101 And after these things Jubal and Jabal and their families never returned but they traveled westward because eastward toward Maween the land was infested by the wicked And many of the Qataries thus followed and dispersed westward
102 And the Niphilim wars among the wicked became fierce And fear rose up like smoke in all their encampments And I beheld with Urim that a strange spirit began to descend over the wicked And it seemed irresistible And it compelled them to want to gather in the regions o f Heleah out from all of their domain And they desired to gather into one body so it could be determined who would have supreme dominance over them all And in their minds they intended to rule over the whole earth And each of the Masters of Saycoo was determined that he should be the grand master And their intention was to have one grand assembly And they all prepared themselves with what they considered the means to overcome their fellows And weapons were seen everywhere
I03 And it came to pass that by this strong spirit the wicked felt compelled to migrate into the valleys of Heleah and the migration lasted for seven years in an attempt to join into one body And each of them proceeded with utmost caution to protect their secrets which were that which they used to try to overcome their enemies And it was very difficult for them to defend themselves because they all had slaves and only some of which were faithful to them But there was strong hatred toward them on the part of others and these could not be trusted Thus many of the Masters of Saycoo decided to cause their servants and slaves to make oaths of allegiance with self-cursings which are called imprecations And the ones who would not take such oaths to maintain their secrets were abandoned and left behind l04 And there were thousands who were left stranded and destitute with no provisions or skills to live And they milled about And they did not know how to care for one another or organize themselves except by that which they had always known as slaves And many perished by violence and for the want of food and blood was poured out upon the earth And they began with difficulty to establish themselves in the areas where they were left And those who could manage to provide for themselves and stay together went southward for they feared the regions o f Mahujah and Qatar
l 05 And I could see that they were lost and could not easily adapt to being free after generations of captivity by hard and cruel masters And this was all the more so because their captivity was done for the purposes of supporting religions of evil 106 And by the Urim I beheld a marvelous truth And the Lord opened up to me that these abandoned people only could comprehend dominance over their fellows And it was out o f these bands o f people that the foundations of the nations of old were formed And the nations of the Chaldeans Babylonians Persians Assyrians Egyptians and others arose out of these lost and bewildered people And all these things began to happen not long after the wedding of Lamech and Boten and not many years before the great Flood 107 And I saw that Jubal and Jabal took things well in hand with regards to the safety of their families and people And they scouted out the land westward and they found a secluded valley westward of the Hales River
And they went there and traveled in the night for safety
And the place they settled was just south of the land settled by Javen and those who were called Ionians
