CHAPTER 4
1 And the Lord said unto me: "This city will be delivered up for a time, and the people will be chastened during a time, and the world will not be given over to oblivion.
2 [Dost thou think that this is that city of which I said: On the palms of My hands have I graven thee?
3 It is not this building which is now built in your midst; (it is) that which will be revealed with Me, that which was prepared beforehand here from the time when I took counsel to make Paradise, and showed it to Adam before he sinned, but when he transgressed the commandment, it was removed from him, as also Paradise.
4 And after these things I showed it to My servant Abraham by night among the portions of the victims.
5 And again also I showed it to Moses on Mount Sinai when I showed to him the likeness of the tabernacle and all its vessels.
6 And now, behold, it is preserved with Me, as also Paradise.
7 Go, therefore, and do as I command thee."]
