1 After this I looked and saw a door having been opened in the shamayim. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here and I shall show you what has to take place after this.”
2 And immediately I came to be in the Ruaḥ and saw a throne placed in the shamayim, and seated on the throne.
3 And He who sat there was like a jasper and a ruby stone in appearance. And there was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald in appearance.
4 And around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white robes. And they had crowns of gold on their heads.
5 And out of the throne came lightnings, and thunders, and voices. And seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Ruaḥoth of Elohim.
6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures, covered with eyes in front and in back.
7 And the first living creature was like a lion, and the second living creature like a calf, and the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.
8 And the four living creatures, each having six wings, were covered with eyes around and within. And they do not cease, day or night, saying, “qodesh, qodesh, qodesh, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Ĕl Shaddai, who was, and who is, and who is coming!”
9 And when the living creatures give esteem and respect and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever,
10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and bow before Him who lives forever and ever, and they cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 “You are worthy, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, to receive esteem and respect and power, for You have created all, and because of Your desire they are, and were created.”
