Sword of Moses

Sword of Moses

In the name of the mighty and holy God.

Four angels are appointed to the "Sword" given by the Lord, the Master of mysteries, and they are appointed to the Law, and they see with penetration the mysteries from above and below; and these are their names: ŠQDHḤZY MRGYZYAL, WHDRZYWLW, TḤWTḤRYSY[H]. And over these are five others, holy and mighty, who meditate on the mysteries of God in the world for seven hours every day, and they are appointed to thousands of thousands, and to myriads of thousands of Chariots, ready to do the will of their Creator, AHYH, HYH, HYH, the Lord of Lords and the honoured god; these are their names: MHYHWGSṢY, PHḤDWTTGS, ASQRYHW, ŠYTYNYHḤWM, QTGNYPRY. And the Master of each Chariot upon which they are appointed wonders and says: "Is there any number of his armies?" And the least of these Chariots is lord and master over those four. And over these are three chiefs of the hosts of the Lord, who make every day tremble and shake His eight halls, and they have the power over every creature. Under them stand a double number of Chariots, and the least of them is lord and master over all the above Chiefs; and these are their names: ASQWHHY, ŠTṢRYSHWYH, SHWTGYAYH. And the name of the Lord and king is AHYWPSQTYH, who sits, and all the heavenly hosts kneel, and prostrate themselves before Him daily, before ŠLAH, HW, AWHH, the Lord over all.

And when thou conjure him he will attach himself to thee, and cause the other five Chiefs and their Chariots, and the lords that stand under them, to attach themselves to thee just as they were ordered to attach themselves to Moses, son of Amram, and to attach to him all the lords that stand under them; and they will not tarry in their obeisance, and will not withhold from giving authority to the man who utters the conjuration over this "Sword," its mysteries and hidden powers, its glory and might, and they will not refuse to do it, as it is the command of ABDWHW, HWH, ALYH, saying: "Ye shall not refuse to obey a mortal who conjures you, nor should you be different to him from what you were to Moses, son of Amram, when you were commanded to do so, for he is conjuring you with My Ineffable names, and you render honour to My name and not to him. If you should refuse I will burn you, for you have not honored me."

Each of these angels had communicated to him (Moses) a propitious thing for the proper time. These things are all words of the living God and King of the Universe, and they said to him:

"If thou wishest to use this 'Sword' and to transmit it to the following generations, (then know) that the man who decides to use it must first free himself three days previously from accidental pollution and from everything unclean, eat and drink once every evening, and must eat the bread from a pure man or wash his hands first in salt [Meaning uncertain], and drink only water; and no one is to know that he intends using this 'Sword,' as therein are the mysteries of the Universe, and they are practiced only in secret, and are not communicated but to the chaste and pure. On the first day when you retire from (the world) bathe once and no more, and pray three times daily, and after each prayer recite the following Blessing:

"Blessed art thou, QWSYM , O Lord our God, King of the Universe, who openest the gates of the East and cleavest the windows of the firmament of the Orient, and givest light to the whole world and its inhabitants, with the multitude of His mercies, with His mysteries and secrets, and teachest Thy people Thy secrets and mysteries, and hast revealed unto them the "Sword" used by the world; and Thou sayest unto them: "If anyone is desirous of using this 'Sword,' by which every wish is fulfilled and every secret revealed, and every miracle, marvel, and prodigy are performed, then speak to Me in the following manner, read before Me this and that, and conjure in such and such a wise, and I will instantly be prevailed upon and be well disposed towards you, and I will give you authority over this Sword, by which to fulfill all that you desire, and the Chiefs will be prevailed upon by you, and my holy ones will be well disposed towards you and they will fulfill instantly your wishes, and will deliver to you my secrets and reveal to you my mysteries, and my words they will teach you and my wonders they will manifest to you, and they will listen and serve you as a pupil his master, and your eyes will be illuminated and your heart will see and behold all that is hidden, and your size will be increased." Unto Thee I call, SWQYM, Lord of the Universe. Thou art He who is called YHWGH HW, King of the Universe. Thou art called PHWZGH WHWW ALYH, merciful king. Thou art called ZHWTGYHH, living king. Thou art called SṢHPRWHW HWH ALYH, humble king. Thou art called SPTḤHWTHW, righteous king. Thou art called QNYWHY HW HY, lofty king. Thou art called ŠHRW SGHWRY, perfect king. Thou art called SPQS HḤPYH, upright king. Thou art called QTTH GTHY, glorious king. Thou art called PTRYS HḤWPYHW, youthful king. Thou art called RʿPQ SṢYWHYH, pleasant king. Thou art called HḤWSH YHW, and thou listenest to my prayer, for Thou hearkenest unto prayer; and attach unto me Thy servants the lords of the "Sword," for Thou art their king, and fulfill my desire, for evening is in Thy hands, as it is written: "Thou openest thine hand and satisfiest every living being with favor."

