Chapter 14

The Veil


1

And the sons of Noah that went forth of the arka were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth;

2

These were the three sons of Noah, and of them was the charge given to teach the whole earth teshuvaha, and to finish the creation.

3

¶ And Noah began to till the earth, and he was a husbandman, yea a man of the soil; and he planted a vineyard.

4

And Noah and his wife and their sons did build a temple, or a dwelling place for the things of YHVH Elohima, and there in the Holy of Holiesb and he, Noah, and his wife Na’amah drank of the wine they had made and were in vision, conversing there with YHVHc;

5

And Noah and Na’amah, his wife were uncovered within this tabernacle, which is to say that they had divested of their outer robes and were in their holy garmentsa as had been handed down by Adam and Eveb;

6

And Ham didst enter the chamber unannounced and he saw the nakednessa of his father and mother, for he knew not these things before YHVH;

7

And he tolda his brethren without; and Shem and Japheth took a clothb, and laid upon both their shoulders, and they went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father and mother;

8

Yeah, they placed the veil between they and their father and their mother, that none could see in;

9

And they saw not their father nor their mother in their puritya.

10

¶ And Noah and Na’amah awoke from their visions and knew what their youngest son had done unto them;

11

And Noah said: Cursed be the children of Ham; yea and a servant of servantsa shall these be unto their brethren and to foreigners;

12

For a veil of darknessa hath covered him, that he has seen the things of YHVH unannouncedb and with the eyes of manc.

13

And Noah said: Blessed be YHVH, the Goda of Shem! and Elohimb shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall attend to him.

14

¶ And in that very same day, Ham left them with his wife and family to wander the earth,

15

And as they left, Ham took with him those garments that Noah his father and Na’amah his mother had worn;

16

And these he took, and hid them this secret from his brothers that he might have power over them for he understood not the curse.

17

But because they were taken and not given, and thus it was that there was no power in them, for the things of YHVH must be endowed upon His servants,

18

And behold, this was the darkness of the curse his father had placed upon him: that he and his children would have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof, until the day that they would return again to YHVH in teshuvah;

19

And this because in that day Ham did reject The Presencea of Elohim, and because they left their family they did not know, and thus they could no longer teach them or be taught the things of Elohim.

20

¶ And Noah lived after the flood, and he and his wife Na’amah lived to reach the nine hundred and fiftieth degreea; and they died.

21

And the angels wept; and it was said that in the day that Noah was born into the world, his skin was as red as a blooming rose;

22

And the hair upon his head was long, and thick, and white as wool;

23

And that they that beheld him, his eyes pierced them as the rays of the sun,

24

Yea and that when his eyes first opened, he lit up an entire room, and they beheld that very house was very full of the light of Ruach HaKodesha;

25

And all present and his birth did open their mouths in praise of YHVH in righteousness.

26

And these things and more did they say, for truly Noah and Na’amah were the Tzadik Yachada of that generation.
