Chapter 3
For two years the migrants remained in the countries they visited; traveling extensively, showing themselves, and relating a history of the country from which they came.
Then the Lord spoke to the migrants in their respective places, saying: Behold, the time has come for your departure. Gather together, O my beloved, and return to your own country, and relate there all the glories that your God has shown you.
So they departed, and returned to their own respective places. And, behold, it took four years to accomplish the journey.
Now during the migrants’ travel, the Lord spoke to them every day through the I’hin priests.
The Lord said: Keep together, O my beloved. I will lead you; you shall not be lost.
Nevertheless, the journey was so long that many lost faith, and were not mindful of the words of God. And some of them strayed off among the I’huans, the barbarians, and were lost.
Of the six thousand migrants, ten tribes were lost; in all, three hundred and eighty-six people, men and women. Some were lost in one place and some in another.
God said: Sing songs of lamentations to my chosen who are lost, the Faithists in Jehovih. For this also shall become a matter of record to the end of the world.
Nevertheless, a time shall come when the Lord your God shall reveal the mystery of this day.
So, when the people had returned to their respective places, behold, they all sang songs of lamentation for the tribes that were lost.
God said: I have shown you the far distant people; I have marked out the road. Keep the road open; keep the travel open between the great countries I have shown you.
Every eleven years one expedition shall start to the far-off countries. And if by chance you find my chosen, bring them home. 17/3.13 And on all the camping places of your journey, you shall build an altar to the Lord your God. You shall build it in the shape of a circle; and the congregation shall sit in this circle, but the priest shall sit in its center. And, behold, I will speak through the mouth of my priest, words of wisdom and comfort.
But in all your journeys, keep aloof 448 from the I’huans, the barbarians, the man-eaters. For they did not keep my commandments; nor did they preserve their seed through the circumcision.
But they mixed with the druks (ground people) and went down in darkness (barbarism).
Keep away from them, O my beloved; on all your expeditions, carry with you I’hin priests, the sacred people, the mound-builders.
In all your journeys you shall encounter your brethren coming and going, who dwell in the far-off countries. So that you may distinguish them, keep secret the sacred password and the rites of my chavah (order).
