or “divine beauty.” He was Moses in the flesh. 
See 2 Moses 15:24-28; 3 Moses 2:10-11; 4 Moses 30:12, 39:6; Zenos 8, 10:30.

HaShem

Hebrew, literally “The Name.” In the Egyptian, this could be translated as “the name of ntr Ra,” Ra is the Egyptian creator god. In Hebrew the translation would be “the name El.” 
The translation used, HaShem is incorrect for the time period this was written in, but corrected based on inspiration from the Lord to the translator.

Heart

In the ancient world the heart was understood to be the inner part, referring to one’s will, mind, consciousness, emotions and understanding; one’s moral character and determination; the place of knowledge, memory and reflection.

Hei/5

Hei (or He) is the fifth letter in the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number 5, or 5,000 when referring to years. 
Representing divine revelation, it is said the world was created with the utterance of Hei. In this way Hei is the feminine Goddess, the revelation. It is through the feminine we gain wisdom, and thus free will—the freedom of choice. It represents the gift of life, both created and spiritual life. 
In Kabbalah, it is the symbol of feminine divinity, gentility, and specificity. In Judaism, some Jews use Hei as a way of saying “God” without actually saying the name of God. It is an abbreviation of the term “Hashem,” which means “The Name.” 
Through Hei we gain the freedom of choice. We have walked through the doorway and climbed the stairway of Delet. We now gain an audience with God. No longer trapped by sin, we have regained our free agency.

High Priesthood

Also known as the Melchizedek Priesthood, male, and the Magdalene Priesthood, female (Doctrines of the Saints 119:16). In Abrahamic religions, the High Priesthood is named after Melchizedek (Hebrew, “king of righteousness”), the king of Salem and High Priest of El Elyon (Hebrew, “Most High God”). 
This is because the High Priesthood combines the dual position of king and Priest. 
The Lord has identified the High Priesthood for women as the Magdalene Priesthood, as these women are set apart as both queens and High Priestesses. This High Priesthood, both the male and the female, are led by Jesus Christ, the One High Priest over all the earth (Psalm 110:4). All members of the High Priesthood are both representatives of and servants to Jesus Christ (Hebrews 5:6-10). 
While in the time between Moses giving the Torah to Israel and the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ the Levites were the only ones with the proper authority in Israel to fill the roles of the Low or Levitical Priesthood (with the exception of times and places where there were no Levites, as seen in the Book of Mormon), the High Priesthood was available to any called of God. The High Priesthood has been on the earth at least from the time of Adam and Eve, the first High Priest and High Priestess that we are aware of. 
The purpose of the High Priesthood is to bring the Heavens to the Earth, uniting the Creator and the Creation in Jesus Christ (Doctrines of the Saints 119:10). While all those that hold the High Priesthood are High Priest/High Priestesses, the offices of these brothers and sisters are divided up based on callings: Elder, High Priest, Evangelists, Patriarch/Matriarch, Seventy (Elder), Seventy (High Priest), and four degrees of Apostles. 
See 1 Moses 25:24; 2 Moses 28:15; Book of the Law of the Lord 36; Genesis 14:18–20; Psalm 110:4; Zenos 9 header; Alma 10:7-15 RAV, 13:14-19 OPV; Luke 8:2; John 20:1-18; Doctrines of the Saints 5a-5b, 5g:22, 8b:32, 10b:4-6, 13b:31-32, 15d:17, 42:45, 118g:13, 119:3, 16; Michelle 1:60; Hebrews 5:6-10, 6:20, 7:1-21; Levitical Priesthood, Magdalene, Melchizedek.

Hinneh

Hebrew, “Lo!” or “Behold,” or “Here am I.” This term is the combination of two Hebrew words: “hineh” and “ani,” meaning “here” and “I.” The term has a special meaning or connotation in Hebrew as it is a way of expressing readiness to fully give of one’s self. Another translation would be, “I’m at Your service!” See Hineni.

Hod

Hebrew, “Glory.” Hod is connected to prayer and submission. Rather than conqueror, Hod teaches us to subdue our passions. And, at times our prayers aren’t answered the way we want. We must submit to God’s will. What may seem like defeat in the mundane world can lead to greater success in the spiritual world. 
Being a “foot,” attributes become actions to move us forward rather than backward in defeat. Hod is a “tactical” Sefirot. Hod can at times teach us what to do when “the wicked prosper,” understanding that God will ultimately win in the end. We saw this when Moroni, the last Nephite, buried the gold plates, watching over them to give them to us in the Last Days. Hod is the group, the team; the work needed to follow through on ideas and make them happen.

Holy of Holies

Hebrew, “Qodesh HaQodasimt,” meaning “the sacred of the sacred,” “the inside of the inside,” or “the Sanctuary” a room or place in a tabernacle where God appeared, or temples dedicated to meeting with God. 
The Holy of Holies was covered by a veil,[8] and no one was allowed to enter except the High Priest, and even he would only enter once a year on Yom Kippur,[9] to offer the blood of sacrifice and incense. 
The Holy of Holies was originally covered by a veil, and only the High Priest could enter, and once a year on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. After the death of Jesus Christ the veil was torn and now all many enter. Coming into the Holy of Holies represents re-entering the Garden of Eden, returning to the Presence of God.

Holy Place

An outer sanctuary in the Tabernacle that contained a gold candlestick to the East, the show-bread to the North, the Menorah to the South, and the golden altar of incense to the West. Before the coming of Jesus Christ, only the Priest and Priestesses (eventually only the Priests) were allowed inside this room. There the Priests and Priestesses acted as representatives of the people of Israel before God. 
The idea of the Tabernacle was the return of Adam and Eve (mankind) to the Garden of Eden, represented by the Holy of Holies. The Holy Place was the area just outside the Garden, where God's voice could still be heard.

Holy song and dance

Prophetic song and dance is a ritual used to open communication between mankind and God to worship or to receive revelation. “When the prophet or the prophetess dance to hear the will of YHVH, and the will of Ha’Elohim, let the Priests or the Priestess praise YHVH in dance: let them sing praises unto El Elyon with the timbrel and harp; let the praises of Ha’Elohim be in their mouths” (4 Moses 33:1-2). 
When Jacob build the altar in El-Bethel the women “planted walnuts and certain flowers; and they did dance all around it” (1 Moses 47:13). In 2 Moses, Levi is told that his daughters would “sing the holy songs and dance the holy dances before YHVH” (23:17). Miriam (and Zipporah according to the plates of brass) led the women of Israel in song and dance to worship God after they crossed the red sea (Exodus 15:20/3 Moses 21:22). In 3 Moses 25: 18, “Miriam and Zipporah led the daughters of Israel in song and dance, and offered libations before YHVH.” According to 2 Samuel 6:5, King David danced “before the Lord” in worship. In the Apocryphal Acts of John 95 we read “Grace danceth. I would pipe; dance ye all. Amen. I would mourn: lament ye all. Amen.” 
See 3 Moses 38:40, 40:21; 4 Moses 38:7; Psalms 149:3, Psalms 150:4; Ecclesiastes 3:4.

Hosts of Heaven / Hosts of the Heavens or Heavenly Hosts

Depending on the translators, the Old Testament indicates in various places that there is a council of lesser gods that reports to YHVH. This council can be seen in the first two chapters of the Job where the sons of god assemble before YHVH. Psalm 82:1 also speaks of this divine assembly, even pointing out that these are gods (elohim) in verse 6. 
Not only are these gods, but Jesus states in John 10:34 that these gods are in fact us. This is echoed in the Book of Abraham found in the CJCLdS Pearl of Great Price where, in chapter 3, “one who is like God” (vs 34) offers a plan. Here God is likely YHVH and “one who is like God” is likely Michael, as Michael is Hebrew for [one] “who is like God.” This is echoed in 1 Moses 3:3 where God creates the gods, the Heavens, and this earth. 
The Host of Heavens can also refer to the army of God's angels. In Joshua 5:13–15, Joshua encounters the “captain of the host of YHVH,” likely Michael. He is holding a sword, appearing as a military officer. In the Book of Revelation Michael leads this army of God to victory against Satan and his forces (Revelation 12:7). 
See Abraham 4:26, 5:2; 1 Moses 3:3; Genesis 2:1; Joshua 5:13- 15; Job 1-2, 38:7; Psalm 33:6, 82; Nehemiah 9:6; Daniel 8:10; Luke 2:13; Lectures on Faith 7:6; Doctrines of the Saints 12c:14-16 & 45, 24:14-16, 68:38.

Hineni

Hebrew term typically translated as “Here am I.” However, this term has a deeper meaning, one of devotion. A better translation would be: “I heed your call, I am prepared to do whatever you ask, no matter how hard, and I understand that it will be difficult.” See Hinneh. 
See 1 Nephi 1:65 RAV, 37 OPV.

I

Idols

See Elohim of man.

Immortality and eternal life

both Immorality (“perpetuity” or “antiquity”) and eternal (“permanently moving forward”) are masculine nouns, showing this is what The Creator gives; life is a feminine noun, showing what the Creation receives.

Israel

Hebrew, “Straight to God.” The patriarch Jacob was given the new name Israel after he wrestled with an angel according to Genesis 32:28 and again by God in Genesis 35:10. In 1 Moses 45:8, “he who is a man but not a man” blessed Jacob, giving him the new name of Israel. While we do not know who this is, it is easy to speculate that this may be a name for the pre-mortal Jesus. Later, in 2 Moses 46:4 Jacob also gives Jacob this new name by revelation as a part of his endowment. While in the Old Testament Jacob is called Israel going forward, in the plates of brass he is still called Jacob and the people of God are called Israel. 
While some say that Israel comes from the root śarah (Hebrew), “to rule, contend, have power, prevail over,” others say it means “a prince hast thou power with God” (KJV,) or “El (God) rules” or “judges,” or “struggles,” or “fights.” The Lord has told us in Doctrines of the Saints 2g:20-26 that Israel is “Yashar-El, the path Straight to God,” which could also be interpreted as “the straight path to God.” 
See Yashar-El.

Iyar

See Ziv.

Iyrin

Hebrew, from the root “ir,” meaning “awake.” The term likely means “perdition” as these are a class of fallen angels or demons. According to the Book of Enoch, these are the demons that gave humans knowledge of magick and priestcraft.

J

Jehovah

See YHVH.

Jesus Christ

Likely referred to as "Jesus of Nazareth" in his lifetime. Jews of that time only had a first name, perhaps followed by the phrase "son of [their father's name]", or, as in Jesus’ case, the individual's hometown. He was also known as "the carpenter's son" or "Joseph's son." He may have also been known as "Jesus, son of Joseph from Nazareth." In Hebrew, his name would have been “Yeshua,” the Hebrew form of Joshua. 
The modern Jesus comes from the Latin Iesus, which is from the Greek “Iēsoûs.” His name means, “YHVH is salvation.” 
Jesus is the Christ, with Christ being a title or office as He is the Messiah. His life, death, and resurrection was prophesied from Adam’s day until His birth. 
Jesus taught followers that the true kingdom was not an earthly government, but an internal state of being (Luke 17:21). 
He lived the exemplar life; He was and is the Torah lived. His teachings were not replacing the Torah, but to clarify its original meaning and purpose. Beyond teaching mankind the Torah, Jesus came to earth to give the greatest of gifts, the atonement. 
After His final teachings, given at the Last Supper, Jesus goes to the garden Gethsemane, where He prays and takes upon himself the sins of the world. He is then tried by the Sanhedrin, Herod, and Pilate. Though he is not found guilty, the people chose to free Barabbas, a false Christ, rather than Jesus. Jesus is then beaten and taunted before made to carry His cross to Calvary or Golgotha for crucifixion. Above His head, on the cross, is the inscription, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” At the end, Jesus gives up the ghost, ending his own life, as no human had the power to take his life. Three days later, the atonement is completed as He returns in His true, perfected form as the God that He is. Jesus first appears to Mary and other women, but the men do not believe them until they see Him with their own eyes. After this, Jesus goes to other sheep, including those in the Book of Mormon, teaching them the Torah as he had the Jews. 
In the spring of 1820, Jesus returned as predicted in the Book of Acts, coming back down from the Heavens to the young prophet, Joseph Smith Jr. This set the stage for His second coming, when he will come in glory to make the earth a paradise, returning the creation to Eden once again. 
See Matthew, Mark, Luke, John; Acts 1; 3 Nephi 4-14 RAV, 8-30 OPV; Avahr 5.

Jophiel

See Haniel.

