Chapter 20

The Vision of Israel


1

And it came to pass that the angel of YHVHa came unto Jacob, saying: Fear not, Jacob; for I am he who hath been with thee from thy youth, and it is I that named thee and thy people Israel.

2

Now, therefore, be thee not troubled for thou hast been a faithful servant unto YHVHa, and behold thou hast seen thy son Joseph once more.

3

¶ And then the angel of YHVH took Jacob and showed unto him all of the works of the Creatora.

4

And Jacob spoke in amazement, saying: Surely YHVH is El Elyona, the Creatorb, the very king of all creation!

5

And who am I, and who is my father, Isaac, and my father, Abraham, that Ha’Elohima should choose these, and our seed from among all people, and raised us above all tongues?

6

Who are we that should bear these blessings and these burdens?

7

For we were in the mist of a great famine, but YHVH Elohima did prepare a way to save our seed from death,

8

And yet we shall dwell here in peace but a short time, YHVH has prepared away and shown unto me that my seed shall be taken away from these and brought back unto the land promised us.

9

O, Israel, my seed! Forget not YHVH thy Elohim, that for I have seen that we have given a heritage,

10

And least we should forget, O Israel, the very Elohima that hath made a way for our escape from Egypt back into the lands promised us by our Elohim, YHVH watcheth over us still:

11

For once we live in the land of the sons of mana, least we forget that we are the children of Elohimb, YHVH shall send us a witness.

12

¶ And in that day, we shall remember YHVH, and we shall journey through the trials with YHVH to lead us;

13

And YHVH shall watch over us, wherever we should go, and light our way in the darkness.

14

And should be keep our covenants with YHVH Elohim the more we shall be blessed!

15

And if we keep them not, YHVH shall weep for us, and still prepare a way for us, that we should see the light in the darknessa should we desire to return home.

16

And Jacob wept greatly for the sake of his seed.

17

¶ And the angel of YHVH spoke to Jacob, saying: Israel, fear not: for YHVH did not send thy seed unto death, but unto life;

18

Therefore, take courage and warn thy sons, let them know to remember YHVH always that thy seed might bring forth the final act of creation.

19

And Jacob gained strength in YHVH, and his heart was full; and he praised Elohim, for though his eyes were blinded, in YHVH he had seen and lived.
