they are; the twelve æons will count for you as the darkness of darknesses, and ye shall
look at the twelve æons, how it [sc. their region] will have for you the likeness of a speck
of dust because of the great distance it is far distant from it, and because of the great

which they are; the thirteen æons will count for you as the darkness of darknesses. And

and all the spheres and all the others in which they are; they will have for you the
condition of a speck of dust because of the great distance it [sc. their region] is distant

then the Light-land will count for you as the light of the sun which is in the world of
men.
15. And if ye look upon the Light-land, then will it count for you as a speck of dust because

of the great distance the Light-land is distant from it, and because of the greatness [by
which] it is considerably greater than the former."
