36. And in the eighth night was my heart vexed within me again, and I began to speak before the Most High.
37. For my spirit was greatly set on fire, and my soul was in distress.
38. And I said, O Lord, of a truth you spoke at the beginning of the creation, upon the first day, and said thus; Let heaven and earth be made; and your word perfected the work.
39. And then was the spirit hovering, and darkness and silence were on every side; the sound of man’s voice was not yet.
40. Then command you a ray of light to be brought forth of your treasures, that then your works might appear.
