This is My name forever, and this is My memorial from generation to generation" (Exod 3:15), "Blessed be the name..." [further combinations as printed; see scan]. Blessed be the name of His glorious kingdom forever and ever. As His name, so is His greatness; as His greatness, so is His praise; as His praise, so is His kingdom; as His kingdom, so is His holiness; as His holiness, so is His splendour; as His splendour, so is the length of His years; as the length of His years, so is His long-suffering; as His long-suffering, so is the abundance of His lovingkindness; as the abundance of His lovingkindness, so is His might; [as] His might, so is His [unclear: נקכתו, "vengeance"?]; as His [unclear: נקכתו], so is His greatness; as His greatness, so is the abundance of His mercies; as the abundance of His mercies, so is His goodness; as His goodness, so are His mercies over all His works. TO YOU IT IS FITTING [large: לך נאה], fitting for the glory of His name: the greatness, the might, the kingdom, the splendour, the victory and the majesty, for all that is in heaven and on earth is Your name [unclear: ממנו]; [unclear: לבן] the name of Your glory, and from of old Your name is in glory forever and ever. The supernal ones bless Your name; Your name is glorified; Your name is sanctified; Your name is praised; Your name is exalted above all blessing and praise. For Your name is in You and You are in Your name, for before all things Your name was established, and to the eternity of eternities Your name is established. At Your name the troops of fire tremble; the troops of flame glorify Your name and praise Your name; the seraphim laud Your name; the ḥayyot sanctify Your name; the ofanim purify Your name. For Your name made all creatures, and they have not seen Your name. At Your name the sea flees backward, and all its breakers and waves magnify Your name. All who dwell on high, and every dwelling, tremble and fear: heaven and earth, [unclear: ודריא], the deep and Abaddon, the parched land and the shadow of death, man and beast, mountains, valleys and hills, seas, rivers of fire, hail, snow and smoke, the great wind, angels of fire and angels of water: at Your name they shake. And all in whose nostrils is the breath of the spirit of life give glory to Your name. And I, David Your servant, son of Zlata, dust and ashes, broken of heart and lowly of spirit, a maggot and a worm, a passing shadow, like the flower of the field, have come to lay my supplication before You, and my prayer, to find favour in Your eyes, and grace, lovingkindness, righteousness and mercy before the throne of the glory of Your kingdom. For You are near to all who call on You and present to all who seek You, holy and awesome; for You are full of mercy; for You are pure and upright, gracious and merciful; for You are pure, God, good and forgiving; for You are pure. Do, please, [grant] my prayer, my petition and my request from before the throne of Your glory, and open for me, David son of Zlata, Your servant, the gates of prayer, the gates of repentance, the gates of understanding, the gates of wisdom, the gates of knowledge, the gates of righteousness, the gates of mercy, the gates of the fear of Heaven, the gates of blessings, the gates of livelihood and sustenance. And inscribe me in the Book of Life with the righteous, and [give] my portion in Your Torah and my lot for good life, for the sake of the glory of Your great, mighty and awesome name, the explicit, the valiant, the strong, the powerful, the wondrous, the holy, the hidden and the honoured: Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory (Isa 6:3). WHOM YOUR ANGELS [large: אשר מלאכיך], hosts [צבאין], give to You, adorn You, strengthen You, crown You; to You they ring out, glorify You, sanctify You and exalt You; in You they rejoice and break forth in song and acclaim: praise, song, psalm, blessing, laud, praise, acclaim, praise, thanksgiving, freedom, victory [נצות], melody [גגון sic], meditation, joy, gladness, rejoicing, delight, songs, pleasantness, humility, comeliness [unclear: ונוריה], truth, righteous and upright, exultation, greatness, beauty, strength, might, exaltation, [unclear: סגוב], wonders, [unclear: