ḤANOḴ 40

1 And after that I saw thousands of thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand. I saw a multitude beyond number and reckoning, who stood before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts. 2 And on the four sides of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts I saw four presences, different from those that do not sleep, and I learned their names: for the messengers that went with me made known to me their names, and showed me all the hidden matters. 3 And I heard the voices of those four presences as they uttered praises before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of esteem. 4 The first voice baraḵ 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts forever and ever. 5 And the second voice I heard beraḵah the Elect One and the elect ones who hang upon 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts. 6 And the third voice I heard pray and intercede for those who dwell on the earth and make supplication in the Name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts. 7 And I heard the fourth voice fending off the adversaries and forbidding them to come before of hosts to accuse them who dwell on the earth. 8 After that I asked the messenger of peace who went with me, who showed me all matters that are hidden, \"Who are these four presences which I have seen and whose words I have heard and written down?\" 5 And he said to me, \"This first is Miḵa’ĕl, full of favour and patient. And the second, who is appointed over all the diseases and all the wounds of the children of men, is Repha’ĕl. And the third, who is appointed over all the powers, is Gaḇri’ĕl. And the fourth, who is appointed over the repentance unto expectancy of those who inherit eternal ḥai, is named Phanu'ĕl.\" And these are the four messengers of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts and the four voices I heard in those days.
