[[SECT. XVII.]]
[1]After this I saw another dream, and explained it all to thee, my son. Enoch arose and said to his son Mathusala, To thee, my son, will I speak. Hear my word; and incline thine ear to the visionary dream of thy father. Before I married thy mother Edna, I saw a vision on my bed; [No book]
[2]And behold, a cow sprung forth from the earth; [No book]
[3]And this cow was white. [No book]
[4]Afterwards a female heifer sprung forth; and with it another heifer: one of them was black, and one was red. [No book]
[5]The black heifer then struck the red one, and pursued it over the earth. [No book]
[6]From that period I could see nothing more of the red heifer; but the black one increased in bulk, and a female heifer came with him. [No book]
[7]After this I saw that many cows proceeded forth, resembling him, and following after him. [No book]
[8]The first female young one also went out in the presence of the first cow; and sought the red heifer; but found him not. [No book]
[9]And she lamented with a great lamentation, while she was seeking him. [No book]
[10]Then I looked until that first cow came to her, from which time she became silent, and ceased to lament. [No book]
[11]Afterwards she calved another white cow. [No book]
[12]And again calved many cows and black heifers. [No book]
[13]In my sleep also I perceived a white bull, which in like manner grew, and became a large white bull. [No book]
[14]After him many white cows came forth, resembling him. [No book]
[15]And they began to calve many other white cows, which resembled them and followed each other. [No book]
