The Book of Jasher 61

¹🔗nd he lifted up his eyes and saw a man in the likeness of Abram coming forth from the furnace, and that he came and stood before the king with his drawn sword, and then sprang to the king with his sword, when the king fled from the man, for he was afraid; and while he was running, the man threw an egg upon the king's head, and the egg became a great river.

²🔗 And the king dreamed that all his troops sank in that river and died, and the king took flight with three men who were before him and he escaped.

³🔗 And the king looked at these men and they were clothed in princely dresses as the garments of kings, and had the appearance and majesty of kings.

⁴🔗 And while they were running, the river again turned to an egg before the king, and there came forth from the egg a young bird which came before the king, and flew at his head and plucked out the king's eye.

⁵🔗 And the king was grieved at the sight, and he awoke out of his sleep and his spirit was agitated; and he felt a great terror.

⁶🔗 And in the morning the king rose from his couch in fear, and he ordered all the wise men and magicians to come before him, when the king related his dream to them.

⁷🔗 And a wise servant of the king, whose name was Anuki, answered the king, saying, This is nothing else but the evil of Abram and his seed which will spring up against my Lord and king in the latter days.

⁸🔗 And behold the day will come when Abram and his seed and the children of his household will war with my king, and they will smite all the king's hosts and his troops.

⁹🔗 And as to what thou hast said concerning three men which thou didst see like unto thyself, and which did escape, this means that only thou wilt escape with three kings from the kings of the earth who will be with thee in battle. 55.
