"There be others to sing His praises. Lo! 'the Heavens declare the glory of God.'"
And Moses said: "The Heavens are still when I extol Him, as it is written: 'Give ear, ye Heavens, and I will speak.'"
The Angel of Death again approached unto him, Moses pronounced the tremendous Name, and the Angel fled; as it is said: "For I will proclaim the Name of the Lord."
Once more the Angel of Death drew nigh. Then thought Moses: "It may be that he cometh bid by Heaven, and that I must bow before the just decree. 'The Rock, His work is perfect.'"
The soul of Moses wrestled to go forth; and he restrained her, saying: "O my soul! what sayest thou? For the Angel of Death seeketh to gain dominion over thee."
She spake: "It cannot be. For the Holy One, blessed be He, hath promised me that He will not give me over into his hand."
