Gospel of the Egyptians 11

1She received her completion and her power by the will and pleasure of the Father. Through this pleasure, he was pleased with the great, indestructible, unmoving race of the great and mighty men of the great Seth, so that he could sow it within the aeons that had been produced and, through her, fulfill the deficiency. For she descended from above into the world, being the image of the night. When she had come forth, she petitioned on behalf of the seed of the archon of this aeon and <the> authorities who originated from him—the polluted (seed) of the demon-begetting god who will be destroyed—and (she petitioned on behalf of) the seed [] of Adam and the great Seth, which resembles the sun.

2Then the great angel Hormos arrived to prepare the seed of the great Seth, by means of the virgins of the polluted sowing (with seed) of this aeon, within a sacred vessel begotten by the Logos through the holy Spirit.

3Then the great Seth arrived with his seed, and it was sown within the aeons that had been produced, their number agreeing with the numerical value of “Sodom.” Some say that Sodom is the place where the great Seth pastures, being Gomorrah. Others, however, say that the great Seth removed his planting from Gomorrah and transplanted it to a second place, which he named Sodom.

4This is the race that came forth through Edokla, because by speaking she gave birth to Truth and Justice, being the beginning of the seed of eternal life, which is for those who will persevere because of the knowledge of their emanation. This is the great, indestructible race that has come forth through three [] worlds into the world. The deluge occurred as a type of the consummation of the aeon, but it will be sent into the world because of this race.

5A conflagration will overtake the earth, and grace will be for those of the race (that came into being) through the prophets and the watchers who watch over the life of the race. Because of this race, famines and plagues will come, but these things will happen on account of the great, indestructible race. On account of this race, temptations will arrive, even a deceit of false prophets.

6Then the great Seth witnessed the work of the devil: his many disguises, his plots against the indestructible, unmoving race, the persecutions by his powers and his angels, and their error (by which) they acted against themselves.

7Then the great Seth offered praise to:

8the great, unnamable, virginal Spirit,

9and the male [] virgin Barbelon,

10and the triple-male child Telmael Telmael Heli Heli Machar Machar Seth,

11the living power, ALĒTHES ALĒTHŌS,

12and the male virgin Youel,

13and Esephech, keeper of splendor, the crown of his glory,

14and the great Doxomedon aeon,

15and the thrones within him,

16and the powers surrounding them,

17and the entire Fullness, as I mentioned previously,

18and he petitioned for watchers over his seed.
