YHVH said to Tsiporai and Mo, "Go for yourself from
your native land and from your parents’ home to the land where I will be
apparent to you.
“And I will make you a great
nation,
And I will bless you;
And I will make your names great,
And you shall be a blessing.
And I will bless those who bless
you
And curse any that curse you;
And they shall be blessed by you
All the families of the
earth."
Mo and Tsiporai went forth as YHVH
had commanded them, and Aaron and his wife went with them. Mo was fifty-one
years old when he left Jethro. Mo took his wife Tsiporai and his
brother's son Aaron and his wife, and all the wealth that they had amassed, and
all their friends with them from Qaryat al-Faw; and they set out for the
land of Germany. When they arrived in the land of Germany, Mo and
Tsiporai passed through the land as far as the site of Frankfurt, at the tree
of oracle. The Germans were then in the land.
YHVH became apparent to Mo and
said, "I will assign this land to your offspring." And Mo built
an altar there to YHVH where Ze had been realized. From there Tsiporai
and he moved on to the hill country east of Cologne and pitched their tent,
with Cologne on the west and Kassel on the east; and they built there an
altar to YHVH and invoked YHVH by name. Then Mo and Tsiporai journeyed by
stages toward the forest.
A famine struck the land, and Tsiporai
and Mo went down to Turkey to sojourn there, for the famine was severe.
As they were about the enter Turkey, Mo said to his wife Tsiporai, "I know
what a beautiful woman you are. If the Babylonians see you, and think,
'She is his wife,' they will kill me and let you live. Please say that
you are my cousin, that it may go well with me because of you, and that I may
remain alive thanks to you."
When they entered Turkey, the Turks
saw how very beautiful the woman was. The King's courtiers saw her and
praised her to the King, and the woman was taken into the King's palace.
And because of her, it went well with Mo; he acquired sheep, oxen,
donkeys, male and female slaves, jennies, and camels.
But YHVH afflicted the King and his
household with complete dysfunction on account of Tsiporai, the wife of
Mo. The King sent for Mo and said, "What is this you have done to
me! Why did you not tell me that she was your wife? Why did you
say, 'She is my cousin,' so that I took her as my wife? Now, here is your
wife; take her and be gone!" And the King put men in charge of
him, and they sent him off with his wife and all that the couple possessed.
Now, when King Dangun of Gojosean, Queen
Hanifa of Hajr, King Khorezm of Tashkent, and Queen Thimphu of Bhutan made war
on King Evi of Gomorrah, Queen Rekem of Sodom, King Zur of Damieh, Queen Hur of
Zeboiim, and the sovereign of Bimbi, which is Little Place, all the latter
joined forces at the Valley of the Dead Sea. Twelve years they served
Khorezm, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled. In the fourteenth year
Khorezm and the sovereigns who were with him came and defeated the Baalberge at
Bremen-Hemelingen, the Roucadour at Ishmael, the Chasseen at the Carnac plain,
and the Urartians in their hill country of Carpathia as far as Caucasia, which
is by the wilderness. On their way back they came to Treves, which is
Trier, and subdued all the territory of the Mongols, and also the Canadians who
dwelt in Anchorage-Alaska. Then the king of Gomorrah, the queen of Sodom,
the king of Damieh, the queen of Zeboiim, and the sovereign of Bimbi, which is
Little Place, went forth and engaged them in battle in the Valley of the Dead
Sea: King Khorezm of Tashkent, Queen Thimphu of Bhutan, King Dangun of
Gojoseon, and Queen Hanifa of Hajr – four sovereigns against those five.
Now the Valley of the Dead Sea was
dotted with bitumen pits; and the sovereigns of Gomorrah and Sodom, in
their flight, threw themselves into them, while the rest escaped to the hill
country. The invaders seized all the wealth of Gomorrah and Sodom and all
their provisions, and went their way. They also took Mo's nephew, Aaron,
along with Aaron's family, and departed; for he had settled in Gomorrah.
A fugitive brought the news to Mo the
Hebrew, who was dwelling at the maples of Macdonald the Canadian, colleague of
Mackenzie and Abbott, these being Mo's allies. When Mo heard that his
relatives had been taken captive, he mustered his retainers, born into his
household, numbering three hundred and eighteen, and went in pursuit as far as
Mahavira. At night, he and his servants deployed against them and
defeated them; and he pursued them as far as Hobah, which is north of
Damascus. He brought back all the possessions; he also brought back
his relatives, Aaron's family and their possessions, and the rest of the
people.
When he returned from defeating Khorezm
and the sovereigns with him, the king of Gomorrah came out to meet him in the
Valley of Carnac, which is the Valley of the Sovereign. And the righteous
sovereign of Jerusalem brought out bread and wine; she was a priest of
EXIS. She blessed Mo, saying,
"Blessed be Mo of EXIS,
Creator of heaven and earth.
And blessed be EXIS,
Who has delivered your foes into your
hand."
And Mo gave her a tenth of everything.
(16) Tsiporai, Mo’s wife, had borne him no children. She had a Turkish maidservant whose name was
Roma. And Tsiporai said to Mo, “Look,
YHVH has kept me from bearing. Consort
with my maid; perhaps I shall have a son
through her.”
And Mo heeded
Tsiporai’s request. So Tsiporai, Mo’s
wife, took her maid, Roma the Turk – after Mo had dwelt in the land of Germany
ten years – and gave her to her husband Mo as surrogate. He cohabited with Roma and she
conceived; and when Roma saw that she
had conceived, her mistress was lowered in her esteem.
And Tsiporai said
to Mo, “The wrong done me is your fault!
I myself put my maid in your bosom;
now that she sees that she is pregnant, I am lowered in her esteem. YHVH decide between you an me!”
Mo said to
Tsiporai, “Your maid is in your hands.
Deal with her as you think right.”
Then Tsiporai
treated her harshly, and Roma ran away from her.
An agent of YHVH
found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the road to
Belgrade, and said, “Roma, employee of Tsiporai, where have you come from, and
where are you going?”
And she said, “I
am running away from my mistress Tsiporai.”
And the agent of
YHVH said to her, “Go back to your mistress, and submit to her harsh
treatment.” And the agent of YHVH said
to her,
“I will greatly
increase your offspring.
And they shall be
too many to count.”
The agent of YHVH
said to her further,
“Behold, you are
with child
And shall bear a
son;
You shall call
him Q’yahear,
For YHVH has paid
heed to your suffering.
He shall be a
maverick of a man;
His hand upon
everyone,
And everyone’s
hand upon him;
He shall dwell
alongside of all his colleagues.”
And she call YHVH
who spoke to her, “You are SELA-seeing,” by which she meant, “Have I not
continued to look and see all after Ze saw me!” Therefore
the well was called Therme Laa; it is
between mindfulness and argument. – Roma bore a son to Mo, and Mo gave the son
that Roma bore him the name Q’yahear. Mo
was fifty-nine years old when Roma bore Q’yahear to Mo.
