  Section five, Chapters twenty six through thirty six. Jerusalem and the Mountains,
• 0:06
  Ravines and Streams. Chapter twenty six. And I went from thence to the
• 0:12
  middle of the earth, and I saw a blessed place, in which there
• 0:15
  were trees with branches abiding, and blooming of a dismembered tree. And there
• 0:20
  I saw a holy mountain. And underneath the mountain, to the east there
• 0:24
  was a stream, and it flowed towards the south. And I saw towards
• 0:28
  the east another mountain higher than this, and between them a deep and narrow
• 0:33
  ravine. In it also ran a stream underneath the mountain. And to the
• 0:38
  west thereof there was another mountain, lower than the former, and of small
• 0:43
  elevation, and a ravine deep and dry between them. And another deep and
• 0:48
  dry ravine was at the extremities of the three mountains. And all the ravines
• 0:53
  were deep and narrow, being formed of hard rock, and trees were not
• 0:57
  planted upon them. And I marveled as the rocks, and I marveled at
• 1:00
  the ravine. Yea, I am marveled very much. Chapter twenty seven.
• 1:06
  The purpose of the accursed valley, then, said I, for what object
• 1:10
  is this blessed land? Which is entirely filled with trees, and this accursed
• 1:15
  valley between. Then Uriel, one of the Holy angels, who was with
• 1:19
  me, answered and said, this accursed valley is for those who are accursed.
• 1:23
  Forever. Here shall all the accursed be gathered together, who utter with
• 1:27
  their lips against the Lord unseemly words, and of his glory speak hard things.
• 1:34
  Here shall they be gathered together, and here shall be their place of
• 1:38
  judgment. In the last days, there shall be upon them the spectacle of
• 1:42
  righteous judgment, in the presence of the Righteous. Forever. Here shall the
• 1:46
  merciful bless the Lord of Glory, the eternal King, in the days of
• 1:51
  judgment over the former. They shall bless him for the mercy and accordance with
• 1:55
  which he has assigned them their lot. Then I bless the Lord of Glory
• 1:59
  and set forth his glory and lauded him gloriously. Chapter twenty eight through thirty
• 2:05
  three. Further Journey to the East chapter twenty eight, and thence I went
• 2:10
  toward the east, into the midst of the mountain range of the desert,
• 2:15
  and I saw a wilderness, and it was solitary, full of trees and
• 2:17
  plants, and water gushed forth from above, rushing like a copious watercourse,
• 2:23
  which flowed towards the northwest. It caused clouds and dew to ascend on every
• 2:28
  side Chapter twenty nine. And thence I went to another place in the desert
• 2:32
  and approached to the east of this mountain range, and there I saw aromatic
• 2:38
  trees exhaling the fragrance of frankincense and myrrh, and the trees also were similar
• 2:44
  to the almond tree Chapter thirty And beyond these I went afar to the east,
• 2:49
  and I saw another place, a valley full of water, and therein
• 2:53
  there was a tree the color of fragrant trees, such as the mastic.
• 2:57
  And on the size of those valleys I saw fragrance sinna. And beyond these
• 3:00
  I proceeded to the east Chapter thirty one, and I saw other mountains,
• 3:07
  and amongst them were groves of trees, and there flowed forth from them nectar,
• 3:10
  which is named Sarara and galbanum. And beyond these mountains I saw another
• 3:16
  mountain to the east of the ends of the earth, whereon were allow trees,
• 3:21
  and all the trees were full of stactate, being like almond trees.
• 3:25
  And when one burnt it. It smelt sweeter than any fragrant odor, Chapter
• 3:30
  thirty two. And after these fragrant odors, as I looked toward the north
• 3:36
  over the mountains, I saw seven mountains full of choice nard and fragrant trees,
• 3:39
  and cinnamon and pepper. And thence I went over the summits of all
• 3:44
  these mountains, far towards the east of the earth, and passed above the
• 3:47
  Erythrian Sea, and went far from it, and passed over the angel Zalutiel.
• 3:53
  And I came to the garden of Righteousness, and saw beyond those trees
• 3:58
  many large trees growing there, and of goodly fragrance, large, very beautiful
• 4:02
  and glorious, and the tree of wisdom, whereof they eat, and no
• 4:06
  great wisdom. That tree is in height like the fir, and its leaves
• 4:12
  are like those of the carab tree, and its fruit is like the clusters
• 4:15
  of the vine, very beautiful, and the fragrance of the tree penetrates afar.
• 4:20
  Then I said, how beautiful is the tree, and how attractive is
• 4:25
  its look. Then Raphael, the Holy Angel, who was with me,
• 4:29
  answered me and said, this is the tree of wisdom of which thy father
• 4:32
  old in years and thy aged mother, who were before thee have eaten,
• 4:38
  and they learned wisdom, and their eyes were opened, and they knew that
• 4:42
  they were naked, and they were driven out of the garden Chapter thirty three.
• 4:46
  And from thence I went to the ends of the earth, and saw
• 4:49
  there great beasts, and each differed from the other. And I saw birds,
• 4:54
  also differing in appearance and beauty and voice, the one differing from the
• 4:58
  other. And to the east of those beasts, I saw the ends of
• 5:01
  the earth, whereon the heaven rests, and the portals of the heavens open,
• 5:05
  and I saw how the stars of heaven come forth. And I counted
• 5:09
  the portals out of which they proceed, and wrote down all their outlets,
• 5:13
  of each individual's star by itself, according to their number, and their names,
• 5:17
  their courses, and their positions, and their times and their months.
• 5:21
  As Uriel, the Holy Angel who was with me showed me. He showed
• 5:26
  all things to me and wrote them down for me. Also their names he
• 5:30
  wrote for me, and their laws and their companies Chapter thirty four to thirty
• 5:35
  five. Enix Journey to the North chapter thirty four. And from thence I
• 5:41
  went towards the north, to the ends of the Earth. And there I
• 5:44
  saw a great and glorious device at the ends of the whole earth. And
• 5:47
  here I saw three portals of Heaven open in the heaven. Through each of
• 5:53
  them proceed north winds. When they blow there is cold, hail, frost,
• 5:58
  snow, dew, and rain. And out of the one portal they
• 6:00
  blow for good. But when they blow through the other two portals, it
• 6:04
  is with violence and affliction on the earth, and they blow with violence,
• 6:10
  Chapter thirty five. And from thence I went towards the west, to the
• 6:14
  ends of the Earth, and I saw there three portals of the Heaven open,
• 6:17
  such as I had seen in the east, the same number of portals
• 6:21
  and the same number of outlets. Chapter thirty six. Journey to the South,
• 6:27
  And from thence I went to the south to the ends of the Earth,
• 6:30
  and I saw there three open portals of the Heaven. And thence there
• 6:33
  came dew, rain, and wind. And from thence I went to the
• 6:39
  east to the ends of the heaven, and saw here the three eastern portals
• 6:43
  of Heaven open, and small portals above them. Through each of these small
• 6:47
  portals passed the stars of Heaven and run their course to the west, on
• 6:51
  the path which is shown to them. And as often as I saw,
• 6:56
  I blessed always the Lord of Glory. And I continued to bless the Lord
• 7:00
  of Glory, who has wrought great and glorious wonders, to show the greatness
• 7:03
  of his work to the angels and to spirits and to men, that they
• 7:08
  might praise his work and all his creation, that they might see the work
• 7:13
  of his might and praise the great work of his hands, and bless him
• 7:16
  forever. And of Section five
