Chapter 2

1

And it came to pass, as the Voice^a of Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh^b was still speaking, Moses cast his eyes and beheld the earth, yea, even all of the face of it;

2

And there was not a part of it which he did not behold, discerning it by the Breath^a.

3

Yea, and he beheld also the inhabitants thereof, and there was not a soul which he beheld not;

4

And he discerned them by The Glory of Elohim^a; and their numbers were great, even as numberless as the sand upon the seashore;

5

And he beheld many lands, and each land was called earth; and there were inhabitants on the face thereof.

6

¶ And it came to pass that Moses called upon The Creator^a, saying: Tell me, I pray thee, why these things are so and by what thou madest them.

7

And behold, The Glory of Elohim was upon Moses, so that Moses stood in The Presence^a of Elohim^b, and he talked with The Creator face to face^c.

8

¶ And YHVH Elohim^a said unto Moses: For mine own purpose have I made these things;

9

Here is Wisdom^a, and it remaineth^b in me;

10

And by the Word^a of my power have I created them, which is the Yachad Yachid Echad^b, who is full of grace^c and truth.

11

And worlds without number have I created, and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Yachad I created them;

12

And the first all humans^a have I called Adam^a, which is to say mankind^a;

13

But only an account of this earth and the inhabitants thereof give I unto you;

14

For behold, there are many worlds^a which have passed away by the Word of My Power^b; and there are many also which now stand, and numberless are they unto mankind^c;

15

But all things are numbered unto me, for they are mine, and I know them.

16

¶ And it came to pass that Moses spake unto The Creator, saying: Be merciful unto thy servant, O Creator, and tell me concerning this earth, and the inhabitants thereof, and also the heavens; and then thy servant will be content.

17

¶ And YHVH Elohim^a spoke unto Moses, saying: The heavens, they are many, and innumerable unto man; but they are numbered unto me, for they are mine;

18

And as one^a earth shall pass away, and the heavens thereof, even so shall another come;

19

And there is no end to my works, neither to my words:

20

For this is my Work and my Glory^a: to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of mankind^b.

21

¶ And now, Moses, my Tzadik Yachad^a, I will speak unto you concerning this earth upon which you stand; and you shall write the things which I shall speak.

22

And in a day when the children of man shall esteem my words as naught and take many of them from the book which you shall write, behold, I will raise up another like unto you;

23

And my Word^a shall be had again among the children of man^b, among even as many as shall believe.
