These are the chiefs of their angels, and the names of the leaders of their hundreds, and the leaders of their fifties, and the leaders of their tens.

These are the secrets of this oath, and by it were they confirmed.

And when their names are called, they return an answer, for ever and ever.

There the treasures of thunder are kept, and the splendour of the lightning.

There are kept the treasures of hail and of frost, the treasures of snow, the treasures of rain and of dew.

And with them he establishes this oath, by which they and their paths are preserved; nor does their progress perish.

Then the Seraphim, the Cherubim, and Ophanin surrounded _it_: these are those who never sleep, but watch the throne of his glory.

This is the first law of the luminaries. The sun _and_ the light arrive at the gates of heaven, which are on the east, and on the west of it at the western gates of heaven.

All these respectively, one after another, are on a level; and numerous windows are on the right and on the left sides of those gates.

All these respectively, one after another, are on a level; and numerous windows are on the right and on the left sides of those gates.

It goes forth through the fourth of those six gates, which are at the rising of the sun.

And in the fourth gate, through which the sun with the moon proceeds, in the first part of it, there are twelve open windows; from which issues out a flame, when they are opened at their proper periods.

And in the fourth gate, through which the sun with the moon proceeds, in the first part of it, there are twelve open windows; from which issues out a flame, when they are opened at their proper periods.

The lengthening of the day and night, and the contraction of the day and night, are made to differ from each other by the progress of the sun.

And thus it goes in and out, neither slackening nor resting; but running on in its chariot by day and by night. It shines with a seventh portion of light from the moon; but the dimensions of both are equal.

Every month at its exit and entrance it becomes changed; and its periods are as the periods of the sun. And when in like manner its light is to exist, its light is a seventh portion from the light of the sun.

On stated months it changes _its_ settings; and on stated months it makes its progress _through_ each _gate_. In two _gates_ the moon sets with the sun, _viz._ in those two gates which are in the midst, in the third and fourth gate. _From the third gate_ it goes forth for seven days, and makes its circuit.

The moon brings on all the years exactly, that their stations may come neither too forwards nor too backwards a single day; but that the years may be changed with correct precision in three hundred and sixty-four days. In three years the days are one thousand and ninety-two; in five years they are one thousand eight hundred and twenty; and in eight years two thousand nine hundred and twelve days.

The moon brings on all the years exactly, that their stations may come neither too forwards nor too backwards a single day; but that the years may be changed with correct precision in three hundred and sixty-four days. In three years the days are one thousand and ninety-two; in five years they are one thousand eight hundred and twenty; and in eight years two thousand nine hundred and twelve days.

To the moon alone belong in three years one thousand and sixty-two days; in five years it has fifty days less _than the sun_, for an addition being made to the _one thousand and_ sixty-two days, in five years there are one thousand seven hundred and seventy days; and the days of the moon in eight years are two thousand eight hundred and thirty-two days.

For its days in eight years are less _than those of the sun by_ eighty days, which eighty days are its diminution in eight years.

For its days in eight years are less _than those of the sun by_ eighty days, which eighty days are its diminution in eight years.

_These are_ the leaders of the chiefs of the thousands, _those_ which _preside_ over all creation, and over all the stars; with the four _days_ which are added and never separated from the place allotted them, according to the complete computation of the year.

_These are_ the leaders of the chiefs of the thousands, _those_ which _preside_ over all creation, and over all the stars; with the four _days_ which are added and never separated from the place allotted them, according to the complete computation of the year.

And these serve four days, which are not computed in the computation of the year.

From these proceed heat over the earth, when they are opened in their stated seasons. They are for the winds, and the spirit of the dew, when in their seasons they are opened; opened in heaven at _its_ extremities.

Many windows also are open on the right and on the left.

One window at a _certain_ season grows extremely hot. So also are there gates from which the stars go forth as they are commanded, and in which they set according to their number.

Three of them are open in the front of heaven, three in the west, three on the right side of heaven, and three on the left. The first three are those which are towards the east, three are towards the north, three behind those which are upon the left, towards the south, and three on the west.

From four of them proceed winds of blessing, and of health; and from eight proceed winds of punishment; when they are sent to destroy the earth, and the heaven above it, all its inhabitants, and all which are in the waters, or on dry land.

