13 And this is the task of Kasbeel, the chief of the oath which he showed to the holy ones when he dwelt high above in glory, and its name is Biqa. 14 This (angel) requested Michael to show him the hidden name, that he might enunciate it in the oath, 15 So that those might quake before that name and oath who revealed all that was in secret to the children of men. And this is the power of this oath, for it is powerful and strong, and he placed this oath Akae in the hand of (under the control of) Michael. 16 And these are the secrets of this oath (God’s promise, word) that heaven was suspended before the world was created, and for ever, and they are strong through his oath (word, promise). 17 And through it the earth was founded on the water, and from the secret recesses of the mountains come beautiful waters, from the creation of the world and to eternity.
