Paradise: the Judgment of the Righteous by the Elect One: the Praise of the Elect One and of Elohim 61:1 And I saw in those days how long cords were given to those angels, and they took to themselves wings and flew, and they went towards the north. 61:2 And I asked the angel, saying unto him: ‘Why have those angels taken these cords and gone off?’ And he said unto me: ‘They have gone to measure.’ 61:3 And the angel who went with me said unto me: ‘These shall bring the measures of the righteous, And the ropes of the righteous to the righteous, That they may stay themselves on the name of Yehuveh of spirits for ever and ever. 61:4 The elect shall begin to dwell with the elect, And those are the measures which shall be given to faith And which shall strengthen righteousness. 61:5 And the measures shall reveal all the secrets of the depths of the earth, And those who have been destroyed by the desert, And those who have been devoured by the beasts, And those who have been devoured by the fish of the sea, That they may return and stay themselves On the day of the Elect One; For none shall be destroyed before Yehuveh of spirits, And none can be destroyed. |

61:1 T 61:5 Alchemy is the secret knowledge of Yehuveh and of the angels. It appears that Solomon has been taught this secret, whether by angels or by descendents of those men who learned it somehow after the flood.
