1
After the third day, the king sent his servants to govern the fire that it might again be used for making bricks.
2
But when they came up to the furnace, behold, I was sitting therein conversing with the angels whom God had sent.
3
Therefore, the servants of the king being greatly astonished, went and told him of this matter, but he would not believe them.
4
However, when the men persisted in their tale and showed great consternation, King Nimrod himself came unto the furnace, but the angels had departed and I sat alone in the flames.
5
When he saw me therein unconsumed, the king cried out in alarm, O Abram, art thou a sorcerer greater than ours that thou shouldst live in the flames unconsumed?
6
But I answered him, Not so, O king, but the God of heaven who is the true God above all hath sent his angels unto me and hath preserved me from this fire.
7
Being much amazed the king exclaimed, Come forth then from the fire for I see that no power of mine can harm thee.
