2 Esdras 14:23-25

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²³ He answered me and said, ‘Go and gather the people, and tell them not to seek you for forty days. ²⁴ But prepare for yourself many writing-tablets, and take with you Sarea, Dabria, Selemia, Ethanus, and Asiel—these five, who are trained to write rapidly; ²⁵ and you shall come here, and I will light in your heart the lamp of understanding, which shall not be put out until what you are about to write is finished.
