heaviness, and put away the multitude of sorrows, that the Mighty may be
merciful unto thee again, and the Highest shall give thee rest and ease from thy labour.
And I looked, and, behold, the woman appeared unto me no more, but
there was a city builded, and a large place shewed itself from the foundations: then was I afraid, and
cried with a loud voice, and said,

wilt shew thy servant of this vision.

shew his city,

Then saw I a dream, and, behold,
there came up from the sea an eagle, which had twelve
feathered wings, and three heads.
And I
beheld, and out of her feathers
there grew other contrary feathers; and they became little feathers and small.
Moreover I
beheld, and, lo, the eagle
flew with her feathers, and reigned upon earth, and over them that dwelt
therein.
And I numbered her contrary feathers, and, behold, there were eight of them.

there arose one
feather, and reigned over all the earth;

There shall none after thee attain unto thy time, neither unto the half thereof.
And there was no more upon the eagle’s body, but three heads that rested, and six little wings.
And I
beheld, and, lo,
there was one set up, but shortly it appeared no more.
And when they so thought, behold,
there awaked one of the heads that were at rest, namely, it that was in the midst; for that was greater than the two other heads.
But there remained the two heads, which also in like sort ruled upon the earth, and over those that dwelt therein.
Therefore is thy wrongful dealing come up unto the Highest, and thy pride unto the Mighty.
And
therefore appear no more, thou eagle, nor thy
horrible wings, nor thy wicked feathers nor thy
malicious heads, nor thy
hurtful claws, nor all thy vain body:
Lo, yet am I
weary in my mind, and very weak in my spirit; and little strength is
there in me, for the great fear
wherewith I was
afflicted this night.
Therefore will I now
beseech the Highest, that he will comfort me unto the end.

expounded unto him,
therefore now I declare it unto thee.

there shall arise great strivings, and it shall stand in
peril of failing: nevertheless it shall not then fall, but shall be restored again to his beginning.
That in him there shall arise eight kings, whose times shall be but small, and their years swift.

there. And they

necessities, like as these dreams declare.

therefore set thine house in order, and reprove thy people, comfort such of them as be in trouble, and now
renounce corruption,

admonish them? thus the world is set in darkness, and they that dwell
therein are without light.

therein!

whoredom shall be in thy
bosom,
therefore shalt thou receive recompence.

thereof.

And when I was in mine own country, in the land of Israel being but young, all the tribe of Nephthali my father fell from the house of Jerusalem, which was chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, that all the tribes should sacrifice
there, where the temple of the
habitation of the most High was consecrated and built for all ages.
Then all my goods were
forcibly taken away, neither was
there any thing left me, beside my wife
Anna and my son Tobias.
And
there passed not five and fifty days, before two of his sons killed him, and they fled into the mountains of Ararath; and Sarchedonus his son reigned in his
stead; who appointed over his father’s accounts, and over all his affairs, Achiacharus my brother Anael’s son.
Now when I was come home again, and my wife
Anna was restored unto me, with my son Tobias, in the feast of
Pentecost, which is the holy feast of the seven weeks,
there was a good
dinner prepared me, in the which I sat down to eat.
Therefore I
wept: and after the going down of the sun I went and made a grave, and buried him.
And I knew not that

nourish me, until I went into Elymais.
Now
therefore deal with me as seemeth best unto thee, and command my spirit to be taken from me, that I may be dissolved, and become earth: for it is profitable for me to die rather than to live, because I have heard false reproaches, and have much sorrow: command
therefore that I may now be delivered out of this distress, and go into the
everlasting place: turn not thy face away from me.
Now
therefore, my son, love thy brethren, and
despise not in thy heart thy brethren, the sons and daughters of thy people, in not taking a wife of them: for in pride is destruction and much trouble, and in
lewdness is decay and great want: for
lewdness is the mother of famine.
Bless the Lord thy God
alway, and desire of him that thy ways may be directed, and that all thy paths and counsels may
prosper: for every nation hath not counsel; but the Lord himself giveth all good things, and he humbleth whom he will, as he will; now
therefore, my son, remember my commandments, neither let them be put out of thy mind.

And the
maid is fair and wise: now
therefore hear me, and I will speak to her father; and when we return from Rages we will
celebrate the marriage: for I know that Raguel cannot marry her to another according to the law of Moses, but he shall be guilty of death, because the right of inheritance
doth rather
appertain to thee than to any other.
And as he went, he remembered the words of Raphael, and took the ashes of the perfumes, and put the heart and the liver of the fish
thereupon, and made a smoke
therewith.
And now, O Lord, I take not this my sister for
lust but uprightly:
therefore mercifully ordain that we may become aged together.
Then Raguel praised God, and said, O God, thou art worthy to be praised with all pure and holy praise;
therefore let thy saints praise thee with all thy creatures; and let all thine angels and thine
elect praise thee for ever.
