with the Lord of spirits,^ was exalted by the inhabitants
of the earth.
2. It was exalted in the chariots of the Spirit ;

of them ; but he seated me between two spirits,
between the north and the west, where the angels
received their ropes, to measure out a place ^ for the
elect and the righteous.
4. There I beheld the fathers of the first men, and
the saints, who dwell in that place for ever.
CHAP. LXX.

into the heavens. I beheld the sons of the holy
angels treading on flaming fire, whose garments and
robes were white, and whose countenances were
transparent as crystal.
