And in the third week of this jubilee the unclean demons began to lead astray the children of the sons of Noah, and to make to err and destroy them.
2
And the sons of Noah came to Noah their father, and they told him concerning the demons which were leading astray and blinding and slaying his sons' sons.
3
And he prayed before the Lord his God, and said: God of the spirits of all flesh, who hast shown mercy unto me and hast saved me and my sons from the waters of the flood.
4
Let not the spirits which thou hast created rule over the spirits of the living; for Thou alone canst exercise dominion over them. And let them not have power over the sons of the righteous from henceforth and for evermore.
5
And the Lord our God bade us to bind all. And the chief of the spirits, Mastema, came and said: Lord, Creator, let some of them remain before me, and let them hearken to my voice.
6
And He said: Let the tenth part of them remain before him, and let nine parts descend into the place of condemnation 一 and thus it was done.
