[[SECT. XVII.ⓘ]]
[1] After this I saw another dream, and explained it all to thee, my son. Enoch arose and said to his son Mathusala, To thee, my son, will I speak. Hear my word; and incline thine ear to the visionary dream of thy father. Before I married thy mother Edna, I saw a vision on my bed;
[2] And behold, a cow sprung forth from the earth;
[3] And this cow was white.
[4] Afterwards a female heifer sprung forth; and with it another heifer:ⓘ one of them was black, and one was red.ⓘ
[5] The black heifer then struck the red one, and pursued it over the earth.
[6] From that period I could see nothing more of the red heifer; but the black one increased in bulk, and a female heifer came with him.
[7] After this I saw that many cows proceeded forth, resembling him, and following after him.
[8] The first female young one also went out in the presence of the first cow; and sought the red heifer; but found him not.
[9] And she lamented with a great lamentation, while she was seeking him.
[10] Then I looked until that first cow came to her, from which time she became silent, and ceased to lament.
[11] Afterwards she calved another white cow.
[12] And again calved many cows and black heifers.
[13] In my sleep also I perceived a white bull, which in like manner grew, and became a large white bull.
[14] After him many white cows came forth, resembling him.
[15] And they began to calve many other white cows, which resembled them and followed each other.