"I conjure you, AZLYAL called HWDY WHW HW HWH; I conjure you, ARAL called SQRYSYHYH, TḤʿNYAL called ATRSṢ AHYH YH, TḤPAL called HWPQY HWH AHYH, and the most glorious of these HLYKYH HWA YWPYAL MYTḤTḤRWN called GHWDPTḤHW HH YHH, the glory from above. With the permission of my king I conjure thee YDYAL called SGHWH HYH RʿŠYAL called MHWPTKYHYYSṢ, HḤNYAL called WHW PGTḤYH, HNYAL called PHWSṢPNYGYH, AŠRAL called THMWTYHYH, YŠRYAL called QNYTY PSṢYH, ʿŠRYAL called YHWT NTḤHYHYH, ʿMWHAL called RWPNYNYH SSYH, and ASṢRAL called ŠHGNW TGYHH, that you attach yourselves to me and surrender the "Sword" to me, so that I may use it according to my desire, and that I find shelter under the shadow of our Lord in heaven in the glorious Name, the mighty and awe-inspiring HW HY HHY HW HH AH WH YHYH HWY HW HY HW NA HWH YHW YA HW HW YH YHW HY HW YA YH WH HW YA HW HWA HW YH WH YH HW HWH YHY HW YH AHYH WH, the twenty-four letters of the Crown; that you deliver unto me with this "Sword" the secrets from above and below, the mysteries from above and below, and my wish be fulfilled and my word hearkened unto, and my prayer received through the conjuration with the Ineffable name of God which is glorified in the world, through which all the heavenly hosts are tied and bound; and this is the Ineffable Name — HH HH HWH HHYY YWHH AHWH NYH HWH PH WHW HYH SḤHW AH WH HYH WH YH WH YH SYH WH YH WYH, blessed be he! (I conjure you) that you shall not refuse me nor hurt me, nor frighten and alarm me, in the tremendous Name of your king, the terror of whom rests upon you, and who is called PRZMWTGYH SRHḤWQTYH HYGNYTYH TḤRSNYHYH QRZMTHW SḤNYH YH WH HYH HW HY HA HWH AHH HHY AHWH HWH HYH AH WH YH YHH YHW YHY AW HH AH HH HA HYH AH ZQDYDRYH. Fulfill for me everything that I have been conjuring you for, and serve me, for I have conjured you not with the name of one who is great among you but with that of the Lord over all, whose name ties and binds and keeps and fastens all the heavenly hosts. And if you should refuse me, I will hand you over to the Lord God and to his Ineffable name, whose wrath and anger and fire are kindled, who honours his creatures with one letter of His name, and is called ZRWGDQNTḤA QSḤWPSḤHḤTYH AHWH-SHḤTY GYH NYGYM HYGYH HW YH HNYH HWH QLSḤG; so that if you refuse he will destroy you, and you will not he found when searched after. And you preserve me from shortness of spirit and weakness of body in the name of HḤZQAY AHYH WH YH HH YHH YH WH HH YH HYH AHYW YH HYW YHY WHWY HY HWY YH QQHWH SQQHWH, the guardian of Thy people. Blessed art Thou, who understandest the secrets and revealest the mysteries, and art king of the Universe.'"

Avoice was heard in the heavens, the voice of the Lord of the heavens, saying: "I want a swift messenger (to go) to man, and if he fulfills my message my children will become proud of the 'Sword' which I hand over to them, which is the head of all the mysteries of which also my seers have spoken, that thus will my word be, as it is said: 'Is not my word like as fire? saith the Lord'" (Jer. xxiii, 29). Thus spoke PGNYNYNW GSYH, the lord of heaven and earth; and I, ASSY ASYSYH APRGSYH , the swift messenger, who am pleased with my messages and delighted with my sending, ascended before Him, and the Lord over all commanded me: "Go and make this known to men who are pious and good and pure and righteous and faithful, whose heart is not divided and in whose mouth is no duplicity, who do not lie with their tongues and do not deceive with their lips, who do not grasp with their hands and are not lustful with their eyes, who do not run after evil, keep aloof from every uncleanness, depart from every defilement, keep themselves holy from contamination, and do not approach woman." When the Lord ever all commanded me thus, I, ASSY ASYSYH APRGSYH, the swift messenger, went down to earth, and I said on my way: "Where is the man who possesses all these that I should go to him and place this with him?" And I asked myself, and thought in my heart that there is no man who would do all this that I wished; and I found none, and it was heavy unto me. And the Lord over all conjured me by His mighty right arm, and by the lustre of His glory and His glorious crown, which is called HWD HWH RYH ʿQN HY DRYH TḤHR QRWNNYH, with an oath of His mighty right arm, and He conjured me, and the lord over all strengthened me and I did not fall. I thus stood up, I, ASSY ASYSYH APRGSYH, to put NN in the possession of the desired covenant, in the name of QMBGL ʿQMH WH ZRWMTYH YHW YKRWQ ZNWTYH YRPHW HḤTYH QSḤY SḤYHSḤ YHSḤ YHSḤ."

