"Four days are appointed with names after the names of the four great families. These are Saladay, Bellonday, Larunday, and Gerashday. Three days thou shalt eat, and on Gerashday, thou shalt eat a double portion. But on Elyonday thou shalt eat nothing, and drink only water.

"Four days thou shalt work. But Elyonday is the day of worship, thou shalt not work on that day, neither you nor any male in your whole household. On Elyonday you shall worship in the shrine. None shall be exempted. The old and infirm shall be carried to worship Elyon.

"This is the essence of worship: You shall give one-fourth of your increase to Elyon. The procedure for worshiping Elyon shall be to present to the Eye of Elyon your worship card made of crackerwood sealed in a leather pouch together with all the coin you earned on Gerashday.

"The Eye of Elyon shall inspect the seal, unwrap the worship card, and inspect the pattern of recent punches. If the punches are in order, the Eye of Elyon shall make a new punch using one of five different punches drawn by lots, a star, a square, a trian- gle, a circle, or a rectangle.

"And the Eye of Elyon shall store the worship card back in the leather pouch, add a seal, and return it to the worshiper; but the money hy shall put in the temple treasury. Yen, however, shall not worship, nor shall a yin be found in the Temple of Elyon nor any shrine of Elyon. You shall not not suffer a yin or doll to earn income.

"A lan shall count his son's income as hyz own for the purpose of reckoning the correct amount of worship due. But if a lan's worship card has a missing punch he shall be put to death for failure to worship Elyon.

"Fourteen years a dirk shall live under the absolute rule of his father. But in his fifteenth year he shall serve in the army of Elyon as one of the ishim for three years. If the ish has attained the age of eighteen years and has not advanced to the ranks of the malakim, he shall be discharged from the army. The dirk will be then fully a lan, and for so long as he live he shall be accountable to worship Elyon even as did his father.

"The malakim shall command the ishim by squads. When the malak has attained the age of twenty-one years and has not advanced to the ranks of the ravmalakim, he shall be discharged from the army and shall be accountable to worship Elyon.
