6 He said, The Lord has given me this wealth; I am his steward by his grace, and if I give not to his children when in need, then he will make this wealth a curse.
7 Now, when the child was three years old her parents took her to Jerusalem, and in the temple she received the blessings of the priests.
8 The high priest was a prophet and a seer, and when he saw the child he said,
9 Behold, this child will be the mother of an honored prophet and a master of the law; she shall abide within this holy temple of the Lord.
10 And Mary did abide within the temple of the Lord; and Hillel, chief of the Sanhedrim, taught her all the precepts of the Jews, and she delighted in the law of God.
11 When Mary reached the age of womanhood she was betrothed to Joseph, son of Jacob, and a carpenter of Nazareth.
12 And Joseph was an upright man; and a devoted Essenes.
