Tablet of Gabriel

Pronunciation: TAB-lit uv GAY-bree-el

Also Known As

The tablet has three names: the Tablet of Gabriel, the Tablet of Jeshurun, and the Book of the Law (Moses 3:4).

Why It Is Called Gabriel

It is named for the fulfillment of the everlasting covenant Anokeesed made with Yaatsekawd when He named him Gabriel (Moses 3:4).

What It Shows

It shows forth the establishment of the Law, which is the pathway back to Eden and into the arms of Anokeesed (Moses 1:2). The Book of Remembrance of Moses is interpreted from it.

Its Origin

Enoch told Khoke, the young son of Shayiree, that Anokeesed needed everything done at the upper pool, where Yaatsekawd performed his ceremony using his sons as element, to be written in stone. Khoke wrote it with the guiding hand of Motsah the Lamb. Three Urim were used to record it: Enoch’s, Shayiree’s, and the Seer’s. It was thin, “a hand span wide and a long hand span high,” and larger than any tablet made before it. Khoke spent his lifetime making, protecting, and keeping it (Moses 3:4–6).

Its Journey

The Lord sent word that Khoke was to take the tablet, with the Urim of Shayiree, to the Land of Ur, a land that would take its name from the Urim (Moses 3:7–8). It was later kept in a container that had belonged to Idah, passed down through the women of the line of Joseph’s Egyptian wife, until Hatiti, Moses’ Egyptian mother, obtained it (Moses 6:14–16). In his twentieth year, when Moses fled Egypt, she gave him “the Hebrew treasure,” the tablet with its Urim (Moses 6:20–21).
