1
And it came to pass that the malak, Haniel, did come forth unto me, saying: In that day that Zipporah and I did go unto the mountain of Ha’Elohim, YHVH did speak unto us, saying:
2
Ye shall make this known to men and women who are righteous and pure and faithful, whose hearts are united, and in whose mouth is no deceit;
3
They who lie not with their tongues, and who deceive not with their lips; they who grasp not with their hands and are not lustful with their eyes;
4
They who depart from uncleanliness, from defilement, keeping themselves holy, and doing all that I, YHVH, their Elohim, do instruct of them.
5
And tell them that they are not to defile themselves with the dead, nor are they to sleep on the places of the dead, that they not be defiled by sleeping spirits.
6
¶ And it came to pass that a plague did come over me, for where should we find such as these?
7
And now I do see that one such as this doth stand before me now; therefore, today take off thy cloak and you shall engrave upon it the seal, and in the middle of it you shall put the signs and the symbols.
8
And all that Raziel (רזיאל God is my secret) did teach thee is the meaning of the seal, and it is a seal between YHVH, your Elohim, and thee; for that seal is the very emanations (ספירוֹת) of YHVH.
9
And what then is this emanation? It is the outpouring of the Ruach HaKodesh, the very breath of Elohim.
10
¶ When YHVH Elohim created this world, El Elyon did breathe both justice (Gevurah) and mercy (Chesed) into it,
11
For being omnipotent, YHVH did know that there should be both good and evil, for there must needs be that there is opposition in all things:
12
If this were not so, there could not be life nor death, holiness nor wickedness, corruption nor incorruption.
13
¶ And I do see that thou, Zenock, have both acted and been acted upon;
14
Therefore, you do know the taste of the bitterness of sin and death, and the sweet taste of that tree of life that doth grow within thy heart.
15
Wherefore, know too that YHVH Elohim did grant unto mankind their agency, to act for themselves;
16
Therefore, YHVH Elohim hath given you to choose, even as YHVH did give thy father, Adam, and thy mother, Eve, to choose for yourselves, good from evil.
17
And thus is the agency of mankind, and the condemnation of the world:
18
Mankind is and was from before the beginning of this creation, and being given the light, death must come to they who receive not that light.
19
¶ And now, I shall tell thee that the image of that tree shall be carved upon the mantel of righteousness with the two symbols (letters) to represent that tree as seen looking up into the heavens, and as it is seen when looking down upon the earth.
20
¶ And now, I see that you do have the herbs of the apothecary made into that holy ointment, even as Moses and Zipporah were instructed;
21
Therefore, you shall use it to anoint thy cloak, to make it holy unto YHVH, and thou shall fast for these seven days,
22
¶ And it shall not be for you to eat of any meat, nor anything that cometh from a living thing, neither meat, nor milk, nor eggs, nor fish, nor honey;
23
Yea, but thou shall eat the meat of the plants and touch nothing that is unclean.
24
¶ And thou shall bathe every night, washing thy hands in salt three times a day; once in the morning, once in the mid-day, and once in the evening, before thou should bathe.
25
And thou shall keep your thoughts pure, and speak peace with all that cross thy path, and I shall return unto thee in time and instruct thee further.
26
¶ And so it was that I did fast, even as I was instructed, and I did meditate upon the Torah daily,
27
And so I did study from the words that were passed down from mouth to ear, and from the writings of the Torah upon the night sky.
28
And in my study of that Torah, given us by YHVH, our Elohim, in His great mercy, and in showering us with His great love, I did see that Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh did speak, and so everything is.
29
Therefore, Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh, the Creator, is The One Who Bestows, and we the creation are she who doth receive:
30
And this then is the condescension (Hebrew: צמצום, tzimtzum) of YHVH Elohim,
31
And by His Grace (teshuvah) mankind is given the power to both receive of the goodness of YHVH, and to grant mercy unto the creation in His name, that we take not the name of YHVH upon ourselves in vain.
32
¶ And it came to pass that after so many days, Haniel did come again unto me, and he did ask of my cloak;
33
And so, I did offer to place my cloak in his hand, but Haniel did speak unto me, saying: Nay, but it is holy; therefore place it there before me.
34
Wherefore I did remove it from off of me, and I did place it before him.
35
And he did teach me of the use of it, and did send me to the village, that I might go unto the Priest, so to make an offering of sacrifice that I might give it to feed the poor and the needy.
36
¶ And so it was that as I headed North, to the village I had seen along the way, I did wonder of it, for what should I give for a sacrifice unto YHVH?
37
And I did pitch my tent in the wilderness (Mormon) along the way.
38
¶ And it came to pass that as I did walk along the road, I did find a young ram trapped by the way as rocks had fallen upon him.
39
And I did see and observe that though the rocks had fallen upon the he goat, I saw that his bones were not broken, and that he was fit for sacrifice;
40
Therefore, I did bind him up and take him, the ram YHVH did give unto me for a sacrifice and I did call that place Bethe Hayil YHVH (בית האיל יהוה; House of the Ram of YHVH).
