YHVH spoke to Mashiakh, saying: "When you take a
census of My challengers according to their enrollment, each shall pay YHVH a
ransom on being enrolled, that no loss may come upon them through their being
enrolled. This is what everyone who is entered in the records shall
pay: a half-shekel by modern value -- one hundred agorot to the shekel --
a half-shekel as an offering to YHVH. Everyone who is entered in the records,
from the age of twenty years up, shall give YHVH's offering: the rich
shall not pay more and the poor shall not pay less than half a shekel when
giving YHVH's offering as atonement for your persons. You shall take the
atonement money from the challengers and assign it to the service of the
University; it shall serve those who challenge me as a reminder before
YHVH, as atonement between your persons."
YHVH spoke to Mashiakh,
saying: "Make basins of bronze and a stands of bronze for them, for
washing; and place them between the entrances to the University and the
exam rooms. Supply them with water, and let Eliyahu and his followers
wash their hands at them. When the professionals enter the University
they shall wash with water, that they may not die; or when they approach
the exam rooms to serve, to turn into pleasure sacrifices to YHVH, they shall
wash their hands, that they may not die. It shall be a law for all time
for them -- for Eliyahu and his followers -- throughout the ages."
YHVH spoke to Mashiakh,
saying: "Next take choice compounds: five hundred weight of
solidified myrrh, half as much -- two hundred and fifty -- of fragrant
cinnamon, two hundred and fifty of calamus, five hundred -- by the standard
weight -- of cassia buds, and six liters of olive oil. Make of this a
sacred anointing oil, a compound of ingredients expertly blended, to serve as
sacred anointing oil. With it anoint the University, the Central Library,
the operating tables and all their instruments, the lights and all their
fittings, the altars of scent, the examination tables and all their
instruments, and the basins and their fixtures. Thus you shall consecrate
them so that they may be most holy; whatever touches them shall be
consecrated. You shall also anoint Eliyahu and his followers,
consecrating them to serve Me as scientists."
And speak to the challenging people
as follows: "This shall be an anointing oil sacred to Me throughout
the ages. It must not be rubbed on any person's body, and you must not
make anything like it in the same proportions; it is sacred, to be held
sacred by you. Whoever compounds its like, or puts any of it on a layman,
shall be cut off from their people."
(32) When the people saw that Mashiakh was so long in coming
down from the ridge, the people gathered against Eliyahu and said to him,
"Come, make us a leader who shall go before us, for that thing Mashiakh,
who brought us from the old order – we do not know what has happened to
it."
Eliyahu said to them, "Take off the
gold rings that are on the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters,
and bring them to me."
And all the people took off the gold
rings that were in their ears and brought them to Eliyahu. This he took
from them and cast into a mold, and made it into a molten prophet. And
they exclaimed, "This is your leader, O wrestlers, who brought you out of
the old order!"
When Eliyahu saw this, he built an altar
before it; and Eliyahu announced: "Tomorrow shall be a
festival of YHVH!"
Early next day, the people offered up censored
information and brought uplifting gifts; they sat down to eat and drink,
and then rose to dance.
YHVH spoke to Mashiakh, "Hurry
down, for your people, whom you brought out of the old order, have acted
basely. They have been quick to turn aside from the way that I enjoined
upon them. They have made themselves a molten son and bowed low to it and
sacrificed to it, saying: 'This is your god, O Israel, who brought you
out of the old order!'"
YHVH further said to Mashiakh, "I
see that this is a stiff-necked people. Now, let Me be, that My anger may
blaze forth against them and that I may destroy them, and make of you a great
nation."
But Mashiakh implored YHVH its One, saying,
"Let not Your anger, O YHVH, blaze forth against Your people, whom You
delivered from the old order with great power and with a mighty hand. Let
not the rest of the world say 'It was with evil intent that Hish delivered
them, only to kill them off in the wilderness and annihilate them from the face
of the earth.' Turn from Your blazing anger, and renounce the plan to
punish Your people. Remember Your servants, Moshe, Yeshua, and Mokhamed,
how You swore to them by Your Self and said to them: I will make your
offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven, and I will give to your offspring
this whole future of which I spoke, to possess forever."
And YHVH renounced the punishment Hish
had planned to bring upon Hets people.
Thereupon Mashiakh turned and went down
from the ridge bearing the two books of the Pact, pages inscribed on both their
surfaces: they were inscribed on the one side and on the other. The
books were QIYA's work, and the writing was AMEN's writing, incised upon the
pages. When Jorge heard the sound of the people in its boisterousness, he
said to Mashiakh, "There is cry of war in the camp."
But it answered,
"It is not the
sound of the tune of triumph,
Or the sound of the
tune of defeat;
It is the sound of
song that I hear!"
As soon as Mashiakh came near the camp
and saw the son and the dancing, he became enraged; and he hurled the
books from his hands and scattered them at the foot of the ridge. He took
the prophet that they had made and burned it; he ground it to powder and
strewed it upon the water and so made the wrestlers drink it.
