LXXXII.
In the name of the great life.
At the head of the waters I went forth,
at the head of the springs of life I went here.
I founded 3 Škīnās
and appointed watchmen over them.
The guardians I appointed over them
are wondrous, blessed and constant beyond measure.

Commentary

[edit]
Recite this song when you perform the baptism
and take the drink from the Jordan into the bottle.
Recite the song "At the head of the waters I went forth",
then read "Blessed are you, Outer Gate" (= XX).
