that men may know that the angels adore God and His Word and His Spirit, one God
and one Lord. We worship Thee, our Lord and our God, in Thy Word and Thy Spirit.
Thou, O God, by Thy Word hast created the heavens and the earth and all that is
therein, and by the Holy Spirit Thou causest to live the hosts of angels; we
praise Thee, O God, and we adore Thee and we glorify Thee in Thy creative Word
and Thy holy lifegiving Spirit, one God and one Lord and one Creator. We do not

cattle, and lions, and creeping things," and it was so. Then He said,
"Let the waters bring forth every creeping thing that hath life, and every
fowl that flieth in the heavens of their kind and sex," and it was so. Then
He said, "Let us create man after our own image and likeness." So God
shewed in the beginning of the book which He sent down to His prophet Moses,
that God and His Word and His Spirit are one God, and that God, may He