From four of them proceed winds of blessing, and of health; and from eight proceed winds of punishment; when they are sent to destroy the earth, and the heaven above it, all its inhabitants, and all which are in the waters, or on dry land.

After these are the winds to the north, which is called the sea. _They proceed_ from three gates. The first gate _is that_ which is on the east, inclining southwards; from this proceed dew, rain, blight, and destruction. From the middle direct gate proceed rain, dew, life, and health. And from the third gate, which is westwards, inclining towards the south, proceed mist, frost, snow, rain, dew, and blight.

After these _in the_ fourth _quarter_ are the winds to the west. From the first gate, inclining northwards, proceed dew, rain, frost, cold, snow, and chill; from the middle gate proceed rain, health, and blessing;

The western wind has the name of diminution, because there all the luminaries of heaven are diminished, and descend.

Two come from the north to the sea, their waters flowing into the Erythræan sea, on the east. And with respect to the remaining four, they take their course in the cavity of the north, _two_ to their sea, the Erythræan sea, and two are poured into a great sea, where also it is said _there is_ a desert.

The names of the sun are these: one Aryares, the other Tomas.

These are the two great luminaries, whose orbs are as the orbs of heaven; and the dimensions of both are equal.

During three months it effects in thirty days _each month_ its period; and during three _more_ months it effects it in twenty-nine days each. _These are the times_ in which it effects its decrease in its first period, and in the first gate, _namely_, in one hundred and seventy-seven days.

From this is the beginning of the month; and its decrease is effected in the sixth gate in its period, until a hundred and seventy-seven days are completed; according to the mode of computation by weeks, twenty-five _weeks_ and two days.

Blessed are all the righteous; blessed all who walk in _the paths of_ righteousness; in whom no crime _is found_, as in sinners, when all their days are numbered.

Blessed are all the righteous; blessed all who walk in _the paths of_ righteousness; in whom no crime _is found_, as in sinners, when all their days are numbered.

With respect to the progress of the sun in heaven, it enters and goes out of _each_ gate for thirty days, with the leaders of the thousand classes of the stars; with four which are added, and appertain to the four quarters of the year, which conduct them, and accompany them at four periods.

Respecting these, men greatly err, and do not compute them in the computation of every age; for they greatly err respecting them; nor do men know accurately that they are in the computation of the year. But indeed these are marked down for ever; one in the first gate, one in the third, one in the fourth, and one in the sixth:

But indeed these are marked down for ever; one in the first gate, one in the third, one in the fourth, and one in the sixth:

Truly has been stated, and accurately has been computed that which is marked down; for the luminaries, the months, the fixed periods, the years, and the days, Uriel has explained to me, and communicated to me; whom the Lord of all creation, on my account, commanded (according to the might of heaven, and the power which it possesses both by night and by day) to explain _the laws of_ light to man, of the sun, moon, and stars, and of all the powers of heaven, which are turned with their respective orbs.

These are the names of those who conduct them, who watch and enter in their seasons, according to their ordinance in their periods, in their months, in _the times of_ their influence, and in their stations.

These leaders of a thousand are in the midst of the conductors, and the conductors are added each behind his station, and their conductors make the separation. These are the names of the conductors, who separate the four quarters of the year, who are appointed _over them_: Melkel, Helammelak,

These are the three who follow after the conductors of the classes _of stars_; each following after the three conductors of the classes, which themselves follow after those conductors of the stations, who divide the four quarters of the year.

All the days of his influence, _during_ which he rules, are ninety-one days.

And these are the signs of the days which are seen upon earth. In the days of his influence _there is_ perspiration, heat, and trouble. All the trees become fruitful; the leaf of every tree comes forth; the corn is reaped; the rose and every species of flowers blossoms in the field; and the trees of winter are dried up.

These are the names of the conductors who are under them: Barkel, Zelsabel; and another additional conductor of a thousand is named Heloyalef, the days of whose influence have been completed. The other conductor next after them _is_ Helemmelek, whose name they call the splendid Zahay.

All the days of his light are ninety-one days.

These are the signs of the days upon earth, heat and drought; while the trees bring forth their fruits, warmed and concocted, and give their fruits to dry.

