For it was that I, Eleazar, son of Avelzia who is the son of Necrozania who is the descendant of our mother, Elthia, who herself married Elohizar, that great seer who traveled up from Egypt and established a land and a people of righteousness, therefore, I am and my people are, for we have the teachings of Elohizar, and I have translated them, therefore, I will record the doings of Elohizar first, for the works of my ancient father are the works of Yah El, who is Elohim over the whole of the land. Now, we dwell in Ehyantha, which is to say, the lands which Elohim gave us. For Elohizar traveled far from Germanica, the land of our forefather Mash, who, he himself, was bound to settle in this, our land. Now, Mash settled northwest of Ehyantha, and Elohizar has settled in the lands in which my brother currently dwells, for I live in the lands of Mash, and Ehyalfen dwells in the land which Elohizar lived. Nevertheless, it was that Elohizar settled this land, and so did Mash, and now I, making this record, desire to abridge the writings of Elohizar and the doings of him. And I will also abridge the writings and the doings of Mash, who was our first father, for I have done work among this people, as has my brother. Nevertheless, our works are not compared to our fathers; therefore, to give them great glory, I shall record their works before I record the works of my hand, which are far lesser than the works of my father.
2
Now, here is the genealogy of Elohizar, for Elohizar descended from Ephraim, who was a son of Joseph who ruled over Egypt. Now, Elohizar was the son of Belphast, and Belphast was begotten by Helthaz, who was friends with the servant of Pharaoh. And Helthaz was the son of Johosephat, and Jehosephat was the son of Murfrahm, and now, the father of Murfrahm had two sons, Murfrahm and Bagethel, but the father of them both was named Ephriam, and Ephriam was the son of Joseph, who himself was the son of Jacob the seer, and Jacob the seer was begotten by Isaac, the son of Abraham, who himself was begotten by Terah, and now the ancestry of Abraham is well known.
3
Now, it was that after Belphast had begotten Elohizar, it is said that he raised up his son, who was his only son, for Belfast had no more seed after Elohizar. And Belphast raised up Elohizar and said unto Adonai: Blessed Adon Yah who is El forever, Blessed be your name among the seed of Abraham, for you have continued the seed of Ephriam, for in me, has the seed of Ephraim been blessed, for this son is named El'Yoroi'Zera, which, being interpreted, is the seed of El. And truly, Elohizar was the seed of El, for it came to pass that in his youth were the more part of the children of Israel placed under bondage, and El'Yoroi'Zera refused the bondage, for at this time was the bondage not the bondage of the flesh, but of the bondage of the spirit. Great El, for Israel forsook the El of Abraham and loved more the gods of the Egyptians, for Sekhmet was their god. And it came to pass that El'Yoroi'Zera bowed not down before the gods of the Egyptians, for his father Belphast was of the lineage of Ephriam and had raised his son up in the ways of El Shaddai, Yah, El who is El over the earth. And thus, Elohizar prayed mightily before El Tzavaot and blessed his name, saying: Blessed be the name of Yah El Tzavaot, who gives unto the righteous, blessed are you, Adon Yah. Now, I say blessed are you, for my brothers and my sisters have all strayed away from you, and they have bowed themselves before Sekhmet and Thoth and Set. I shall not do this thing, Oh, Elohim.
4
And when he had said these words, Behold, the Ruach Hakodesh fell upon El'Yoroi'Zera and blessed him, and gave him the keys of his fathers, even Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and Ruach Hakodesh spoke unto the lad, for El'Yoroi'Zera was but merely twelve: Blessed are you, El'Yoroi'Zera, and you shall be blessed among all the seed of Abraham.
5
And the heavens were unfolded to Elohizar and he beheld the beginning of all things and the end of all things, and when he had seen these things, even the visions of his fathers, El'Yoroi'Zera spoke these things unto Yah: Yah, I have seen the beginning from the end, and never had I supposed that my seed would endure, for you have blessed me among all the seed of Abraham my father, and you have said unto me, yet a lad: you are blessed, be blessed, and I know that I shall be, for I have seen my seed, that it shall be many nations, and that my seed shall possess the whole earth, for in me shall the blessings of Abraham be fulfilled which says that his seed shall be as the stars, for my seed shall surely be as the sands of the sea.
6
And now, when El'Yoroi'Zera had spoken these things, he cast himself upon a stone and broke his heart before Yah El and said unto El: My people have all gone astray, my people, my people. They have fled for the gods of the Egyptians, and in these things, I know that they shall be brought into bondage, for they have first brought themselves into spiritual bondage. Oh Elohim, oh Elohim. What may be done?
7
And the Word of YHVH spoke unto Elohizar, saying: Get yourself up and pray before your people, and I shall cause them to see your prayer and hear your cries.