K

Kaf/20

Kaf (or khaf, or kaph) is the eleventh letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number 20, or 500 when in its final form. Khaf literally means “palm of the hand.” It is like a cupped outstretched palm, ready to receive, like the right hand portion of the Second Token of the Lesser Priesthood, and the left hand portion of the First Token of the Higher Priesthood mudras. Kaf represents form, a form that contains the life and energy of the person using it. Being a chalice sign, it also represents Jesus Christ, and the element of water. The letter of formation, bending the straight line into a curved shape, symbolizes the crown of the Torah which is Keter. 
Kaf teaches us to shape ourselves, we are liquid bending the ego to the shape our character, Christ. Kaf (representing Christ) is what gives us form. As we bend and govern our tendencies, we shape our character. We can only do this by rejecting Ego for humility. Like a potter shaping clay, Kaf recreates us in God’s image. All possibilities of containing, building, and the formation of all existence are represented. 
Christ is the creator of worlds. We recreate ourselves through his mercy, if not then the fire of the Holy Spirit would burn us to cinder. Thus Kaf changes us by reminding us of who we really are.

Keter

Hebrew, “crown.” Keter is the uppermost of the Sefirot of the middle line or kav emtsaee (Hebrew for “middle line”), the line of mildness or balance in the Tree of Life. In the Zohar, Keter is known as “the most hidden of all hidden things,” being incomprehensible to man. Only through God may the incomprehensible be known. Keter teaches us humility, “the last shall be first, and the first last” (Matthew 20:16). To see the world through the Sefirot Keter: 
• one’s thoughts should be pure 
• one’s temperament should be gentle 
• one’s face always shining 
• one’s ears should listen to hear the good in all places 
• one’s eyes should not seek evil, always looking for the good in all things 
• one’s nose should be free from the breath of anger 
• one’s mouth speaking nothing but good, righteousness. 
We see Keter through Binah, which is a reflection of this Sefirot as seen by the human soul once we are born again. 
See Book of Remembrance 13:15, 29:7-8, 33:1-4.

King of peace

See Melchizedek

Kislev

The ninth month on the Hebrew calendar, which is the third civil month today. It is known as the month of dreams. 
Kislev occurs in November–December on the Gregorian calendar.

Kof/100

Hebrew, represents the requirement of removing the husk of the superficial to reveal the holiness within, indicating the requirement for us to overcome our worldly nature emulate the Creator as we are made in His image, and to realize our true nature, our spiritual nature, beyond the mere physical.

Kolob

Koukab or kokob (singular), Kokabim or kolaubeam (plural). Masculine noun: star or stars. Kolob may denote a planet or black hole that appears to be a star due to distance, likely at the center of a galaxy, as Abraham describes our star in its orbit. Some Latter-day Saints have speculated that it is the Dog Star, others consider Kolob a planet. According to the Book of Abraham, Kolob is the heavenly body nearest to the throne of God, and is used and an example of Jesus Christ. 
See 1 Moses 3:27; Abraham 3:3-10.

L

Lamed/30

Lamed (or Lammed or Lamedh) is the twelfth letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number 30. Lamed is translated literally to “learning,” and so that is what it represents. It’s shape is that of a shepherd’s stick, representing a pastoral staff. It is tied to Tzadikim Nistarim, the 36 righteous people that keep the world from ending. Located at the center of the aleph-bet, Lamed represents the heart (Lev לב .(In Mormon Kabbalah, this means the burning bosom, where the Holy Spirit speaks to us. Thus we learn not merely with the mind, but by revelation from God to our hearts, minds, and souls. Spiritual learning is the heart of human existence. The purpose of Mormon Kabbalah, and in fact, our mortal lives, is to learn and express spiritual teachings and practices. 
Like a lighthouse high above a cliff, Lamed helps us see past the storms. Kaf shapes us, Lamed (learning) is how we are shaped. Lamed represents constant change, as we learn we grow. 
Thus it teaches us to learn from everything in life, by blocking the Ego and gaining spiritual perfection through Jesus Christ, We learn the Law, the will, and ways of God, aligning ourselves with and becoming one with God.

Laver

A large basin used for ceremonial washings and other temple worship. 
The Law of Carnal Commandments or the Torah of Carnal Commandments: The Law Moses and Zipporah gave Israel the second time was the same Torah, the same Priesthood as the first. However, because of the unrighteousness of the people, they could not understand what they were given. Without being in the Presence of God (Shekinah) they could not see the spiritual side of the Torah and only saw it was an earthly law. 
See 3 Moses 23:5, 33:6-23, 34:13; Hebrews 7:11-16; Doctrines of the Saints 5c:10-14.

The law of the unfaithful wife

This is not an issue of the woman not being a virgin, but of the husband slandering his wife. In ancient custom, the parents of the bride would keep the bed sheets, and if the husband slandered their daughter, they could take him to the judge after putting some blood on the sheets, and he would be libeled for slander. This law became more important when women were put to death for not being faithful to their husbands, or future husbands. 
This type of slander was seen as an attack on the woman’s parents, the slander was not merely saying that she committed adultery, but also that she did not honor her parents, the greater sin in the minds of people at that time. There is no law against premarital sex in the Torah, but some parents sold their daughters to their husbands as virgins. Saying that his wife was unfaithful was an attack on her parents in this manner, as they were being accused of robbing him. 
While the plates of brass do not say that the woman should be put to death, the later version of this text found in Deuteronomy 22:13-21 does demand that the woman be put to death if they were not virgins when married. It should be noted that Book of Remembrance 22:12 defines a virgin as “a pure desire to bestow.” While people may have read Deuteronomy literally, this more likely was mean to be understood spiritually and “virgin” should be better defined as a righteous person rather than merely as a woman that has not been with a man sexually. 
See 5 Moses 23:13-20, Deuteronomy 22:13-21

Leap year

See Adar-aleph.

Libation

Hebrew, “to pour,” or “to pour out.” Libations were done in ancient Israel, pouring water, oil, or wine out on altars or onto the ground as a sacrifice to YHVH. Libations also appear in the New Testament, practiced by Jesus and others. The Greek term for libation, σπονδή, became synonymous over time with “peace treaty,” as they were normally conducted in a spirit of peace. 
See 1 Moses 47:14, 3 Moses 24:11, 4 Moses 38:11-12, Genesis 35:14, Exodus 29:40, Leviticus 23:13, Isaiah 30:1, Luke 22:20, Philippians 2:17.

Lilith

Hebrew, “of the night.” Genesis 1:27 and 1 Moses 5:10 imply the idea that Adam was married before Eve. In the Bible she is mentioned in Isaiah 34:14, translated into English in many renditions as an owl. Some forms of Lurianic Kabbalah teach that Lilith was created before Adam and that Eve was created later, after Lilith's expulsion from the garden. 
The Book of Remembrance does not give an order of the creation or Adam, Eve, and Lilith, but puts all three in the garden when God forbid them from eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil (see Book of Remembrance 4:11). According to the Book of Remembrance, Lilith was the first to fall to Satan's temptation, and was the serpent that first tempted Adam. 
When she failed she fled the garden and became perdition as she would not repent. Later, she tempted Cain to worship Satan and kill his brother. 
See 2 Moses 7:7, 20:21; 2 Moses 1:30, 16:21-22, 25:9; 4 Moses 41:7, 13; Zenos 3:9-17; Book of Remembrance 4:14, 5:6:-40; 6:13-14; 7:30, 9:16-17, 20:35, 24:24-25; Doctrines of the Saints 14e:29-30; 2 David 2:11-22.

A living soul

One who is born again, the premortal spirit and the mortal body uniting in Christ, birthing a new life: the soul; denoting that a thing is capable of serving God.

Lo

See Hinneh.

M

Mahan, Master Mahan

“Great one,” or “master of a great secret.” a title assumed by Cain, then later by his descendant, Lamech and others. While the origins of this term are unknown, the Hebrew word “maha” translates into “destroyer.” By adding an “n,” the term takes the form of a noun. 
See 1 Moses 7:31-32, 8:16-17; 5 Moses 9:27; JST Genesis 5:16, 35 (Moses 5:30-31, 49).

Magdalene

Mary Magdalene is the wife of Jesus Christ and witness to his crucifixion and resurrection. Luke 8:2–3 states that Mary had seven demons had been driven out of her by Jesus. It also states that she was one of the women who helped support Jesus' ministry financially, meaning she was likely wealthy. Known in some Christian traditions as the “apostle to the apostles,” Mary Magdalene is seen as the closed person to the Savior. 
In many now Apocryphal texts that were popular at the time of early Christianity, Mary is portrayed as an apostle and/ or a prophetess and leader of the early movement. She was rejected by the early Catholic Church, and defamed in 591 when Pope Gregory I accused her of being the “sinful woman” who anointed Jesus's feet in Luke 7:36–50. Today we know her to be a prophetess on the same level as Melchizedek. 
The term “Magdalene” is in reference to the city Magdala, which is from the Aramaic (Magdala) and Hebrew (Migdal) meaning “tower.” Magdala was a fishing city on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. Putting these two facts together may imply that “Magdalene” is in reference that Mary was both a fisher of mankind (an apostle) and a leader (tower), a head of the Church in ancient times. Today the High Priesthood held by women is called the Magdalene Priesthood. 
See 2 Moses 28:15; Zenos 9 header; Luke 8:2; John 20:1-18; Doctrines of the Saints 5b:1-14, 48-53, 61-62, 70-70, 5g:22, 8b:32, 10b:4-6, 13b:31-32, 15d:17, 42:45, 118g:13, 119:3, 16; Michelle 1:60; High Priesthood.

Magician

Hebrew: “chartom;” an “engraver” or “writer,” likely of spells. 
See Doctrines of the Saints 106:1-35.

Malachim

See Ariel.

Malak (singular) Malakim (plural)

Hebrew, “angel(s),” “envoy,” or “messenger” both human and divine. The noun derives from the root l'k, meaning “to send with a message” and is associated with and in the noun “Mel’akah,” meaning “work,” “occupation” or “craftsmanship.” 1 Moses 28:26 describes the malakim that met with Abraham and Sarah as “holy men,” while the “angel of YHVH” is literally Malak of YHVH. Thus, a malak or angel may be a human or a “supernatural” or divine being.

Mal’akh Ha’Mavet

Hebrew, “angel of death.” Some say this is Azrael, others Gabriel, but the identity of this angel is unknown. It may even be more than one angel. 
See 3 Moses 5:6, Exodus 12:23, 2 Samuel 24:16, Isaiah 37:36, Psalm 116:15, Hebrews 1:14 and Revelation 6:8.

Malak Olam

Eternal Holy Man or Eternal king; Hebrew, “messenger (angel) everlasting.”

Male and female

“Able to give and to receive,” in Kabbalah male denotes the desire to give, while female the will to receive. Together these signify the duality of mankind. 
See Adam, Eve.

Malchut

Hebrew, “Kingdom.” Malchut, the tenth of the sephirot in the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, sits at the bottom of the Tree. This Sefirot represents Eden as a symbol the Bride (the Church, the body of Christ upon the Earth). Malchut is the “first lens” of one’s third eye. Rather than emanating from God like the other Sefirots, it emanates from us, God’s creation reflecting God’s glory from within us (mankind was created in God’s image). 
See Book of Remembrance 29:13, 33:31-34. 
Even though it is the last Sefirot, it is also the first “the last shall be first, and the first last” (Matthew 20:16). This creates the eternal loop between Keter and Malchut, creator and creation, God and offspring. God’s divine energy comes down and finds its expression in this realm. God grants us the priesthood, God’s power, is to bring that energy back around In a circle and back up the Tree of Life.

Mandrake plant

Hebrew, “love plant.” The ancient Hebrews believed that the mandrake plant could be used to induce conception. Some scholars believe that the Biblical mandrake may actually be the opium poppy.

Manna

Hebrew likely from the Aramaic “man hu,” meaning “What is it?” Manna is the term used for an edible substance God provided for the Israelites as they traveled in the desert. Manna is described as being like the frost left on the ground. It was flat, the size of coriander, white, and tasted bland yet sweet. 
Manna kept overnight would rot, stink, and have worms in it by the morning, with the exception of manna gathered for the Sabbath. In the Quran manna is also mentioned. Sahih Muslims claim that Muhammad said they were like a “truffle” given by God (here Allah) for food, and that its juices could be used an eye medicine (Bukhari Volume 7, Book 71, Number 609). Some scholars have proposed manna may have been a type of honeydew or some form of lichen, a composite organism that arises from algae. 
See 3 Moses 22:15-21, Exodus 16:1–36, Numbers 11:1–9.

Marcheshvan

See Bul.

Mayim

Hebrew, “waters.” Water represents Christ’s mercy, the Sefirot Chesed, and YHVH/Jesus Christ Himself. See Chesed.

Melchizedek

Hebrew, “King or Peace,” “king of righteousness,” or “my king is righteousness.” Melchizedek was the king of Salem and a High Priest of El Elyon, the Most High God. 
According to The Second Book of Enoch, Melchizedek was born of a virgin by the wife of Nir, a brother of Noah. The child was born clothed, and speaking, he blessing the Lord, and was marked with a symbol of the priesthood. Later, in that same book, he was taken to the Garden of Eden and preserved from the Flood, outside of Noah's Ark. 
According to revelation from Joseph Smith Jr. the title for the High Priesthood given to males and those that identify as males in this dispensation is named after him “because 
Melchizedek was such a great High Priest” (Doctrines of the Saints 5b:2). In the Torah, Melchizedek is the first person to be given the title of “Kohen” (priest), with Adam and Eve being the first in the 1 Book of Moses. 
See 1 Moses 25:24; Book of Melchizedek; Genesis 14:18–20; Psalm 110:4; Alma 10:7-15 RAV, 13:14-19 OPV; Doctrines of the Saint 5b:1-4; High Priesthood.

