LDS Temple Ceremony Excerpt 1

Jehovah, Michael, see: yonder is matter….

These are the introductory words of the creation sequence from an actual recording of the 1990 Endowment ritual.

The text is:

ELOHIM–Jehovah, Michael, see: yonder is matter unorganized. Go ye down and organize it into a world like unto the other worlds we have heretofore formed. Call your labors the First Day and bring me word.

JEHOVAH–It shall be done Elohim. Come Michael, let us go down.

MICHAEL–We will go down, Jehovah.
