On the day I was guarding the mighty ones of my father Terah and the mighty ones of my brother Nahor, while I was testing (to find out) which mighty one is in truth the strongest,

I (then) Abraham, at the time when my lot came, when I was completing the services, of my father Terah's sacrifice to his mighty ones of wood, of stone, of gold, of

silver, of copper, and of iron, having entered their temple for the service, I found a mighty one named Marumath, carved from stone, fallen at the feet of the iron mighty one

Nakhin. And it came to pass, that when I saw it my heart was perplexed and I thought in my mind that I, Abraham, could not put it back in its place alone,

because it was heavy, (being made) of a big stone. But I went and told my father,

and he came in with me. And when we both lifted it to put it in its place, its head

fell off, even while I was holding it by its head. And it came to pass, when my father saw that the head of his mighty one Marumath had fallen, he said to me, "Abraham!"

And I said, "Here I am!" And he said to me, "Bring me the axes and chisels from the house." And I brought them to him

from the house. And he cut another Marumath from another stone, without a head, and he smashed the head that had fallen off Marumath and the rest of Marumath.

He made five other mighty ones and he gave then to me and ordered me to sell them

outside on the town road. I saddled my father's ass and loaded them on it and

went out on the highway to sell them. And behold merchants from Phandana of Syria were coming with camels, on their way to Mitsrayim to buy kokonil from

the Nile. I asked them a question and they answered me. And walking along I conversed with them. One of their camels screamed. The ass took fright and ran away and threw off the mighty ones. Three of them were crushed and two remained

(intact). And it came to pass that when the Syrians saw that I had mighty ones, they said to me, "Why did you not tell us that you had mighty ones? We would have bought them

before the ass heard the camel's voice and you have had no loss. Give us

at least the mighty ones that remain and we will give you a suitable price." I considered it in my heart. And they paid both for the smashed mighty ones and the mighty ones which

remained. For I had been grieving in my heart how I would bring payment to my

father. I threw three broken (mighty ones) into the water of the river Gur, which was in this place. And they sank into the depths of the river Gur and were no more.

As I was still walking on the road, my heart was disturbed and my mind

distracted. I said in my heart, "What is the inequality of activity which my

father is doing? Is it not he rather who is mighty one for his mighty ones, because they come

into being from his sculpting, his planning, and his skill? They ought to honor my father because they are his work. What is this food of my father in his works?

Behold, Marumath fell and could not stand up in his sanctuary, nor could I myself

lift him until my father came and we raised him up. And even so we were not able (to do it) and his head fell off of him. And he put it on another stone of

another mighty one, which he had made without a head. And... the other five mighty ones which got smashed (in falling) from the ass, who could not save themselves and injure the ass because it smashed them, nor did their shards come up out of the

river. And I said to my heart, "If it is so, how then can my father's mighty one Marumath, which has the head of another stone and which is made from another stone, save a man, or heart a man's prayer, or give him any gift?"

And thinking thus, I came to my father's house. And I watered the ass and gave him hay. And I took out the silver and placed it in the hand of my father Terah.

And when he saw it, he was glad, and he said, "You are barak. Abraham, by the mighty one of my mighty ones, since you have brought me the price for the mighty ones, so that my

labor was not (in) vain." And answering I said to him, "Listen, father Terah! The mighty ones are blessing in you, because you are a mighty one for them, because you made

them, for their blessing is their perdition and their power is vain. They did not

help themselves; how then can they help you or barak me? I was good for you in this transaction, for through my good sense I brought you the silver for the

smashed (mighty ones)." And when he heard my speech he became furiously angry with me, because I had spoken harsh words against his mighty ones.

