And I saw other lightnings and the stars of heaven, and I saw how He called them all by their names and they hearkened unto Him.

2And I saw how they are weighed in a righteous balance according to their proportions of light: I saw the width of their spaces and the day of their appearing, and how their revolution produces lightning: and I saw their revolution according to the number of the angels, and how they keep faith with each other.

3And I asked the angel who went with me who showed me what was hidden: ‘What are these?’

4And he said to me: ‘The Lord of Spirits hath showed thee their parabolic meaning: these are the names of the holy who dwell on the earth and believe in the name of the Lord of Spirits for ever and ever.’
