1
And Yahuah said to me: This city shall be delivered up for a time, and the people shall be disciplined for a time; but the world shall not be given to forgetfulness.
2
Or do you suppose this is the city of which I said, “Upon the palms of My hands I have inscribed you”?
3
This building now built among you is not the one revealed with Me, the one prepared here beforehand, from when I purposed to make the garden. I showed it to Adam before he sinned; and when he transgressed the Command, it was withdrawn from him, as was the garden.
4
After these things I showed it by night to My servant Avraham, between the divided pieces of the offerings.
5
Again I showed it to Mosheh on Mount Sinai, when I showed him the likeness of the Dwelling and all its vessels.
6
And now, behold, it is preserved with Me, as is the garden.
7
Go, therefore, and do as I command you.
