them

The wolves however perceived not the sheep, but went into the midst of the lake, following them, and running after them into the lake of water.

The wolves however perceived not the sheep, but went into the midst of the lake, following them, and running after them into the lake of water.

Then the water of the lake returned, and that suddenly, according to its nature. It became full, and was raised up, until it covered the wolves. And I saw that all of them which had followed the sheep perished, and were drowned.

Then I beheld the Lord of the sheep inspecting them, and giving them water and grass.

The sheep _already mentioned_ was proceeding _with them_, and conducting them.

The sheep _already mentioned_ was proceeding _with them_, and conducting them.

And when he had ascended the top of a lofty rock, the Lord of the sheep sent him to them.

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

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.

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.

Then that sheep who conducted them went away, and ascended the top of the rock;

When the _rest of the_ sheep began to grow blind, and to wander from the path which he had shown them; but he knew it not.

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

He descended from the top of the rock, and coming to them, found that there were many,

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 likewise saw there in the vision, that this sheep became a man, built an house for the Lord of the sheep, and made them all stand in that house.

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

And that there arose other sheep, all of whom conducted them, instead of those who were dead, and who had _previously_ conducted them.

And that there arose other sheep, all of whom conducted them, instead of those who were dead, and who had _previously_ conducted them.

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 dogs, foxes, and wild boars began to devour them, until _again_ another sheep arose, the master of the flock, one of themselves, a ram, to conduct them. This ram began to butt on every side those dogs, foxes, and wild boars, until they all perished.

Then dogs, foxes, and wild boars began to devour them, until _again_ another sheep arose, the master of the flock, one of themselves, a ram, to conduct them. This ram began to butt on every side those dogs, foxes, and wild boars, until they all perished.

But the _former_ sheep opened his eyes, and saw the ram in the midst of them, who had laid aside his glory.

And he began to strike the sheep, treading upon them, and behaving himself without dignity.

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.

That ram also struck and killed all the wild beasts, so that they could not again prevail in the midst of the sheep, nor at any time ever snatch them away.

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

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

But these the sheep began to kill. And when one of them was saved from slaughter, he leaped, and cried out against those who were desirous of killing him.

He sent also many others to them, to testify, and with lamentations to exclaim against them.

He sent also many others to them, to testify, and with lamentations to exclaim against them.

Again I saw, when some of them forsook the house of their Lord, and his tower; wandering on all sides, and growing blind,

I saw that the Lord of the sheep made a great slaughter among them in their pasture, until they cried out to him in consequence of that slaughter. Then he departed from the place _of his habitation_, and left them in the power of lions, tigers, wolves, and the zeebt, and in the power of foxes, and of every beast.

I saw that the Lord of the sheep made a great slaughter among them in their pasture, until they cried out to him in consequence of that slaughter. Then he departed from the place _of his habitation_, and left them in the power of lions, tigers, wolves, and the zeebt, and in the power of foxes, and of every beast.

And the wild beasts began to tear them.

I saw, too, that he forsook the house of their fathers, and their tower; giving them all into the power of lions to tear and devour them; into the power of every beast.

I saw, too, that he forsook the house of their fathers, and their tower; giving them all into the power of lions to tear and devour them; into the power of every beast.

But he looked on in silence, rejoicing that they were devoured, swallowed up, and carried off; and leaving them in the power of every beast for food. He called also seventy shepherds, and resigned to them _the care of_ the sheep, that they might overlook them;

Saying to them and to their associates, Every one of you henceforwards overlook the sheep, and whatsoever I command you, do; and I will deliver _them_ to you numbered.

Saying to them and to their associates, Every one of you henceforwards overlook the sheep, and whatsoever I command you, do; and I will deliver _them_ to you numbered.

I will tell you which of them shall be slain; these destroy. And he delivered the sheep to them.

I will tell you which of them shall be slain; these destroy. And he delivered the sheep to them.

Then he called to another, and said, Understand, and watch everything which the shepherds shall do to these sheep; for many more of them shall perish than I have commanded.

Of all the destruction _brought about by_ each of the shepherds there shall be an account; and according to the number I will cause a recital to be made before me, how many they have destroyed of their own heads, and how many they have delivered up to destruction, that I may have this testimony against them; that I may know all their proceedings; and that, delivering _the sheep_ to them, I may see what they will do; whether they will act as I have commanded them, or not.

_Of this_, however, they shall be ignorant; neither shalt thou make any explanation to them, neither shalt thou reprove them; but there shall be an account of all the destruction _done_ by them in their respective seasons. Then they began to kill, and destroy more than it was commanded them.

And they left the sheep in the power of lions, so that very many of them were devoured and swallowed up by lions and tigers; and wild boars preyed upon them. That tower they burnt, and overthrew that house.

The shepherds likewise, and their associates, delivered them to all the wild beasts, that they might devour them. Each of them in his season, according to his number, was delivered up; each of them, one with another, was described in a book, how many of them, one with another, were destroyed, in a book.