Malchei HaMelachim

Hebrew, “King of kings.” 
See 2 Moses 24:10, Deuteronomy 10:17; 1 Timothy 6:15; Revelation 17:14, 19:11-12, 19; Doctrines of the Saints 50b:12.

Mem (or Meem, Meme, or Mim) is the thirteenth letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number 40 both forms, but its final form can also represent 600. Mem is tied to water (and thus Christ/YHVH) as it stands for “mayim,” Hebrew for “water,” as in the waters of wisdom, knowledge, and the Torah. Mem represents manifestation, granting us the ability to “dive” into wisdom. We thirst for the Word of God: the waters of life. Water is a vital element in our lives; we are mostly composed of water and the earth is covered with it. When Mem is open it represents God’s blessings in our lives, His providence; when closed it represents the concealed part of the Lord’s Celestial rule. 
Mem also represents to us the importance of balanced emotions and of humility, which is key in using Mem in meditations. Water always runs downhill, finding the lowest point. The number 40, which Mem represents, equates to the long periods of time needed for growth. It rained for “40 days and 40 nights” while Noah was in the flood, representing the time it takes to remove sin from man. Likewise, Jesus fasted for 40 days. Mem thus teaches us how to balance emotions with time and wisdom. We balance our feelings, just as one balances him or herself on a boat afloat in the waters of life.

Messiah

Hebrew, “Anointed one,” “Savior,” or “Christ.”

Mezuzah

A mezuzah, Hebrew (מזוזה” (doorpost,” or (ותֹמזוז ( mezuzot in the plural, is a decorative case with piece of parchment called a klaf (or qelaf, קלף (inside. The decorative case will likely have the Hebrew letter Shin written upon it, the first letter of one of God’s names, Shaddai (Hebrew: Almighty). The paper, the kalf, is inscribed with specific Hebrew verses from the Torah. These verses consist of the Jewish prayer, Shema Yisrael. This prayer is Deuteronomy 6:4–9 and 11:13-21. 
Sometimes Numbers 15:38-41 may be added at the end as well. 
The prayer is inscribed on one side of the parchment. On its reverse side of the paper “Shaddai” is written. 
Many Jews, and now even Christians, will affix a mezuzah to the doorpost of their homes to fulfill the mitzvah to “write the words of God on the gates and doorposts of your house” (Deuteronomy 6:9). Some will put a mezuzah in every doorway in their home, except closets, laundry rooms, and bathrooms, etc. as these are not living spaces. 
See 5 Moses 2:11; Deuteronomy 6:9, 11:20.

Metatron

Also known as Jophiel/Yophiel or Zophiel, one of the seven archangels. Not much is known about the angel Zaphkiel. 
Jews believe him to be the Archangel of Wisdom. In Mormon Kabbalah, Zaphkiel is the herald of the Sefirot Binah, which is Hebrew for understanding. According to 4 Moses and Zenos 4:4 he is Metatron (Hebrew: “one who guards”), also known as Mitatrun in Arabic. 
Metatron is the angel of the veil. His name likely came from Mattara “keeper of the watch” or Memater “to guard” or “to protect.” According to Kabbalah, Enoch is given a new name when he is transfigured, and that is Metatron. In Sefer Hekhalot, also known as 3 Enoch, Enoch is transformed into the archangel Metatron. This text identifies Metatron as the angel that led Israel out of Egypt and into the wilderness (Exodus 23:21). The name Metatron, like Jesus Christ, is a modern version from the Greek. 
See 4 Moses 30:15-16, 39:6, Zenos 4-5, 6:1.

Michael

Hebrew, “One Who is like God.” “And there stood one among them that was like unto God, and he said unto those, who were with him, We will go down, there for there is space there...” -Abraham 3:24 (from Book of Abraham Manuscript, page 8) 
In Mormon Kabbalah, Michael is the herald of the Sefirot Gevurah. According to the Bible, Michael is one of the chief princes and protector of Israel (Daniel 10:13, 21). We know he is an archangel from the New Testament (Jude 1:9). And he is a warrior, as it was he that led the fight mentioned in Revelation 12:7. According to Zenos Chapter 3 Michael was called to oversee the first dispensation of mankind here upon the earth. If Jesus, the Son as the right hand of the Father is peace, then Michael, the left hand, may be war. 
We also know from Doctrines of the Saints that Adam and Michael are the same person (Appendix 1:11/DoC 104:28 RLDS/CoC, 107:53-55 CJCLdS). The Book of Remembrance teaches us that he is or represents the Holy Spirit (28:24-31). However, Doctrines of the Saints 68:17 places both “father Adam” and Michael together in Joseph Smith's vision. We do not know if this is a different Adam or a different Michael or if, it being a vision, Joseph was merely guessing as to who these two were. 
See 1 Moses 20:2, 34:19-28; 4 Moses 30:7, 32:59-58, 39:6; Enoch 2:26, 2:50, 4:35, 7:42-43, 9:30, 13;4, 10, 16; Zenos 2:20, 3:1- 3, 3:29-42, 5:14; Daniel 10:13-21, 12:1-2; Jude 1:9; Doctrines of the Saints 21:35, 53c:49-52, 68:17, Appendix 1:11, 2:7; 7 Joseph 5:8-11; Book of Remembrance 2:30-31, 3:1-73, 12:10, 23:7-9, 28:24-31.

Mishchah

Hebrew, “to consecrate a portion.” See Anoint.

Mitzvah

Hebrew, a precept or commandment, a religious duty. 
The term has a cultural understanding that this is in the sense of a good deed, acts of empathy and kindness. There are three types of mytzvah: philosophical, personal, and social. 
Philosophical: 
• To know God, and understand that God created all things 
• To have no other gods 
• To know the unity of God 
• To respect/honor God. 
• To love God. 
• To pursue the passions of God placed in the heart and not stray after the eyes 
Personal: 
• Pray 
• Follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit 
• Study the scriptures 
• Keep the body clean 
• Keep peace in the home 
• Wear the tzitzits 
• Worship on the holy days 
Social: 
• Give to the poor 
• Worship through obtaining the Sacraments 
• Worship with family, friends, and neighbors 
• Love all, including enemies 
• Help any in need however one can 
In is understood that the mitzvot known as the Law of Moses has been fulfilled in Christ, and that parts of it will are longer be in force, such as animal sacrifice.

Mikveh

Hebrew, a bath or baptism done in full immersion to achieve ritual purity. A mikveh should include some portion from a natural source of water. 
See Law of the Lord 11; 2 Nephi 13:7 RAV, 31:15 OPV; Mosiah 11:129 RAV, 26:22a OPV; Matthew 3:11; John 3:5-7;

Moon

the Hebrew word for moon, "lebanah," is a feminine noun while the Hebrew for full, "maw-la," is male yet can mean “pregnant woman;” the Hebrew given over the Egyptian is keseh, which is masculine; see Psalm 81:3; this is likely pointing to the restoration of the Sabbath of the Full Moon; while the New Moon Sabbath was overseen by the male Levite Priests, it is believed that the Full Moon Sabbath may have been overseen by the Levite Priestess until these daughters of Miriam were shut away. 
See Doctrines of the Saints 123, see also Lebanah.

Mormon

Hebrew, מורמן. A word of unknown origin translated by the Holy Spirit as “a wild or untamed place,” or “wilderness.” According to Gordon Thomasson, the toponym Mormon (MRMN) and the toponym Hermounts (HRMN) might be the same word, and can be found in the Book of Mormon referencing a wilderness infested by wild beasts: “...a place which was called Mormon, having received its name from the king, being in the borders of the land having been infested by times, or at seasons, by wild beasts” (Mosiah 9:32 RAV, 18:4 OPV). In addition, both Mormon and Hermounts may share the root RMN. 
See 3 Moses 18:14, 54:5; “What's in a Name? Book of Mormon Language, Names, and [Metonymic] Naming” by Gordon C. Thomasson, Broome Community College, in Binghampton, New York, pages 12-13 (https:scholarsarchive.byu.edu/jbms/vol3/iss1/2/).//

Mount Ebal

One of the highest peaks in the West Bank, Mount Ebal is one of the two mountains in the immediate vicinity of the city of Nablus in the West Bank in Israel. After the Battle of Ai, Joshua builds an altar of natural stones on this mount and the Israelites offer up peace offerings. 
See 5 Moses 30:11, Deuteronomy 11:29, Joshua 8:31-35

Mount Gerizim

One of the highest peaks in the West Bank in Israel. It is sacred to the Samaritans as the location chosen by God for a holy temple and the center of Samaritan religion. 
See 5 Moses 30:11, Deuteronomy 11:29–30

The Mount of Ha'Elohim

Hebrew, “the mountain of strength,” or “the mountain of the gods.” The mountain where Moses first met YHVH and where he and Zipporah retuned with Israel to make thier covenant with God. It is unknown where this mountain is today, though there are speculations. 
See 3 Moses 3:1, 27:1-7, Exodus 19.

The Mouth of Elohim

or “the Mouthpiece of Elohim,” another way of saying prophets of God or evangelist. 
See 1 Moses 6:37.

N

Nazarite

From the Hebrew “nazir” meaning “consecrated” or “separated.” In the plates of brass this seems to be a term for those that give a portion of their lives to God, while in the Old Testament it appears to be one who gives their whole lives to God. Samson even stated “I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb,” though this may merely be stating that he never in his live cut his hair (Judges 16:17). Some see Mark 14:25 and Luke 22:15–18 as evidence that Jesus was a Nazarite or that He vow before His crucifixion. 
See 4 Moses 35, Numbers 6:1–21

Nephesh

See Soul.

Nephilim

Hebrew, “the fallen.” This refers to those that know the truth and have not only fallen from that truth but seek to cause others to fall. Examples: Lilith, Cain, or Korihor; the children of man that had been children of Elohim but turned away. This term may be an early term for “antichrist,” or “perdition.”

Netzach

Hebrew, “Eternity.” Netzach is one of the “tactical” Sefirot. Its purpose is not directed towards itself, but rather to assist in another work. We saw this in Moses’ earthly ministry when he led the Israelites out of bondage, but not into the promised land. This Sefirot marks a turning point, we may change to act as free agents for God rather than salves to sin. Netzach marks endurance, the patience to follow through on your passions without being overcome by them (40 days in the wilderness). It is leadership, bringing others to a cause and motivating them to act. Netzach answers the questions: How shall mankind receive God’s message? How can God’s will be done effectively? For it was Moses that brought us the Law and the Torah. Netzach teaches us strength, endurance, long-suffering, strength, and patience. 
See Book of Remembrance 29:11, 33:22-23.

New and everlasting covenant

A covenant written and sealed upon our hearts, binding the earth and heaven to bring the heavens to the earth. This term is used to describe our salvation and exaltation through the Atonement of Christ. The first principles and ordinances of the new and everlasting covenant are: faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, repentance in His name, baptism by immersion for the remission of sins, the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost, and the Lord’s Supper. 
We take the Sacrament of Communion “to renew the New and Everlasting Covenant, in fellowship with the Saints of Zion” (Doctrines of the Saints 15f:6). Not to be confused with the Holy Spirit of Promise. 
See Doctrines of the Saints 17a:28. See also Covenant, and Everlasting Covenant.

Nimrod or Enmer Kar

The son of Cush, great-grandson of Noah. Although the Bible is silent, he may possibly be the ancient and legendary Sumerian king, “Enmerkar.” NMR in Sumerian is the same as NMR in Hebrew, Nimrod. “Kar” means “hunter,” making his name “Enmer the hunter.” Nimrod means “Rebel” in Hebrew and Nimrod is known as a mighty hunter. 
The inspired translation of NMR in the plates of brass is Enmer Kar, and later changed to Nimrod. 
See 1 Moses 15-20; Genesis 10:8-10; 1 Chronicles 1:10; Either 1:22 RAV, 2:1 OPV.

Nisan

See Abib.

Noah's ark

Hebrew, “tebah,” meaning “box” or “chest.” The vessel used in the flood narrative. This story is told or mentioned in 1 Moses, Genesis, The New Testament, the Book of Mormon, and the Quran. It can also be found in a number of apocryphal tetes as well. This story has struck much controversy as no physical evidence of the Ark has been found. This has led to speciation of a global flood, a local flood, and no flood. 
In Kabbalah the flood is symbolic, washing away egotistical desires. The structure of the Ark and the act of the flood is relative to Temple worship. The ark is built with three decks, like the three divisions of the Tabernacle.

