When I was ten years of age, I departed from the cave by night while my mother and my nurse slept and the angel of God met me and led me to the city of Shalom where Noah and his son Shem dwelt and no man knew where I was.
2
And I dwelt with Noah and Shem for thirty-nine years, being instructed in all the ways of the Most High God.
3
And finding great happiness and peace and rest therein, I sought for the blessings of the fathers and I received, under the direction of Noah and Shem, those instructions whereby I might enter into the order of the ancients and I became a rightful heir, an high priest holding the right belonging to the fathers. For I was ushered into the Church of the Firstborn and tasted of the fruits of heavenly life.