ויטע], quiet, rest, comfort, peace, tranquillity, peace and ease, trust, goodness, love, fellowship, comfort, grace and lovingkindness, beauty of form, light, desire, comfort, radiance, merit, brilliance, shining, appearing, adornment, brightness, light, a bough, [unclear: ועפור], brightness, [unclear: רוקח], treasure, from light, awe [ועריצו], power, height, preciousness, strength, dominion, courage, [unclear: ושאוי], exaltation, [unclear: והירון], holiness, purity, cleanness, strength, might, valour, greatness, majesty, kingdom, majesty and splendour, a crown of majesty, a diadem of awesome deeds. Whose name is pleasant and whose remembrance is sweet. Splendour is His, His majesty befits Him, His glory is lovely to Him; His ministers make pleasant [song] before Him and tell of the strength of His wonders: the King of the kings of kings, God of gods and Lord [וארוני sic] of lords, surrounded with the bonds of kingship, encircled by the boughs of the princes of brightness, whose majesty covers the heavens and whose splendour shone forth from on high. From His mouth the depths [תהומות] were burned up, and from His form the skies scattered; [unclear: נאים מפלט תארו ואיתנים מפוצץ נתרו ויקרים טורד חלקו] and every sorrowful one forgot. At His word the grasses sing for His joy, and His words flow in the heavens [unclear: טורדין] ויוצאין precious ones in flames of fire, and rivers give to those who seek [Him] in peace to your places. The King beloved, desirable and pure, who exalts Himself above all the proud, the proud one; glorified above the glorious, the glory; lifted above the mighty, the mighty one; exalted above the awesome; beauty to the kings, praise to those near Him, joy to the holy ones, and present to all who wait for His name. Good in all His ways, upright in all His works, pleasant in all His [unclear: מרותיו]; pure in counsel and in knowledge, [unclear: גדור] in understanding and in deed; Judge of every soul and witness to every word, Judge of every utterance; mighty in wisdom in every secret, zealous in purity and in all holiness. True and unique King, living and enduring King forever; King who puts to death and gives life; King who forms every wound and creates every healing; King who forms every blessing and prepares every good; King pure in all His works who sustains all His creatures; King high above every lowly one and over every strong one, strong. He is the King, high and lifted up, exalted and wondrous, precious and honoured, beloved, [unclear: ישי], strong and courageous, most high and humble, holy and pure, righteous and upright, faithful, pious and powerful, great and mighty [ונביר sic], then the mighty one [איתן] who sits on the throne high and lifted up, strong, majestic, precious, awesome, who is crowned with all the bonds of majesty and ordered with all the adornments of beauty in the inner chambers of the palace of majesty. He watches the hidden places and sees into the depths, and in every place He is there. None can answer back His words, none can delay His will and His desire, none can remove [them]; there is no place to flee from Him and no hiding place to hide from Him. He will reign forever; His throne will reign from generation to generation. King merciful and gracious, who pardons and forgives, who rolls away and passes over [sin]. You are glorified in every song; You are adorned in every pleasantness; You are exalted in the palace of majesty; You are lifted up in all beauty; You are high above all works; You are majestic over all creatures; You are honoured on the throne of Your glory; You are precious upon Your desirable vessels; You are blessed in all blessings; You are praised in all [catchword: התושבחות]

