1Rabbi Ishmael said: Metatron said to me: Come and I will show you the curtains of the Omnipotent.
2Which are spread before the Holy One, blessed be He, and on which are engraved all the generations of the world.
3And all their works, both what they did and what they will do until the end of all generations.
4And I went and he showed me, pointing with his fingers as a father teaches his son.
