And (Jacob) rested there with Isaac his father that night, and they ate and drank with joy.,And he made the two sons of Jacob sleep, the one on his right hand and the other on his left and it was counted to him for righteousness.,And Jacob told his father everything during the night, how the Lord had shown him great mercy, and how He had prospered (him in) all his ways, and protected him from all evil.,And Isaac blessed the God of his father Abraham, who had not withdrawn His mercy and His righteousness from the sons of His servant Isaac.,And in the morning Jacob told his father Isaac the vow which he had vowed to the Lord, and the vision which he had seen, and that he had built an altar, and that everything was ready for the sacrifice to be made before the Lord as he had vowed, and that he had come to set him on an ass.,And Isaac said unto Jacob his son: "I am not able to go with thee; for I am old, and not able to bear the way:,go, my son, in peace; for I am one hundred and sixty-five years this day; I am no longer able to journey, set thy mother (on an ass) and let her go with thee.,And I know, my son, that thou hast come on my account, and may this day be blessed on which thou hast seen me alive, and I also have seen thee, my son.,Mayest thou prosper and fulfil the vow which thou hast vowed, and put not off thy vow; for thou wilt be called to account as touching the vow;,now therefore make haste to perform it, and may He be pleased who hath made all things, to whom thou hast vowed the vow.",And he said to Rebecca: "Go with Jacob thy son"; and Rebecca went with Jacob her son, and Deborah with her, and they came to Bethel.,And Jacob remembered the prayer with which his father had blessed him and his two sons, Levi and Judah, and he rejoiced and blessed the God of his fathers, Abraham and Isaac.,And he said: "Now I know that I have an eternal hope, and my sons also, before the God of all;" and thus is it ordained concerning the two; and they record it as an eternal testimony unto them on the heavenly tables how Isaac blessed them. |

After seven days I dreamed a dream in the night;, and behold, a wind arose from the sea and stirred up all its waves., And I looked, and behold, this wind made something like the figure of a man come up out of the heart of the sea. And I looked, and behold, that man flew with the clouds of heaven; and wherever he turned his face to look, everything under his gaze trembled,, and whenever his voice issued from his mouth, all who heard his voice melted as wax melts when it feels the fire., After this I looked, and behold, an innumerable multitude of men were gathered together from the four winds of heaven to make war against the man who came up out of the sea., And I looked, and behold, he carved out for himself a great mountain, and flew up upon it. < br[7, After this I looked, and behold, all who had gathered together against him, to wage war with him, were much afraid, yet dared to fight., And behold, when he saw the onrush of the approaching multitude, he neither lifted his hand nor held a spear or any weapon of war;, but I saw only how he sent forth from his mouth as it were a stream of fire, and from his lips a flaming breath, and from his tongue he shot forth a storm of sparks., All these were mingled together, the stream of fire and the flaming breath and the great storm, and fell on the onrushing multitude which was prepared to fight, and burned them all up, so that suddenly nothing was seen of the innumerable multitude but only the dust of ashes and the smell of smoke. When I saw it, I was amazed., After this I saw the same man come down from the mountain and call to him another multitude which was peaceable., Then many people came to him, some of whom were joyful and some sorrowful; some of them were bound, and some were bringing others as offerings. Then in great fear I awoke; and I besought the Most High, and said,, "From the beginning thou hast shown thy servant these wonders, and hast deemed me worthy to have my prayer heard by thee;, now show me also the interpretation of this dream., For as I consider it in my mind, alas for those who will be left in those days! And still more, alas for those who are not left!, For those who are not left will be sad,, because they understand what is reserved for the last days, but cannot attain it., But alas for those also who are left, and for that very reason! For they shall see great dangers and much distress, as these dreams show., Yet it is better to come into these things, though incurring peril, than to pass from the world like a cloud, and not to see what shall happen in the last days." He answered me and said,, "I will tell you the interpretation of the vision, and I will also explain to you the things which you have mentioned., As for what you said about those who are left, this is the interpretation:, He who brings the peril at that time will himself protect those who fall into peril, who have works and have faith in the Almighty., Understand therefore that those who are left are more blessed than those who have died., This is the interpretation of the vision: As for your seeing a man come up from the heart of the sea,, this is he whom the Most High has been keeping for many ages, who will himself deliver his creation; and he will direct those who are left., And as for your seeing wind and fire and a storm coming out of his mouth,, and as for his not holding a spear or weapon of war, yet destroying the onrushing multitude which came to conquer him, this is the interpretation:, Behold, the days are coming when the Most High will deliver those who are on the earth., And bewilderment of mind shall come over those who dwell on the earth., And they shall plan to make war against one another, city against city, place against place, people against people, and kingdom against kingdom., And when these things come to pass and the signs occur which I showed you before, then my Son will be revealed, whom you saw as a man coming up from the sea., And when all the nations hear his voice, every man shall leave his own land and the warfare that they have against one another;, and an innumerable multitude shall be gathered together, as you saw, desiring to come and conquer him., But he shall stand on the top of Mount Zion., And Zion will come and be made manifest to all people, prepared and built, as you saw the mountain carved out without hands., And he, my Son, will reprove the assembled nations for their ungodliness (this was symbolized by the storm),, and will reproach them to their face with their evil thoughts and the torments with which they are to be tortured (which were symbolized by the flames), and will destroy them without effort by the law (which was symbolized by the fire)., And as for your seeing him gather to himself another multitude that was peaceable,, these are the ten tribes which were led away from their own land into captivity in the days of King Hoshea, whom Shalmaneser the king of the Assyrians led captive; he took them across the river, and they were taken into another land., But they formed this plan for themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the nations and go to a more distant region, where mankind had never lived,, that there at least they might keep their statutes which they had not kept in their own land., And they went in by the narrow passages of the Euphrates river., For at that time the Most High performed signs for them, and stopped the channels of the river until they had passed over., Through that region there was a long way to go, a journey of a year and a half; and that country is called Arzareth., "Then they dwelt there until the last times; and now, when they are about to come again,, the Most High will stop the channels of the river again, so that they may be able to pass over. Therefore you saw the multitude gathered together in peace., But those who are left of your people, who are found within my holy borders, shall be saved., Therefore when he destroys the multitude of the nations that are gathered together, he will defend the people who remain., And then he will show them very many wonders.", I said, "O sovereign Lord, explain this to me: Why did I see the man coming up from the heart of the sea?", He said to me, "Just as no one can explore or know what is in the depths of the sea, so no one on earth can see my Son or those who are with him, except in the time of his day., This is the interpretation of the dream which you saw. And you alone have been enlightened about this,, because you have forsaken your own ways and have applied yourself to mine, and have searched out my law;, for you have devoted your life to wisdom, and called understanding your mother., Therefore I have shown you this, for there is a reward laid up with the Most High. And after three more days I will tell you other things, and explain weighty and wondrous matters to you.", Then I arose and walked in the field, giving great glory and praise to the Most High because of his wonders, which he did from time to time,, and because he governs the times and whatever things come to pass in their seasons. And I stayed there three days. |
