For men were not born for this, thus with pen and with ink to confirm their faith;

But by this their knowledge they perish, and by this also _its_ power consumes _them_.

By this oath the sun and moon complete their progress, never swerving from the command _given_ to them for ever and ever.

By this oath the stars complete their progress;

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

They glorify with all their power of praise; and he sustains them in all that _act of_ thanksgiving; while they laud, glorify, and exalt the name of the Lord of spirits for ever and ever.

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

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

Great was their joy.

According to their ranks of corruption shall they be imprisoned, and all their works shall disappear from the face of the earth; nor thenceforward shall there be any to corrupt; for the Son of man has been seen, sitting on the throne of his glory.

From that time I was not drawn in the midst of them; but he seated me between two spirits, between the north and the west, where the angels received their ropes, to measure out a place for the elect and the righteous.

With thee shall be their habitations, with thee their lot; nor from thee shall they be separated for ever and ever.

With thee shall be their habitations, with thee their lot; nor from thee shall they be separated for ever and ever.

The book of the revolutions of the luminaries of heaven, according to their respective classes, their respective powers, their respective periods, their respective names, the places where they commence their progress, and their respective months, which Uriel, the holy angel who was with me, explained to me; he who conducts them. The whole account of them, according to every year of the world for ever, until a new work shall be effected, which will be eternal.

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.

Their stations I wrote down as he showed them to me.

I wrote down their months, as they occur, and the appearance of their light, until it is completed in fifteen days.

I wrote down their months, as they occur, and the appearance of their light, until it is completed in fifteen days.

Thus I beheld their stations, as according to the fixed order of the months the sun rises and sets.

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.

Conductors of the days and nights: the sun, the moon, the stars, and all the ministers of heaven, which make their circuit with all the chariots of heaven.

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.

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.

Twelve gates I beheld in heaven, at the extremities of the earth, through which the sun, moon, and stars, and all the works of heaven, proceed at their rising and setting.

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.

After these proceed the south winds through three principal gates; through their first gate, which inclines eastwards, proceeds a hot wind.

All their laws, all their _infliction_ of punishment, and the health _produced_ by them, have I explained to thee, my son Mathusala.

All their laws, all their _infliction_ of punishment, and the health _produced_ by them, have I explained to thee, my son Mathusala.

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.

When that _their_ visible situation is completed. Such is the appearance and likeness of every luminary, which Uriel, the great angel who conducts them, showed to me.

And all things have I revealed to thee. Thou seest the sun, the moon, and those which conduct the stars of heaven, which cause all their operations, seasons, and arrivals to return.

Their seed shall be backward in their prolific soil; and everything done on earth shall be subverted, and disappear in its season. The rain shall be restrained, and heaven shall stand still.

Their seed shall be backward in their prolific soil; and everything done on earth shall be subverted, and disappear in its season. The rain shall be restrained, and heaven shall stand still.

In those days the fruits of the earth shall be late, and not flourish in their season; and in their season the fruits of the trees shall be withholden.

In those days the fruits of the earth shall be late, and not flourish in their season; and in their season the fruits of the trees shall be withholden.

The moon shall change its laws, and not be seen at its proper period. But in those days shall heaven be seen; and barrenness shall take place in the borders of the great chariots in the west. _Heaven_ shall shine more than _when illuminated by_ the orders of light; while many chiefs among the stars of authority shall err, perverting their ways and works.

Those shall not appear in their season, who command them, and all the classes of the stars shall be shut up against sinners.

The thoughts of those who dwell on earth shall transgress within them; and they shall be perverted in all their ways.

And they said unto me, Explain everything to Mathusala thy son; and inform all thy children, that no flesh shall be justified before the Lord; for he is their Creator.

Wisdom have I given to thee, to thy children, and thy posterity, that they may transmit to their children, for generations for ever, this wisdom in their thoughts; and that those who comprehend _it_ may not slumber, but hear with their ears; that they may learn this wisdom, and be deemed worthy of eating _this_ wholesome food.