But having pondered my father's anger, I went out. And afterward when I had

gone out, he called me saying, "Abraham!" And I said, "Here I am!" And he said, "Up, gather wood chips, for I was making mighty ones from fir before you came,

and prepare with them food for my midday meal." And it came to pass, when I was choosing the wooden chips, I found among them a small mighty one which would

fit...in my left hand. And on its forehead was written: mighty one Barisat. And it came to pass when I put the chips on the fire in order to prepare the food for my father, and going out to inquire about the food, I put Barisat near the enkindling

fire, saying to him threateningly, "Barisat, watch that the fire does not go out

before I come back! If the fire goes out, blow on it so it flares up." I went out

and I made my counsel. When I returned I found Barisat fallen on his back. His

feet enveloped by fire and burning fiercely. And it came to pass when I saw it, I laughed (and) said to myself, "Barisat, truly you know how to light a fire and

cook food!" And it came to pass while saying this in my laughter, I saw (that)

he burned up slowly from the fire and became ashes. I carried the food to my

father to eat. I gave him wine and milk, and he drank and he enjoyed himself

and he barak Marumath his mighty one. And I said to him, "Father Terah, do not barak Marumath your mighty one, do not praise him! Praise rather Barisat, your mighty one, because, as though loving you, he threw himself into the fire in order to cook your food."

And he said to me, "Then where is he now?" And I said, "He has burned in the fierceness of the fire and become dust." And he said, "Great is the power of Barisat! I will make another today, and tomorrow he will prepare my food."

When I, Abraham, heard words like this from my father, I laughed in my mind,

and I groaned in the bitterness and anger of my soul. I said, "How then is a figment of a body made by him (Terah) an aid for my father? Or can he have subordinated (his) body to his soul, his soul to a spirit, and the spirit to stupidity

and ignorance?" And I said, "It is only proper to endure evil that I may throw

my mind to purity and I will expose my thoughts clearly to him." I answered and said, "Father Terah, whichever of these mighty ones you extol, you err in your thought.

Behold, the mighty ones of my brother Nahor'standing in the qodesh sanctuary are more

venerable than yours. For behold, Zouchaios, my brother Nahor's mighty one is more venerable than your mighty one Marumath because he is made of gold, valued by man.

And if he grows old with time, he will be remolded, whereas Marumath, if h

e is changed or broken, will not be renewed, because he is stone. What about Ioav, the mighty one on the other mighty one, who stands with Zouchaios? For he is also more venerable than the mighty one Barisat; he is carved from wood and forged from silver. Because he too is a term of comparison, being valued by man according to external 10,11experience. But Barisat, your mighty one, when he was still not carved, rooted in the

earth, being great and wondrous, with branches and flowers; and praise...But

you made him with an axe, and by your skill he was made a mighty one. And behold

he has already dried up and his fatness has perished. He fell from the height to

the earth, he came from greatness to smallness, and the appearance of his face

wasted away. And, he himself was burned up by the fire and he became ashes

and is no more. And you say, Let me make another and tomorrow he will make

my food for me. But in perishing he left himself no strength for his (own) destruction."

This I say:

Fire is more venerable in formation, for even the unsubdued (things) are subdued in it, and it mocks that which perishes easily by means of its

burning. But neither is it venerable, for it is subject to the waters.

But rather the waters are more venerable than it (fire), because they overcome fire and sweeten the earth

with fruits. But I will not call them mighty one either, for the waters subside under the

earth and are subject to it. But I will not call it a goddess either, for it is dried by the sun (and) subordinated to man for his work.

More venerable among the mighty ones, I say, is the sun, for with its rays it illuminates the whole universe and the various airs.

Nor will I place among the mighty ones the one who obscures his course by means of the moon and the clouds.

Nor again shall I call the moon or the stars mighty ones, because they too at times during the night dim their light.

Listen, Terah my father, I shall seek before you the ALUAH who created all the mighty ones supposed by us (to exist).

For who is it, or which one is it who made the heavens crimson and the sun golden, who has given light to the moon and the stars with it, who has dried the earth in the midst of the many waters, who set you yourself among the things and who has sought me out in the perplexity of my thoughts?

I (only) ALUAH will reveal himself by himself to us!"

And it cane to pass as I was thinking things like these with regard to my father Terah in the court of my house, the voice of the Mighty One came down from

the heavens in a stream of fire, saying and calling, "Abraham, Abraham!" And

I said, "Here I am." And he said, "You are searching of the ALUAH of mighty ones, the

Creator, in the understanding of your heart. I am he. Go out from Terah, your father, and go out of the house, that you too may not be slain in the sins of your

father's house." And it came to pass as I went out-I was not

yet outside the entrance of the court- that the sound of a great thunder came and burned him and his house and everything in his house, down to the ground, forty cubits.

