of wisdom and the cunning of helpfulness, just as a man speaks to his

neighbour. For I have conjured thee with these Names, that are great and

mighty and wonderful and awe-inspiring, and proved and arranged in proper

order, through which the glorious throne has been established and the

beautiful seat of the Most High, which has been wonderfully wrought, long

before thou and the heavenly hosts had been created, "While as yet He had

not made the earth nor the fields, and the inhabitants of the earth and the

creatures therein" (Prov. viii, 26).

'I call thee further by (the power) of the five selected Names, to which only

one is superior, and this is their form : SNNQ SꢁNYH RTYH ALYHW ÿT

SꢁNYSS HW HYH ALYHW HWDRNHW ÿŠMŠ ALH PTꢁNWQ SꢁHW SSÿN

YHW ALYHW AZHNK PTꢁPTꢁRY HYH YHWH YHW ALYHW. I conjure

thee by these five Names, which correspond to the five names of God,

whose letters are written on burning fire, and they circle round the throne of

glory, one ascending and the other descending, so that the angels of the

Presence should not behold them, and this is their equivalent and form and

glory : ATLMT GNYSS HWH YHYH QRYMWS QRYR HWH YHYH

YHB AHY SGNHWH YHW TTMGGYH YHB HWRGH YHW YHB

AQNYÿP SꢁR ZD ŠQTTH HYH . I conjure thee by these, as thou knowest

their praise and greatness, which no mouth can utter, and no ear can hear,

no, not even one of them. Thou hast been commanded and ordered by the

Most High: "as soon as thou hearest anyone conjuring thee with these

names, to do honor to My Name, and to descend quickly and fulfill the wish

of the man who makes thee hear them; but if thou tarriest I will push thee

into the fiery river Rigayōn and place another in thy stead." Do it, therefore,

for His Name, and come quickly to me, N, son of N, not in a terror, and not

in fear, not with fiery coals, not with hailstone, and not with the sleet and

treasures of snow, and not with the howling of the storm, and not with the

provinces of the whirlwind that usually accompany thee, and do my bidding

and fulfill my desire, for everything is in thy hand; by the permission of thy

God, the master over all and thy lord, and with His Names I conjure thee to

attach thyself quickly to me; come and fulfill my wish, and do not tarry.

'I further call thee with the greatest of thy Names, the pleasant and beloved

one, which is the same as that of thy Master, save one letter, with which He

created and formed everything, and which He placed as a seal upon all the

work of His hand; and this is its equivalent – MQSꢁTT MGMSSꢁYY

and the other in the language of purity is read so : YHWH YW HWH
