The Eternal Mighty One said, 'Avraham, Avraham.' I answered, 'Here I am.'
2
He said, 'Look from above at the stars beneath you. Number them and tell Me their number.'

6
I said, 'Eternal Mighty One, let Your servant speak. Before I came here Azazel accused me. If he is not before You now, how can his portion stand within Your house?'
