[9] Recording each word and deed.
[10] There are two angle scribes: one on the right of each person, recording the good deeds, while the other on the left, recording evil deeds. They accompany humans all the time, except when one is intimate with their spouse or uses the bathroom.
(Remember) that the two receivers (recording angels) receive (each human being),1 one sitting on the right and one on the left (to note his or her actions).2
