Chapter 3


1

And it was that El'Yoroi'Zera poured his heart out for the sake of his fathers which were of the tribe of Ephriam, for he knew that they had forsaken their Elohim.

2

And while he was in the midst of his prayer, there came a Malach of Yah unto him. And the Malach spoke, saying: Child of El, raise your head and lift up your voice onto YHVH, for YHVH has delivered the records of your fathers into your hand for the sake of your seed. And it came to pass that El'Yoroi'Zera beheld a mighty earthquake that it shook the land, and when it had, dust covered the face of the land, and the record vaults which were closed unto the people were opened.

3

And the Malach said: Seer of El, go unto the Levites and unto the Zebulonites and preach unto them, for they shall flee with you into the northern parts, and those righteous from Manasseh will I lead unto other lands, and in this way, not all of the children of Israel shall be subject to bondage.

4

And when the Malach had promised these things, El'Yoroi'Zera raised up his voice unto YHVH in praise, saying: Blessed be the name of YHVH, for he has promised our fathers, many things, and he does promise me many more things, and my promises are the promises of my fathers fulfilled. And this was El'Yoroi'Zera's prayer of thanksgiving, and this prayer is still had among us to this day.

5

First, El'Yoroi'Zera went unto the Zebulonites who dwelled in the northern parts of the land of Egypt, and he came unto their high priest and spoke, saying: YHVH has shown unto me many great things, for I am his servant.

6

And the high priest of Zebulon prayed not and cast El'Yoroi'Zera away, for he thought him mad. Nevertheless, there were those in the streets who want to hear the things of YHVH, and thus El'Yoroi'Zera spoke unto them all the things of YHVH and thus was the promise fulfilled in which the Malach told El'Yoroi'Zera that the children of Zebulon would accompany him into the northern parts, for truly the people of Zebulon believed on his words and they sought from that day the face of YHVH. And there were those that followed him from Zebulon.

7

And it came to pass that El'Yoroi'Zera led them unto the habitations of Manasseh, for Manasseh was not wicked. And the righteous among the seed of Zebulon was taken in by Manasseh and were adopted in as was El'Yoroi'Zera, and in this way did they become one.

8

And when this, it came to pass that El'Yoroi'Zera took his journeyings into the land of the Levites, and he prayed with them, and they, or the more part of them, did not cast him out. Nevertheless, they did not follow him, for while they knew him to be righteous, so too did their seers know that many of them must dwell for a time in bondage in that all righteousness might be fulfilled. Therefore, only a very few from the tribe of Levi left Egypt with El'Yoroi'Zera. And those are our fathers, as are those from Zebulon in part. Nevertheless, the more part of us are of the tribe of Ephriam.

9

And it came to pass that when El'Yoroi'Zera had been blessed by the high chief of Levi, whose name was Amram, he took again those with him and returned unto the house of Manasseh. And when he had done this, YHVH blessed El'Yoroi'Zera and said unto him: Because of this you have done, you shall be blessed among all your people. Thus it is that I, El Yah, proclaim unto you the blessings of Joseph and the blessings of Ephriam, which says that he shall be a light unto all the nations and a ruler among them. Therefore, I name you Ephriam, El'Yoroi'Zera, that your name might be had and all the nations of the world; know that it was you whom I led away from Egypt and bestowed upon you the blessings of Ephriam.

10

And from that day, YHVH blessed El'Yoroi'Zera, for El'Yoroi'Zera had become the inheritor of the blessings of the tribe of Ephriam.

11

And YHVH said unto El'Yoroi'Zera: Make haste to the house of your fathers, for I shall soon send the earthquake, and when I do, you shall sneak inside under the cover of dust, and I shall conceal you from your fathers that all righteousness may be preserved in you. And thus you shall sneak into the storehouse and remove from it the records of Ephriam that they might be had no longer among the children of Yisra'el, but shall be had among your people who are the seed of Joseph, and in this way I shall preserve these records, and they shall not be destroyed from off the face of the earth by the Egyptians who shall surly cast this people into prison.

12

And El'Yoroi'Zera made haste unto the place of his fathers, and when he had come to the land of his fathers, there came a great shaking such as the people had not seen. And it cast the dust of the earth into the air, insomuch that all things were clouded unto the people. Nevertheless, El'Yoroi'Zera could see, for YHVH made the way clear from before him. And it was that YHVH led the man unto the storehouse of the prophets, which had been cracked asunder that El'Yoroi'Zera may enter therein.

13

And when he had come to the place of records, he beheld that there were many, even so many that he could not count them, for he had never before beheld the record vault of his fathers.

14

And the Malach of YHVH came unto him, saying: Take as many of these records as I shall show unto you, and in due course I shall give you leave to scribe these things upon the earth that they may never be destroyed. Nevertheless, for now, choose from among these those that I shall show you.

15

Then El'Yoroi'Zera beheld many white lights that they illuminated the room from the dust, and each light appeared above a scroll, and the number of the lights were thirty and two. Therefore, El'Yoroi'Zera chose from among the records those thirty and two scrolls, and those are the records which we have called HaTorah of YHVH, for they are the laws and the remembrances of YHVH unto our fathers. And when he had taken from these records, he caused that the stone be closed from behind him in that none from Ephriam may know that YHVH had given him their records.

16

And it came to pass that Yah El led him back through the dust and the storms which had been caused by the mighty quake, insomuch that he returned back unto the place of Manasseh, where the righteous from the tribes of Israel had taken refuge. And he spoke unto the chief priests and unto the righteous, saying: I have retrieved the records which our Father Abraham caused to be written, for truly they contain a record of the genealogy of our fathers, and they also contain much that is needed for the sanctification of this people, therefore we shall not want.

17

And the chief priest of Manasseh said unto El'Yoroi'Zera: Before you depart, will you please allow our scribes to make a copy of the records which you are taking that they might be preserved among our people?

18

Thus it was that the scribes and the learned of Manasseh copied the records which El'Yoroi'Zera had taken, and they delivered the writings unto the people of Manasseh. And we know that they still do have these records, and many copies of them, for they have been contained upon plates of brass, and upon tablets of stone, and upon papyri, insomuch that they have been had for many generations.

19

And when El'Yoroi'Zera had taken the writings of his fathers back unto himself, he dwelled at the house of Manasseh for five more years, he and the righteous with him, and they tried, even all of them, for five more years to convert as many as would come, nevertheless, the repentant were exceedingly few and thus we see that the people of Israel were cast into bondage, oh El.
