Water Tablet

Origin

The Water Tablet was written by Enoch, who named it after the Bedal River, which flows into the Aral Sea from the south. Bedal (Strong’s #914) means “to divide,” “to separate,” “to select,” or “to distinguish between two things.” The account of how Enoch received this tablet’s information is recorded in Enoch 9:23-75, where the Lord explained it to him, drawing it into wet clay with a stick.

What It Represents

For Enoch, the tablet represented the Living Water — the spiritual level a person or community needs to reach to establish a successful, holy community.

How Noah Adapted It

That same spiritual level required for building holy communities is also what’s required for circle drawing — the practice of directing rain. Noah adapted the Water Tablet’s teaching to call forth the Flood through circle drawing.

A Real Historical Echo

Circle drawing as rainmaking has genuine roots in Jewish history — Robert Eisenman’s James the Brother of Jesus discusses Honi the Circle Drawer, a rainmaker of the early church’s era, and notes that even Jesus’s own brother James was known as a circle drawer in his own right.

Its Ongoing Use

The tablet still carries complete instruction for drawing circles and directing rain — bringing it in or sending it away, though rain can’t be sent somewhere the circle drawer isn’t present themselves. Working with it demands deep study across the Guidance and Covenant Tablets as well, genuine spiritual depth, and real repentance offered in humility — described as a serious, deeply spiritual undertaking that those without sincere intent will find themselves unable to complete. Not every man of Abarah becomes a circle drawer; it requires someone specifically suited to the work. The people this instruction is given to are called the people of Yawd, “My Right Hand” — those who revere the Lord’s name.
