1
And they took ⌜and⌝ brought me to a place in which those who were there were like flaming fire, and when they wished, they appeared as men.
2
And they brought me to the place of darkness, and to a mountain the point of whose summit reached to heaven.
3
And I saw the places of the luminaries ⌜and the treasuries of the stars⌝ and of the thunder, ⌜and⌝ in the uttermost depths, where were a fiery bow and arrows and their quiver, 〚and a fiery sword〛 and all the lightnings.
4
And they took me to the living waters, and to the fire of the west, which receives every setting of the sun.
5
And I came to a river of fire in which the fire flows like water and discharges itself into the great sea towards the west.
6
I saw the great rivers and came to the great ⌜river and to the great⌝ darkness, and went to the place where no flesh walks.
7
I saw the mountains of the darkness of winter and the place whence all the waters of the deep flow.
8
I saw the mouths of all the rivers of the earth and the mouth of the deep.
