Then Methuselah said to them with a sorrowful heart, “ Hear me, 0 my dear children; for none of our fathers are left, but you, eight souls.

“ The Lord God created our father Adam and our mother Eve, and from them filled the earth [with] people in the neighbourhood of the garden, and multiplied their seed.

“But they have not kept'His commandment, and He will destroy them. But had they kept His commandment, He would then have filled heaven and earth with them.

“ Yet will I ask the Lord my God to bless you, to multiply you, and to spread your race in a strange land, to which ye shall go.

“And now, 0 my children, behold, God will bring you inside an ark unto a land to which ye have never been. And the Lord God of all our pure fathers, be with you !

“ And the glorious gifts God bestowed on our father Adam from the garden in this blessed Cave of Treasures, may He bestow them on you also !

“ These are the three glorious gifts which God made to Adam. The first is—kingdom wherein God made Adam king over His works. The second glorious gift is—priesthood, in that God breathed into his face a spirit of life. And the third glorious gift is—prophecy, for Adam prophesied concerning what God thought [of doing].

“ But I will ask the Lord my God, to bestow those three glorious gifts on your posterity ”

Then Methuselah said also to Noah, “ 0 Noah, thou art blessed of God. I warn thee and tell thee that I am going from thee to [be with] all our fathers that have gone before me.

“ But thou, who shalt be left alone with thy children on this holy mountain, keep the commandment I give thee, and forsake not anything of what I have told thee.
