Chapter 6 _{33 And therefore hath he sent me to shew thee all these things, and to say unto thee, Be of good comfort and fear not34 And hasten not with the times that are past, to think vain things, that thou mayest not hasten from the latter times.35 And it came to pass after this, that I wept again, and fasted seven days in like manner, that I might fulfil the three weeks which he told me.36 And in the eighth night was my heart vexed within me again, and I began to speak before the most High.37 For my spirit was greatly set on fire, and my soul was in distress.38 And I said, O Lord, thou spakest from the beginning of the creation, even the first day, and saidst thus; Let heaven and earth be made; and thy word was a perfect work.39 And then was the spirit, and darkness and silence were on every side; the sound of man's voice was not yet formed.40 Then commandedst thou a fair light to come forth of thy treasures, that thy work might appear.41 Upon the second day thou madest the spirit of the firmament, and commandedst it to part asunder, and to make a division betwixt the waters, that the one part might go up, and the other remain beneath.42 Upon the third day thou didst command that the waters should be gathered in the seventh part of the earth: six pats hast thou dried up, and kept them, to the intent that of these some being planted of God and tilled might serve thee.43 For as soon as thy word went forth the work was made.44 For immediately there was great and innumerable fruit, and many and divers pleasures for the taste, and flowers of unchangeable colour, and odours of wonderful smell: and this was done the third day.45 Upon the fourth day thou commandedst that the sun should shine, and the moon give her light, and the stars should be in order:46 And gavest them a charge to do service unto man, that was to be made.47 Upon the fifth day thou saidst unto the seventh part, where the waters were gathered that it should bring forth living creatures, fowls and fishes: and so it came to pass.48 For the dumb water and without life brought forth living things at the commandment of God, that all people might praise thy wondrous works.49 Then didst thou ordain two living creatures, the one thou calledst Enoch, and the other Leviathan;50 And didst separate the one from the other: for the seventh part, namely, where the water was gathered together, might not hold them both.51 Unto Enoch thou gavest one part, which was dried up the third day, that he should dwell in the same part, wherein are a thousand hills:52 But unto Leviathan thou gavest the seventh part, namely, the moist; and hast kept him to be devoured of whom thou wilt, and when.53 Upon the sixth day thou gavest commandment unto the earth, that before thee it should bring forth beasts, cattle, and creeping things:54 And after these, Adam also, whom thou madest lord of all thy creatures: of him come we all, and the people also whom thou hast chosen.55 All this have I spoken before thee, O Lord, because thou madest the world for our sakes}