8
And when El'Yoroi'Zera had heard this, he got himself from off of the rock and went unto the habitations of his fathers, and there cast himself upon the ground, saying: Fathers, my brothers and sisters, hear my cries! I have seen your swift demise, for thus El Shaddai has given me sight of.
9
And when he had said these things and many more things, behold, his fathers cast him away, saying: he is but a sick child, for he has surely not seen our demise, for we are great among the Egyptians, and our fathers were beloved by them. Therefore, this child is sick in the mind and has a fever, and thus they cast Elohizar away from them.
10
And Elohizar prayed before Adonai his YHVH again, saying: My fathers have cast me out, saying that I have a fever. Now, oh El Tzavaot, you know that I possess no fever but have said all the words of Your heart.
11
And again, Elohim spake unto the child, saying: Get again into the house of your fathers and proclaim upon them bondage lest they repent of their sins, for I am YHVH their Elohim, and unless they forsake Thoth and Sekhmet, I shall cast them into bondage which shall be a hard bondage, says, Yah Elohim.
12
And when he had heard this, Elohizar got himself off of the rock again and went in unto the place of his fathers. And he proclaimed for all to hear of the certain bondage which Adonai would cast them into lest they repent of their sins.
13
Now, some few of them began to worry in their hearts, for the young boy had proclaimed unto them bondage and that the Egyptians would grow weary of them and tie them up and cast them into a pit. Nevertheless, the Chief of the house of Ephriam spoke unto Elohizar, saying: Listen not unto this child. Get him hence lest I cause this lad to be slain, for he has spoken against me, who am the descendant of Ephriam, and El YHVH has caused that I shall be a leader unto this people, for I have received of the robe of our father Joseph, for I am his son. And this lad has caused a ruckus; therefore, cast him away that we may be rid of him.
14
Now, Elohizar fled from before the guards of the Chief Priest of Ephriam, and he went unto Manasseh, and there found his cousins. Now the boy, when he had, began to cry unto them, saying: Behold, my family, my fathers have cast me out from their midst for what I have done, for I have prophesied a certain doom upon their heads lest they repent, for they worship Sekhmet. Thus does YHVH Elohim say unto them, they shall be cast into bondage, and they shall be put under a heavy burden, for they love the el of Egypt more than they love the El of their fathers.
15
And the priest of Manasseh who's name was Josephus said unto the boy: Lad, we know that what you say is true, nevertheless, all of Israel follows after the patterns of Ephriam, for Ephriam does lay down and worship at the feet of the Egyptians and of Pharoh, and thus, our seers too have seen the fall that shall become of Ephraim and all of Israel, for all of Israel follows after Ephriam, for Ephriam has been favored.
16
And El'Yoroi'Zera spoke unto the priest of Manasseh and said: Lord, what shall we do that these, our brethren, might not become subject unto the rule of the kings of Egypt, for thus Adonai has shown me.
17
And the priest of Manasseh said: Lad, you shall come into our lodgings and stay with us, for Ephriam seeks your death. And here we shall commune, for we have seers, and we shall seek the word of YHVH.
18
Thus it was that El'Yoroi'Zera, for thus he was called, went into meditation deep with the seers of Manasseh, for they had not sinned against Adonai YHVH as had Ephraim and all of Israel. And when they had done this, they beheld many great things, for they truly saw our day, that the seed of El'Yoroi'Zera would be great, and thus, their hearts were comforted.
19
And YHVH Elohim came unto them in their dream and spoke unto them many great things, insomuch that they know all that they should do. And El'Yoroi'Zera spoke unto the priest of Manasseh, saying: The word of YHVH has spoken a great thing unto me, for I truly know of my seed again, and in this I have found comfort. Nevertheless, I must again go unto all of Israel that they know of the great sin they commit against El.
20
And thus the great priest of Manasseh blessed El'Yoroi'Zera and said: Seed of El, I say unto you be blessed, for you shall be preserved, and lo, all of Israel shall be placed into bondage, you alone shall escape the captivity, for Yah El Shaddai has a great purpose for you, for you shall take with you our records, and the records of Ephriam, and in this way shall the nations of the world be blessed, for though the Egyptians shall curse our records, which are the records of the teachings of our fathers, in you shall they be preserved. Therefore, you shall take these records which are kept by the priests of Ephriam, and you shall bury them in the north parts, and in this way shall they be preserved unto all nations.
21
And when the priest of Manasseh had spoken these words, truly I say that the heavens were opened up unto El'Yoroi'Zera and he beheld the records of Ephriam, that they were kept in the mighty vault which the priests kept. And Yah El opened his mouth, and he prophesied, saying: Truly the Egyptians shall keep our records, except for these which Adonai shall preserve unto the last day.
