Tell all the people to present their offerings.

Tell them that we consent to have endless retinues of servants, soldiers, followers, and attendants.

Tell them that with the advent of Almah and Atam-or a new era begins for the Kosekin, in which every man may be as poor as he likes, and riches shall be unknown in the land." These extraordinary words seemed to fill the paupers with rapture.
Exclamations of joy burst from them; they prostrated themselves in an irrepressible impulse of grateful admiration, as though such promises could only come from superior beings.

Then most of them hurried down to communicate to the people below the glorious intelligence.

Soon it spread from mouth to mouth, and all the people were filled with the wildest excitement.
For never before had such a thing been known, and never had such self-sacrifice been imagined or thought possible, as that the rulers of the Kosekin could consent to be rich when they might be paupers; to live together when they might be separate; to dwell in the light when they might lurk in the deepest cavern gloom; to remain in life when they might have the blessing of death.
