The document is instructions for acting out a parable from the Bible about ten young women who were invited to a wedding. Five of the women were wise and brought extra oil for their lamps, while five were foolish and did not. When the bridegroom was late in arriving, all ten women fell asleep. A cry woke them at midnight that the bridegroom had arrived. The foolish women realized their lamps were going out and asked the wise ones for oil, but they were told to go buy their own. By the time the foolish women returned, the bridegroom had come and gone and the door to the wedding feast was locked.
