1And I, Baruch, went thence and came to the people, and assembled them together from the greatest to the least, and said unto them:
2'Hear, ye children of Yashar'el (Israel), behold how many ye are who remain of the twelve tribes of Yashar'el (Israel).
3For to you and to your fathers Yahuah (Lord) gave a law more excellent than to all peoples.
4And because your brethren transgressed the commandments of the El Elyon (Most High), He brought vengeance upon you and upon them, And He spared not the former, And the latter also He gave into captivity: And He left not a residue of them, But behold! ye are here with me.
6If, therefore, ye direct your ways aright, Ye also shall not depart as your brethren departed, But they shall come to you.