Nun/50

Nun (or Nuun) is the fourteenth letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number 50, and in its final form represents 700. Nun is a symbol of both faithfulness and the reward for faithfulness, new spiritual birth, coming out of the waters of Mem. 
Nun stands for humility, as it is bent both above and below. It represents the soul Neshama, the heavenly spark housed in the earthly container of the body. Nuun means “fish” in Arabic, Nun can be thought of then as the fish that swims in the waters of the Torah, represented by Mem. Connected to fertility, continuity and the ability to increase and multiply, Nun brings us out of the waters of rebirth and onto growth in Grace. 
Nun also represents the 50 Gates of Wisdom of Binah, indicating the constant presence and the humility of the soul. Like the letter Nun, the soul is bent as a person in prayer, humble constantly giving light but staying hidden. Thus Nun us to be bound to the will of the Creator, not our own Egoism. We must bend to God in the things spiritual (above) and worldly (below). Through Nun we better learn to be supple and flexible, like the fish, and not to be resistant to change. Nun reminds us to listing to our Neshama, through which the Creator is always present in us.

O

Offering or slaughter offering

Hebrew, “zevakh.” Before the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, a type of animal sacrifice, specifically the slaughter of an animal to God, followed by a feast or a meal. The Books of Moses from the plates of brass make it clear that all animal sacrifices were to be eaten and not wasted, with the exception of the parts of the animals that were inedible or that Israel was commanded not to eat. Burnt offerings (where the animal is burnt to ash so no one could eat it are forbidden in the plates of brass. 
The meal from a slaughter offering was seen as holy, and those that would eat were required to change into clean garments when possible. The ritual would began with the Priest's hands on the sacrificial animal, which would then be killed, its blood collected and sprinkled upon the altar. Oxen, sheep, and goats are identified in the Old Testament and the plates of brass for use in these rituals. 
The fat was burnt up as a gift to YHVH. The meat had to be eaten within certain time limits, any leftovers had to be destroyed. The meals were seen as a joyful occasion. Today one would take the Sacrament of Communion. 
See Book of the Law of the Lord 8; 4 Moses 26 and 27; Leviticus 2:2, 9, 16; 5:12; 6:15; Numbers 5:26; 18:26–29.

Ordinance

Hebrew, chuqqah; an enactment or statute. An ordinance is a religious ritual used to demonstrate one's dedication to their faith. All ordinances point to Jesus Christ (Alma 10:9-10 RAV, 13:16 OPV). In the Latter Day Saint tradition, ordinances are physical acts that symbolize spiritual acts, rituals that signify the covenant between the participant and God, the Priest or Priestess, Elder, or High Priest or High Priestess representing God. Some ordinances are performed once, some weekly, monthly, yearly, etc. 
See 1 Moses 6:6, 16:2; 4 Moses 1:14, 18, 24-25; 5 Moses 1:59, 2:18; Exodus 12:14, 13:10, 18:19; Leviticus 18:30; Numbers 18:8; 2 Chronicles 2:4; Psalms 99:7, 119:91; Ezekiel 11:19-20; 2 Nephi 11:57 RAV, 25:3 OPV; Mosiah 8:7 RAV, 13:3 OPV; Alma 9:72 RAV, 13:8 OPV, 10:9-10 RAV, 13:16 OPV; Sirach 6:37; Romans 13:2; Avahr 33:17; Doctrines of the Saints 3b:3-5, 3c: Article IV, 5c:8, 5d:11-12, 7a:16, 1a:67, 30:16, 87:40, 100:4-5, 107:10, 116:13, 117:9, 119:18, 124:44

Orr Makif

The outer surrounding light in Kabbalah, indicating the general providence of God, surrounding and sustaining all of existence; a container of all forms.

P

Passover

See Sabbath of Passover.

Peace offering

Hebrew, “zevah shelamim.” One of the sacrifices and offerings required by God before the coming of Jesus in the flesh. There are three types of peace-offerings: the thank-offering, the votive-offering given in fulfillment of a vow, and the free-will offering. 
The thank-offering was given in response to blessing or acts of divine favor. The votive offering was given at the fulfilment of a petition. The free-will sacrifice was given when one was moved by the Holy Spirit as a spontaneous show of piety. Today one would take the Sacrament of Communion and give offerings or to charitable causes. 
See 4 Moses 28, Leviticus 3; 7.11–34.

Peh/2

Bet (or Feh) is the seventeenth letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number eighty. Peh means “mouth” and is related to the letter Hei (“throat”). Because of this, Peh/ Feh refers to the power of speech in Kabbalah. This power is a double-edged sword. As it says in “Death and life are in the power of the tongue” (Proverbs 18:21). 
Speech is a spiritual power that can cause good or evil, depending on how it is used. Words from a blessing can heal, while violent actions can be birthed from violent words. From Peh/Feh we learn that to control our tongues can lead to selfmastery. The shape of the Peh/Feh represents the spiritual spark that is the soul, created inside the physical body when one is born again.

Perdition

The final state of ruin, the opposite to salvation. One who is perdition, in this life or in the first estate, is one who will not take part in the glory of God in the resurrection. These will be in a state of eternal punishment and damnation. 
See 1 Moses 7:18; Daniel 12:2; John 17:12; 1 Timothy 6:9; 2 Peter 3:7; Revelation 17:8, 20:14; Alma 9:29 RAV, 12:16b OPV; Helaman 5:73 RAV, 14:18b OPV; Doctrines of the Saints 42:22, 27-39, 113:28-29; Book of Remembrance 5:34. See also Iyrin.

Pharaoh

The term “pharaoh” was not used for the ruler of Egypt until about 1210 BC. Before the Nineteenth dynasty, “king” was the term most frequently used. And there could be (and were) multiple kings at the same time. Both the Old Testament and the plates of brass seem to use the term Pharaoh as a name or title for the king of Egypt. 
More than a king, the Pharaohs were said to be an intermediary between the Egyptian gods and the people. In Mormon Kabbalah, the Pharoah can represent our conscience or worldly thoughts or desires. He is the height of our worldly or physical desires to bestow to gain, the sun that shines light upon Egypt and the Egyptians. If we follow the path of Pharaoh, we will be led down the path of Cain.

Pierced heart

See Born again.

Priestcraft

Hebrew, kesheph; masculine noun, “sorcery.” In the Latter Day Saint movement priestcraft is seen as men and women that “preach and set themselves up for a light unto the world, that they may get gain and praise of the world; but they seek not the Welfare of Zion” (2 Nephi 11:106b RAV, 26:29b OPV). 
Examples of priestcraft range from necromancy to sorcerers/sorceresses, and idolators to false prophets. It can include those that make a mockery or even a business of religion, and those teaching egoism and pride, materialism, and even those in the Churches of Christ using unrighteous dominion. 
See Alma 1:3-17 RAV, 1:2-12a OPV; 3 Nephi 7:34 RAV, 16:10a OPV, 9:105-106 RAV, 21:19-20 OPV; Doctrines of the Saints 13a 29- 40, 22g: 5-6, 106:5-35, 119:13-14; Book of Remembrance 9:18, 25-26, 16:6-7, 24:24-27, Prosperity gospel.

Polygamy

Having more than one wife or husband at the same time. Monogamy is the practice of marrying only one spouse. Polygamy is the practice of marrying multiple spouses. Polygyny is the practice of a man marrying multiple spouses. 
Polyandry is the practice of a woman marrying multiple spouses. Polyculy/Polycule or group marriage is the practice of both marrying multiple spouses. There is no technical term for group marriages, but we are including these as a form of polygamy. 
Polygamy is not fornication, open marriages, “swinging,” or the like with individuals having side relationships for sexual pleasure. These are emotional bonds of marriage where all involved enter into eternal covenants with the Lord. 
The Law of Moses clearly allowed for polygamy. Exodus 21:10 mentions that a man may take another wife. The following verse states that she may leave him if he doesn’t care for her financially. Deuteronomy 21:15-17 is clear what to do with an estate if a man had two wives, and only likes one of them. 
Deuteronomy 25:5 commands a man to marry his deceased brother’s wife, it gives no exception for him if he is already married. We know the Nephites had this Law, as 5 Moses 22:17- 19 and 25:17 mirror these chapters and verses in Deuteronomy. 
We also see the example of Sarah taking multiple husbands in 1 Moses (1 Moses 21:13, 23:15-18, 24:21). 
The Lord does not appear care if we are polygamists of monogamists, as long all involved are one with each other and with God, and together they work to keep their covenants with God (Doctrines of the Saints 17d:18). Monogamy appears to be the rule when men are not faithful to their wives (Jacob 2:31, 40-41 RAV, 2:23, 31-32 OPV). Polygamy is not seen as a sexual orientation by law, like heterosexuals or those of the LGBTQ community, but rather as a lifestyle. Thus, it is a choice. That said, some psychologists disagree pointing out that there are those that do identify as polyamorous as their sexual orientation. They and their partners may choose to live in a way that honors their covenants to and with God in polygamy or in monogamy. 
See Book of the Law of the Lord 44:5; 5 Moses 25:31-32; Exodus 21:10; Doctrines of the Saints 17a-e

Polyamory

From Ancient Greek “polloí,” meaning “many,” and the Latin “amor,” meaning “love.” Polyamory is the modern term used to describe the practice of romantic relationships with more than one partner at the same time, with the informed consent of all partners involved. 
Polyamory is not necessarily a form of marriage, but a lifestyle. When discussing polyamory in the Christian/ Latter Day Saint framework, the term likely refers to a group marriage. Some that believe Joseph Smith Jr. was a polygamist understand his form of polygamy to be polyamory as he allegedly married other men's wives. 
Some in the polyamorous community do not like including polygamy or polygamists in their understanding of this term, especially those that see polyamory as open relationships, and not as marriages or sacred unions. This is a cultural understanding, not shared by all that involve themselves in this practice. 
See Doctrines of the Saints 17a-e; see also Polygamy.

Priesthood

Hebrew feminine noun, refers to our connection with God, and the power of God used by mankind. In the Latter Day Saint movement, the Priesthood is a term used for three distinct things: 
1. the power of God 
2. service to others 
3. the ministry (including Offices of the Priesthood). 
When we pray and that prayer is answered, that is the priesthood in action. 
Some things we do, as seekers, disciples, and ministers require us to hold an Office of the Priesthood to run parts of the various sects and other organizations. There are two ways we may use God’s power. The first is theurgy. Theurgy is when we attempt to better ourselves through God. The second way we use God’s power is thaumaturgy. Thaumaturgy is also known as “wonder working” or “miracle working.” These would be the gifts of the Spirit. 
All gifts of the spirit use the priesthood and may be used by men and women alike. All miracles may be considered thaumaturgy, and some require the priesthood keys. Yet miracles may also be performed by men or women that are not ordained to the ministry, based on their faith and the grace of God. God has no limits, thus neither does the priesthood.

The Presence

See Shekinah.

Prophet/Prophetess

Hebrew, “nabi,” “spokesman,” “speaker,” or “prophet;” or “ydris,” “prophetess,” “seer.” A prophet or prophetess can be anyone regarded as an inspired teacher, or one proclaiming the will of God (4 Moses 33:5, 14). 
In the Latter Day Saint movement, a prophet or prophetess is generally seen as one in contact with God, called to speak on the Lord's behalf, serving as an intermediary with humanity (the Church), delivering messages, or teachings from the supernatural source to other people (5 Moses 19:7, 11). Moses, being the example of a prophet, did more, bringing the will of the people to God, being a true emissary between the Lord (the Bridegroom) and the Israel (the Bride). 
Moreover, the Book of Revelations states that “the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy,” making all Saints prophets (Revelation 19:10). Doctrines of the Saints 2d calls us to be a prophetic people. Doctrines of the Saints 2e echoes this, proclaiming: “God is calling for a prophetic community to emerge, drawn from the nations of the world, that is characterized by uncommon devotion to the compassion and peace of God revealed in Jesus Christ” (DoS 2e:71). 
Many see a prophet as one who foresees future events, or one who utters divinely inspired revelations. And this is one understanding of a prophet. This does not, however, make a prophet all seeing, all knowing, or even necessarily a seer or a revelator. A prophet can be one that is wise teaching through the power of the Holy Spirit. We can test prophets by 5 Moses 19:14-15; Deuteronomy 18:20-22; 1 John 4:1-3; Moroni 7:4b-26 RAV, 7:5-26 OPV. 
See 1 Moses 11:5, 24:29, 37:9; 2 Moses 25:22; 3 Moses 5:12, 8:2, 21:22, 44:34, 45:8 (Numbers 12:6); 4 Moses 33; 5 Moses 10:1-6, 19:11; Jeremiah 1:9; Zenos 11:2; 1 Corinthians 12:28; Ephesians 2:19-20; Revelation 19:10; Mosiah 5:77-80 RAV, 8:16-17 OPV; Doctrines of the Saints 2d; 2e:55, 71-75; Seer, Revelator.

