because of his weakness before thee;

for we know that thou art holy and dwellest in the heavens,

because of the fall our natures have become evil continually;

nevertheless, O Lord, thou hast given us a commandment

that we must call upon thee,

that from thee we may receive according to our desires.

and it was as the finger of a man, like unto flesh and blood;

and the brother of Jared fell down before the Lord,

for he was struck with fear.