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.

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.

This is the ordinance of the stars, which set in their places, in their seasons, in their periods, in their days, and in their months.

Four conductors of them first enter, who separate the four quarters of the year. After these, twelve conductors of their classes, who separate the months and the year _into_ three hundred and sixty-four _days_, with the leaders of a thousand, who distinguish between the days, as well as between the four additional ones; which, _as_ conductors, divide the four quarters of the year.

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 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.

Hills were sinking upon hills, lofty trees were gliding off from their trunks, and were in the act of being projected, and of sinking into the abyss.

After that I perceived _other_ large and black cows; and behold all of them changed their stalls and pastures, while their young began to lament one with another. Again I looked in _my_ vision, and surveyed heaven; when behold I saw many stars which descended, and projected themselves from heaven to where the first star was,

At these all the cows were alarmed and terrified; when they began biting with their teeth, swallowing, and striking with their horns.

But the wolves began to frighten and oppress them, while they destroyed their young ones.

And they left their young in torrents of deep water.

Now the sheep began to cry out on account of their young, and fled for refuge to their Lord. One however, which was saved, escaped, and went away to the wild asses.

Now the sheep began to cry out on account of their young, and fled for refuge to their Lord. One however, which was saved, escaped, and went away to the wild asses.

I beheld the sheep moaning, crying, and petitioning their Lord,

With all their might, until the Lord of the sheep descended at their voice from _his_ lofty habitation; went to them; and inspected them.

With all their might, until the Lord of the sheep descended at their voice from _his_ lofty habitation; went to them; and inspected them.

Afterwards I perceived the wolves greatly prevailing over the sheep with their whole force. The sheep cried out; and their Lord came to them.

Afterwards I perceived the wolves greatly prevailing over the sheep with their whole force. The sheep cried out; and their Lord came to them.

I then looked at them, until they departed from the wolves. The eyes of the wolves were blind, who went out and followed them with all their might. But the Lord of the sheep proceeded with them, and conducted them.

Then that lake became divided; the water standing up on both sides before their face.

And while their Lord was conducting them, he placed himself between them and the wolves.

But the sheep passed over this water, proceeding to a wilderness, which was without both water and grass. And they began to open their eyes and to see.

Afterwards I perceived their Lord standing before them, with an aspect terrific and severe.

Their Lord however was moved with great indignation against them; and when that sheep had learned _what had happened_,

And became desirous of returning to their fold.

And afterwards began to kill them. They were terrified at his countenance. Then he caused those which had wandered to return; who went back to their fold.

I perceived also that the sheep which proceeded to meet this sheep, their conductor, died. I saw, too, that all the great sheep perished, while smaller ones rose up in their place, entered into a pasture, and approached a river of water.

I perceived also that the sheep which proceeded to meet this sheep, their conductor, died. I saw, too, that all the great sheep perished, while smaller ones rose up in their place, entered into a pasture, and approached a river of water.

Then that sheep, their conductor, who became a man, was separated from them, and died.

I saw also that they became satiated; that their house was in the midst of a delectable territory: and that sometimes their eyes were opened, and that sometimes they were blind; until another sheep arose and conducted them. He brought them all back; and their eyes were opened.

I saw also that they became satiated; that their house was in the midst of a delectable territory: and that sometimes their eyes were opened, and that sometimes they were blind; until another sheep arose and conducted them. He brought them all back; and their eyes were opened.

I saw also that they became satiated; that their house was in the midst of a delectable territory: and that sometimes their eyes were opened, and that sometimes they were blind; until another sheep arose and conducted them. He brought them all back; and their eyes were opened.

Then their Lord sent the _former_ sheep _again_ to a still different sheep, and raised him up to be a ram, and to conduct them instead of that sheep who had laid aside his glory.

Again I saw that those sheep wandered, and went various ways, forsaking that their house;

And that their Lord called to some among them, whom he sent to them.

But the Lord of the sheep delivered him from their hands, and made him ascend to him, and remain with him.
