1 The goat was created by God, who made cattle for our benefit.

Through such offering made for His sake the righteous of old were exalted.

2 Bearing in hands the cooked food, give it as charity for God's sake;

Reaching the heights of heaven, mix with the company of the angels in the Garden.

3 From earth's high ridge to middle air I mounted, and from mid-air ascended up to heaven.

From the high pitch of heaven's cope I came into the world of light.

4 Mounting the sky they look not round; they rise to heaven through both the worlds,

Sages who paid the offering that pours its streams on every side.

5 First among all, come forward, O God the Radiant, Thou who seest angels and men.

Imploring, and accordant with the righteous, to heaven in safety go those who offer for Thy sake!

6 With milk and butter I anoint the mighty goat, strong and full of juices, to offer for God's sake.

Through such offering will we attain the world of virtue, ascending to the loftiest cope, to heaven.

7 Set the Goat's head toward the eastern region, and turn his right side to the southern quarter.

His hinder part turn to the western quarter, and set his left side to the northern region.

8 Set the Goat's backbone upmost, and lay his belly downward; set his mid-portion between them.

9 O'er the dressed Goat lay a dressed skin to robe him, prepared, in perfect form, with all his members.
