APOCALYPSE OF ADAM
143
(ύ) Fifth hour. Adoration of the waters that are above the
heavens. At this hour, 0 my son Seth, we, even 1 and the angels,
used to hear the sound of the great waves lifting up their voices
to give praise to God, because of the hidden seal of God that
moveth them.
VI. (α) ώρα S"' * ore 8εον ήσυχάζειν καϊ άναπαύσαι,, 8ιώη
φόβον.
(b) Sixth hour. Gathering of the clouds and a great holy fear
which marks the middle of the night.
VII. (α) ωρα ζ' * εν y αναπαύει, πάντα <τά> ζώα [ταΰτα].
εάν 7Ύ9 άνθρωπος καθαρός άρπάση 0Ή0 (νερον) καϊ βά\\ει αυτό
ό ίερεύς καϊ μίξη μετ' εΚαϊου καϊ άτμάση αυτό καϊ akoifry απ'
αυτό ασθενή άγρυπνουντα παρευθύ της νοσου απα\\α^ησεταί.
(b) Seventh hour. Rest of the powers and of all natures while
the waters sleep; and at this hour if anyone take water and the
priest of God mingle holy oil with it and anoint with this oil those
who are suffering and cannot sleep, they are healed.
VIII. (α) ώρα η * εν y Se άποτελ.ούμεν (? Seop άποτε'λ,εΐν')
στοι/χεΐον περϊ * καϊ παντοί,ων φυτών.
(b) Eighth hour. Thanksgivings paid to God for the bringing
forth of herbs and grain, at the time when the dew of heaven
descends upon them.
IX. (α) ώρα θ' * εν y τεΧεΐται, ού8εν.
(b) Ninth hour. Worship of the angels who stand before the
throne of the Majesty.
X. (a) Omitted in its proper place, and confused with the
Eleventh Hour.
(S) Tenth hour. Adoration of men : the gate of heaven opens
in order to let in thereby the prayers of every living thing: they
prostrate themselves and then go out. At this hour, all that a
man asks of God is granted him, at the moment when the Sera-
phim clap their wings and the cock crows.
