Now there comes a time when you read the words of the prophet, and you discover that which you did not know had ever been said. This is what is found here.
Baruch Sheniy (2 Baruch) 77:12-26
Nevertheless, do this for us your people: write also to our brethren in Babel a Cepher of doctrine and a Cepher of hope, that you may confirm them also before you depart from us. 13 For the shepherds of Y’shar’el have perished and the lamps which gave light are extinguished and the fountains have withheld their stream where we used to drink. 14 And we are left in the darkness and amidst the trees of the forest and the thirst of the wilderness. 15 And I answered and said to them: Shepherds and lamps and fountains come from the Torah: and though we depart, yet the Torah abides. 16 If therefore you have respect for the Torah and are intent upon wisdom, a lamp will not be wanting, and a shepherd will not fail, and a fountain will not dry up. 17 Nevertheless, as you said to me, I will write also to your brethren in Babel and I will send by means of men and I will write in like manner to the nine and a half tribes and send by means of a bird.
18 And it came to pass on the twenty-first day in the eighth month that I, Baruch, came and sat down under the oak under the shadow of the branches and no man was with me, but I was alone. 19 And I wrote these two Cepheriym: one I sent by an eagle to the nine and a half tribes; and the other I sent to those who were at Babel by means of three men. 20 And I called the eagle and spoke these words to it: 21 EL ELyon has made you that you should be higher than all birds. 22 And now go and do not tarry in any place, nor enter a nest, nor settle upon any tree, till you have passed over the breadth of the many waters of the river Perath and have gone to the people that dwell there and cast down to them this book. 23 Remember, moreover, that, at the time of the deluge, Noach received from a dove the fruit of the olive, when he sent it forth from the Ark. 24 Yea, also the Araviym ministered to Eliyau, bearing him food, as they had been commanded.
25 Shalomah also, in the time of his kingdom, wherever he wished to send or seek for anything, commanded a bird to go there and it obeyed him as he commanded it. 26 And now let it not weary you and turn not to the right hand nor the left, but fly and go by a direct way that you may guard the command of EL EL’ayim, according as I said to you.