Then a voice came speaking to me twice: "Abraham, Abraham!" And I said,

"Here I am." And he said, "Behold, it is I, Fear not, for I an Before-the-World

and Mighty, the ALUAH who created previously, before the light of the age. I am

the protector for you and I am your helper. Go, get me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old she-goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a pigeon,

and make me a pure sacrifice. And in this sacrifice I will place the ages. I will announce to you guarded things and you will see great things which you have not

seen, because you desired to search for me, and I called you my beloved. But for forty days abstain from every kind of food cooked by fire, and from drinking

of wine and from anointing (yourself) with oil. And then you shall set out for me the sacrifice, which I have commanded you, in the place which I will show you

on a high mountain. And there I will show you the things which were made by

the ages and by my word, and affirmed, created, and renewed. And I will announce to you in them what will come upon those who have done evil and just things in the race of man."

And it came to pass when I heard the voice pronouncing such words to me

that I looked this way and that. And behold there was no breath of man. And my spirit was amazed, and my soul fled from me. And I became like a stone, and fell face down upon the earth, for there was no longer strength in me to stand up on

the earth. And while I was still face down on the ground, I heard the voice speaking, "Go, Iaoel of the same name, through the meditation of my ineffable

name, consecrate this man for me and strengthen him against his trembling." The angel he sent to me in the likeness of a man came, and he took me by my right

hand and stood me on my feet. And he said to me, "Stand up, Abraham, friend

of ALUAH who has loved you, let human trembling not enfold you! For lo! I am sent to you to strengthen you and to barak you in the name of ALUAH, creator of heavenly

and earthly things, who has loved you. Be bold and hasten to him. I am Iaoel and I was called so by him who causes those with me on the seventh expanse, on the firmament, to shake, a power through the medium of his ineffable name in

me. I am the one who has been charged according to his commandment, to restrain the threats of the living creatures of the cherubim against one another, and I teach those who carry the song through the medium of man's night of the seventh hour.

I am appointed to hold the Leviathans, because through me is subjugated the

attack and menace of every reptile. I am ordered to loosen Hades and to destroy

those who wondered at the dead. I am the one who ordered you father's house

to be burned with him, for he honored the dead. I am sent to you now to barak you and the land which he whom you have called the Eternal One has prepared

for you. For your sake I have indicated the way of the land. Stand up, Abraham, go boldly, be very joyful and rejoice. And I (also rejoice) with you, for a venerable

honor has been prepared for you by the Eternal One. Go, complete the sacrifice of the command, Behold, I am assigned (to be) with you and with the generation

which is predestined (to be born) from you. And with me Michael blesses you forever. Be bold, go!"

And I stood up and saw him who had taken my right hand and set me on my

feet. The appearance of his body was like sapphire, and the aspect of his face

was like chrysolite, and the hair of his head like snow. And a kidaris (was) on his head, its look that of a rainbow, and the clothing of his garments (was) purple;

and a golden staff (was) in his right hand. And he said to me, "Abraham," And I said, "Here is your servant!" And he said, "Let my appearance not frighten

you, nor my speech trouble your soul. Come with me! And I will go with you

visible until the sacrifice, but after the sacrifice invisible forever. Be bold and go!"

And we went, the two of us alone together, forty days and nights. And I ate no bread and drank no water, because (my) food was to see the angel who was

with me, and his discourse with me was my drink. We came to ALUAH's mountain,

glorious Horeb. And I said to the angel, "Singer of the Eternal One, behold I have no sacrifice with me, nor do I know a place for an altar on the mountain, so how

shall I make the sacrifice?" And he said, "Look behind you." And I liked behind me. And behold all the prescribed sacrifices were following us: the calf,

the she-goat, the ram, the turtledove, and the pigeon. And the angel'said to me;

"Abraham." And I said, "Here I am." And he said to me, "Slaughter all these

and divide the animals exactly into halves. But do not cut the birds apart. And give them to the men whom I will show you standing beside you, for they are the

altar on the mountain, to offer sacrifice to the Eternal One. The turtledove and the pigeon you will give to me for I will ascend on the wings of the birds to show you (what) is in the heavens, on the earth and in the sea, in the abyss, and in the lower depths, in the garden of Eden and in its rivers, in the fullness of the universe. And you will see its circles in all."

