Chapter whereby one is conveyed in the Great Bark to pass through the orbit of flame.

O bright flame which art behind the sun and dividest his crown! The Bark feareth the storm. Ye are bright and ye are exalted.

I come daily from the exalted station, so that I may witness the order of Righteousness and the creatures which belong to it, so that I may see them there.

We are rejoicing: their great ones are in jubilation, and their smaller ones in bliss.

I make my way at the prow of the Bark, which lifteth me up like a disk.

I shine like the glorious ones, whom He hath enriched with His wealth, holding fast like a servant of Righteousness.

Here is the company of the angels.

Grant ye that his Lord may judge in his behalf.

And so I poise for him the Balance, which is Righteousness, that he may live.

Come, come, for the Lord is uttering the judgment of Righteousness.

O thou who callest out at thine evening hours, grant that I may come and bring to him the two jaws of Restau, and that I may bring to him the books which are in the Annu and add up for him his hosts.

And so I have repulsed Satan and healed the wounds he made.

Let me make my way through the midst of you.

Let the angels make way for me, that I may enter the Mount of Glory, and pass through where the great ones are.

I pass through the orbit of flame over the serpents.

Let me pass: I am a servant of the Lord of the powerful, the Lord of Righteousness, the Creator of every dawn.

Place me among the followers of the righteous: place me as one who goeth round in the Garden of Peace.

Let me be numbered in presence of the company of the angels.
