Chapter 68


1

But Lot and I and all our household spent that night in prayer before the Lord for Sarai that she might accomplish her mission and that she might not be defiled contrary to her covenants.

2

And I stood with mine arms stretched out toward heaven after the holy order of God and I said, Blessed art thou, O Lord the Most High God, Lord of all worlds and Lord and Ruler over all things.

3

I know that thou dost rule over all the kings of the earth, executing judgment upon them in righteousness even as thou didst save me from the evil designs of the mighty King Nimrod.

4

Now do I complain before thee concerning Pharaoh of Zoan, king of Egypt, who hath violently abducted my wife Sarai from me.

5

Wreak justice upon him in my behalf and let me behold thine hand wax mighty against him and against all his household and let him not be able this night to defile my wife contrary to her covenants.

6

Let them come to know, O Lord, that thou art the Lord of all the kings of the earth and the Ruler of all men, for for this cause did I suffer Sarai to go among them according to thy counsel.
