AḆRAHAM 37

1 The Ruaḥ of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 fell upon me at this time that I should answer my father and I said unto him, How is it thou servest these mighty ones of wood and stone, the handiwork of the craftsmen in which is neither life nor power to act?

2 Can these which cannot deliver themselves from the hatchet deliver thee from the power of the enemy?

3 Can they hear thy prayers when thou callest upon them from out of the midst of thine afflictions?

4 Surely it is an evil thing that thou and thy people should serve these false mighty ones, for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, He is the Elohim who created the shamayim and earth and all that in them is, and He hath commanded all men to worship Him only and to serve Him all their days.

5 Behold, your fathers in the days before the great flood worshipped false mighty ones after the same evil combination into which ye have entered, and because of their perversions, they were destroyed.

6 Will ye also go on in their wickedness to bring down the wrath of the Most High Elohim upon you that ye, too, should be destroyed from under the shamayim?

7 Nay, my father, but repent of this evil and turn unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 thy Elohim and live.

8 So saying, I took the hatchet from the hands of the remaining mighty ones and smote him with it until he was destroyed.
