1
And it came to pass that we did journey to the house of Laman, and there, Laman did greet his son, kissing him upon the cheek,
2
And so it was that when Laman did see that his son was returned to him safely that he did enquire of Baraq, asking: Who is this?
3
And Baraq did answer his father, saying: My father, this is Zenock, the Tzaddiq (Righteous One), from him have I gained much wisdom!
4
¶ And then did I reply unto Laman, saying: Master (adon), I am thy servant; but call me not Righteous One (Tzaddiq), for I am but a humble man, and only YHVH is righteous.
5
¶ And Laman did answer me, saying: This is well said; therefore, call me not Lord (adon), for only YHVH reigneth, sitting upon the throne of His holiness.
6
¶ And Baraq, in his haste, did speak unto his father, saying: Hear Zenock, father; for he is wise in the wisdom of El Olam!
7
¶ And it came to pass that Laman did bring us into his house, and did offer us bread and wine; and then it was that He did speak unto me, asking:
8
Tell me then, what is the wisdom of El Olam, and how dost thou know it?
9
¶ And I did answer him, saying: Lord, I, thy servant, shall speak it unto you, even as I do understand it;
10
But I am a simple man, so I pray thee, give me thy pity for the poorness of my speech.
11
¶ And speaking by the Breath that was upon me, I did speak, saying: The Torah does teach us:
12
In knowledge and in wisdom did YHVH create Ha’Elohim, and the Heavens, and the Earth.
13
Wherefore, the first wisdom is this: to know YHVH Elohim, and to know YHVH is to love YHVH, our Elohim, with one heart, and with one soul, and as one wholly.
14
And this wisdom is the perfect love; yea, it is a love that changeth not, but abides with us, for this is how Elohim Shaddai loveth us, His creation.
15
¶ And the Torah does teach us: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.
16
Wherefore, all of this, the creation, is our neighbor; if we do love the Creator, then we show this love by our love for this creation.
17
And this wisdom is the perfect (or complete) knowledge of the Creator and the creation; for how can a man take a wife that is a widow and love her but not love her children?
18
Therefore, if Israel is to love YHVH, our Elohim, then we will love all of His creation.
19
¶ And the Torah does teach us: Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place.
20
Wherefore, even as all of Israel hath been given of the mercy of YHVH Elohim, so too shall we be one Israel;
21
For the Torah doth also say: Hear, O Israel: YHVH is our Elohim; YHVH is unity.
22
Wherefore, if YHVH be Unity, then Israel too must be unity, for Israel is the creation of YHVH, our Elohim that Ruach HaKodesh and the Shekinah be upon us.
23
And this wisdom is the perfect wisdom, that we do see the unity of all the things that YHVH Elohim hath created.
24
¶ And the Torah does teach us: And YHVH Elohim offered unto the people teshuvah, saying: Of every tree of the garden, thou mayest freely eat.
25
Wherefore, teshuvah has been given us from the beginning; therefore, whence we know good from evil, let us do good.
26
And this wisdom is the perfect mercy of YHVH, for El Elyon did show unto us to walk upon the way.
27
¶ And the Torah does teach us: Calling upon Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh, Moses did receive strength.
28
Wherefore we do see that in the judgement that Moses did judge, so too was he judged;
29
And the judgment of Moses was not to cast out his brother, but to cast that adversary of doubt from out of himself.
30
And I do say unto you now: That when a man knows the unity or oneness of YHVH Elohim, he knows the oneness of this creation and truly understands his mitzvoth;
31
For the Torah does teach us truth, saying: Hear O Israel: YHVH is our Elohim; YHVH is Unity.
32
And this wisdom is the perfect judgement, that we do judge not but in righteousness, which is to say, we only judge our own actions and our own deeds.
33
¶ And the Torah does teach us: And YHVH will establish a covenant with Israel, with the circumcision of the heart, and this shall be the covenant between YHVH and Israel in all their generations.
34
When the heart is pierced, it is the birth of a soul and we are born again; and if mankind is not born again, we cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven;
35
And this is because when mankind is born again, the earth is healed, here a little and there a little, until all is as it was at the first.
36
And thus does mankind become new creatures, and such born to inherit the kingdom of Yah, which is our birthright.
37
Wherefore we see that in this does Israel perform her mitzvoth, and bring forth works of perfect righteousness (or bring forth the works to fulfill all righteousness), exceeding all beauty.
38
¶ And the Torah does teach us: And YHVH did bless them, and did say unto them: Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
39
Wherefore, so it must be that we increase our desires in righteousness, being the creation of YHVH Elohim,
40
Being transformed from a carnal and fallen state to a state of righteousness, being redeemed of YHVH, becoming His sons and daughters.
41
And now, is this not our eternal reward, to sit with Ha’Elohim and El Olam in the heavens?
42
And if the earth and the heavens be one, then the creation is finished.
43
But we see that the heaven and the earth are not one; therefore, it is the will of El Olam who is El Elyon that all they that walk in teshuvah is to teach his brother,
44
Wherefore, here is wisdom; yet it is not wisdom in me, but wisdom in Elohim Shaddai, even El Olam.
45
¶ And now, I do say unto you: The hidden wisdom is even this: when we serve our brothers we serve our Elohim; therefore, seek not to teach thy brother in wrath, but in service and in love.
46
Wherefore, the eternal glory given mankind of YHVH Elohim is to plant thy feet firmly upon that foundation; for such is the kingdom.