And I did everything according to the angel's command. And I gave the messengers who had come to us the divided parts of the animals. And the angel Iaoel took

the two birds. And I waited for the evening gift. And an unclean bird flew down

on the carcasses, and I drove it away. And the unclean bird spoke to me and said, "What are you doing, Abraham, on the qodesh heights where no one eats or drinks, nor is there upon them food for men. But these all will be consumed by fire and

they will burn you up. Leave the man who is with you and flee! For if you

ascend to the height, they will destroy you." And it came to pass when I saw the bird speaking I said this to the angel: "What is this, my lord?" And he said,

"This is disgrace, this is Azazel!" And he said to him, "Shame on you,

Azazel! For Abraham's portion is in shamayim, and yours is on the earth, for you have selected here, (and) become enamored of the swelling place of your blemish. Therefore the Eternal Ruler, the Mighty One, has given you a dwelling on earth.

Through you the all-evil spirit (is) a liar, and through you (are) wrath and trials

on the generations of men who live impiously. For the Eternal, Mighty One did not allow the bodies of the righteous to be in your hand, so through them the

righteous life is affirmed and the destruction of ungodliness. Hear, counselor, be

shamed by me! You have no permission to tempt all the righteous. Depart from

this man! You cannot deceive him, because he is the enemy of you and of those

who follow you and who love what you wish. For behold, the garment which is shamayim was formerly yours has been set aside for him, and the corruption which was on him has gone over to you."

And the angel'said to me, "Abraham!" And I said, "Here I am, your

servant." And he said, "Know from this that the Eternal One whom you have

loved has chosen you. Be bold and do through your authority whatever I order

you against him who reviles justice. Will I not be able to revile him who has scattered about the earth the secrets of shamayim and who has taken counsel against

the Mighty One? Say to him, May you be the firebrand of the furnace of the

earth! Go, Azazel, into the untrodden parts of the earth. For your heritage is over those who are with you, with the stars and with the men born by the clouds,

whose portion you are, indeed they exist through your being. Enmity is for you

a pious act. Therefore through your own destruction be gone from me! And

I said the words as the angel had taught me. And he said, "Abraham." And I

said, "Here I am, your servant!" And the angel'said to me, "Answer him not!"

And he spoke to me a second time. And the angel'said, "Now, whatever he says to you, answer him not, lest his will run up to you. For the Eternal, Mighty

One gave him the gravity and the will. Answer him not." And I did what the angel had commanded me. And whatever he said to me about the descent, I answered him not.

And it came to pass when the sun was setting, and behold a smoke like that of a furnace, and the messengers who had the divided portions of the sacrifice ascended

from the top of the furnace of smoke. And the angel took me with his right hand and set me on the right wing of the pigeon and he himself sat on the left wing of

the turtledove, (both of) which were as of neither slaughtered nor divided. And

he carried me up to the edge of the fiery flames. And we ascended as if (carried)

by many winds to the shamayim that is fixed on the expanses. And I saw on the air

to whose height we had ascended a strong light which can not be described And behold, in this light a fiery Gehenna was enkindled, and a great crowd in the

likeness of men. They all were changing in aspect and shape, running and changing form and prostrating themselves and crying words I did not know.

And I said to the angel, "Why is it you now brought me here? For now I can

no longer see, because I am weakened and my spirit is departing from me." And

he said to me, "Remain with me, do not fear. He whom you will see coming directly toward us in a great sound of sanctification is the Eternal One who has

loved you. You will not look at him himself. But let your spirit not weaken, for I am with you, strengthening you."