"This is the great and glorious Name which has been given as a tradition to man — YH BYH ASḤ AH BAH HWY HW HW WH YA HW ZH WH WH AH YH YHW HH YHW YHW AQP HY HH YYAH HH HAH HWAH HHWH HYY HW HW HY, holy, glorious, glorious, Selah. Recite it after thy prayers. And these are the names of the angels that minister to the son of man: MYTḤTḤRWN SGRDTSḤYH MQTḤTḤRWN SNGWTYQTAL NGYQTGAL YGWATQTYAL ANTNQSAL ANTWSSTYAL MYKAL-SRWG-GBRYAL ŠQTKNYH HDQRWNTYAL ANHSGAL YHWAL TYZRT, NSYAL SYGSTḤHAL ʿNPY QQPYAL NHR GSGNHYAL YKNY ATYHAL AQTQLYQAL YNH GYTYAL YH." "In a similar manner shall you serve me NN; and receive my prayer and my orisons, and bring them to God YHWH HH SHH AHH HH WHWH, blessed be He! for I adjure you in His name, and I extol you (to ascend), like unto the bird that flies from its nest, and remember my meritorious deeds before Him and (make Him) forgive now my sins on account of my words of supplication, and you may not refuse me in the name of HH HH WH WYH YH WYH WHWH WYHH WYH AH HHWY AHW YA HYHY HW HW YHW H H HWH YHWH, blessed be He! SḤBAWT SḤBAWT, Selah. His servants sanctify Him and praise Him with sweet melody, and say: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of holy name; the whole earth is full of His glory"; and do not refuse me, in the name of HW HYH YH YY YHW HY HWH HH HHYH HWYH HHW HHYW AHW AHH AYH AY AH YHW, who lives for ever, and in the name of DYTḤYMWN QYRYAS WHW ARQS GNLYAWS QWSMWS QLYQS ASQLYTḤTRA AYLY ALY MWPYSPRA STḤNDANS TḤLASY QTḤM ANTPRGW PYGH DYHY MYTQAS TTḤA DWNYTḤA TTMNAS TḤWP DWNZ MTḤYGA TḤHW HWTḤR ZYQQTYHW AHWNY (?

BSḤRM) MSḤRPYH TSQYHW, of the great One from whom nothing is hidden, who sees and is not seen, and in the name of Him who is the chief over the heavens, DTḤYRQTYH and is called YHW YHW WA WH. And the King of the Universe utters (this name) also in a different manner, thus YHW AH YH HYH WHHH YH WH YH YHW HH [Text continues with divine names]. You swift messenger, do not tarry and do not frighten me, but come and do all my wants in the name of YHW HHYW AHYW HHW HW HYH HHY HWH YH WH HHY YH HW HYW HYH HWTḤR QTNGYH QWSSYH AHWNYH AL HY NQTḤSAL YH HWH NYGGHH PSQTYH HY HWH YH ZRWMTH HY HH YH, the great One, who sees and is not seen, AHWH, whose Ineffable Name is revealed to the heavenly hosts; and I conjure you by this Ineffable Name, such as it was revealed to Moses by the mouth of the Lord over all, YHWH HWH YHWH HYH YHWH HWH YHYH TBYNW AYH YHWŠ AHYŠH AGRYPTḤ YHW SḤBAWT, is His name. Blessed art thou, O God, lord of mighty acts, who knowest all the mysteries."

And which are the letters which ŠQDHḤZY communicated to Moses? He said to him: "If thou wishest to get wise and to use the 'Sword,' call me, and conjure me, and strengthen me, and fortify me, and say: 'ŠQDHḤZY, with the great, holy, wonderful, pure, precious, glorious, and awe-inspiring secret Name AQPTH, HNH, NHH, YRK, YDKYRWHW YH YH SḤYQʿSḤ, with these letters I conjure thee to surrender to me and make me wise and attach to me the angels which minister to the "Sword," in the name of the Revealer of mysteries. Amēn.'"

