66 CHUS [SPEAKS]:
Zipporah, won't you give this man a drink?
67 ZIPPORAH: My
father gave this stranger as a mate to me.
68 MOSES [SPEAKS]:
There seems to be a throne on Sinai's mountain peaks,
69 so great it
reaches from the hillside up to heaven,
70 and on it sits a
noble man,
71 with diadems all
crowned, with mighty scepter held
72 in his left hand.
And with the right to me
73 he waved, and I
was set before the throne.
74 To me he gave the
scepter, and on that great throne
75 he said to sit.
The kingly being gave to me
76 the diadems, as he
himself stepped off the throne.
77 And I was looking
at the earth all circling round,
78 the things of
earth below, of heaven up above.
79 The multitude of
stars to me upon their knees
80 fell down, and I
was counting all of them
81 as they passed by
like troops of mortal men.
82 Then being
startled, I was wakened out of sleep.
83 [REUEL]: O
stranger, God has given this good sign to you
84 of life: these
things will happen to you at some time.
85 Will you, then, be
exalted on a mighty throne,
86 and be yourself a
judge and guide for mortal men?
87 And you will see
the whole inhabited earth,
88 both things below,
and things above the heaven of God. (Ezekiel the Tragedian, 66-88. Translation
taken from Craig A. Evans, The Greek Pseudepigrapha [2008])
