and as I stood upon the mount. I beheld the heavens open, and I was clothed upon with glory and I saw the Lord; he stood before my face and he talked with me, even as a man talks one with another face to face. And he said unto me, Look, and I will shew unto you the world for the space of many generations. And it came to pass that I beheld the valley Shum, and lo, a great people which dwelt in tents, which were the people of Shum. And again the Lord said unto me Look, and I looked towards the North, and I beheld the people of Canaan which dwelt in tents And the Lord said unto me prophesy: and I prophesied saying, Behold the people of Canaan which are numerous, shall go forth in battle array against the people of Shum, and shall slay them, that they shall utterly be destroyed; and the people of Canaan shall divide themselves in the land, and the land shall be barren and unfruitful, and none other people shall dwell there but the people of Canaan: [p.
