Apocrypha · Chapter 8 of 25
Vision of the Throne
I am he who was charged according to his will.
2To reconcile the rivalries of the living cherubim with one another.
3And to teach those who carry the song through the night of the seventh hour.
4I am named to restrain the threats and reptiles.
5And of Leviathan and also to rebuke it.
6I am he who received the order to loosen Hades.
7And to destroy the one who stares at the dead.
8I was named to command the stars that follow their course.
