11. "Hearken, therefore, my Lord, that I may set forth the word in openness. As thy power
hath prophesied through Solomon: 'A stream came forth and became a great wide

flood,'--this is: The light-stream hath spread itself out in the chaos over all the regions of
the emanations of Self-willed.
12. "And again the word which thy power hath spoken through Solomon: 'It tore away all to
itself and led it over the temple,'--that is: It drew all the light-powers out of the
emanations of Self-willed, which they had taken from Pistis Sophia, and poured them
anew into Pistis Sophia.

13. "And again the word thy power hath spoken: 'The dams and buildings could not hold it,'-
-that is: The emanations of Self-willed could not hold the light-stream within the walls of
the darkness of the chaos.

14. "And again the word which it hath spoken: It was led over the whole land and filled all,'--
that is: When Gabriēl and Michaēl had led it over the body of Pistis Sophia, they poured
into her all the lights which the emanations of Self-willed had taken from her, and the
body of her matter shone.

15. "And the word which it hath spoken: 'They who were in the dry sand, drank,'--that is:

16. All in Pistis Sophia whose light had before been taken away, got light.
17. "And the word which it hath spoken: 'Their thirst was quieted and quenched,'--that is:
Her powers ceased to lack the light, because their light, which had been taken from
them, was given them [again].

18. "And again as thy power hath spoken: 'The draught through the Highest was given
them,'--that is: The light was given unto them through the light-stream, which came
forth out of thee, the First Mystery."
19. "And as thy power hath spoken: 'Blessed are the ministers of that draught,'--this is the
word which thou hast spoken: 'Michaēl and Gabriēl, who have ministered, have brought
the light-stream into the chaos and also led it forth again. They will give them the

mysteries of the Light of the Height, they to whom the light-stream is entrusted.'
20. "And again as thy power hath spoken: 'They have refreshed parched lips,'--that is:
Gabriēl and Michaēl have not taken for themselves from the lights of Pistis Sophia,
which they had spoiled from the emanations of Self-willed, but they have poured them
into Pistis Sophia.

21. "And again the word which it hath spoken:
22. They whose power was taken away, have gotten joy of heart,'--that is: All the other
powers of Pistis Sophia, which the emanations of Self-willed have not taken, are become
exceedingly merry and have filled themselves with light from their light-fellows, for
these have poured it into them.
