 1 1 |       History of the death of our father, the holy old man, Joseph
 2 1 |          and friends, sons of the Father who has chosen you from
 3 1 |         occupy in the house of my Father, is greater and more excellent
 4 2 |            that righteous man, my father after the flesh, and the
 5 4 |       found James the Less in his father's house, broken-hearted
 6 5 |        with the concurrence of my Father, and the counsel of the
 7 6 |  furnished with a command from my Father; and he said to him: Joseph,
 8 8 |           to Herod the Great, the father of Archelaus. And it was
 9 11|      called my mother, and Joseph father, and I obeyed them in all
10 14| understand, except myself, and my Father and the Holy Spirit, constituting
11 15|           15. The whole age of my father, therefore, that righteous
12 15|      hundred and eleven years, my Father in heaven having so decreed.
13 16|          hour, which came upon my father Jacob, when his soul was
14 17|           I said to him: Hail! my father Joseph, thou righteous man;
15 17|         in reply: Art thou not my father after the flesh? I shall
16 18|                       18. When my father Joseph had thus spoken,
17 20|        are of you, and go to your father; for assuredly he is now
18 21|         forth flames. And when my father Joseph saw them coming straight
19 21|         And I called upon my good Father, saying:-~
20 22|                             22. O Father of all mercy, eye which
21 22|          walk with the soul of my father Joseph, until they shall
22 22|           is the hour in which my father has need of compassion.
23 23|    Gabriel came to the soul of my father Joseph, and took it, and
24 23|         into the hands of my good Father, and He bestowed upon him
25 24|       Assuredly the death of your father is not death, but life everlasting:
26 25|      unguents. But I entreated my Father in the prayer of the celestials-that
27 26|           body shall perish, O my father Joseph, but it will remain
28 28| lamentations, surely it is God my Father Himself who hath granted
29 28|         without the command of my Father. There have certainly been
30 28|          since it hath pleased my Father to bring it upon men. And
31 28|       Adam did not the will of my Father, but transgressed His commandment,
32 28|      commandment, the wrath of my Father was kindled against him,
33 28|           if Adam had observed my Father's precepts, death would

37 29|          it, near the body of his father Jacob. And at the time when

40 31|        Indeed, the prophecy of my Father upon Adam, for his disobedience,
41 31|           will and pleasure of my Father. For if a man rejects the
42 31|     prophecy, therefore, which my Father has pronounced concerning
43 31|        and as to what concerns my father Joseph, who has not been
