1. Now for every sky that was made twelve Gates with their Porches high and wide, every one of the Gates opposite its pair, and over every one of the Porches strong guardians in front of it.

2. Then in those Porches in every one of its Gates was made six Lintels, and in every one of the Lintels thirty Corners, and twelve Stones in every corner.

3. Then was erected the Lintels and Corners and Stones with their tops in the height of the heavens; and then was connected the air at the bottom of the earths with the skies.

4. Next round this universe was put a Moat, to throw into it the darknesses that are distilled from the Light, but the dregs and the darkness were gathered together and cast down into the Abyss.

5. Behind that Moat was set a Wall, so that, of that Darkness separated from the Light, nothing should escape.