And while he was still speaking, behold the fire coming toward us round about, and a voice was in the fire like a voice of many waters, like voice of the

(3) sea in its uproar. And the angel knelt down with me and worshipped. And I wanted to fall face down on the earth. And the place of highness on which we

were standing now stopped on high, now rolled down low. And he said, "Only

worship, Abraham, and recite the song which I taught you." Since there was no ground to which I could fall prostrate, I only bowed down, and I recited the song

which he had taught me. And he said, "Recite without ceasing." And I recited, and he himself recited the song

Eternal One, Mighty One, qadesh El, ALUAH autocrat

Self-originate, incorruptible, immaculate, Unbegotten, spotless, immortal,

Self-perfected, self-devised, Without mother, without father, ungenerated,

Exalted, fiery, Exalted, Fiery One! Lover of men, Benevolent One, Bountiful One,

Eli, eternal, mighty one, qodesh Sabaoth, Most glorious El, El, El, El, Iaoel,

You are he my soul has loved, my protector.

Eternal, fiery, shining, light-giving, thunder-voiced, lightning-visioned, many-eyed,

receiving the petitions of those who honor you and turning away from the petitions of those who restrain you by the restraint of their provocations, 17. redeemer of those who dwell in the midst of the wicked ones, of those who are dispersed among the just of the world, in the corruptible age.

Showing forth the age of the just, ' You make the light shine Before the morning light upon your creation From your face To spend the day on the earth,

And in your heavenly dwelling place (there is) an inexhaustible light of a invincible dawning from the light of your face.

Accept my prayer and delight in it, And (accept) also the sacrifice which you yourself made To yourself through me as I searched for you.

Receive me favorably, Teach me, show me, and make known to your servant What you have promised me.

And as I was still reciting the song, the mouth of the fire which was on the

firmament was rising up on high. And I heard a voice like the roaring of the sea,

and it did not cease from the plentitude of the fire. And as the fire rose up, soaring to the highest point, I saw under the fire a throne of fire and the many-eyed ones round about, reciting the song, under the throne four fiery living creatures, singing.

,And the appearance of each of them was the same, each having four faces, And this (was) the aspect of their faces: of a lion, of a man, of an ox, and of an eagle. Each one had four heads on its body so that the four living creatures had sixteen

faces. And each one had six wings: two on the shoulders, two halfway down, and

two at the loins. With the wings which were on their shoulders they covered their faces, with the wings at their loins they clothed their feet, and they would stretch

the two middle wings out and fly, erect. And when they finished singing, they

would look at one another and threaten one another. And it came to pass when the angel who was with me saw that they were threatening each other, he left me

and went running to them. And he turned the face of each living creature from the face which was opposite it so that they could not see each other's faces

threatening each other. And he taught them the song of peace which the Eternal

One has in himself. And while I was still standing and watching, I saw behind the living creatures a chariot with fiery wheels. Each wheel was full of eyes round

about. And above the wheels was the throne which I had seen. And it was covered with fire and the fire encircled it round about, and an indescribable light surrounded

the fiery crowd. And I heard the voice of their sanctification like the voice of a single man.

And a voice came to me out of the midst of the fire, saying, "Abraham,

Abraham!" And I said, "Here I am!" And he said, "Look at the expanses which are under the firmament to which you have now been directed and see that on no single expanse is there any other but the one whom you have searched for

or who has loved you." And while he was still speaking, behold, the expanses under me, the heavens, opened and I saw on the seventh firmament upon which I stood a fire spread out and a light and dew and a multitude of messengers and a host of the invisible esteem, and up above the living creatures I had seen; I saw no one

else there, And I looked from on high, where I was standing, downward to the

sixth firmament. And I saw there a multitude of spiritual messengers, incorporeal, carrying out the orders of the fiery messengers who were on the eighth firmament, as

I was standing on its elevation. And lo, neither on this firmament was there

in any shape any other host, but only the spiritual messengers. And the host I saw on

the seventh firmament commanded the sixth firmament and it removed itself. I saw there, on the fifth (firmament), host of stars, and the orders they were commanded to carry out, and the elements of earth obeying them.

