He Adds and Storehouse 10

Then Five Senses and the Kind of himself went into the Lots of themselves.
I, a languid one, and my heart, an awake one (Songs 5:2)
And Storehouse was left behind in company with the Virgins and was languid/idle and wept until the Sun plunged; and she ate no bread and drank no water, but while all were sleeping, she alone was awake.
Fall of Babylon

"they are falling into the center of yourself, into the heart of the days/seas, in the Day of your downfall."

(Eze. 27:27 RBT)

And she opened and descended beside the Gateway and she found the Gatekeeper sleeping in company with her children.
And Storehouse hastened and pulled down from the Door the Skin Curtain and filled her with ashes and carried up into the Upper Chamber and stowed away her into the Foundation.
And she shut the Door securely and placed the Iron Lever on her from the sides and she groaned with a mega sigh and weeping.
And the Virgin, her whom Storehouse agape-loved, heard the sighing of the Mistress of herself from beside all the virgins, and she awakened the Remaining virgins and came and found the Door, she who has been shut.
And she heard the sighing and weeping of Storehouse and said: 'For what reason do you, yourself look sullen sad, mistress of myself? And what is the Trouble to yourself? Open to ourselves and we will perceive you!'
And Storehouse said to them from within, she who has been shut in: 'The Head of myself, she is in a lot of pain! and I keep quiet in my bed, and
now
I am not strong enough to open to yourselves, because I am weakened away from all the Members/Limbs of myself! But proceed each one of you to the Inner Room of herself.'
"Why are you downcast?" "I am weakened away from all the members of myself!"

For thus the God agape-loved the Order (John 3:16)
And Storehouse stood up and quietly opened the Door and went away into the Second Inner Room of herself, where the Chests of the Order/Arrangement of herself were, and she opened the Little Box of herself and carried out a black and opaque inner tunic.
And this one was the Inner Tunic of the Sorrow of herself which she entered into and bewailed when the Brother of herself, the Firstborn, died away.
λύω - resolve a whole into its parts, to dissolve, break up, dissolve the assembly
And Storehouse stripped off the Flowing Mantle and entered into the Black One, and she dissolved/broke up the Golden Belt of herself and she girded with a small rope, and she stowed away the Tiara from the Head of herself and the Diadem and bracelets from the Hands of herself.
And she took hold of the entire Flowing Mantle of herself and threw her through the Window-Frame to the ones who labor for sustenance.
And she took hold of all the Gods of herself, the gold and silver ones which were without number, and she rubbed them into pieces/shivered them to atoms and threw themselves to the Beggars and Lacking Ones.
βοράν - that which is devoured by beasts
And Storehouse took hold of the Royal Banquet of herself, the Fatted Things and the Fish and the Meat and all the Offerings of the Gods of herself and the Vessels of the Wine of their libation, and hurled everything through the Window-frame to the Dogs for food of beasts.
And beyond this she took hold of the burnt ashes and poured them down upon the Foundation.
And she took hold of a course goat hair cloth and gird it around the Loins of herself and she threw off the Plaited Hair Ornament/Clasp of the Head of herself, and strewed over herself with ashes and she fell on top of the Ashes.
τὸ στῆθος - metaph., the breast as the seat of feeling and thought: the Spirit itself Groans
And she struck the Breast of herself continuously with the Two Hands and fell on top of the ashes and wept bitterly all the Night in company with a groan until morning.
And Storehouse stood up in the morning and saw, and behold, the Ashes were below herself as potters-clay from the Tears of herself!
A Darkness upon the Face of the Waters
And Storehouse fell backward upon a face, upon the Ashes until the Sun plunged.
Gave it all away to the Dogs
And thus made Storehouse the Seven Days, she who tasted nothing of the whole.

Τότε Πεντεφρῆς καὶ ἡ συγγένεια αὐτοῦ ἀπῆλθον εἰς τὸν κλῆρον αὐτῶν.

Καὶ κατελείφθη Ἀσενὲθ μόνη μετὰ τῶν παρθένων καὶ ἐρᾳθύμει καὶ ἔκλαιεν ἕως οὗ ἔδυ ὁ ἥλιος· καὶ ἄρτον οὐκ ἔφαγεν καὶ ὕδωρ οὐκ ἔπιεν, ἀλλὰ πάντων ὑπνούντων αὕτη μόνη ἐγρηγόρει.

Καὶ ἤνοιξε καὶ κατῆλθε παρὰ τὸν πυλῶνα καὶ εὗρε τὴν θυρωρὸν καθεύδουσαν μετὰ τῶν τέκνων αὐτῆς.

Καὶ ἔσπευσεν Ἀσενὲθ καὶ καθεῖλεν ἐκ τῆς θύρας τὴν δέρριν τοῦ καταπετάσματος καὶ ἔπλησεν αὐτὴν τέφρας καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν εἰς τὸ ὑπερῷον καὶ ἀπέθετο αὐτὴν εἰς τὸ ἔδαφος.

Καὶ ἔκλεισε τὴν θύραν ἀσφαλῶς καὶ τὸν μοχλὸν τὸν σιδηροῦν ἐπέθηκεν αὐτῇ ἐκ πλαγίων καὶ ἐστέναξε στεναγμῷ μεγάλῳ καὶ κλαυθμῷ.