The flocks follow and yean. All the fruits of the earth are collected, with everything in the fields, and the vines are trodden. This takes place during the time of his influence.

From generation to generation shall thy dominion _exist_. All the heavens are thy throne for ever, and all the earth thy footstool for ever and for ever.

All of them were alarmed, and trembled. They cried out after that sheep; and to the other sheep who had been with him, and who was in the midst of them, _saying_, We are not able to stand before our Lord, or to look upon him.

After that, in the sixth week, all those who are in it shall be darkened, the hearts of all of them shall be forgetful of wisdom, and in it shall a man ascend.

How many are the numbers of the stars; and where all the luminaries remain at rest?

And now let me exhort you, my children, to love righteousness, and to walk in it; for the paths of righteousness are worthy of acceptation; but the paths of iniquity shall suddenly fail, and be diminished.

To men of note in their generation the paths of oppression and death are revealed; but they keep far from them, and do not follow them.

Now, too, let me exhort you _who are_ righteous, not to walk in the paths of evil and oppression, nor in the paths of death. Approach them not, that you may not perish; but covet,

Walk in the paths of peace, that you may live, and be found worthy. Retain my words in your inmost thoughts, and obliterate them not from your hearts; for I know that sinners counsel men to commit crime craftily. They are not found in every place, nor does every counsel possess a little of them.

Woe to those who build up their houses with crime; for from their very foundations shall their houses be demolished, and by the sword shall they _themselves_ fall. Those, too, who acquire gold and silver, shall justly and suddenly perish. Woe to you who are rich, for in your riches have you trusted; but from your riches you shall be removed; because you have not remembered the Most High in the days of your prosperity: [you shall be removed, because you have not remembered the Most High in the days of your prosperity.]

You have committed blasphemy and iniquity; and are destined to the day of the effusion of blood, to the day of darkness, and to the day of the great judgment.

You shall not fear those who trouble you; for restoration shall be yours; a splendid light shall shine around you, and the voice of tranquillity shall be heard from heaven. Woe to you, sinners; for your wealth makes you resemble saints, but your hearts reproach you, _knowing_ that you are sinners. This word shall testify against you, for the remembrance of crime.

The righteous are confident that sinners will be disgraced, and perish in the day of iniquity.

You are not like them who in this respect witness against you; you are associates of sinners.

You are not like them who in this respect witness against you; you are associates of sinners.

Woe unto you, sinners, who in the midst of the sea, and on dry land, are those against whom an evil record exists. Woe to you who squander silver and gold, not obtained in righteousness, and say, We are rich, possess wealth, and have acquired everything which we can desire.

Woe unto you, sinners, who in the midst of the sea, and on dry land, are those against whom an evil record exists. Woe to you who squander silver and gold, not obtained in righteousness, and say, We are rich, possess wealth, and have acquired everything which we can desire.

Now then will we do whatsoever we are disposed to do; for we have amassed silver; our barns are full, and the husbandmen of our families are like overflowing water.

Now then will we do whatsoever we are disposed to do; for we have amassed silver; our barns are full, and the husbandmen of our families are like overflowing water.

Now then will we do whatsoever we are disposed to do; for we have amassed silver; our barns are full, and the husbandmen of our families are like overflowing water.

And now I swear to you, ye crafty, as well as simple ones; that you, often contemplating the earth, you _who are_ men, clothe yourselves more elegantly than married women, and both together more so than unmarried ones, everywhere _arraying yourselves_ in majesty, in magnificence, in authority, and in silver: but gold, purple, honour, and wealth, like water, flow away.

Erudition therefore and wisdom are not theirs. Thus shall they perish, together with their riches, with all their glory, and with their honours;

I have sworn to you, ye sinners, by the holy and the Great One, that all your evil deeds are disclosed in the heavens; and that none of your oppressive acts are concealed and secret.

I have sworn to you, ye sinners, by the holy and the Great One, that all your evil deeds are disclosed in the heavens; and that none of your oppressive acts are concealed and secret.

Now therefore know that you are destined to the day of destruction; nor hope that sinners shall live; but in process of time you shall die; for you are not marked for redemption;
