Section 21

And how this Queen was born I have discovered written in that manuscript, and in this manner also does the Evangelist mention that woman. And our Yahuah Yahushua the Mashiach, in condemning the Yehudi people, the crucifiers, who lived at that time, spoke, saying: “ The Queen of the South shall rise up on the Day of Judgment and shall dispute with, and condemn, and overcome this generation wdio would not hearken to the preaching of My word, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Shəlomah.” And the Queen of the South of whom He spoke was the Queen of Ethiopia. And in the words “ ends of the earth ” [He makes allusion] to the delicacy of the constitution of women, and the long distance of the journey, and the burning heat of the sun, and the hunger on the way, and the thirst for water. And this Queen of the South was very beautiful in face, and her stature was superb, and her understanding and intelligence, which Elohim had given her, were of such high character that she went to Yerushalayim to hear the wisdom of Shəlomah; now this was done by the command of Elohim and it was His good pleasure. And moreover, she was exceedingly rich, for Elohim had given her glory, and riches, and gold, and silver, and splendid apparel, and camels, and slaves, and trading men (or, merchants). And they carried on her business and trafficked for her by sea and by land, and in India, and in ’Aswan (Syene).