Καὶ ἤκουσεν ἡ παρθένος ἣν ἠγάπα Ἀσενὲθ παρὰ πάσας τὰς παρθένους τὸν στεναγμὸν τῆς κυρίας αὐτῆς καὶ ἤγειρε τὰς λοιπὰς παρθένους καὶ ἦλθε καὶ εὗρε τὴν θύραν κεκλεισμένην.

Καὶ ἠκροάσατο τοῦ στεναγμοῦ καὶ τοῦ κλαυθμοῦ τῆς Ἀσενὲθ καὶ εἶπεν· ἵνα τί σὺ σκυθρωπάζεις, δέσποινά μου; καὶ τί ἐστι τὸ ἐνοχλοῦν σοι; ἄνοιξον ἡμῖν καὶ ὀψόμεθά σε.

Καὶ εἶπεν αὐταῖς Ἀσενὲθ ἔσωθεν κεκλεισμένη· τῆς κεφαλῆς μου ἐστι πόνος πολύς καὶ ἡσυχάζω ἐν τῇ κλίνῃ μου καὶ ἀνοῖξαι νῦν οὐκ ἰσχύω ὑμῖν, διότι ἠσθένηκα ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν μελῶν μου, ἀλλὰ πορεύθητε ἑκάστη ὑμῶν εἰς τὸν θάλαμον αὐτῆς.

Καὶ ἀνέστη Ἀσενὲθ καὶ ἤνοιξε τὴν θύραν ἡσύχως καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸν θάλαμον αὐτῆς τὸν δεύτερον, ὅπου ἦσαν αἱ θῆκαι τοῦ κόσμου αὐτῆς, καὶ ἤνοιξε τὸ κιβώτιον αὐτῆς καὶ ἐξήνεγκε χιτῶνα μελανὸν καὶ ζοφώδη.

Καὶ οὗτος ἦν ὁ χιτὼν τοῦ πένθους αὐτῆς ὃν ἐνεδύσατο καὶ ἐπένθησεν ὅτε ἀπέθανεν ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτῆς ὁ πρωτότοκος.

Καὶ ἐξεδύσατο Ἀσενὲθ τὴν στολὴν αὐτῆς τὴν βασιλικὴν καὶ ἐνεδύσατο τὴν μέλαιναν καὶ ἔλυσε τὴν ζώνην αὐτῆς τὴν χρυσῆν καὶ περιεζώσατο σχοινίον καὶ ἀπέθετο τὴν τιάραν ἐκ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτῆς καὶ τὸ διάδημα καὶ τὰ ψέλια ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῆς.

Καὶ ἔλαβε πᾶσαν τὴν στολὴν αὐτῆς τὴν ἐκλεκτὴν καὶ ἔρριψεν αὐτὴν διὰ τῆς θυρίδος τοῖς πένησι.

Καὶ ἔλαβε πάντας τοὺς θεοὺς αὐτῆς τοὺς χρυσοῦς καὶ ἀργυροῦς, ὧν οὐκ ἦν ἀριθμός, καὶ συνέτριψεν αὐτοὺς εἰς λεπτὰ καὶ ἔρριψεν αὐτοὺς τοῖς πτωχοῖς καὶ τοῖς δεομένοις.

Καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἀσενὲθ τὸ δεῖπνον αὐτῆς τὸ βασιλικὸν καὶ σιτιστὰ καὶ τοὺς ἰχθύας καὶ τὰ κρέα καὶ πάσας τὰς θυσίας τῶν θεῶν αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ σκεύη τοῦ οἴνου τῆς σπονδῆς αὐτῶν καὶ ἔρριψεν πάντα διὰ τῆς θυρίδος τοῖς κυσὶ βοράν.

Καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἔλαβε τὴν τέφραν καὶ κατέχεεν αὐτὴν ἐπὶ τὸ ἔδαφος.

Καὶ ἔλαβε σάκκον καὶ περιεζώσατο τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτῆς καὶ ἀπεβάλετο τὸ ἐμπλόκιον τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτῆς καὶ κατεπάσατο τέφραν καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπάνω τῆς τέφρας.

Καὶ ἐπάτασσε τὸ στῆθος αὐτῆς πυκνῶς ταῖς δυσὶ χερσὶ καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπάνω τῆς τέφρας καὶ ἔκλαιε πικρῶς πᾶσαν τὴν νύκταν μετὰ στεναγμοῦ ἕως πρωἰ.

Καὶ ἀνέστη Ἀσενὲθ τῷ πρωῒ καὶ εἶδε καὶ ἰδού ἦν ἡ τέφρα ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς ὡς πηλὸς ἐκ τῶν δακρύων αὐτῆς.

Καὶ ἔπεσε πάλιν Ἀσενὲθ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐπὶ τὴν τέφραν ἕως οὗ ἔδυ ὁ ἥλιος.

Καὶ οὕτως ἐποίησεν Ἀσενὲθ τὰς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας μηδὲ ὅλως γευσαμένη τινός.
