1
I am Shem, I have been taught these parables, I have written them, oh my Master, as you have instructed. I know not the reason.
2
I am Shem who have been named such by you, oh Elohim. Whyfore have you named me such?
3
I am but a sinner, oh Elohim. YHVH Elohim have mercy upon me.
4
I desire you. All men must desire you. I come into your palace of refuge, a place hidden from the storms.
5
Outside the winds blow. Inside there is a fire, a warm hearth. You have made me good food and keep me warm.
6
The winter gales, they blow and I am sore afraid.
7
I am Shem whom you have named.
8
My Father Is Shem. You have named him a great man in the land. All shall be called after him!
9
You have taken me in as a beggar. I am nothing to you, oh Great One!
10
Why have you taken in a lowly beggar such as I? Am I not great?
11
And YHVH spoke unto me many great things concerning all things. And these are the things which he spoke.
12
Thus says YHVH: You are Mash, my son, I have taken you in like an infant caught out in the cold. My house is warm and without draft. I shall care for you as an infant. As my own infant.
13
I have cooked for you a great feast. Partake of the feast, my son, for I have made you great. You are Shem, my friend. Partake of the meal and sit by the hearth. Be warm, for outside the winds blow.
14
And when YHVH had said these things unto me, I beheld a great woman that she entered into the room, and she wore a silken dress and had upon her head a bow of ivory and of hemp. She wore a scarlet dress, and upon her finger was a ring of great size. She saw all things with that ring. Nothing was kept from before her.
15
And I knelt and cried unto her: Mother, Mother, care for me, for I am nothing, and the world is cold and seeks to destroy me.
16
I have taken the sword made from the thorns of the hawthorn tree. I have taken it and smitten my enemies. They are all dead and none remain.
17
Mother, Mother, take me in. Let me feed from you. I am hungry, Mother.
18
Carry me into your womb. Birth me into a new man. Make me a great thing!
19
And the Mother, the woman covered in scarlet spoke unto me, saying: I am the first and the last, the Aleph Tav. Before me there were none else and there are none after me.
20
I am the Mother of all. All come from me and I give birth unto all of creation.
21
I am the great womb in which you now strive. There is a man child whom I shall send unto you. I have given birth to him and he shall make a great name in the land.
22
It shall come to pass that he will be known throughout all lands. HaShem shall be known throughout all lands.
23
Take his name to all lands.
24
I will send him. He shall be born in the wilderness and shall be called after me. I will take him, my son, and shall hide him in the wilderness.
25
There are ravaging beasts who shall want to destroy him. A terrible dragon.
26
He shall be hunted. Leviathan comes up from the sea to devour.
27
In the wilderness he shall be kept and he shall know no harm.
28
In a time, he shall grow and become a man-child, and he shall come from his abode which I, even I, have hidden him.
29
He shall come unto Leviathan, that underwater serpent. He shall slay him.
30
Oh my son, look at you! You stand there in the cold, tied to a stone, tied to a tree!
31
Leviathan desires you. Desires to devour.
32
Shall I let leviathan devour you?
33
Behold the dross of the people of the earth.
34
I said: Mother, Mother, I cannot, for there is too much. Shall I be like unto them? To be devoured by this great beast?
35
Then said the Mother: Shall I not send my son whom I have raised in the wilderness?
36
And said I: You shall.
37
And the Mother said: I see you chained to that rock and others tied to a tree. They drown. A beast comes searching for them. For them he searches.
38
Shall I let you be consumed?
39
And said I: I see it shall not be so!
40
I beheld the Mother that she took the ivory crown from her head. And I beheld a child mighty and strong, that she gave the crown unto the child.
41
And the child wore the crown seven years and a month.
42
I, Shem, have seen these things!
43
Oh you people who are chained to a tree! You shall be consumed.
44
I write after the manner of the beast who shall slay you.
45
He circles in the waters, fire boils from his lips. Lies spew forth like flames.
46
His flames shall consume you.
47
He circles in the great deep, a deeping giant. He knows not the sun.
48
There is with him another, a snake slithering in the grass.
49
He has no legs, no feet of which to speak.
50
There are no feathers across his body.
51
The deeping serpent and the slithering serpent, they are one!
52
They come to devour the child of the Mother.
53
The Mother hides her child away.
54
Why do you stand, waiting to be consumed?
55
Shall the Mother not hide you away?
56
Remove the chains and hide away! Leviathan shall come to consume you.
57
His teeth are like razors, his claws are like spears.