Catchword: על.] [...You are praised in all] the praises; You are lauded in all acclaim; You are acclaimed among all the myriads. Be magnified forever, be sanctified for evermore, [large: ṬṬRYM] YHWH God of Israel, King over all the worlds, Lord of all works, wise in all secrets, ruler over all spirits, God, [unclear: א'], Prince of the worlds and Lord of all works, unique King, for the eternity of eternities, selah. MAY [large: יהי] Your name be blessed forever and to the eternity of eternities. Who is like You, King who is called [large: ṬṬRSYW] YHWH, God of Israel, Lord of lords? Your Throne of Glory will be praised. To You they give majesty and might; to You they [unclear: ישכנו] strength and splendour; to You they give strength; to You they give courage; to You they renew [song]; to You they sing for joy; to You they rejoice; You they bless; You they praise; You they exalt; You they glorify; You they lift up; You they magnify; You they adorn; to You they make music; You they declare One; You they make bright [unclear: יצחצחו]; You they acclaim; You they crown; to You they sing victory [twice]; You they extol; in You they exult; You they sanctify; You they laud; to You they sing; to You they make sweet [song]; to You, ṬṬR"SYY; to You, LORD God of Israel, the seraphim give glory; to You the myriads pour forth [song]; to You, ṬṬR"SYY YHW"H, God of Israel, Your ministers. They crown You with crowns and sing You a new song and proclaim You king forever. Everything is Your dominion and over everything is Your dominion. Enduring One, forever and ever, ṬṬR"SY YHW"H, God of Israel. Blessed are You, LORD, King over all secrets and Lord of all hidden things. And when the Holy One, blessed be He, calls the Youth, this is what He calls him: ZHW BRY"'L, ZH WHDR', ZH T"R WHW"BD WHW"BD, and his bynames are 'H"T DY"ʿY 'ḤW"R GZ"Y HHW"H, [who] blazes with fire. ʿARAVOT 'NDRY RW"RY'A: this is the name of the Youth. [Aram.] "One who does not learn deserves death, and one who makes use of the crown passes away." From the appearance of his loins downward they resemble one another, and from the appearance of his loins upward they do not resemble one another. The name of the Youth is like the name of his Master, as it is said, "for My name is in him" (Exod 23:21). The name of the Holy One, blessed be He, is seventy-two letters, and the name of the Youth is seventy-two letters. When he ascends, [it is] 26 letters; when he descends, 27 letters. "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter" (Prov 25:2), so that you will not be driven from the world. [Aram.] "Seventy-two of the King of the world." From here on you have no permission to speak, for so it is written in the book of Ben Sira: "What is too wondrous for you, do not seek; what is hidden from you, do not investigate. Consider what you know, and have no business with hidden things" (Sir 3:21–22). And [we learn] one from the other, for so our sages of blessed memory taught: "The forbidden unions are not expounded before three, nor the Work of Creation before two, nor the Chariot even before one, unless he is wise and understands on his own; then the chapter headings are given over to him" (m. Ḥagigah 2:1). THE NAME [large: השם]: May my eyes be enlightened to understand what is said, "the beginning of the building." [The derivation follows by the letter-exchange ciphers 'LB"M (Albam) and 'Ḥ"S (Aḥas). It is given here literally:] So it comes out: from the yod of Albam it goes up to the yod of Albam; the he' comes out from the zayin, and from the zayin of Aḥas and from the lamed of Albam, and goes up to the yod of Aḥas. "R' panim" [unclear] comes out from the yod and from the pe' he' of Aḥas and from the lamed of Albam, and goes up to the yod of Aḥas. This is the name, and this is the Explicit Name. Blessed are You, LORD, our God, King of the universe, who has commanded us [unclear: אק"בו] concerning the words of the holy name. Rabbi Akiva said: Since this descent and ascent was explained to the children of Israel, they established for me 50 [נ'] blessings in the court above and in the court below. And whoever studies the order of the Work of Creation, I have established a blessing for him every day in the court above and in the court below; in the house where they study it, how much more so the blessings. And moreover, I love him and make him fruitful. AND WHOEVER [large: וכל מי] wishes to grow wise every day should take this book and read it from beginning to end. In the house where this book is, no fire will fall, nor harm, nor destroyer, nor want. [The phrase "nor want" is printed twice, sic.] The ḥayyot asked Moses our teacher, peace be upon him, the name that ministers above. A DREAM