Prosperity gospel

A religious belief or theology claiming that financial blessings are a reward from God for the righteous, and that faith, positive speech or feelings, and donations religious groups or leaders will increase an individual's physical and/ or financial well-being. This theology teaches the idea that our spiritual and physical realities are inseparably connected, therefore those that are saved are entitled to “the good life.” 
The idea is that as we grow in grace, we will grow in wealth, and creates a theology where how we appear to others takes precedence over who we are in our hearts. This theology promotes nationalism, pride, egoism, and other “us verse them” tropes to keep the Saints against one another, making it harder to convert others to God. This theology was taught by Enmer Kar/Nimrod, leading to the destruction of his people by God. 
See 1 Moses 17-20, Priestcraft.

Q

Qafim

Hebrew, “east wind.” It was the east wind that brought the locust to plague Egypt, and it was also the east wind that saved Israel from Pharaoh's armies. 
See 2 Moses 7:5; Exodus 10:13, 14, 21. See also Mosiah 5:50 RAV, 7:31 OPV; 7:55 RAV, 12:6 OPV.

Qeturah

Also spelled “Keturah;” Hebrew for “incense.” Abraham married Qeturah after the death Sarah, his first wife. Together they had six sons. Some Jewish scholars claim that Qeturah was another name for Hagar. 
See 1 Moses 31:1-4, Genesis 25:1-4.

Qof/100

Qof (or qoph, khof, or Kuf) is the nineteenth letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number one hundred. 
In Hebrew, Qof means “ape,” “monkey” or “baboon,” while in Aramaic, it means “the back of the head” or “the eye of a needle.” Qof is the symbol of both the sacred Kedushah (“holiness”), and the profane Klipah (“husk,” metaphysical barriers between ourselves and the Light of Christ). It is the first letter in the word holy, Kadosh. The letter Qof represents the constant movement of the cycles of nature: changing seasons, monthly and yearly cycles. 
In Kabbalah, it is the extended left leg and head that create the difference between life and death. It can represent our ability to overcome our animalistic nature to emulate the image of the Creator, to grow in the Grace of Jesus Christ. Qof is the constant movement, circulation, and change needed to evolve and realize our true spiritual nature through teshuvah.

R

Rabbi

A Rabbi is both a spiritual leader and religious teacher in Israel. It is a calling of God in the Lower or Levitical Priesthood in the office of Teacher. 
See Book of the Law of the Lord 31:9, 33:21, Doctrines of the Saints 5d:3, 5f:29; 6b:13.

Raphael

Hebrew, “God has healed.” Also known as Raziel, Hebrew, “secret of God.” In Islam he is called Israfil, and it is understood that he is the unnamed angel of Quran 6:73, standing ready to announce the Day of Resurrection. 
Raphael is mentioned by name in the books of Enoch, Tobit, Remembrance, and it is believed that he is the angel mentioned in John 5:2-4. According to Doctrines of the Saints 17d:30 & 108b:11, he is Melchizedek. In art Raphael is often depicted holding a staff as it is said that he guards pilgrims on their journeys.

Raziel

Hebrew, “secret of God.” Also known as Raphael, who is Melchizedek. 
See Raphael.

Resh/200

Resh (or Reish) is the twentieth letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number two hundred. Resh means “head,” “leader” or “beginning.” Reish is a container. In Kabbalah, it can represent oneness, and Eternity of the Creator, referring to the secrets of the Keter, the Crown. Resh represents our infinite, exponential growth, the constant flow of energy, and change in life.

Resurrection

The first resurrection began with the resurrection of Jesus (Matthew 28:1-10). This was a physical resurrection, and not merely Jesus returning in the spirit (Luke 24:36-43). At that time others rose with Him (Matthew 27:52-53). Because of this, we too will live again (Romans 5:15; 3 Nephi 11:32 RAV, 26:4 OPV). We will be given bodies to match our souls (1 Corinthians 15, Doctrines of the Saints 42).

Right hand

Hebrew feminine noun. In Kabbalah the right hand is Mercy, in Mormon Kabbalah representing Jesus Christ. In 3 Moses 21:7, 13 it seems that is term may also refer to Moses, being a right hand of YHVH. In the Bible, the “right hand” is a statement of honor and status. Jesus Christ sits at the right hand of the Father, giving Him equal status in Hebrews 1:3, 12:2; 1 Peter 3:22; Acts 7:55-56. Similarly, the right-handed path refers to teshuvah, the reunion with the Creator, our return to Eden.

Rock of Israel

Hebrew, “Tzur Yisrael;” a concept in Judaism that alludes to God. 
See 2 Moses 32:9, 2 Samuel 23:2-4, Psalm 19:15.

Rod

In the scriptures a rod can be a shepherd's or walking staff, or a divining rod; a tool blessed and endowed with the power of God. 
See 1 Moses 42:4-15; 2 Moses 25:29; 3 Moses 4:2-17, 28 (Exodus 2-9, 17), 8:17-19, 29 (Exodus 7:10-11, 20), 9:6 (Exodus 8:6), 10:3 (Exodus 8:17), 14:11 (Exodus 9:23), 15:18 (Exodus 10:13), 20:17- 33 (Exodus 14:27-31), 22:6, 49:8 (Numbers 17:8), 50:13 (Numbers 20:9-11); 4 Moses 32:5, 22-40, 34:9-11, 41:36; 1 Nephi 5:133b RAV, 17:41a OPV; 2 Nephi 2:32 RAV, 3:17a OPV; Avahr 18:13-14.

Ruach

Hebrew, “breath,” symbolically the breath of spiritual life. 
See Ruach HaKodesh.

Ruach HaKodesh

Hebrew, הקודש רוח ,Ruach meaning “breath,” “wind,” or “spirit,” and HaKodesh meaning “the holy” or “the sacred.” This phrase can be translated as “The Holy Breath,” but is also translated as “The Glory of God” or “God’s Glory.” It is used to describe the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of God. Through the Holy Spirit we received God, and how God sends blessings to us. 
According to the Book of Remembrance 9:42-45, 28:30 The Holy Ghost is Michael, but this may be symbolic. 
Doctrines of the Saints 45e:5 states that the second Hai in YHVH represents the Holy Ghost. Also known as “The Breath” or “The Breath of Elohim.” 
It should be noted that based on Lectures on Faith 5:2n, the Holy Spirit is the mind shared between God the Father and Jesus, God the Son. Based on this, the Holy Spirit and the Holy Ghost may not be the same person. The Holy Ghost may be a male God while the Holy Spirit may be the Presence of God, the Mother—the bond that ties the Godhead together. The male Holy Ghost may be how God bestows to us, while the female Holy Spirit may be how God receives from us, the feminine aspect of Creation that draws the divine energy into the task of rectifying and elevating the created world. If so, then when we are in the Presence of God we are with the Mother, while when we receive from the Holy Ghost we are given gifts of the Spirit from the Father. 
See Shekinah.

S

The Sabbath of Chag HaAsif

Known today as Sukkot, this holy festival marks the end of the harvest and agricultural year in the area of Israel, and is a reminder to all of Israel of the Exodus and their travels in the wilderness.

The Sabbath of Passover

Also called Pesach, Passover is a major holy day celebrating the Israelites' exodus from Egypt and slavery. This holy day occurs on the 15th the Hebrew month Aviv in the spring. The Passover Seder, or the Feast of Unleavened Bread, is feast held on Passover night to begin the holy week. All leavened foods must be thrown out and Israelites do not eat anything with leaven for 7 days to remember their journey out of Egypt.

The Sabbath of the Seventh Day or Shabbat

a day set aside for rest and worship given in remembrance that God rested from creation on the seventh day or cycle. In early Christianity, the Sabbath was on Saturday, the seventh day, while Sunday became the eighth day of creation, the Lord's Day. This idea came from the resurrection of Jesus, with Sunday now being both the first and the last day. 
See 1 Moses 3:50; 3 Moses 23:1-16, 28:9-12, 33:17; 4 Moses 2, 3:12-16, 4:6, 5:20-21, 8:2-4; 5 Moses 1:16-21; Genesis 2:2–3; Exodus 31:13–17; Deuteronomy 5:12–15; Book of the Law of the Lord 1:13-26; Zenos 1:8; Mosiah 7:116-118 RAV, 13:16-19 OPV, 9:56 RAV, 18:23 OPV; Doctrines of the Saints 34, 38a:20, 93c:2-5; Book of Remembrance 3:73.

Sabbath of Zikhron Teru’ah

Hebrew, “Day of Shouting.” This day marks two weeks to prepare for Yom Kippur. It is sometimes called the day of judgment, and is an opportunity to enter teshuvah before the day of enthronement.

The Sabbath of Yom HaBikkurim or the Feast of Weeks or Shavuot

This week long sabbath occurs on the sixth day of the Hebrew month of Sivan (between May 15 and June 14 on the Gregorian calendar). Shavuot is Hebrew for “weeks.” This time is known to Christians as the time of Pentecost. 
See 3 Moses 33:18; 4 Moses 4:7, 5:22, 9:17-20; 5 Moses 14:10- 11, 17; Deuteronomy 8:8, 16:9-11; Isaiah 9:2; Jeremiah 5:24.

Samael

Hebrew, "venom of God," or "poison of God;" an accuser (Satan), seducer, and destroyer, he is seen as the angel of death in Judaism, and as Satan in Christianity. 
See Enoch 2:31-46, 6:20-22.

Samekh/60

Samekh (or Samech) is the 15th Letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number 60. Samekh represents protection, support, and memory, reminding us to lean upon, support, uphold the Torah of God. The outside of the letter, a circle, represents God as the Creator, it is Orr Makif; and within the circle his creation. 
God is ever present, supports and protecting that which he has made. Samekh teaches us ubuntu, to seek the good of the whole (altruism), not just one’s self (Ego). Wisdom tells us that our world is not contained in merely one vessel, but in all beings, this also teaching us Tikkun Olam. Samekh helps us clean ourselves of negativity and distortions created by Ego.

Saraph (singular), Seraphim (plural)

A class or a type of celestial or heavenly being, or angel, mentioned in the scriptures. Isaiah used this term to describe a type of six-winged being, either a man or a snake, that flies around the Throne of God crying “holy, holy, holy” (Isaiah 6:1–8). The Hebrew word “saraph” means “burning.” These may be the same angels from Revelation 4:8 that say, “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.” The only known way to repel these angels when they are sent against mankind is to make an image of a snake on a cross or staff and look at it. 
See 3 Moses 51:6-12; Numbers 21:6–8; Deuteronomy 8:15; 6:2–6, 14:29, 30:6; Helaman 3:47-48 RAV, 8:14-15 OPV; Revelation 4:4-8; Zenos 2:14-15.

Satan

“Adversary,” or “Accuser.” There is a figure known as ha-satan (“the satan”) that appears in the Hebrew Bible as a heavenly prosecutor, a member of the sons of God, under YHVH, who prosecutes people in the heavenly court and tests the loyalty of YHVH's followers. We presume this is a different accuser than the malevolent entity known as Lucifer who exists in opposition to God we read about in other parts of the scriptures. 
In the Book of Jubilees, YHVH grants Mastema authority over fallen angels to tempt humans to sin and then to punish them. In Zenos, Lucifer is called leviathan, the angel cast out of heaven that tries to tempt the earth.

Scarlet

Can refer to immorality and sin, but also the redeeming blood of Jesus Christ. It is seen as a symbol of royalty and of indulgence. In Kabbalah a scarlet bracelet is worn on the left hand to ward off evil. 
See 2 Moses 24:23, Genesis 38:28, Exodus 26:36, 2 Samuel 1:24, Proverbs 31:21, Song of Solomon 4:3, Isaiah 1:18, Zenos 3:7, Matthew 27:28, Revelation 17:3-4.

Seal of Moses or Miktabim of Moses

In 4 Moses 32:42 we are told that to dedicate a cloak, coat, or robe to YHVH a seal must be put on the inside of that item of clothing. Miktab is from the Arabic, “kataba,” and means “writing.” It is used in Exodus 32:16 and Deuteronomy 10:4 to say that God wrote upon the tablets. This idea of writing is translated here as “seal” because it represents a covenant. Just as wrote upon the tablets sealing His covenant with Israel, likewise one is writing on the item of clothing to covenant with God. 
The seal on the plates of brass pictured in the text reads “tsum” which means “fast,” and in to deny oneself something for God. The two letters are ancient forms of “Tsadi” and “Mem,” though Mem does not look like the known Paleo-Hebrew version. 
The seven levels to the right, representing the East, represent Elohim, God the Father or the Divine Masculine. The seven at the top, representing the North, represent Elohim, the Mother or Divine Feminine. The four levels to the left, representing the West, represent YHVH. The two at the bottom, representing the South, represent the Breath of God, or the Holy Spirit. Although there were no other letters carved into the plates of brass, David (the translator) could see “El Elyon” written from the top, right corner inward for the Father and Mother, “YHVH” at the bottom left, and the two letters רח (Resh and Chet) for Ruach, meaning “Breath” for the Holy Spirit. 
It may be that this is a “template” of sorts, and one would write in their own information on the seal. More revelation is needed.

Second Coming

The Second Coming or Second Advent or the Parousia, is a Christian, Islamic and Baha'i belief that Jesus will return again after his ascension to heaven about two thousand years ago. The scriptures are clear that no one knows the day or the hour that Jesus will return. To the Jews is event is seen as the first coming of the Messiah.