And the Eternal, Mighty One said to me, "Abraham, Abraham!" And I said,

"Here I am !" And he said, :Look from on high at the stars which are beneath

you and count them for me and tell me their number!" And I said, "When can

I? For I am a man." And he said to me, "As the number of the stars and their power so shall I place for your seed the nations and men, qadesh for me in my

lot with Azazel." And I said, "Eternal and Mighty One. Let your servant speak

before you and let your fury not rage against your chosen one. Behold, before you led me up, Azazel insulted me. How then, since he is now not before you, did you establish yourself with them?"

And he said to me, "Look now beneath your feet at the firmament and understand the creation that was depicted of old on this expanse, (and) the creatures

which are in it and the age prepared after it." And I looked beneath the firmament at my feet and I saw the likeness of shamayim and the things that were therein.

And (I saw) there the earth and its fruit, and its moving things and its things that had souls, and its host of men and the impiety of their souls and their justification, and their pursuit of their works and the abyss and its torments,

and its lower depths and (the) perdition in it. And I saw there the sea and its islands, and its cattle and its fish, and Leviathan and his realm and his bed and his lairs, and the world which lay upon him, and his motions and the destruction

he caused the world. I saw there the rivers and their upper (reaches) and their circles.

And I saw there the garden of Eden and its fruits, and the source and the river flowing from it, and its trees and their flowering, making fruits, and I saw men doing justice in it, their food and their rest.

And I saw there a great crowd of men and women and children, half of them on the right side of the portrayal, and half of them on the left side of the portrayal.

And I said, "Eternal, Mighty One! What is this picture of creation?" And he said to me, "This is my will with regard to what is in the light and it was good before my face. And then, afterward, I gave them a command by my word and they came into existence. Whatever I had decreed was to exist had already been outlined in this and all the previously created (things) you have seen stood before

me." And I said, "O sovereign, mighty and eternal! Why are the people in this picture on this side and on that?" And he said to me, "These who are on the left side are a multitude of tribes who existed previously...and after you some (who have been) prepared for judgment and order, others for revenge and perdition

at the end of the age. Those on the right side of the picture are the people qadesh for me of the people with Azazel; these are the ones I have prepared to be born of you and to be called my people.

"Look again at the picture: Who is the one who seduced Eve, and what is

the fruit of the tree? And you will know what will be and how much will be for

your seed in the last days. And what you cannot understand, I will make known to you because you have been pleasing before my face and I will tell you what

I have kept in my heart." And I looked at the picture, and my eyes ran to the

side of the garden of Eden. And I saw there a man very great in height and terrible in breadth, incomparable in aspect, entwined with a woman who was also equal

to the man in aspect and size. And they were standing under a tree of Eden, and

the fruit of the tree was like the appearance of a bunch of grapes of the vine. And behind the tree was standing (something) like a dragon in form, but having hands

and feet like a man's, on his back six wings on the right and six on the left. And he was holding the grapes of the tree and feeding them to the two I saw entwined

with each other. And I said, "Who are these two entwined with each other, or who is this between them, and what is the fruit which they are eating, Mighty

One, Eternal?" And he said, "This is the world of men, this is Adam and this

is their thought on earth, this is Eve. And he who is between them is the impiety

of their behavior unto perdition, Azazel himself." And I said, "Eternal Mighty One, why then did you adjudge him such dominion that through his works

he could ruin humankind on earth?" And he said to me, "Hear, Abraham! Those who desire evil, and all whom I have hated as they commit them- over them

did I give him dominion, and he was to be beloved of them." And I answered and said, "Eternal, Mighty One! Why did it please you to bring it about that evil should be desired in the heart of man, because you are angered at what was chosen by you...him who does useless things in your light(?)"

And he said to me thus, "Close to the nations...for your sake and for the sake of those qadesh after you, the people of your tribe, as you will see in the

picture, what is burdened on them. And I will explain to you what will be, and

everything that will be in the last days. Look now at everything in the picture."

And I looked and saw there the creatures that had come into being before me.

And I saw, as it were, Adam and Eve who was with him, and with them the crafty adversary and Cain, who had been led by the adversary to break the law, and (I saw) the murdered Abel (and) the perdition brought on him and given

through the lawless one. And I saw there fornication and those who desired it, and its defilement and their zeal; and the fire of the corruption in the lower depths

of the earth. And I saw there theft and those who hasten after it, and the system

of their retribution, the judgment of the great court. I saw there naked men, forehead to forehead, and their shame and the harm (they wrought) against their

friends and the retribution. And I saw there desire, and in her hand (was) the head of every kind of lawlessness, and her torment and her dispersal destined to destruction.