In like manner also I saw in the vision him who wrote, how he wrote down one, destroyed by the shepherds, every day. He ascended, remained, and exhibited each of his books to the Lord of the sheep, _containing_ all which they had done, and all which each of them had made away with;

But the wild boars hindered them, although they prevailed not.

Thus were they delivered up to the shepherds for a great destruction, who trod them under foot, and devoured them.

Thus were they delivered up to the shepherds for a great destruction, who trod them under foot, and devoured them.

Yet was their Lord silent, until all the sheep in the field were destroyed. The shepherds and the sheep were all mixed together; but they did not save them from the power of the beasts.

Then he who wrote the book ascended, exhibited it, and read it at the residence of the Lord of the sheep. He petitioned him for them, and prayed, pointing out every act of the shepherds, and testifying before him against them all. Then taking the book, he deposited it with him, and departed.

And I observed during the time, that thus thirty-seven shepherds were overlooking, all of whom finished in their respective periods as the first. Others then received them into their hands, that they might overlook them in their respective periods, every shepherd in his own period.

Afterwards I saw in the vision, that all the birds of heaven arrived; eagles, the avest, kites and ravens. The eagle instructed them all.

And I looked, while the sheep were eaten up by the dogs, by the eagles, and by the kites. They neither left them their body, nor their skin, nor their muscles, until their bones alone remained; until their bones fell upon the ground. And the sheep became diminished.

The sheep, however, cried not out to them, neither did they hear what they uttered to them; but were deaf, blind, and obdurate in the greatest degrees.

That they seized one of them; and that tearing the sheep in pieces, they devoured them.

That they seized one of them; and that tearing the sheep in pieces, they devoured them.

He looked at them. Their eyes were wide open; and he cried out to them.

He looked at them. Their eyes were wide open; and he cried out to them.

And besides this, all the eagles, the avest, the ravens and the kites, were still carrying off the sheep, flying down upon them, and devouring them. The sheep were silent, but the dabela lamented and cried out.

And besides this, all the eagles, the avest, the ravens and the kites, were still carrying off the sheep, flying down upon them, and devouring them. The sheep were silent, but the dabela lamented and cried out.

Then the ravens contended, and struggled with them.

They wished among them to break his horn; but they prevailed not over him.

I looked on them, until the shepherds, the eagles, the avest, and the kites came.

Who cried out to the ravens to break the horn of the dabela; to contend with him; and to kill him. But he struggled with them, and cried out, that help might come to him.

I perceived likewise that the Lord of the sheep came to them in wrath, while all those who saw him fled away; all fell down in his tabernacle before his face; while all the eagles, the avest, ravens, and kites assembled, and brought with them all the sheep of the field.

I perceived likewise that the Lord of the sheep came to them in wrath, while all those who saw him fled away; all fell down in his tabernacle before his face; while all the eagles, the avest, ravens, and kites assembled, and brought with them all the sheep of the field.

Then I saw, that the man, who wrote the book at the word of the Lord, opened the book of destruction, of that destruction which the last twelve shepherds wrought; and pointed out before the Lord of the sheep, that they destroyed more than those who preceded them.

I saw also that the Lord of the sheep came to them, and taking in his hand the sceptre of his wrath seized the earth, which became rent asunder; while all the beasts and birds of heaven fell from the sheep, and sunk into the earth, which closed over them.

I saw also that the Lord of the sheep came to them, and taking in his hand the sceptre of his wrath seized the earth, which became rent asunder; while all the beasts and birds of heaven fell from the sheep, and sunk into the earth, which closed over them.

I saw, too, that a large sword was given to the sheep, who went forth against all the beasts of the field to slay them.

Then the Lord called the first seven white ones, and commanded them to bring before him the first of the first stars, which preceded the stars whose form partly resembled that of horses; the first star, which fell down first; and they brought them all before him.

Then the Lord called the first seven white ones, and commanded them to bring before him the first of the first stars, which preceded the stars whose form partly resembled that of horses; the first star, which fell down first; and they brought them all before him.

And he spoke to the man who wrote in his presence, who was one of the seven white ones, saying, Take those seventy shepherds, to whom I delivered up the sheep, and _who_ receiving them killed more of them than I commanded. Behold, I saw them all bound, and all standing before him. First came on the trial of the stars, which, being judged, and found guilty, went to the place of punishment. They thrust them into _a place_, deep, and full of flaming fire, and full of pillars of fire. Then the seventy shepherds were judged, and being found guilty, were thrust into the flaming abyss.

And while all the sheep which were left were in the midst of it, all the beasts of the earth, and all the birds of heaven, fell down and worshipped them, petitioning them, and obeying them in everything.

And while all the sheep which were left were in the midst of it, all the beasts of the earth, and all the birds of heaven, fell down and worshipped them, petitioning them, and obeying them in everything.

All the sheep would have been inclosed in that house, had it been capable of containing them; and the eyes of all were open, gazing on the good One; nor was there one among them who did not behold him.
