He who is of all peoples, and hath faces on every side; he who hath hands on every side, and is broad on every side—he beareth all together with his arms, all together with his wings, generating Heaven and Earth, the one God.
Celui qui est de tous les peuples et dont les visages sont de tous côtés; celui dont les mains sont de tous côtés et qui s’étend de tous côtés — de ses bras il soutient tout ensemble, de ses ailes il porte tout ensemble, engendrant le Ciel et la Terre, l’unique Dieu.
