Unknown

Section 10

About this work

Author: Unknown

X. And Sedrach saith to God: And whence dost Thou intend

‹ Section 9 Section 11 ›

to

take

my

soul

,

and

from

which

limb

?

And

God

saith

to

him

:

Dost

thou

not

know

that

it

is

placed

in

the

midst

of

thy

lungs

and

thy

heart

and

is

dispersed

into

all

thy

limbs

?

It

is

brought

up

through

the

throat

and

gullet

and

the

mouth

and

at

whatever

hour

it

is

predestined

to

come

forth

,

it

is

scattered

,

and

brought

together

from

the

points

of

the

nails

and

from

all

the

limbs

,

and

there

is

a

great

necessity

that

it

should

be

separated

from

the

body

and

parted

from

the

heart

.

When

Sedrach

had

heard

all

these

things

and

had

considered

the

memory

of

death

he

was

greatly

astounded

,

and

Sedrach

said

to

God

:

O

Lord

,

give

me

a

little

respite

that

I

may

weep

,

for

I

have

heard

that

tears

are

able

to

do

much

and

much

remedy

comes

to

the

lowly

body

of

thy

creature

.
