10:1
After I learned these matters, the chief messenger led me into the fourth heaven.
10:2
I saw a broad, level plain with a pool of water in its center.
10:3
Multitudes of birds of every kind were there, unlike those upon earth. A crane was as large as great cattle, and all the birds exceeded earthly measure.
10:4
I asked, “What are the plain, the pool, and these multitudes of birds?”
10:5
The messenger answered, “This plain and pool are the place where the nefashot of the righteous come and live together in assemblies of praise.”
10:6
“The water is received by the clouds and falls upon the earth so that fruit may increase.”
10:7
I asked, “What are the birds?” He answered, “They continually sing praise to Yahuah.”
10:8
I said, “People say rainwater comes from the sea.”
10:9
He answered, “The descending rain is connected with the sea and earthly waters, but the water that gives increase to fruit comes from this appointed source.”
10:10
“Know that from here comes what is called the dew of the heavens.”
