After that, He created a ship in which He rode for thirty thousand years.

After which Melek Taus came and lived among men in the city of Lâlish,

Where His temple remains to this day.

He lifted up His voice and the sea became solid and became the earth.

Then Melek Taus brought two pieces of the white pearl.

He placed one below the earth and the other He placed at the door of heaven.

Then He placed in both of them the sun and the moon.

From the scattered fragments of the white pearl, He created

the stars, which He suspended in the sky for decoration.

And He created fruit trees and plants on land and

mountains to beautify the earth.

And He created a throne upon a throne.

Then the Great Lord, Melek Taus, said to the angels, "I want to

create Adam and Eve and make them give rise to

mankind. Of the seed of Adam there shall be born a Prophet,

and from him shall descend a people on the earth;

then the people of Me, Melek Taus,

and these people are to be the Yezidis."

And it was so!
