1 And after some days my son Methuselah took a wife for his son Lamech, and she became pregnant by him and bore a son. 2 said unto him: 'Behold, here am I, my son, wherefore hast thou come to me?' 3 And his body was white as snow and red as the blooming of a rose, and the hair of his head †and his long locks were white as wool, and his eyes beautiful†. And when he opened his eyes, he lighted up the whole house like the sun, and the whole house was very bright. 4 And thereupon he arose in the hands of the midwife, opened his mouth, and †conversed with† the Lord of righteousness.

3 The Lord has allowed me to come to you. Hear my words, though I am but a man, for I have seen the Lord's face, glowing like iron from fire, sparking and burning. 4 You look upon my eyes, filled with meaning for you, but I have seen the Lord's eyes, shining like the sun, filling man's eyes with awe. 5 You see my helping hand, but I have seen the Lord's right hand filling heaven as it aided me. 6 You observe my work's scope, like your own, but I have witnessed the Lord's boundless and perfect compass without end.
