Section 31

And the Queen rejoiced, and she went forth in order to depart, and the King set her on her way with great pomp and ceremony. And Shəlomah took her aside so that they might be alone together, and he took off the ring that was upon his little finger, and he gave it to the Queen, and said to her, “ Take [this] so that you mayest not forget me. And if it happen that I obtain seed from you, this ring shall be to it a sign; and if it be a man child he shall come to me; and the peace of Elohim be with you! Whilst I was sleeping with you I saw many visions in a dream, [and it seemed] as if a sun had risen upon Yisra'el, but it snatched itself away and flew off and lighted up the country of Ethiopia; perhaps that country shall be blessed through you; Elohim knows. And as for you, observe what I have told you, so that you mayest worship Elohim with all your heart and perform His Will. For He punisheth those who are arrogant, and He showeth compassion upon those who are humble, and He removeth the thrones of the mighty, and He makes to be honoured those who are needy. For death and life are from Him, and riches and poverty are bestowed by His Will. For everything is His, and none can oppose His command and His judgment in the heavens, or in the earth, or in the sea, or in the abysses. And may Elohim be with you! Go in peace.” And they separated from each other.
