1. On the third day I was sitting under an oak tree
2. when a voice came out of a bush opposite me and said, "Ezra, Ezra!"I said: "I’m here, Lord!" and I got up on my feet.He said to me:
3. "I revealed myself in a bush and spoke to Moses when my people were enslaved in Egypt.
4. I sent him and brought my people out of Egypt, and I led him to Mount Sinai, and I kept him with me for many days.
5. I told him many wondrous things and showed him the secrets of the times and the end of the times. I commanded him, saying,
6. ‘You will make these words public, but you will keep these other words secret.’
7. Now I say to you,
8. the signs that I showed you, the dreams that you saw, and the interpretations you heard—place them in your heart!
9. You will be taken from among human beings, and you will associate from now on with my Son and with those who are like you until the times are finished.
10. The age is no longer young, and the times are beginning to grow old.
11. The age is divided into twelve parts. Nine parts and half of the tenth part have already passed.
