Legend became our current Raising. And so....
Jewish Tradition tells us that Noah's three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japeth were
caused to visit the grave of their father to find anything about him to lead to the
secret he took to the grave, The three agreed that if they found nothing, the first
thing to be found would be the secret. They believed that their faith in God
would see them through. They attempted to raise his body but the finger came
away from the joint. The joint came away from the joint. By grasping the elbow,
Noah was raised foot to foot, knee to knee, breast to breast, cheek to cheek and
hand to back. They cried for the help of the Father. One said here is yet marrow

in the bone, the second, but a dry bone, the third, it stinketh. And So...

Noah- Hiram Abiff
Noah's 3 Son's- Three Fellowcraft A Secret
The Lost Word
The first thing found
The first sign given
Faith in God
Faith in God Foot to Foot
Foot to Foot
Knee to Knee
Breast to Breast
Cheek to Cheek
Hand to BacK
Hand to Back

Cried for help from the Father - Invoking God's Name to Raise Candidate
There is marrow in the bone, a dry bone - Brethren, you know the rest!
It Stinketh, the body consumed - The decomposing Body of Hiram Abiff
Finally the Sons of Noah agreed that the first thing found would be the Secret
King Solomon and King Hiram agreed that the first sign given at the grave and
the first word spoken after the body is raised shall be adopted for the regulation
of all Master's Lodges, until future generations shall find the right.
