1 And I said: "Eternal, Mighty One! What is this picture of the creatures?" 2 And He said to me: "This is my will for those who exist in the (divine) plan for the world and it seemed pleasing to me, and then afterward I gave them a command through my Word. And whatever I had decided would exist was already planned in advance in this (picture), and it stood in my presence before it was created,⁠a as you have seen." 3 And I said: "Lord, mighty and eternal! Who are the people in this picture on this side and the other?" 4 And He said to me: "Those who are on the left side are the many peoples who existed earlier and who after you are destined, some for judgment and restoration and others for vengeance and destruction at the end of the world. 5 But those who are on the right side of the picture are the people set apart for me of the peoples with Azazel. These are the ones I have destined to be born from you and to be called My People.
