Anon., Apocalypse Of Abraham, 11.1-11.3


nanAnd I stood and saw him who had taken my right hand and set me on my feet.


nanThe appearance of the griffin’s body was like sapphire, and the likeness of his face like chrysolite, and the hair of his head like snow


nanand a turban on his head like the appearance of the bow in the clouds, and the closing of his garments [like] purple, and a golden staff [was] in his right hand.
