IX. And God said to his only begotten Son: Go,

‹ Section 8 Section 10 ›

take

the

soul

of

Sedrach

my

beloved

,

and

place

it

in

Paradise

.

The

only

begotten

Son

saith

to

Sedrach

:

Give

me

the

trust

which

our

Father

deposited

in

the

womb

of

thy

mother

in

the

holy

tabernacle

of

thy

body

from

a

child

.

Sedrach

saith

:

I

will

not

give

thee

my

soul

.

God

saith

to

him

:

And

wherefore

was

I

sent

to

come

hither

,

and

thou

pleadest

against

me

?

For

I

was

commanded

by

my

Father

not

to

take

thy

soul

with

violence

;

but

if

not

,

(

then

)

give

me

thy

most

greatly

desired

soul

.
