If you will pray yet more, and fast seven days again, I shall tell you greater things by day than I have heard. For your voice is heard before the most High: for the Mighty has seen your righteous dealing, he has seen also your chastity, which you have had ever since your youth. And therefore has he sent me to show you all these things, and to say unto you, Be of good comfort and fear not. And hasten not with the times that are past, to think vain things, that you may not hasten from the latter times. And it came to pass after this, that I wept again, and fasted seven days in like manner, that I might fulfil the three weeks which he told me. And in the eighth night was my heart vexed within me again, and I began to speak before the most High. For my spirit was greatly set on fire, and my soul was in distress. And I said, O Yah-Who-Ah, you spoke from the beginning of the creation, even the first day, and said thus; Let heaven and earth be made; and your word was a perfect work. And then was the spirit, and darkness and silence were on every side; the sound of man's voice was not yet formed. Then you commanded a fair light to come forth of your treasures, that your work might appear. Upon the second day you made the spirit of the firmament, and commanded it to part asunder, and to make a division betwixt the waters, that the one part might go up, and the other remain beneath. Upon the third day you did command that the waters should be gathered in the seventh part of the earth: six parts have you dried up, and kept them, to the intent that of these some being planted of Elohim and tilled might serve you. For as soon as your word went forth the work was made. For immediately there was great and innumerable fruit, and many and divers pleasures for the taste, and flowers of unchangeable colour, and odours of wonderful smell: and this was done the third day. Upon the fourth day you commanded that the sun should shine, and the moon give her light, and the stars should be in order: And you gave them a charge to do service unto man, that was to be made. Upon the fifth day you said unto the seventh part, where the waters were gathered that it should bring forth living creatures, fowls and fishes: and so it came to pass. For the dumb water and without life brought forth living things at the commandment of Elohim, that all people might praise your wondrous works. Then you ordained two living creatures, the one you called Enoch, and the other Leviathan; And you separated the one from the other: for the seventh part, namely, where the water was gathered together, might not hold them both. Unto Enoch you gave one part, which was dried up the third day, that he should dwell in the same part, wherein are a thousand hills: But unto Leviathan you gave the seventh part, namely, the moist; and have kept him to be devoured of whom you will, and when. Upon the sixth day you gave commandment unto the earth, that before you it should bring forth beasts, cattle, and creeping things: And after these, Adam also, whom you made lord of all your creatures: of him come we all, and the people also whom you have chosen. All this have I spoken before you, O Yah-Who-Ah, because you made the world for our sakes. As for the other people, which also come of Adam, you have said that they are nothing, but be like unto spittle: and have likened the abundance of them unto a drop that falls from a vessel. And now, O Yah-Who-Ah, behold, these heathen, which have ever been reputed as nothing, have begun to be lords over us, and to devour us. But we your people, whom you have called your firstborn, your only begotten, and your fervent lover, are given into their hands. If the world now be made for our sakes, why do we not possess an inheritance with the world? how long shall this endure?