Write with ink on leather and carry about with you during those three days of purification, and invoke before and after prayer the following Names communicated to Moses by MRGYZYAL, etc. (the 13 Chiefs mentioned at the beginning, and a long string of other mysterious names which are said to have been communicated to Moses: QTGNYPYY (QTGNYPRY) STḤRYSHWYH (ŠTḤRYSHWYH) SHWTGAYYH (SHWTGYAYH); PSQTYH ŠMGYHH ASWNYHH HHWAL HLAL QMMAH ALHYH SMH MSKPNHYH QNQSHYH MKNWSYH/MKSWNYH. The rest consists of a gigantic string of the letters Hē, Waw and Yod. The text then ensues :) "And they have not hidden from him any of these sacred Ineffable names or letters, and have not given him instead the Substitutes of any of these sacred letters, for thus were they ordered by the Lord of all mysteries to communicate to him this 'Sword,' with these Names which constitute the mysteries of this 'Sword'; and they said to him 'Command the generations which will come after thee to say the following blessing prior to their prayer, lest they be swept away by the fire':

'Blessed art Thou AYZWA AYZWNYS AYZWNAS, who wast with Moses; be also with me, Thou, whose name is AHWSḤWSḤYYH RPAWZTYH HWGYHYYH HQSḤSḤYYH ʿNTWTYHWH GDWDYHWH YPʿTḤTḤQTZYH PSḤAPY PY AZYH TḤHRWGSGYH ŠDYH QTSḤYH RHWGY HWH TGPMSḤYH AHYWPSQTYH TYŠMSḤYHYH MSḤHWNTHYH ABHYTYZYH QPYHWH RPQḤNWT RPRPTḤR YMRTḤRYH (? YMRMRYH) QBRSYH NKR QTSNYH MRKAYRYH GNTḤSRD HWH DYDADRAH QDYRHH QNYSḤHH DYNAWSYH APSWNYH MASSWN PRQWMYH QWTZYH AYRWNYH AYPRWNSYH APSYMAH AHYH . Send me ATRYAWSSY YHW QTSHYH, who is the cover of the Kerubīm, to help me. Blessed art Thou, QWSYM, Lord of the Sword.'"

Whoever is desirous of using this 'Sword' must recite his usual prayers, and at the passage "Thou hearkenest to prayer" say:

"I conjure you four princes ŠQDHḤZY (etc.; the angels at the beginning), servants of HDYRYRWN YHWH HDYRYRWN HW HY HDYHY DYHYRWN (DYRYRWN) HWH, that you receive my invocation before I pray, and my supplication before I entreat, and fulfill all my wishes through this 'Sword,' as you have done to Moses, in the glorious and wonderful name of BʿL PLAT (Baʿal pela’ot, ‘the Lord of wonders’), which is interpreted thus HWH HYH YHWH WHW AHWSHH QQS HWH ." He must then call the five superior Chiefs and say: "I conjure you, MHYHWGSḤY (etc,; see beginning) and HDWDY WH WH YD GBRYAL HDYRYRWN, that you accept my conjuration as soon as I conjure you, and you attach to me those four princes and all the hosts of Chariots over which you preside, to fulfill all my wishes through this 'Sword' by this beloved name AHY HWH YHWH AY AW ŠHWSHH HYH YWH." He must then call the three angels that are superior to these, and say: "I conjure you, ASQWHHY (etc.; see the beginning), the beloved of ZRHWDRYW, who is HDYRYRWN, that you attach yourselves to me and attach to me MHYHWGSḤY (etc..), who are standing under your rule, to fulfill all my wishes through this 'Sword' by this unique name HWH HWY ŠQSḤR HŠH PTTḤNHW YHNYH NHYH MTGMHWH HYQHH MQWQSḤSḤWH [permutations of h, w, and y, …] YHW." And then he must lay hold of the highest Chief over all and say: "I conjure thee,

AHYWPSQTYH, strong and powerful Chief over all the heavenly hosts, that thou attachest thyself to me, thou and not thy messenger, and attach to me all the Chiefs that are with thee, to fulfill my wishes through this 'Sword,' by the name YHWH AHH HWH AYH HYH HWH AHWH YHW YHW [etc.; more permutations], which has no substitute, for thou art beloved and he is beloved, and I am from the seed of Abraham called the beloved. Blessed art thou, King of the mysteries, Lord of the secrets, who hearkenest unto prayer."

And he is not to touch this "Sword" till he has done all these things; afterwards he will be able to do whatever he likes, everything being written here following in its proper order.
