Apocalypse of Abraham 25:1-6

¹I saw there the likeness of the idol of jealousy, like a carpenter's figure such as my father used to make, and its body was of glittering copper, and before it

²a man, and he was worshipping it. And (there was) an altar opposite it and boys

³being slaughtered on it in the face of the idol.

⁴lies beneath your throne?"

⁵among my coming people, even of your tribe. And the body you saw is my anger, because the people who will come to me out of you will make me angry.

⁶And the man you saw slaughtering is he who angers me, and the sacrifice is a killing of those who are for me a testimony of the judgment of the completion at the beginning of creation."
