                  mercy and His patience."

                  61.1 And in those days, I saw long cords given to those Angels and they

                  acquired wings for themselves, and flew, and went towards the north.

                  61.2 And I asked the Angel, saying:


                  “Why did these take the long cords, and go?”  And he said to me:  “They
                  went so that they may measure.”


                  61.3 And the Angel who went with me, said to me:
                  “These will bring the measurements of the righteous, and the ropes of the


                  righteous, to the righteous, that they may rely on the name of the Lord of
                  Spirits for ever and ever.


                  61.4 The chosen will begin to dwell with the chosen, and these

                  measurements will be given to faith, and will strengthen righteousness.

                  61.5 And these measurements will reveal all the secrets of the depths of the

                  Earth, and those who were destroyed by the desert, and those who were

                  devoured by the fish of the sea, and by animals, that they may return and

                  rely on the Day of the Chosen One.  For no one will be destroyed in front

                  of the Lord of Spirits, and no one can be destroyed.”

                  61.6 And all those in the Heavens above received a command, and power,

                  and one voice, and one light like fire was given to them.

                  61.7 And Him, before everything, they blessed, and exalted, and praised in

                  wisdom.  And they showed themselves wise in speech and in the spirit of

                  life.

                  61.8 And the Lord of Spirits set the Chosen One on the throne of his glory,

                  and he will judge all the works of the Holy ones in Heaven above, and in

                  the Balance he will weigh their deeds.

                  61.9 And when he lifts his face to judge their secret ways according to the

                  word of the name of the Lord of Spirits, and their path according to the way

                  of the Righteous Judgment of the Lord Most High, they will all speak with

                  one voice and bless, and praise, and exalt, and glorify, the Name of the
