1And He said to me, “Look now beneath your feet at the firmaments
2and understand the creation represented and foreshadowed in this expanse, the creatures who exist upon it, and the ages prepared for it.”
3And I saw beneath the surface of my feet, even beneath the sixth heaven and what was therein it.
4Then the earth and its fruits, and what moved upon it and its animate beings,
5the power of its men and the ungodliness of some of its souls and the righteous deeds of other souls.
6I saw the lower regions and the perdition therein, the abyss and its torments.
7I saw the sea and its islands, its monsters and its fishes, and the Leviathan and his dominion, his refuge and his caves,
8and the world which lay above him, his movements and the destructions of the world on his account.
9I saw there the streams and the rivers and the rising of their waters and their windings in their courses.
10I saw there the Garden of Eden and its fruits, the source of the river that issues from it,
11the trees and their blossoms, and the ones who behaved righteously.
12And I saw therein their foods and their blessedness,
13I saw there a great multitude, men and women and children, half of them on the right side,
14and half of them on the left side.1