QUESTION [large: שאלת], tested and tried: wash your hands clean, and anoint [משן] your left hand with lily water, and write on it thus: "You angels, holy ones, R'"Q ŠMK"N, come and tell me all my question plainly, as you told Joseph the interpretation of the dream. And now, if you are [יש־כם, "if it be your will"] to show kindness and truth, tell me." [large: '''A SMM], NṢḤ NṢḤ NṢḤ NṢḤ. And lie on your right side, and it is good that the left [side be under you] [reading וטוב שיהיה השמאלית], and you will see and be amazed. A DREAM QUESTION [large: שאלת], tested and tried: fast three days in purity, humility and fear, put on clean white garments, and cleanse yourself of all impurity. Purify yourself for three days, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and do not eat until Thursday. On Thursday night, light a lamp in your house and lie on the ground in the middle of your house with your face toward the light of the lamp, and speak your question and request, and adjure him: "I adjure you by the Explicit Name, who dwells in the clouds of the upper heavens, that you come in this night, with a favourable eye and a whole heart, and come to me only in love, and speak my question to me, what I ask of you, and interpret my question for me as Gabriel interpreted Pharaoh's dream for Joseph, and his words were true. So come to me in this night in truth and [unclear: ותסתיר] my question and my request in your [unclear: בשבך], for your name is the Prince Meṭaṭron. By the Explicit Name who sits on the wheels of the Chariot, by the name of the Living and Enduring One who sits in ʿAravot, B"Y" [?] His name, and they exult before Him; by the name of the great, mighty and awesome God, who is beloved, desirable and faithful. I have adjured you, Prince Meṭaṭron, by 'EHYEH 'ASHER 'EHYEH, who was revealed to Moses son of Amram from the midst of the bush. Blessed are You, LORD; teach me Your statutes (Ps 119:12). By the name that is explained in 70 [נ' sic?] languages, exalted in seventy languages and most exalted in seventy names. And I adjure you by the name that makes the world quake, at whose name the troops above and below tremble, "at His wrath the earth quakes, and the nations cannot endure His indignation" (Jer 10:10). "Blessed be the glory of the LORD from His place," and "Blessed be the name of His glorious kingdom forever and ever." I HAVE ADJURED [large: השבעתי] you, Prince Meṭaṭron, by the name of the God of Israel, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and by the names of the angels who stand before [Aram.] the great God. These are the seven angels: Mikha'el, Gavri'el, Rafa'el, ʿAna'el, Yeṣuri'el, Ṭari'el and ʿUzi'el. [catchword: על]

Diagram: see scan.] "...for the sake of (על) Your Name and Your truth; Your Name is Gracious and Merciful; Your Name — Blessed be the Name of His glorious kingdom for ever and ever (בשכמל"ו)." I adjure you (אשבעית), Prince Metatron (מטטרון), by the names of the princes appointed over the four seasons (תקופות) of the year: the first, Nuriel (נוריאל) [unclear], Tzadkiel (צדקיאל); the second, Uziel (עזיאל), Samael (סמאל), Anael (ענאל); the third, Zechariel (זכריאל), Samniel (סמניאל) [unclear]; the fourth, Gabriel (גבריאל), Raphael (רפאל) [unclear in the line]; these princes rule over each season of that year. I adjure you (אשבעית אוחך [sic, for אותך]), Prince Metatron, by the Name blessed and to be blessed, exalted above all blessing and praise. For Your Name is in You and You are in Your Name; before all things Your Name is established, and Your Name shall endure for ever and ever. At Your Name the troops of the upper and lower worlds tremble; Your Name they glorify, and all the troops on high glorify Your Name. They have not seen Your Name; all tremble at Your Name. The sea flees backwards for fear of Your Name, and all its breakers and waves magnify and glorify Your Name. The earth trembles when You look upon it, and its pillars totter and fear Your Name. Your Name is over everything from eternity. The dwellers of the world fear and tremble at the dread of Your Name; the dwellers of the deep and of Abaddon, the desert and the shadow of death, quake at Your Name. The Garden of Eden and all Your