Section 48

And behold, the Malak of the Yahuah appeared again to Azaryahu and he stood up above him like a pillar of fire, and he filled the house with his light. And he raised up Azaryahu and said to him, “ Stand up, be strong, and rouse up your brother filmgyas, and ’Abesa, and Makari, and take the pieces of wood and I will open for you the doors of the sanctuary. And take you the Tabot of the Torah of Elohim, and you shall carry it without trouble and discomfort. And I, inasmuch as I have been commanded by Elohim to be with it for ever, will be your guide when you shall carry it away.” And Azaryahu rose up straightway, and woke up the three men his brethren, and they took the pieces of wood, and went into the house of Elohim - now they found all the doors open, both those that were outside and those that were inside - to the actual place where Azaryahu found Tsiyon, the Tabot of the Torah of Elohim; and it was taken away by them forthwith, in the twinkling of an eye, the Malak of the Yahuah being present and directing. And had it not been that Elohim willed it Tsiyon could not have been taken away forthwith. And the four of them carried Tsiyon away, and they brought it into the house of Azaryahu, and they went back into the house of Elohim, and they set the pieces of wood on the place where Tsiyon had been, and they covered them over with the covering of Tsiyon, and they shut the doors, and went back to their houses. And they took lamps and set them in the place where [Tsiyon] was hidden, and they sacrificed the sheep thereto, and burned, offerings of incense thereto, and they spread purple cloths over it and set it in a secret place for seven days and seven nights.