58
In the deep he swims, his breath causes the waters to boil.
59
When he stands, he makes men awe and wonder. All fear him.
60
His skin is like adamant; it cannot be pierced.
61
The slithering snake is cunning. He cannot be seen. He is a viper with fangs.
62
He shall strike at your heel! You have power to crush his head, oh man!
63
Remove from that rock, from that tree. You shall not survive.
64
Leviathan comes to devour. Slithering serpent comes to strike with venom.
65
Look! The man-child of the Mother comes.
66
You cannot flee. He shall slay the beasts.
67
He has power to crush the head of the serpent.
68
He has been given power to slay leviathan.
69
The underwater beast shall drown before the man-child.
70
The serpent in the grass shall flee.
71
Shall he break your chains, oh child of Ghenom?
72
Allow him to break your chains. You are pinned to that rock.
73
You hang from that tree. Let him sever your ties!
74
I beheld the man-child as he were standing in the grass.
75
In his right hand he carried a sword with which he smote the beast of the waters.
76
In his left he carried a staff, a large cross with which he walked.
77
With that staff he had power over the earth seven days.
78
The earth was his and the staff gave him authority.
79
I saw him that he touched the staff to the ground.
80
You must see all the spirits of the field, how they rejoice at the touch.
81
The staff he carries was given him by his Father.
82
He has a Mother, he has a Father.
83
His Mother birthed him and gave him life.
84
His Father set him up to rule and reign.
85
With the sword he slays the tongues of the wicked.
86
With the staff he parts the waters before him.
87
I saw him take the staff, the staff with the cross-beam.
88
I saw him take it and with it slay the snake in the grass.
89
I beheld the skies that they thundered seven days.
90
I saw the Son that he ruled with his staff.
91
He conquered with his sword.
92
None stood before him.
93
I beheld all peoples of the earth that they were before him. He has a twin, one like unto him.
94
They each had a staff and a sword.
95
They shall go forth like a conqueror. They shall slay the wicked.
96
There is a serpent, a beast in the waters. He shall come forward, his teeth like swords.
97
The two brothers shall slay him, the one with the sword and the other with the staff.
98
I beheld the Mother who had birthed the man-child.
99
She said unto me: Take up the sword which you have been given. Take up your sword and aid them, for that beast is ferocious.
100
I, Mash, who am Shem, took up the sword which I had been given and I aided the brothers.
101
There were others.
102
We took our swords and our bows, and our hatches and our slings. I saw spears and sickles come before the beast.
103
All had power to slay the beast.
104
When I had seen this, I beheld a great storm over all the earth that it covered the earth.
105
And I cried unto the Mother whom I had seen.
106
Whyfore is there a storm? Shall we not be destroyed?
107
And I beheld the son, that Man-Child, that he was in the storm.
108
His skin was blue and there was fire in his palm.
109
In his brow I beheld a great torrent.
110
Upon his crown I beheld thorns.
111
At his feet there were stones, and in his left hand he had the waters of the earth.
112
He had all things in his grasp.
113
He carried with him armies of nations. He laid them to rest.
114
None there were that warred before him.
115
The sword he carried was to cauterize the wounds gained from war.
116
The staff in his left hand was to bind up every injury and purge it clean.
117
I saw wounds with which he was wounded.
118
I saw five wounds. One to the head, to the chest, to the shoulders, to the hands, to the feet. He bore those wounds seven years.
119
Now, when he had born these wounds seven years, it came to pass that there were those that came unto him, saying: Father, shall we not take these wounds for you that you might rest?
120
And he said unto those few: Nay, you shall not bear them now, for it is given me to bear them. Nevertheless, the time will come when you shall drink of the cup from which I drink. And when you do this, you shall be saved in the kingdom of the All father and All Mother. Ehyah.
121
And now I, Mash, beheld this son, that he was bright and glorious above all, and he came and stood before me, having a red sash across his eyes, and I beheld that he had antlers upon his head as a deer. Behind him trailed every animal of the forests, and every fowl of the air. They flocked unto him like a flock to their shepherd.
122
And I beheld this Son that he taught all the creatures of the hills and the marshes, the fowls of the air and the beasts of the forests. He taught them even as a man teaches another. And so great was he that even stones drew near unto him to hear of his words.
123
And I Mash, beheld the antlers which sat upon his head and the sash across his eyes and the stones that hung from his head and I desired to be like unto him, for it was that I had been given a sash with which to see.
