1 And the Lord said unto me: 'This city shall be delivered up for a time, And the people shall be chastened during a time, And the world will not be given over to oblivion. (2BA) 2 [Dost thou think that this is that city of which I said: "On the palms of My hands have I graven (2BA) 3 thee"? This building now built in your midst is not that which is revealed with Me, that which was prepared beforehand here from the time when I took counsel to make Paradise, and showed it to Adam before he sinned, but when he transgressed the commandment it was removed from him, as (2BA) 4 also Paradise. And after these things I showed it to My servant Abraham by night among the portions of the victims. And again also I showed it to Moses on Mount Sinai when I showed to him (2BA) 6 the likeness of the tabernacle and all its vessels. And now, behold, it is preserved with Me, as also (2BA) 7 Paradise. Go. therefore, and do as I command thee.'] (2BA)
