29 My father, Mitoosilah, reported Inook's words unto me. And afterwards I went unto Birawkiyal, my uncle, and asked of him his daughter
30 Bitanoos, that she might be a wife unto me, and he gave her to me. And I went in unto her and knew her And she loved me in the heat
31 of intercourse, and I could hear the gasping of her breath in her breast, and sharing with her her sexual pleasure was heavenly. And
32 thus she conceived and became pregnant. And when the time of her labor came, she gave birth, and out came a child of disturbing
33 appearance. His appearance was like an angel; his body was white as snow and red as the blooming of a rose, and the hair of his
34 head and his long locks were white as wool and his eyes beautiful. And when he opened his eyes, light shone from his eyes, and he lighted
35 up the entire house like the light of the Sun, and the whole house was very bright. And her son was being held in the hands of the midwife, but
36 he suddenly arose from her hands, and opened his mouth and began to praise Alehim and speak to Him as a son speaks to a father.

1 Then suddenly it occurred to me that the conception was from Watchers, and the seed from Holy Ones, and to Nivawlym did he belong
2 and my mind wavered concerning the infant.
3 Then I Limawk, was upset, so I approached Bitanoos, my wife, and I said to her: “I fear I am not the child's father;
4 now, I adjure thee by the Most High, by the Mighty Lord, by the King of All Ages to tell me whether thou hast conceived by
5 one of the sons of heaven, that thou recount truthfully everything for me, whether thou hast sinned against me or not.
6 Thou must recount truthfully for me, without lies. The son from thee is unique, unlike any of the sons of men. I adjure thee
7 by the King of All Ages that thou wilt speak truthfully with me, without lies”.
8 Then Bitanoos my wife spoke with me very harshly and wept exceedingly and beat her breasts and was deeply cut to the heart,
9 and she said, “O my brother and my husband, recall for thyself my sexual pleasure that I shared with thee and remember my love
10 in the heat of intercourse and the gasping of my breath in my breast. I am telling thee everything truthfully and thou shouldst believe everything
11 I say to thee entirely”. Then my mind wavered greatly within me.
12 Now when Bitanoos my wife saw that my demeanor had changed because of my exceeding anger against her for speaking harshly to me
13 then she suppressed her anger and spoke with me, saying to me, “O my husband and my brother, remember our union and recall
14 my pleasure. I swear to thee by the Great Holy One, by the King of Heaven that I am not lying, but I am speaking truthfully
15 that this seed is from thee, and from thee this conception, and from thee the planting of this fruit. My son was truly born from thee
16 and not from any stranger, nor from any of the Watchers, nor from any of the sons of Heaven. Why is the shape and appearance of
17 thy face changed and contorted like this, and thy spirit wavering upon thee like this? I promise thee by oath that I am not lying but I
18 am speaking truthfully with thee”.
19 Then I Limawk ran to Mitoosilah my father and told him everything that happened, and I begged him to help me and go to Inook
20 his father in order to learn everything from him with certainty, since he is a beloved one and a friend of Alehim and with the Holy Ones
21 is his lot apportioned, for they make everything known to him. When Mitoosilah heard what I spake unto him, and saw my grief,
22 he ran to Inook his father to learn everything truthfully from him so that whatever he should say, we should act according to
23 his will. And he went through the length of the land of Viruwym, and there he found the ends of the earth and called out to Inook.
24 And he said to Inook his father, “O my father and my lord, I have come to thee for the controversy of my son and that thou shouldst reveal
25 the truth to me, and I say to thee, do not be angry that I came here to seek thee about earthly matters,for I know thy great prominence and I am
26 fearful of thee my father.” And Inook heard the voice of his son calling out to him, and he left his abode and appeared to him, and he said
27 unto Mitoosilah, my father: “Behold, here am I, my son. Wherefore hast thou come to me?” And Mitoosilah my father answered and said “Because of a great
28 cause of anxiety have I come to thee, and because of a disturbing vision. And now my father, hear me: the wife of my son Limawk conceived and became
29 pregnant, and she gave birth to a child, the like of whom there is none, and his nature is not like man's nature, and the color of his body is whiter than snow and
30 redder than the bloom of a rose, and the hair of his head is whiter than white wool. They were astonished and in great fear of the child, because a firstborn son
31 had been born which was glorious in his appearance. But Limawk was exceedingly fearful and did not believe that he was his father. And when Limawk saw
32 the child open his eyes, light filled all the rooms of the house like rays of the sun. And the child arose in the hands of the midwife, and opened his mouth and
33 blessed the Lord of Heaven. And his father Limawk became afraid and fled to me, and did not believe that he was sprung from him, but that he was in the
34 likeness of the angels of heaven. And he said unto me: 'My father, I have begotten a strange son, diverse from and unlike man, and resembling the sons of the
35 gods of heaven; and his nature is different and he is not like us and his eyes are as the rays of the sun, and his countenance is glorious. It seems to me that he is
36 not sprung from me but from the angels and I fear that in his days a wonder may be wrought on the earth. And now my father, I am here to petition thee and
COLUMN III
1 implore thee that thou mayst go to Inook, our father, and learn from him the truth, for his dwelling place is amongst the angels'. And so I have come.”
