2"And a luminous cloud appeared there. And he (the Spirit) said, ‘Let an angel come into being to attend me.’ And a great angel, the Self-Begotten, the God of the Light, emerged from the cloud. And because of him, another four angels came into being from another cloud, and they attended the angelic Self-Begotten. And said the [Self-Begotten], ‘Let [a realm] come into being,’ and it came into being [just as he said]. And he [created] the first luminary to rule over it. And he said, ‘Let angels come into being to serve [it,’ and myriads] without number came into being. And he said, ‘[Let a] luminous realm come into being,’ and it came into being. He created the second luminary to rule over it, along with myriads of angels without number to offer service. And that’s how he created the rest of the realms of light. And he made them to be ruled, and created for them myriads of angels without number to assist them.