I saw there the likeness of the idol of jealousy, like a carpenter's figure such as my father used to make, and its body was of glittering copper, and before it

a man, and he was worshipping it. And (there was) an altar opposite it and boys

being slaughtered on it in the face of the idol. And I said to him, "What is this idol, or what is the altar, or who are those being sacrificed, or who is the sacrificer, or what is the handsome temple which I see, the art and beauty of your esteem that

lies beneath your throne?" And he said, "Hear, Abraham! This temple which you have seen, the altar and the works of art, this is my idea of the priesthood of the name of my esteem, where every petition of man will enter and dwell; the ascent of kings and prophets and whatever sacrifice I decree to be made for me

among my coming people, even of your tribe. And the body you saw is my anger, because the people who will come to me out of you will make me angry.

And the man you saw slaughtering is he who angers me, and the sacrifice is a killing of those who are for me a testimony of the judgment of the completion at the beginning of creation."

And I said, "Eternal, Mighty One! Why did you establish it to be so and to

call on the testimonies of this one?" And he said to me, "Hear, Abraham, and

understand what I will explain to you, and answer whatever I ask you. Why did your father Terah not obey your voice and abandon the demonic worship of idols

until he perished, and all his house with him?" And I said, "Eternal Mighty One, surely because it did not please him to obey me, nor did I follow his works."

And he said to me, "Hear. Abraham. As the counsel of your father is in him, as

your counsel is in you, so also the counsel of my will is ready. In days to come you will not know them in advance, nor the future (men) you will see with your own eyes that they are of your seed. Look at the picture!

And I looked and I saw, and behold the picture swayed. And from its lift side a crowd of heathens ran out and they captured the men, women, and children who

were on its right side. And some they slaughtered and others they kept with

them. Behold I saw (them) running to them by way of four ascents and they burned the Temple with fire, and they plundered the qodesh things that were in it.

And I said, "Eternal One, the people you received from me are being robbed by

the hordes of the heathen. They are killing some and holding others as aliens, and they burned the Temple with fire and they are stealing and destroying the beautiful

things which are in it. Eternal, Mighty One! If this is so, why now have you

afflicted my heart and why will it be so?" And he said to me, "Listen, Abraham, all that you have seen will happen on account of your seed who will (continually) provoke me because of the body which you saw and the murder in what was

depicted in the Temple of jealousy, and everything you saw will be so." And I said, "Eternal, Mighty One! Let the evil works (done) in iniquity now pass by;

but make commandments in them more than his just works. For you can do

this." And he said to me, "Again the time of justice will come upon them, at

first through the qodeshism of kings. And I will judge with justice those whom I

created earlier, to rule from them in them. And from these same ones will come men who will have regard for them. As I announced to you and you saw."

And I answered and said, "Mighty, Eternal One, you who are sanctified by your power, be merciful in my petition, since for this you informed me and

showed me. Since you have brought me up on to your height, therefore inform me, your beloved, about whatever I ask: Will what I saw be their lot for long?"

And he showed me a multitude of his people. And he said to me, "For this reason (it is) through the four ascents you say (that) my anger will be because

of them, and in them will be retribution for their works. And in the fourth ascent is one hundred years. And one hour of the age will also be one hundred years in evil among the heathen and an hour in their mercy, even with reproaches as among the heathen."

And I said, "Eternal, Mighty One! How long a time is an hour of the age?"