Seer

In the Bible the word seer occurs 28 times in the King James Version/ It is translated from two different Hebrew words: chozeh (2 Samuel 24:11; 2 Kings 17:13; 1 Chronicles 21:9; 25:5; 29:29; 2 Chronicles.19:2; 29:25, 30; 33:18, 19; 33:15; Isaiah 29:10; Amos 7:12; Micah 3:7) and roeh (1 Samuel 9:9, 11, 18, 19; 2 Samuel 15:27; 1 Chronicles 9:22; 26:28; 29:29; 2 Chronicles.16:7, 10; Isaiah 30:10). It is mentioned in the Book of Mormon 11 times (2 Nephi 2:10-11, 17, 25 Rav, 3:6-7, 11, 14 OPV, 2 Nephi 11:124 RAV, 27:6 OPV, Mosiah 5:74, 76-78 RAV, 8:13, 15-17 OPV, Mosiah 21:21 RAV, 28:16 OPV). 
Webster's Dictionary 1828 defines “seer” first as “One who sees; as a seer of visions.” And second as “A prophet; a person who foresees future events.” 1 Samuel 9:9 says: “Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.” The Book of Mosiah states: “And Ammon said that a seer is a revelator and a prophet also; and a gift which is greater can no man have, except he should possess the power of God, which no man can; yet a man may have great power given him from God. But a seer can know of things which have passed and also of things which are to come; and by them shall all things be revealed, or rather, shall secret things be made manifest, and hidden things shall come to light, and things which are not known shall be made known by them; and also, things shall be made known by them which otherwise could not be known” (Mosiah 5:77-80 RAV, 8:16-17 OPV). 
See 1 Moses 1:3,6:22,

Seer Stone

A seer stone is a rock used for divination. Joseph Smith Jr. owned a minimum of two seer stones. He began using a seer stone as early as at least 1819. It was common at that time to use seer stones in attempts to gain revelations from God. 
They were also used in attempts to find buried treasure. 
Both Joseph Smith Sr. and Jr. were known to use seer stones and had reputations for doing so. Some say they did so successfully, others claim they were conning people out of money. Joseph Smith Jr. would place a seer stone in a white stovepipe hat, then put his face in the hat to block the light to “see” or divine information as a form of revelation from God. 
Seer stones were used for “scrying,” a form of divination. 
Scrying was used by Biblical figures such as Joseph of Egypt (Genesis 44:1-5), Miriam (see Sefer HaAggadah), the sister of Moses, and the High Priests that wore the Urim and Thummim. 
See Urim and Thummim.

Segula/segullah

Hebrew feminine noun, “remedy,” “protection,” or “treasured possession.” In Kabbalah, a segula is a protective charm or ritual. It is a charm of miracles that supersedes logic. In Exodus 19:5 and Deuteronomy 7:6 God refers to Israel as His segula (treasure). 
See 3 Moses 5:25, Malachi 3:17.

Shavuot

See The Sabbath of Yom HaBikkurim.

Shabbat/Sabbath

Hebrew תבש” ,to cease” or “to turn over;” “to rest” or “to allow a task to move forward through other means.” In the Abrahamic religions, the Sabbath of the seventh day is the day set aside for rest from certain types of work/labor to allow time for worship, and can be Saturday or Sunday. There are other holidays or Sabbaths, including the new moon (Rosh Chodesh), Passover and Matzot, Yom Teruah, Yom Teru'ah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. 
See 4 Moses 2, Doctrines of the Saints 34:12-13.

Shalom

Hebrew, “peace.” This term refers to a special type of completeness or ease that can only be described as the peace of God. It is a wholeness one may only gain through Christ. 
See Doctrines of the Saints 2e:15

Shekinah

Hebrew, שכינה” .The Presence,” or “the dwelling place of God.” A term used to describe the Divine Feminine or Heavenly Mother, the Queen of Heaven or the Sabbath Bride. Through the Divine Feminine God receives from us, our prayers and supplication. Doctrines of the Saints 45e:5 states that the first Hai in YHVH represents the “the Mother and the very Presence of God,” also known as the Hai. 
See Melchizedek 6:19; Zenos 2:23, 3:21-23, 4:8-14, 5:1, 6:16- 18, 7:19-21, 9:8-14, 10:39, 1 Moses 1:3; 6:22, 32:17-19, 39:37, 46:9-10, 47:13; 2 Moses 25:20; 3 Moses 6:19,

Shekinah of the Congregation

The Congregation when the Holy Spirit falls upon the Saints. 
See 3 Moses 27:7, 50:8; 4 Moses 38:7; Zenos 11:83-89, 12:47; 1 Nephi 3:46-58 RAV, 11:8-18 OPV; Matthew 18:20, Acts 2:1-4.

Sheol

Hebrew, ולֹשא ,feminine noun meaning “grave” or “sepulcher.” Originally this term was just a grave but became to be known as the afterlife, the place to which all of the dead go. While some today see this term to mean “hell,” it would not have had this meaning in Lehi's time or the time when the plates of brass were written.

Shevat

The eleventh month on the Hebrew calendar, the fifth civil month today. It is known for its heavy rains. Shevat occurs in January–February on the Gregorian calendar.

Shin (Aleph-bet)

See Sin (letter).

Shiloh

Hebrew: “He who is,” another way of saying “I AM THAT I AM,” a reference to the Messiah, Jesus Christ. 
See 2 Moses 24:11, 35:6; John 8:24-58.

Signs and tokens

Hebrew, “oth” (sigh or token) and “arubbah” (token or pledge). Book of Remembrance 13:31 reads, “open the door of the house of God with the hand and bind the signs and tokens by the means of it.” Later, in Chapter 14 we read, “this I did give them that they might worship me and through me the Father in Spirit and in Truth, and that through me they might return to the presence of God; and by this did that which they had made become that which they sought; even an apron of the holy priesthood that both did have access to, and with this the first signs and tokens of that priesthood” (vs 43-44). 
The sign is the hand gesture or mudra given in the Priesthood endowments used for meditation to gain access to the Holy Spirit. The tokens then are the various handshakes given with their names to those in the same priesthood quorums. With these signs and tokens men and women of the priesthood may worship together in their ministry and unlock keys for use in the Lord's labors.

Sin

Sin is generally defined as “an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law” (https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/ sin). The Hebrew word translated to “sin” in the Tanakh or Old Testament however is “chata’ah” (חטאה .(Chata’ah comes from the root word “chet” (חטא (which means to “miss the mark.” To the ancient Israelites, this meant to neglect one’s obligation, whether to man or to God. 
Chata’ah is a feminine noun, meaning that it describes or represents our will to receive. When we sin, we take into ourselves a desire that is off the path to God. We, in a sense, become the Biblical Eve. In the garden of Eden, Eve wanted to have all God had to offer, even that which she was forbidden (Genesis 2:16-17, 3:1-6; Book of Remembrance 4:11-13, 7:11-24). Her sin wasn’t eating the fruit, but disregarding what God had instructed. She missed the mark by partaking the fruit of the tree before it was time (Book of Remembrance 9:42-44, Happiness Letter 1:16-17). She didn’t wait for God’s time or do it for God. She took it for herself. 
Understanding the true Hebrew word, chata’ah, we gain a new perspective of “sin.” Sin isn’t a blemish; it is human error. It is us seeking our own desires rather than seeking what God desires for us. Fortunately, there is a remedy, a way back onto the path of teshuvah. Sin/chata’ah can be corrected by strengthening our relationship with God. Seeking God is what makes us Israel and puts and keeps us on that path of teshuvah. We seek forgiveness and improve our behavior as we move forward in Christ. He is the potter, and we are the clay. 
See Teshuvah.

Sin (letter) or Shin/300

This letter of the Hebrew Aleph-bet represents the Holy Spirit's fire and transformative abilities; it's three branches look like flames. There are three pillars of the tree of life, each reaching upwards, like flames. They purify and changing us as we grow in Christ's grace.

Sin offering

Literally “purification offering.” A sacrificial offering described as fine flour or certain animals. Today the sin offering is a broken heart and contrite spirit through the sacraments of baptism and communion. 
See 4 Moses 25.

Sivan

The third month on the Hebrew calendar, the ninth civil month today. It is known as the month that God gave the Torah to the Moses at Mount Sinai. Sivan occurs in May–June on the Gregorian calendar.

Shin

See Sin (letter)

So mote it be

See Amen. 
Son of Man, Son of Adam, Son of Mankind, or Like man/ Adam: Hebrew, “Ben Adam.” This term is used in a variety of ways throughout the scriptures. In the Book of Ezekiel son of Adam (or son of mankind) is used to address Ezekiel, or to show that mankind is lower than YHVH Elohim and the angels (4 Moses 53:36). 
In the Book of Daniel and the Revelation of John (Daniel 7:13-14, Revelation 1:13, 14:14) it is a name for Jesus Christ, coming to signal the end of time and the beginning of the judgement of God. This idea of the Son of Man being Jesus Christ appears in the plates of brass as well with Satan pretending to be holy in 1 Moses 1:22, and Abram seeing Jesus in 1 Moses 26:20. 
See Melchizedek 2:22, 36-27, 31, 7:2-4; 1 Moses 34:14, 37:24; 2 Moses 35:2; Zenos 1:32, 2:25-26, 7:1, 10:29; Isaiah 51:12b (2 Nephi 5:93 RAV, 8:12b OPV); Doctrines of the Saints 17:6, 10b:6, 12c:60-62, 12d:23; 13a:72; 26c:48; 37:6; 1 Alexei 7:3.

Sorcerer

Hebrew, “kashaph;” those that practice magick or priestcraft. 
See Doctrines of the Saints 106:1-35.

Soul

Hebrew, “nephesh,” meaning “a soul,” “living being,” “life,” “self,” “person,” “desire,” “passion,” “appetite,” or “emotion.” Modern translation of the Hebrew term “nephesh” is rendered to mean a sentient creation of God. However, in Hebrew Genesis 2:7 does not state that Adam is or was given a nephesh, but that Adam became a living nephesh. 
While all living creatures have a rûach (Hebrew for spirit), the soul or nephesh is “created” when one is born again. This is why we are “born,” as the soul is then created. Before this we are first intelligence, second spirit, and third flesh. Being born again gives birth to a new soul within us.

Spirit of YHVH

In 1 Moses, while Adam and Eve are upon the earth, the Ruach HaKodesh, or Spirit of God is identified at the Spirit of YHVH. This may be the pre-mortal Jesus Christ, or another name for the Holy Spirit, or the angel of YHVH. We do not know at this point. It may be reasoned that if Adam is Michel, and Michel is the Holy Spirit then the Holy Spirit could not be on the earth while Adam lived in the flesh, however this is conjecture. 
The Spirit of YHVH may also merely be another term for the Holy Spirit. In 1 Nephi 3:38 RAV, 11:1b Nephi is “caught away in the Spirit of the Lord... into an exceeding high mountain.” This appears to be a vision and the being with him the Holy Spirit. This indicates that this term may be used both for the 
pre-mortal Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. At other times the Spirit of YHVH seems to be the light of Christ, such as when the Holy Spirit falls upon the Nephites (Mosiah 2:5 RAV, 4:3a OPV). 
See 1 Moses 6:22-24, 9:16; 2 Moses 1:2; Isaiah 11:2 (2 Nephi 9:117 RAV, 21:2 OPV); 1 Nephi 1:11a RAV, 1:12 OPV, 2:21-25 RAV, 7:14-15b OPV, 3:37-256 RAV, 11-14 OPV; Mosiah 3:3 RAV, 5:2b OPV; see also Ruach HaKodesh, Shekinah.

Spiritual Death

Spiritual death is separation from God. It is also described in the scriptures as being damned. This is caused by sin and can be corrected through teshuvah. Only perdition die the permanent spiritual death.

Sukkot

See Sabbath of Chag HaAsif.

Sword

Hebrew, “tool,” “sword.” In 3 and 4 Moses this term takes on a spiritual meaning. 
See Chereb.

T

Tabernacle

Hebrew, “mishkan,” “residence” or “dwelling place.” known as the Tent of the Congregation, Tent of Meeting, Tabernacle of Testimony, or Tabernacle of Witness. The Tabernacle was a portable was a temple to and an earthly house of YHVH. It was used by the Israelites from the Exodus until their conquest of Canaan. T 
The Tabernacle had an inner sanctuary called the Holy of Holies that was created by a veil suspended by four pillars. This sanctuary housed the Ark of the Covenant. It also had an outer sanctuary called the Holy Place which contained a gold lampstand, the north side had a table for the showbread, the south side housed the Menorah, holding seven oil lamps to give light, and on the west side, before the veil, was a golden altar for burning incense. 
The Tabernacle was constructed of 4 woven layers of curtains and 48 15-foot wood boards that were overlaid with gold, held in place by bars and silver sockets. It was furnished with items of value taken from Egypt. The Tabernacle was set up outside the camp so the people could direct their worship toward it. 
See 3 Moses 37; Exodus 25-31, 25-40

Tammuz

The fourth month on the Hebrew calendar, the tenth civil month today. According to legend, Noah sent out a dove on the 17th of Tammuz to see if the flood waters had calmed, and the bird returned. Tammuz was also in this month that Moses broke the first tablets of covenant when he discovered the Israelites worshipping a golden calf. Tammuz occurs in June– July on the Gregorian calendar.

