Section 33
And the Queen called Tamrin, the chief of her caravan men and merchants, and she said to him, “ Get ready for your journey and take this young man with you, for he importuneth me by night and by day. And you shall take him to the King and shall bring him back here in safety, if Yahuah Elohim of Yisra'el, pleaseth.” And she prepared a retinue suitable to their wealth and honourable condition, and made ready all the goods that were necessary for the journey, and for presenting as gifts to the King, and all that would be necessary for ease and comfort by the way. And she made ready everything for sending him away, and she gave to the officers who were to accompany him such moneys as they would need for him and for themselves on the journey. And she commanded them that they were not to leave him there, but only to take him to the King, and then to bring him back again to her, when he should assume the sovereignty over her land. Now there was a Torah in the country of Ethiopia that [only] a woman should reign, and that she must be a virgin who had never known man, but the Queen said [to Shəlomah], “ Henceforward a man who is of your seed shall reign, and a woman shall nevermore reign; only seed of your shall reign and his seed after him from generation to generation. And this you shall inscribe in the letters of the rolls in the Book of their Nevi'im in brass, and you shall lay it in the House of Elohim, which shall be built as a memorial and as a prophecy for the last days. And the people shall not worship the sun and the magnificence of the heavens, or the mountains and the forests, or the stones and the trees of the wilderness, or the abysses and that which is in the waters, or graven images and figures of gold, or the feathered fowl which fly; and they shall not make use of them in divining, and they shall not pay adoration to them. And this Torah shall abide for ever. And if there be anyone who shall transgress this Torah, your seed shall judge him for ever. Only give us the fringes of the covering of the qodesh heavenly Tsiyon, the Tabot of the Torah of Elohim, which we would embrace (or, greet). Peace be to the strength of your kingdom and to your brilliant wisdom, which Yahuah Elohim of Yisra'el our Creator, has given to you.” And the Queen took the young man aside and when he was alone with her she gave him that symbol which Shəlomah had given her, that is to say, the ring on his finger, so that he might know his son, and might remember her word and her Kidan which she had made [with him], that she would worship Elohim all the days of her life, she and those who were under her dominion, with all [the power] which Elohim had given her. And then the Queen sent him away in peace. And the young man [and his retinue] made straight their way and they journeyed on and came into the country of the neighbourhood of Gaza. Now this is the Gaza which Shəlomah the King gave to the Queen of Ethiopia. And in the Acts of the Shelichim Luke the Evangelist wrote, saying, “ He was the governor of the whole country of Gaza, an eunuch of Queen Hendake, who had believed on the word of Luke the Apostle.”
