1 And as I was conversing with them, behold angels came bearing baskets full of flowers. And
2 they gave them to Michael. And I asked the angel, Lord, who are these, and what are the things
3 brought hither from beside them And he said to me, These are angels (who) are over the

5 righteous. And the archangel took the baskets, and cast them into the vessel. And the angel
6 said to me, These flowers are the merits of the righteous. And I saw other angels bearing baskets which were (neither) empty-nor full. And they began to lament, and did not venture to draw near,
7 because they had not the prizes complete. And Michael cried and said, Come hither, also, ye
8 angels, bring what ye have brought. And Michael was exceedingly grieved, and the angel who was with me, because they did not fill the vessel.