Tav/400

Tav (or Taw, or Taf) is the twenty second and final letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies 400. Tav is the last letter of emet, Hebrew for “truth.” The other letters of the word, Aleph, and Memis are the first and middle letter. Thus, truth is all encompassing, “from aleph to tav” or “from beginning to end.” 
As the symbol of truth, perfection, and completion, it is a mark, a sign, an omen, or a seal. It represents Tikkun Olam, the restoration of all things or repair of the world on a grand level. More personally, it is teshuvah; a return to the essence and purpose of one’s life. 
In Christ Tav represents completion, growth in Grace. 
We must reach the end of the old before beginning again, or being born again, with the Oneness of Aleph, this is the cycle of teshuvah. Tav is the final letter of Beresheet, “In the Beginning”, the first word of the Torah. This shows us that God had the end planned from the beginning. 
The Creation set in motion all of existence that all may reach their final state of perfection, their true selves. This is after all the plan, to reach the fulfillment of creation. Without the beginning, Aleph, we have met, Hebrew for “dead.”

Teshuvah

(תשובה) “return,” usually translated as “repentance,” “redemption,” or “grace.”

Tet/9

Tet (or Ṭeth or Teith) is the ninth letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number nine (the number of man), or 9,000 if followed by an apostrophe. Teth literally means “basket” or “nest.” It is the symbol of the good in God’s creation. 
Dealing with purity and impurity, Tet teaches us to choose the light. More than this, it also helps us see the hidden good to be found when what we perceive to be “bad things” happen. 
Tet’s essence is feminine; representing femininity and pregnancy, as full-term pregnancy requires nine months. It reminds us of Chesed, the kindness and mercy in God’s creation (1 Nephi 3:40-41, 46-64 RAV,11:3-4, 8-22 OPV). Everything is eternal, thanks to Christ’s atonement nothing has to be lost. 
Thus, Tet is both the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil, and it is the fruit of the Tree of Life. By knowing good from evil we may separate the light from the darkness. By choosing the light, Christ cleans and purifies us, erasing bad deeds that were caused by our slavery to Ego. Tet allows for teshuvah.

Tevet

The tenth month on the Hebrew calendar, which is the fourth civil month today. It is known as the muddy month. 
Tevet occurs in December–January on the Gregorian calendar.

Tevilah

Hebrew, “washing/baptism.” A ritual washing, full body immersion in “living water” for ablution, similar to the Christian baptism. The Torah requires washing in water, full immersion, as a means of purification in 4 Moses 19:2 and Leviticus 15:13. Because we are temples of God, we wash our bodies to be worthy of the Holy Spirit. See Zenos 9:15-16.

The Thirteen Attributes of Mercy

Shelosh-‘Esreh Middot HaRakhamim

The thirteen attributes of mercy are alluded to a number of times in the Bible. Found in 3 Moses 32:13-15, and Exodus 34:6-7. According to Kabbalah and Judaism, they tell us how God governs the world. 
1. יהוה YHVH: compassion before and after a person sins 
2. יהוה YHVH: mighty in compassion to give all creatures according to their needs 
3. אל El: God is the ruler over all, God’s mercy sometimes surpasses His own words 
4. וםּרח Rachum: merciful: that mankind may not be distressed 
5. וןּוחנ VeḤanun: gracious: if mankind is already in distress 
6. םּיפא ִארך Erekh Appayim: slow to anger 
7. חסד-ורב VeRav Hesed: plenteous in goodness/kindness 
8. ואמת VeEmet: plenteous in truth 
9. לאלפים חסד נצר Notzer Hesed Laalafim: keeping mercy/ kindness unto thousands 
10. עון נשא ׂNoseh Avon: forgiving iniquity 
11. ופשע VaFeshah: forgiving transgression 
12. הּוחטא VeḤata’ah: forgiving sin 
13. ונקה VeNakeh: acquitting or cleansing 
We see these attributes mentioned throughout the scriptures. The idea here is that: 
1. God loves us knowing we will sin, knowing our flawed nature. 
2. God still loves us after we have sinned, He prepared teshuvah knowing that we would fall away and so made a way to return. 
3. God is merciful beyond our human comprehension. 
4. God is merciful, so we shouldn’t over stress about our flaws, but put our faith in Him. 
5. God is good to us, even when we are underserving. 
6. God gives us time to see the error of our ways and come home. 
7. God gives us greater blessings than we deserve. 
8. God never goes back on His word; God keeps all of His promises. 
9. God remembers our good deeds and tips the scales in our favor thanks to the mercy of Christ’s Grace. 
10. God forgives us, even when we openly rebel against Him, if we will return to Him. 
11. God understands that we will unknowingly break His Laws and forgives us of this also. 
12. God will always forgive us, He longs for our return home (think of the story of the prodigal son, see Luke 15:11–32). 
13. God will wash away our sins, we will be clean as if they never happened; however, if we do not repent there will be consequences. 
See 3 Moses 32:13-15, Exodus 34:6-7, Numbers 14:18, Joel 2:13, Jonah 4:2, Micah 7:18, Nahum 1:3, Psalms 86:15, 103:8, 145:8, and Nehemiah 9:17.

Tif’eret

Hebrew, “Beauty.” Tif’eret is the bosom where we feel the Holy Spirit and where the Light of Christ overflows from our kli to fill the world. It occupies a place on the middle pillar of the Tree of Life, as it is a lower reflection of Keter. Tif’eret is a unique Sephirot as it is connected to all of the other Sephirot, with the exception of Malkuth. It is tied to all the subjective paths of the unconscious. It is the Philosopher’s Stone, the restoration of all things, containing the transmutative properties. When we chose good, it allows God’s light to pour from us, changing us and the world. When we choose evil it pollutes us, there by polluting the world. 
Tif’eret represents the sun, it takes a central place in the Tree of Life just as the sun is at the center of the solar system. It is not the center of the universe, yet it still gives light and life. Like man, it did not create itself. Tif’eret can be seen as a metaphor for mankind’s role in the creation.

Tikkun ha-olam

More commonly “tikkun olam,” meaning “for the sake of repairing the world.” The term, “tikkun olam,” refers to the end of the seventh day of creation, the time when the Divine light that was shattered and scattered into “broken shards,” these “shards” being a basis for the material world, coming back together, sealed as one in and by the Creator’s power. This appears to be the very definition of “the end of days,” which some call the eighth day of creation, the day Jesus Christ rose from the grave.

Tishrei

See Ethanim.

Token

A Hebrew feminine noun, representing the will to receive. A token is also a sign; something intended to represent or indicate something else. For example, the rainbow (1 Moses 13:42-43, Genesis 9:12-13) or the blood on the doors to ward off the angel of death (4 Moses 11-13, Exodus 12:13). Signs and tokens are also used in the Endowment rituals (1 Moses 27:41, 2 Moses 8:44, Book of Remembrance 14-23).

Torah

Hebrew, “Instructions,” “Teachings,” or “Law.” The Jewish Torah would be the 5 books of Moses found in the Christian Old Testament: 
• Genesis 
• Exodus 
• Leviticus 
• Numbers 
• Deuteronomy 
Coming from the nation of Judea, the Jewish Torah appears to be a combination of the Torah of Judah and the Torah of Levi. 
The Torah from the plates of brass (te Stick of Ephraim) is both similar to that found in the Old Testament, yet also unique. With the exception of the fifth book, they did not have titles in the traditional sense, or chapters but were broken up by text. Listed below are their “titles” from the plates along with their inspired titles: 
• 1 Sefer Moses (The Book of Beginnings): The Book of Moses, The Word of YHVH given us by His servant Moses, who freed Israel from her bondage of doubt and disbelief 
• 2 Sefer Moses (The Book of Joseph): The Book of Moses, The record of our father, Joseph, son of Jacob and Rachel, savior of Israel, as written by the hand of Moses 
• 3 Sefer Moses (The Book of Moses): The Book of Moses, The Record of Moses, savior of Israel; the exodus of Israel from the world, and the Marriage Covenant of Israel with YHVH, as written by the hand of Moses 
• 4 Sefer Moses: The teachings of Moses and Zipporah, as given them by YHVH in Egypt and upon the Mount of Strength 
• The Book of Ha’Torah (5 Sefer Moses): Sefer Ha’Torah, The Words which Moses spoke unto all Israel in the wilderness 
In addition, there is also the Book of the Law of the Lord, a modern translation of the essence of the Torah of Judah. This book was translated by James Strang from 18 loose plates, according to witnesses. The text contains selections pertaining to running a church and kingdom here upon the earth. The Book of the Law of the Lord may be found in Doctrines of the Saints. 
These books, the Jewish Torah, the Stick of Ephraim, and the sections of the Torah of Judah, may also be studied with the Inspired Translation of the Bible (IV), also known as the Joseph Smith Translation (JST).

Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil

Tree of Knowledge

In Kabbalah, the sin of eating from the Tree of Knowledge brought the mixture of good and evil into the world. We now must separate the light (good) from the darkness (evil) inside each of us. Once the evil is separated from holiness through teshuvah, the Shechinah, or the Presence of God, can come back down to earth, where the sin of the Tree had caused Her to depart, as described in the Visions and Parables of Zenos. Knowing good from evil gives us true free agency, the wisdom from the Divine Feminine, the Light of Christ, to choose for ourselves. 
See 1 Moses 4:16, 5; Melchizedek 3-9; Genesis 2:9, 3; Visions and Parables of Zenos; 2 Nephi 1:94-121 RAV, 2:14-27 OPV.

Tree of Life

After Adam and Eve disobeyed God, eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they were driven out of the Garden of Eden, leaving behind the tree of life, representing sin separating us from God. To prevent their access to this tree, Cherubim with a flaming sword were placed at the east of the garden as guards. This tree represents En Sof, or the Tree holding the Sefirot that was in the Garden of Eden and seen by Lehi and Nephi in vision, representing the Divine Feminine. 
See 1 Moses 4:16, 5:45, 48; Melchizedek 2:10; Genesis 2:9, 3:22-24; Zenos 2:16, 3:40, 9:5-14; 1 Nephi 3:46-53, RAV, 11:8-13 18g:20; Book of Remembrance 5:32, 46.

Tsavah

Hebrew, “invite,” or “instruct explicitly;” “to lay charge upon,” “give charge to,” “command,” or “order.”

Tsohar

Hebrew, a precious stone or orb that glows in the dark. 
See Ether 1:60-68 RAV, 3:1-6a OPV.

Tunic

Hebrew, “kuttoneth.” In the Garden of Eden God gave Adam and Eve tunics, kuttoneth, to wear (1 Moses 5:43, Genesis 3:21). This is the same term used in Exodus 28:2 when God commands that the Levites wear holy garments. In the Book of Remembrance 12:3 we see that these were the Garments of the Holy Priesthood. These garments were passed down to Noah and Na’amah, taken by Ham (1 Moses 14:4-16). Later, Esau took them back, giving them to Jacob (1 Moses 36:25-34). Then Jacob makes new garments, likely based on the orginal for his son, Joseph (2 Moses 2:11, see Coat of many colors). From the text we see that this tunic had symbols on it and went past the knees (4 Moses 32:1- 21, Book of Remembrance 14:28-30).

Tzadi/90

(or Tsadeh or Tsadde) 18th Hebrew Letter is the eighteenth letter of the the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifys the number ninety. Tzadi represents the Tsaddik, one who is righteous, strives to be true, loving justice and fairness, straight and fully honest. 
Tsadde represents the idea that the world is broken, and every person must face their own evil and learn to restore it through the Grace of Jesus. Humility and righteousness are two of the defining traits of Tzadi. It signifies the Essence of the Creator, guiding us and dwelling within the one who is humble as the Holy Spirit.

Tzadik Yachad

“the righteous one set apart to unite my people.” Used when a prophet or leader is being called a Messiah, an anointed one. 
See 1 Moses 2:21, 9:44, 10:13, 14:26, 19:16, 3:9, 2 Moses 2:8, 15:28, and 15:37.

Tzara’at

A crippling disease that reduced people to a state of paralysis. It is traditionally translated into English as "leprosy" because the authors of the Septuagint translated the term into the Greek lepra (λέπρα), or "lepros." However, tzara'at is not a normal, scientifically understood disease, but a form of spiritual discipline. It comes when Israel is wicked and does away when they repent. 
See 3 Moses 45:12-17, 4 Moses 47-48, 5 Moses 25:11, Leviticus 13- 14, Deuteronomy 24:8.