pious ones sing to Your Name, and all that has the breath of the spirit of life in its nostrils gives glory to Your Name with the sweetness of its tongue. Give glory to Your Name! And I am dust and ashes, a maggot and a worm, broken-hearted and lowly of spirit, a passing shadow, like a flower of the field. I have come to lay my supplication before You and to ask mercy from before You and before Your throne of glory, for You are near to all who call on You and are found by those who seek You. Please fulfil my request with favour from before You, hasten my petition in mercy, and do my desire, for You formed me. [Margin heading: ואחר — "And afterward":] After all this, speak your wish, with your face downward: "And He, being merciful, forgives iniquity and does not destroy; many times He turns His anger away and does not stir up all His wrath" (Ps 78:38). "And the LORD came down in a cloud ... and took of the spirit that was upon him and put it upon the seventy elders, and when the spirit rested upon them they prophesied, and did not cease [sic: ולא יספו]" (Num 11:25). [Margin heading: ויעבור — "And passed":] "And the LORD passed by before him and proclaimed..." etc.; "keeping kindness for thousands" etc. (Ex 34:6–7); "and pardon our iniquity" etc. (Ex 34:9); "for with You is forgiveness" etc. (Ps 130:4); "O LORD hear, O LORD forgive, O LORD attend" etc. (Dan 9:19); "And Jacob went out from Beersheba" etc.; "and he came upon the place and lodged there" etc.; "and he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up" etc.; "and behold the LORD stood above it"; "and your seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and you shall spread out" etc.; "and behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go" etc. (Gen 28:10–15). Say all these verses with intention, with your face downward, and you will see your desire. [Heading, large type: זהו שם המפורש — "This is the Explicit Name":] which our master Moses, peace be upon him (מרע"ה), mentioned at the Bush. Whoever mentions it over a prince [or: over the demon? השר] — he will flee; over fire — it will be quenched; over sickness — it will be healed; over [evil] thoughts (הרהורית) — יתיר"ש [unclear abbreviation]. And if a person mentions it and writes it against an enemy, he will die; against a ruler, he will love him. And beware not to read it unless you are pure and clean of all impurity; whoever reads it while not pure and clean will surely die. And thus one must say: "I decree upon you, [large] Haniel (חניאל), Hasriel (חסריאל) and Tzadkiel (צדקיאל), by this Name, that you do for me such-and-such." And this is the Name that comes from the three verses of ויסע, ויבא, ויט (Ex 14:19–21), and he combines them with one another: beginning, end and beginning. And this is the honoured and awesome Name, explicit in seventy-two names, and these are they: והו ילי סיט עלם מהש ללה אכא כהת הזי אלד לאו ההע יזל מבה הרי הקם לאו כלי לוו פהל נלך ייי מלה חהו נתה האא ירת שאה ריי אום לכב ושר יחו להח כוק מנד אני חעם רהע ייז ההה מיך וול ילה סאל ערי עשל מיה והו דני החש עמם ננא נית מבה פוי נמם ייל הרח מצר ומב יהה ענו מחי דמב מנק איע חבו ראה יבם היי מום — Blessed be the Name of His glorious kingdom for ever and ever.

Take another copper plate (טס) and write on it the name Kasitron (קסיטרון), the name of the officer (השוטר), and the names of the angels. Throw it into the vessel and say, with your face set: "I adjure you, angels of Mada (מדע) (another reading: Maza, מזע), that you turn the heart of So-and-so (f.) or So-and-so son of So-and-so (f.), that she do nothing without me, and that her heart or his heart come quickly to me." Then take the flask and hide it in a place of passage (מעברה). This is written on Thursday (יום ה'), at the fourth hour of the day, on a Thursday that has no Thursday after it in that month. These are the angels and the officer with them. The officer is Palmia (פלמ"יא), and these are his ministers: Abriah (אבר"יה), Azmarhi (אזמר"הי), Damanhi (דמנ"הי), Amanhar (אמנ"הר), Apnokh (אפנו"ך), Patbiza (פטבי"זא), Tobiel (טוביא"ל), Galiel (גליא"ל), Ophori (אופור"י), Gamti (גמת"י), Orniel (אורניא"ל), Maniel (מניא"ל), Uvamto (ובמ"תו) [unclear], Sartan (סרט"ן), Tzabkatni (צבקת"ני), Bamartias (במרתיא"ס), Sarpit (סרפי"ת), Karsoin (כרסו"ין), Ama'af (אמא"ף), Pakhahar (פכה"ר), Hastir (הסתי"ר), Satariel (סתריא"ל), Elisam (אליס"ם), Halsiel (הלסיא"ל), Sorsapi (סור"ספי), Karkotot (קרכוט"ות), Malbiel (מלביא"ל), Atsaf (אתס"ף), Ami'el (אמי"אל), Paratam (פרט"ם), Gadriel (גדריא"ל), Sababiel (סבביא"ל), Kokhav (כוכ"ב). These are the angels who serve Tes (בט"ס) [unclear], and these are the angels who incite the heart of the king, the mind of the great, and the heart of human beings. [Margin heading: ואם תרצה — "And if you wish":] And if you wish to bring the king, or if you seek to show his likeness to your lover or your friend, by these wondrous things of this holy and honoured book: mention the names of these holy angels and the name of the officer, and you will succeed. These are the names of the angels who serve Dalkiel (דלקיאל), who stands in the third dwelling (מעון) and rules over flames of fire: Nurah (נור"ה), Oyel (אוי"ל), Malkiah (מלכי"ה), Huliel (חוליא"ל), Hadiel (חדיא"ל), Shalhiel (שלחי"אל), Havuel (חבוא"ל), Tzagriel (צגריא"ל), Bamkiel (במכיא"ל), Akriel (עקריא"ל), Sasniel (ססניא"ל), Banbiel (בנביא"ל), Tumnael (תומנא"ל), Amliel (עמליא"ל), Talmataf (תלמט"ף), Vatatniel (וטתניא"ל) [unclear], Arpiel (ארפיא"ל), Agniel (אגניא"ל), Mashriel (משריא"ל), Amnagnau (אמנגנאו'). Say "thus and thus shall you do", and they do it; and you will succeed, but only in purity. [Margin heading: ואם תרצה — "And if you wish":] And if you wish to fill the house with smoke and fire that blazes but burns nothing: take ע"גר אגר"י [unclear: perhaps a drug name] or pariyon (פריון) [unclear] and put it on coals of fire. Its smoke will rise inside the house; as the smoke rises, mention the name of the officer and of these angels, and say: "Thus I adjure you, angels wrapped in fire, by Him who is all fire, whose seat is on a throne of fire, whose ministers are blazing fire and whose camp is fire, ministers of fire before Him: by His great Name I adjure you to show me this great wonder, and I shall not fear." When you finish speaking, you will see the house full of fire. And if you wish to quench it, say this: "I adjure you, mighty angels, that you quench this great fire (אות [sic, for את] האש) and that it not stay one hour in the house." When you finish, the fire will sink down and go out at once, without ash, without anything. Only do it in purity, and you will succeed. [Margin heading: אלה — "These":] These are the names of the angels who serve in the sixth camp with Paskar (פסכ"ר): Oyael (אויא"ל), Arbiel (ארביא"ל), Tripon (טריפ"ון), Pikhabom (פיכב"ום), Pastmar (פסת"מר), Langiel (לנגיא"ל), Kronirn (קרוני"רן), Shubhan (שוב"הן), Sabiran (סביר"ן), Uziel (עוזיא"ל), Paniel (פניא"ל), Tarmiel (תרמיא"ל), Hamamiel (חממיא"ל), Tzahamiel (צהמיא"ל), Bimatom (בימת"ום), Garzaniyat (גרזנ"יית), Gorantael (גורנטא"ל), Baruba (בארוב"א), Armor (ערמ"ור), Harmor (הרמו"ר), Zabnos (זבנו"ס), Hasmael (חסמא"ל), Nurdiel (נורדיא"ל), Panion (פניא"ון), Karmiel (קרמיא"ל), Bafliya (בפליי"א), Armiel (ארמיא"ל), Armon (ערמ"ון), Apusel (עפוס"אל), Sapriel (ספריא"ל), Katniel (קתניא"ל), Shababiel (שבביא"ל), Armiyinom (ארמיינ"ום), Tupimom (טופימ"ום), Patzatziel (פצציא"ל), Hatpiel (חטפיא"ל), Parsumon (פרסומ"ון), Nahliel (נחליא"ל). [Margin heading: ואלה — "And these":] And these are the mighty angels (הנבורים [sic, for הגבורים]) who gird on strength and might to run from place to place, to bring a person who is in a distant land to his house, flying in a single hour like a bird, or to bring back a slave who has fled. Take four copper plates and write on each one of them his name, his mother's name, the name of Paskar and the names of the angels who serve before him. Then say: "I hand over to you, angels of might, So-and-so son of So-and-so (f.), that you do not delay him in any place where he stays, and that you turn his heart, whether in a city or a province, at sea or on dry land, at food or at drink; and that you make him fly like a bird and bring him against his will, and do not leave him to linger, by day or by night." Place [the plates] at the four corners of the house: חסין יה אהיה (Hasin Yah Ehyeh, "Mighty, Yah, I-Will-Be") — repeated in a block of six, laid out as printed. אישון נוריה (Ishon Nuriah).
