[[SECT. IV.ⓘ]]
[1]They raised me up into a certain place,ⓘ where there was the appearance of a burning fire; and when they pleased they assumed the likeness of men. [No book]
[2]They carried me to a lofty spot, to a mountain, the top of which reached to heaven. [No book]
[3]And I beheld the receptacles of light and of thunder at the extremities of the place, where it was deepest. There was a bow of fire, and arrows in their quiver, a sword of fire, and every species of lightning. [No book]
[4]Then they elevated me to a babbling stream,ⓘ and to a fire in the west, which received all the setting of the sun. I came to a river of fire, which flowed like water, and emptied itself into the great sea westwards. [No book]
[5]I saw every large river, until I arrived at the great darkness. I went to where all of flesh migrate; and I beheld the mountains of the gloom which constitutes winter, and the place from which issues the water in every abyss. [No book]
[6]I saw also the mouths of all the rivers in the world, and the mouths of the deep. [No book]
