### God again calls from the Depths and there came forth Arkhas, Tazhis, and one who is very red

[¶1] 1 And I summoned a second time from the depths, and said: ‘Let the solid thing which is visible come forth from the invisible.” And Arkhas came forth firm and heavy and very red.

[¶2] 2 And I said: ‘Be thou divided, O Arkhas, and let that be seen which is produced from thee.’ And when he was divided, the world came forth, very dark and great, bringing the creation of all things below.

[¶3] 3 And I saw that it was good. And I said to him: ‘Go thou down?! and be thou established. And be a foundation for things below’; and it wasso. Andit came forth and was established", and was a foundation for things below. And there was nothing else below the darkness !,