Tzitzit

Hebrew, "fringe." knotted ritual fringes, or tassels, worn in antiquity by Israelites. They are typically white strings with a blue thread to represent that Israel is a kingdom of priests and priestesses. The purposes of this instruction is that of a daily reminder to bring God's love into action. The white thread may represent purity, as we are made pure by God's grace. The blue likely representing the sapphire tablets, the stone God wrote the Law upon. However, the Book of Remembrance states that the white represents a "white [seer] stone" and "the sea of wisdom (Book of Remembrance 31:15). 
See 4 Moses 7:23-26, 22:14, 32:7; 5 Moses 17:21-26, 23:12; Numbers 15:37-41; Deuteronomy 22:12; Book of Remembrance 26:11; Doctrines of the Saints 114:30, 124:9-10; Chesed, Yesod.

U

Ubuntu

Ubuntu is a Nguni Bantu term translated as “humanity towards others.” A broader understanding of the term would be “the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity,” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_philosophy). In Mormon Kabalistic ideology it’s Zion: “I am because we are.” 
We all share the same creator, and are all the children of God, as we learn in the first book of Genesis. This bond is universal and connects all of us. The greater we understand this principle, as taught in Kabbalah, the greater we understand ubuntu and our creator.

Unclean

Hebrew, (טמא), “tame.” In both the Torah of Judea (Judah, Benjamin, and Levi) and in the Torah of Lehi (Joseph), some animals are explicitly named as pure or impure, while others are classified by other criteria. Unclean animals can range from weak, sickly, or sick animals to animals sacrificed, made for, or given to foreign gods. 
In Judaism the concept of “impure animals” plays a prominent role in dietary requirements as a part of Jewish law that specifies which foods are allowed (kosher) or forbidden to eat. These laws are based upon the Books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy of the Torah (the Christian Old Testament). 
Rabbinical commentaries like the Talmud have added to these laws over time to help the Jewish people better obey the commandments of God as they understand them. 
The Hebrew term “tame,” or in English “unclean,” typically refers to anything that can make people sick, mostly physically but sometimes spiritually. This idea seems to be more of a temporal health code than spiritual law, similar to the Word of Wisdom. 
See 5 Moses 8:17, & chapter 11; Leviticus 11; Deuteronomy 12:15, & chapter 14; Matthew 15:10-11; Mark 7:1-5, 14-19; Acts 10:9- 16.

Uriel

See Ariel.

Urim and Thummim

Hebrew, “Lights and Perfections.” A holy or sacred device for divination, cleromancy, and divining oracles. They were used by the High Priest and High Priestesses to answer a question or reveal the will of God. Some scholars believe that this refers to two objects used to answer yes or no questions. 
The meaning of these terms is uncertain, possibly Urim from the root word “Lights” and Thummim from the root “Innocents,” generally taken to mean “Perfections.” The terms together may also mean “revelation and truth.” The Urim and Thummim are mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as a part of the breastplate worn by the High Priest. In the plates of brass, they are also worn by the High Priestesses. They were believed to be used for divination and cleromancy. 
The urim and thummim of Abraham and of the Nephites may not be the same type of urim and thummim used by the Levite Priests and Priestesses. The Urim and Thummim used to divine the translation of the lost 116 pages of Book of Lehi were not identical to the Urim and Thummim of the Old Testament. According to page 101 of Lucy Mack Smith, mother or Joseph Smith Jr.’s 1853 “Biographical sketches of Joseph Smith the prophet, and his progenitors for many generations” they were “two smooth three-cornered diamonds.” These “diamonds” were said to have been placed in silver bows that were fastened to a breastplate. 
In the Latter Day Saint movement, Urim and Thummim may also refer to a seer stone, something similar to the rock Joseph Smith Jr. placed in a hat to translate the Book of Mormon. The “Urim and Thummim” actually used to divine the translation of the Book of Mormon available to readers today was given to Joseph Smith Jr. by placing his brown seer stone into a hat. This is clearly different from the bow attaching glasses to a chest plate kept with the gold plates and what is described in the Old Testament and the plates of brass. 
See 1 Moses 23:5-8, 26:21; 3 Moses 38:34, 57:8; 4 Moses 30:8; Exodus 28:30; Leviticus 8:8; Numbers 27:21; Deuteronomy 33:8; Melchizedek 6:3-4; Zenos 2:8, 6:8; Ezra 2:63; Mosiah 5:72-75, 8:13 OPV; Ether 1:88-93 RAV, 3:23-28 OPV; Avahr 7:34, 24:28, 39:2, Seer Stone.

V

Vav/6

Vav (or waw, or wav, or vaw) is the sixth letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number 6, or 6,000 when referring to years. Vav is shaped like a hook. It has the power to unite everything that is separated in creation. It represents kav, Hebrew for “window.” It connects God’s perfection to the created world. God guides existence step by step. Within us, this refers to the guidance to, eventually, the perfect unity to God through Christ. It is a window through which we may see all God has revealed. Through the window of Vav we gain the direct light of God, given to us through Christ, filling us with the Holy Spirit. 
Vav contains the power to connect the heavens and earth. This is Jacob’s ladder, rooted in earth, extended into the heavens. It is the priesthood, the power of God, sent from above down to mankind, God’s created beings. It represents the six days of the creation of the world, and thus the six stages of teshuvah. Vav also reminds us of the six physical dimensions: right to left, front to back, up to down. It can teach us the state of constant presence needed to connect our own heaven and earth (physical and spiritual aspects.

Veil of the Testimony

A curtain separating the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies inside the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and in later temples. This veil was an ornate object, woven from fine linen and blue, purple, and scarlet yarns. Figures of cherubim were embroidered on it by skilled craftsmen to represent protecting the throne of God. 
This veil represents the division between God and mankind. When Jesus died upon the cross, the veil in the temple in Jerusalem was torn from top to bottom. When Jesus died for us the barrier between God and mankind was destroyed in Jesus. Any veils used today are to represent our separation from God until we accept Jesus as the Christ through our sacrifice of a broken heart and contrite spirit.

Vet

See Bet.

The Voice

Hebrew masculine noun, typically referring to the Holy Spirit. 
See 1 Kings 19:11-13; 1 Nephi 5:10 RAV, 16:9OPB; Luke 12:12; Doctrines of the Saints 26c:40; Ruach HaKodesh.

Wise men

Hebrew, “chakam;” experts, sages, or skilled men.

X

X

In the Greek, the word “Christ” is Χριστός. Because the first letter looks like an English X, the X has been used as an abbreviation or symbol for Christ from very early on in Christianity.

“The Only Begotten” or “Only Legitimate one who unites us.” A reference or title for Jesus Christ.

Yah

From Yod Hei (YH, Hebrew יה ,(Yah representing The Creator or the Divine Masculine (Heavenly Father), and Hai the revelation, the Divine Feminine (Heavenly Mother).

Yashar-El

Israel; Hebrew, “straight [to] God.” Of Israel, Baal HaSulam said, “Israel is he who strains himself to return to his root” (A Sage’s Fruit, Letters, Letter no. 17). The Lord has said: 
“Who is the House of Israel? Who are my Covenant Peoples? And behold, I say unto thee that these are the people of Israel: these are those of Yashar-El, the path Straight to God; these are those that shall seek my face, and turn not from me; these are they that shall taste the fruit of the Tree of Life, and it shall taste sweet, and these shall not turn away; these are they who shall love the Lord their God with all their hearts, minds, and strength, and this they shall show by their love for their fellow man, and their care for the Earth and her creatures; these are they that shall do my works, and shall bring to pass the oneness of the Heavens and the Earth; these are they that to whom I shall say: Well done, my good and faithful servants.” -Doctrines of the Saints 2g:20-26 
See Israel.

Yesod

Hebrew, “Foundation.” Yesod is the foundation God has built the world upon. Because of this, it serves as a transmitter between worlds; the sephirot above, and the mundane reality below. It is placed in the center of the Tree, light of the upper sephirot gather in Yesod and are channeled to Malkuth below through one’s third eye. 
Yesod is associated with the sexual organs, the part of the body given the power of creation. While the floods drown in Noah’s time, so too did they bring life back into the world. Yesod collects the vital forces of the sephirot above, and transmits them to the world below. Though this, the earth is able to interact with the divine. 
See Book of Remembrance 29:12, 30:28-30.

YHVH

Hebrew, יהוה .Also known as the Tetragrammaton, translated as Yahweh, Jehovah, Yehovah, or Lord.

YHVH Elohim

YHVH is also known as the Tetragrammaton, translated as Yahweh, Jehovah, Yehovah, or LORD. Elohim translates to “gods” and is both male and female: “El,” Hebrew for “god” is masculine, while “Eloh” is Hebrew for goddess, and “im” is masculine. Elohim may be male and female as a word with a feminine singular and a masculine plural. YHVH Elohim is typically translated as “the LORD God,” and may denote that YHVH is a part of the Elohim collective “One God.”

Yod/10

Yod (also spelled yud, yodh, jod, or jodh) is the tenth letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number 10. Yod represents or is a name for God as the creator. It represents the point from which all of creation emerges. It reminds us of the unity within multiplicity. Yod is the foundation, the hidden spark of the divine which causes everything to be. The holy name, YHVY (Yahveh), starts with Yod. It is small in size, compared to the other letters of the aleph-bet, signifying the greatness of Yodt. According to traditional Kabbalah, all of creation came forth from a single point. Thus, Yof represents God’s infinite presence within the finite world. 
We see Yod as a single point, yet it represents 10. This teaches us the unity within multiplicity. This is particularly true in light of the 10 sephirot of the Tree of Life; one tree comprised of ten parts. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus says: “One jot shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled” (Matthew 5:18). The jot he is speaking of refers to the letter Yud.

Yom HaBikkurim

See Sabbath of Yom HaBikkurim.

Z

Zadkiel

Hebrew, “Tzadiqiel,” “Righteousness of God” or “Grace of God.” Rabbinical tradition considers him to be the angel of mercy. Some Rabbinical traditions hold that Zadkiel is the angel of YHVH. 4 Moses states that he was “from the first day of creation” (4 Moses 30:7). Zenos 9 implies that he is John the Baptist and opened the sixth seal at the death of Jesus.

Zayin/7

Zayin (or zain, or zayn, or zay) is the seventh letter the Hebrew Alphabet. It signifies the number seven, or 7,000 in years. Shaped like a sword, Zayin is a paradoxical word. It means “sword,” or “weapon,” yet is derived from a root word meaning “nourishment,” or “substance.” This seemingly contradictory riddle is solved, however, as we are nourished by the sword of truth found within the Word of God (Ephesians 6:17). This allows Zayin to be the symbol of spirit, sustenance, and struggle. 
Representing the seventh day, the Sabbath, Zayin brings us rest and spirituality, the completion of teshuvah, the 7 days of our spiritual creation. Signifying both the six days and six directions of physical reality, it also adds a unique seventh principle; the spirit within that activates everything physical. Thus Zayin represents the source of all movement; the impregnating principle, bringing to life all creation. Yet is is also the source of rest. 
Zayin is drawn with a crown, representing the direct light of the Creator coming down to the physical world. Zayin represents the struggle between opposites, the struggle for sustenance, the struggle for existence. It reminds us of the very struggle between our worldly nature, and the God created spirits within as we reject worldliness (Egoism) for Godliness (altruism). It helps us find the balance needed to harmonize between the natural and the spiritual. It helps us understand the need for a day of rest after six days of working on teshuvah. and the creation within.

Zion

Hebrew, “Tsiyyon” or “Tzion,” meaning “marking.” It is also a transliteration of Sion. In Jewish law, if something is found with identifiable makings, that object must be returned to the owner. This would indicate that we, as the Church, belong to God by our marking as Zion, from the Mother through the Son. 
In Arabic, Zion means “defend.” Zion is used as a name for Jerusalem (2 Samuel 5:7). In Jerusalem there is also a mountain, Mount Zion. In Kabbalah Zion is the spiritual point from which reality emerges. This Zion is located in the Holy of Holies, the connection point between God, the Creator, and mankind, the creation. 
Therefore, Zion is also Eden, as the Holy of Holies represents the garden of Eden. 
In the Latter Day Saint movement Zion is God's peaceful and mankind's ideal society. Because of this, the term is most often used to an idea, as the future gathering place or city of the Saints. 
See 1 Moses 9:49 & 64, 13:38-39, 16:9; 2 Moses 27:13-14; Psalms 50:2 Isaiah 2:3, 51:1, 52:8; 1 Nephi 3:187 RAV, 13:37a OPV; Mosiah 8:67 RAV. 15:29 OPV; 3 Nephi 7:43b RAV, 16:18 OPV, 9:86 RAV, 21:1 OPV; Revelation 14:1 Avahr 16:15; Doctrines of the Saints 26c:79-87,

Ziv

Hebrew for “light,” or “glow,” Ziv is the Second month on the Hebrew calendar, called Iyar today. Iyar is the eighth civil month today. Ziv/Iyar is called the month of natural healing. 
Ziv/Iyar occurs in April–May on the Gregorian calendar.
