to throw me into the depths of the sea;

In the name of the Almighty God, I command you that ye touch me not,

for I am filled with the power of God,

even unto the consuming of my flesh;

and whoso shall lay his hands upon me

shall wither even as a dried reed;

and he shall be as naught before the power of God,

for God shall smite him.

for the space of many days,

behold, my brethren and the sons of Ishmael and also their wives

began to make themselves merry,

yea, even that they did forget by what power they had been brought thither;

yea, they were lifted up unto exceeding rudeness.