124
And thus, I carried the sash which I had been given and casted it into the fire that it might be for incense unto Ehyah. And I cried with a loud voice, saying: Son, Son, I behold fowl and deer and elk and all creatures before you that they come near unto you for teaching. I behold even the stones and the dust that they do come unto you for instruction.
125
Oh great Antlered One! Great one whom I have seen. Bless me, your servant with your teachings, for I have beheld the great wounds upon your hands and feet and upon your head.
126
And it came to pass that when I had said these things, behold, the Mother of this Son came near unto me having also a crown of antlers upon her head, and before her eyes were beads and stones, the kind that glitter in the sun. And I wept for her beauty.
127
And she said unto me, take of the raiment of the deer, for it has been given unto you that you might see.
128
And thus, I took of the raiment of the deer.
129
And now, the Son took up his feet which were like the feet of deer, for he was as if one of the great deer. And thus the Son spoke unto me, saying: Take up the antlers of the moose and place them upon your head, great paddles. These shall be unto you like bowls that you might catch the waters as they fall like rain.
130
And thus, I took up two great antlers, even paddles of moose, and I placed them upon my head.
131
And the Mother spoke unto me, saying: Take up the stones which inhabit the lands round about, and take up for beads, seven carnelian, seven turquoise, seven peridot, seven beryl, and seven garnets. Take these thirty and five beads and drape them from your head that they might be a protection and a help meet for you.
132
And it came to pass that I, Mash did take up all the stones which I had been instructed and did hang them from my head, thirty and five beads.
133
And now the Son came unto me, saying: Take the bones of the moose who has given his life for you. Take up the bones and with them make a great rattle that when you dance for your YHVH that you might be heard of the heavens.
134
And it came to pass that I, Mash, who am Shem, took up the thigh bone and the smaller bones from the back and the ribs and tied them about the leg bone of the moose. And now, when I had done this, behold, the great Deer came near unto me and blessed all that I had done and spoke, but not as men speak, but as the fauna speak.
135
And the great deer that wanders the skies said unto me: Take the instruments which you have made and cast them into the fires of the Ruach HaKodesh take of them and cause that they burn with a great fire
136
And thus, I, Mash, cast the instruments and the seeing object which I had been caused to make and called forth fire from on high that all burned.
137
I Mash beheld all these things. I sing and dance before my Ehya and he sings and dances before me.
138
Great rattles and drums are heard in the mountains. There are none that can understand.
139
My people, my people, hear the cries of they who sing! Dance before the Ehya! Sing and dance their praises and never stop!.
140
Continue long after you are tired. For such is a prayer unto your YHVH.
141
Thus is the manner of our singing.
142
Ehya, Ehyah, Ehya-te-Ehya. Waltha, Ya hi ya te. Waltha Athal Ehya-Te. (Praise be unto our God forever and ever. His name we praise)
143
And thus we sing, and we are heard in the lands round about.
144
Many come near unto us. They are curious about our doings.
145
I prophecy a great thing unto them: Hear me, oh people of the lands of Nod, hear me and rejoice. For unto you comes Mashiach (Anointed) and I have been sent by Ehya, he who is like unto the great deer!
146
Hear his words, oh people, for you have all been led astray, all led astray like worm-eaten dogs who go pining after your masters.
147
Seek after your masters no longer, they are like worms unto you, they who consume your flesh.
148
Do you not know? Let me speak a mystery.
149
There is a green hill in a far distant land, a one great and curious to behold. There is upon that hill a man who guards a bridge, now, this as an odd bridge, for all who come up unto it seem to disappear.
150
Now, when I had spoken these words, there were many who were a-frightened. Many who could not hear.
151
But I, Mash, was given a task. For YHVH had come near unto me, saying: Take this sword which you have been given, take it and with it slay the wicked that there be none that stand before you!
152
And thus, I, Mash have taken that sword and have slain the wicked.
153
I, Mash, stood before the host and slayed them with my tongue and the many legions fell before Ehya! None can stand against him. I am the vessel of Ehya! None can stand before him.
154
Armies and nations fell before Him even that there were no wicked left in the land, for they were all slain.
155
And I beheld a host come up from the land southwards, the lands east, west and north. They came from all directions.
156
I beheld that they carried with them Gazelem, stones. I Mash carried Gazelem, a stone.
157
YHVH came before that great host, saying: Take up Gazelem and set them in a great large circle, the likes of which have not been seen. Take up Gazelem and they shall ascend you.
