¹ And again I saw with my eyes as I slept, and I saw the heaven above, and see a star fell from heaven, and it arose and eat and pastured among those oxen.

² And after that I saw the large and the black oxen, and see they all changed their stalls and pastures and their cattle, and began to live with each other.

³ And again I saw in the vision, and looked towards the heaven, and see I saw many stars descend and cast themselves down from heaven to that first star, and they became bulls among those cattle and pastured with them [among them].

⁴ And I looked at them and saw, and see they all let out their privy members, like horses, and began to cover the cows of the oxen, and they all became pregnant and bare elephants, camels, and asses.

⁵ And all the oxen feared them and were affrighted at them, and began to bite with their teeth and to devour, and to gore with their horns.

⁶ And they began, moreover, to devour those oxen; and see all the children of the earth began to tremble and quake before them and to flee from them.
