:18:02
And they came to the Mighty
and to Cucumatz...
:18:06
...and consider ed light and life...
:18:09
''ln what manner shall life be sown...
:18:13
...and how shall light shine?
:18:16
Who shall be our ward and keeper?
:18:20
O that it may come to pass!
:18:23
This thou shalt ponder!
:18:26
Recede o ye waters,
abate ye fr om the earth!
:18:30
Let ther e be earth and her union...
:18:34
...and she shall become level...
:18:37
...so that life can be sown...
:18:40
...so that light shall be
in heaven and on earth.
:18:44
For ther e is no splendor
nor r enown, nor glory...
:18:48
... in this, our work, our cr eation...
:18:52
... lest man be built, man be cr eated.''
:18:57
Thus spake they.
:19:25
And earth was cr eated by them.
:19:31
Y es indeed, thus it came forth.
:19:35
So that earth might come forth
they said...
:19:38
...''Earth'', and at once it appear ed.
:19:44
Mer ely like a cloud, like unto a haze
when it first took shape...
:19:48
... in its first manifestation.
:19:52
Then the mountains wer e heard
rising out of the waters...
:19:55
...and they wer e majestic instanter.