And he said, "I decreed to keep twelve periods of the impious age among the heathens and among your seed, and what you have seen will be until the end of

time. Count (it) up, and you will understand. Look down at the picture." And I looked and saw a man going out from the left, the heathen side. From the side of the heathen went outmen and women and children, a great crowd, and they

worshipped him. And while I was still looking, those on the right side came out,

and some insulted this man, and some struck him and others worshiped him. And I saw that as they worshiped him Azazel ran and worshiped and, kissing his face,

he turned and stood behind him. And I said, "Eternal, Mighty One! Who is this

man insulted and beaten by the heathen, with Azazel worshiped?" And he answered and said, "Hear, Abraham, the man whom you say insulted and beaten and again worshiped is the liberation from the heathen for the people who will

be (born) from you. In the last days, in this twelfth period of the age of my fulfillment, I will set up this man from your tribe, the one

whom you have seen from my people. All will imitate him,,,(you) consider

him as one called by me...(they) are changed in their counsels. And those you saw coming out from the left side of the picture and worshipping him, this

(means that) many of the heathen will trust in him. And those of your seed you saw on the right side, some insulting him, some beating him, and others worshiping

him, many of them shall be offended because of him. It is he who will test those of your seed who have worshiped him in the fulfillment of the twelfth hour, in the

curtailing of the age of impiety. Before the age of justice starts to grow, my judgment will come upon the heathen who have acted wickedly through the people

of your seed who have been qadesh for me. In those days I will bring upon all earthly creation ten plagues through evil and disease and the groaning of the

bitterness of their souls. Such will I bring upon the generations of those who are on it, out of anger and corruption of their creations with which they provoke me.

And then from your seed will be left the righteous men in their number, protected by me, who strive in the esteem of my name toward the place prepared beforehand

for them which you saw deserted in the picture. And they will live, being affirmed

by the sacrifices and the gifts of justice and truth in the age of justice. And they will rejoice forever in me, and they will destroy those who have destroyed them, they will rebuke those who have rebuked them through their mockery, and they

will spit in their faces. Those rebuked by me when they are to see me rejoicing

with my people for those who rejoice and receive and truly return to me." See, Abraham, what you have seen, hear what you have heard, know what you have known,. Go to your inheritance! And behold I an with you forever."

And while he was still speaking, I found myself on the earth, and I said, "Eternal, Mighty One, I am no longer in the esteem in which I was above, and all

that my soul desired to understand in my heart I do not understand." And he said to me, "I will explain to you the things you desired in your heart, for you have sought to know the ten plagues which I prepared against the heathen, and I

prepared them beforehand in the passing of the twelve hours on earth. Hear what

I tell you, it will be thus. The first: sorrow from much need. The second: fiery

conflagrations for the cities. The third: destruction by pestilence among the cattle.

The fourth: famine of the world, of their generation. The fifth: among the rulers, destruction by earthquake and the sword. The sixth: increase of hail and snow.

The seventh: wild beasts will be their grave. The eighth: pestilence and hunger

will change their destruction. The ninth: execution by the sword and flight in distress. The tenth: thunder, voices, and destroying earthquakes.

"And then I will sound the trumpet out of the air, and I will send my chosen one, having in him one measure of all my power, and he will summon my people,

humiliated by the heathen. And I will burn with fire those who mocked them and ruled over them in this age and I will deliver those who have covered me with

mockery over to the scorn of the coming age. Because I have prepared them (to be) food for the fire of Hades, and (to be) ceaseless soaring in the air of the underworld (regions) of the uttermost depths, (to be) the contents of a wormy

belly. For the makers will see in them justice, (the makers) who have chosen my desire and manifestly kept my commandments, and they will rejoice with merrymaking over the downfall of the men who remain and who followed after the

idols and after their murders. For they shall putrefy in the belly of the crafty

worm Azazel, and be burned by the fire of Azazel's tongue. For I waited so they

might come to me, and they did not deign to. And they glorified an alien (mighty one).

And they joined one to whom they had not been allotted, and they abandoned YAHUAH who gave them strength.

"Therefore, hear Abraham, and see, behold your seventh generation shall

go with you. And they will go out into an alien land. And they will enslave them and oppress

them as for one hour of the impious age. But of the nation

whom they shall serve I am the judge." And YAHUAH said this too, "Have you heard, Abraham, what I told you, what your tribe will encounter in the last days?"

Abraham, having heard, accepted the words of ALUAH in his heart. Yeah, this book is wild in the best way. You picked a heavy one for Beyond The 66. I will walk it in layers so it is easy to see:
