8 Reuben | Lord, that the anger of the Lord might pass from me, even
9 Reuben | pass from me, even as the Lord showed. And thenceforth
10 Reuben | concerning them, the angel of the Lord told me, and taught me,
11 Reuben | shall know the law of the Lord, and shall give ordinances
12 Reuben | High Priest, of whom the Lord spake, 9 I adjure you by
13 Reuben | Judah, because him hath the Lord chosen to 12 be king over
14 Simeon | called me Simeon, Because the Lord had heard her prayer. 3
15 Simeon | wrathful against him. But the Lord restrained me, and withheld
16 Simeon | wept; and I besought the Lord God that my hand might be
17 Simeon | an evil thing before the Lord and Jacob my father, on
18 Simeon | fasting in the fear of the Lord, and I learnt that deliverance
19 Simeon | For if a man flee to the Lord, the evil spirit runneth
20 Simeon | your hearts good before the Lord, And your ways straight
21 Simeon | shall find grace before the Lord and men. 3 Beware, therefore,
22 Simeon | shall wage the war of the Lord, and shall conquer all your

25 Levi | of understanding of the Lord came upon me, and I saw
26 Levi | men, and I prayed to the 5 Lord that I might be saved. Then
27 Levi | Thou shalt stand near the Lord, And shalt be His minister,
28 Levi | thee and Judah shall the Lord appear among men Saving
29 Levi | of men. 12 And from the Lord's portion shall be thy life,
30 Levi | make propitiation to the Lord for all the sins of ignorance
31 Levi | righteous; Offering to the Lord a sweet- smelling savour,
32 Levi | angels of the presence of the Lord. 8 And in the heaven next
33 Levi | 9 When, therefore, the Lord looketh upon us, all of
34 Levi | therefore, know that the Lord shall execute judgment upon
35 Levi | all thy seed, Until the Lord shall visit all the Gentiles
36 Levi | be with thee because the Lord hath sent me. And I destroyed
37 Levi | to him: I pray 6 thee, O Lord, tell me Thy name, that
38 Levi | Dinah our 9 sister, but the Lord prevented them. And they
39 Levi | them. But the wrath of the Lord came upon them to the uttermost. ~
40 Levi | Jacob: By thee will the Lord despoil the Canaanites,
41 Levi | henceforth become a priest of the Lord, thou and thy seed for 4,
42 Levi | might serve as priest to the Lord God. And they said to me:
43 Levi | sign of the glory of the Lord who is to come. And the
44 Levi | upon, And the table of the Lord shall thy seed apportion.
45 Levi | paid tithes of all to the Lord through me. And so we came
46 Levi | remembrance of the law of the Lord, even as the 7 angel of
47 Levi | even as the 7 angel of the Lord showed unto me. And he taught
48 Levi | on my behalf before the Lord, and said to me: Beware
49 Levi | leaves 13, offer to the Lord, as Abraham taught me also.
50 Levi | offer a 14 sacrifice to the Lord. And of all thy first -fruits
51 Levi | first, as a sacrifice to the Lord God; and every sacrifice
52 Levi | it great evils from the 3 Lord. And ye shall deal lawlessly
53 Levi | For the house which the Lord shall choose shall be called
54 Levi | I command you: Fear the Lord your God with your whole
55 Levi | that knoweth the law of the Lord shall be honoured, And shall
56 Levi | will transgress against the Lord, stretching out hands to
57 Levi | the heaven is purer in the Lord's sight than the earth,
58 Levi | 5 The offerings of the Lord ye shall rob, and from His
59 Levi | the commandments of the Lord, wedded women shall ye pollute,
60 Levi | Therefore the temple, which the Lord shall choose, shall be laid
61 Levi | shall be perfect with the Lord, [and in the day of his
62 Levi | renew the house of the 11 Lord. And in the seventh week
63 Levi | shall have come from the Lord, the priesthood shall fail.
64 Levi | shall fail. 2 Then shall the Lord raise up a new priest. And
65 Levi | him all the words of the Lord shall be revealed; And he
66 Levi | And the knowledge of the Lord shall be poured forth upon
67 Levi | glory of the presence of the Lord shall be glad in him. 6
68 Levi | give the majesty of the Lord to His sons in truth for
69 Levi | through the grace of the Lord: In his priesthood shall

72 Levi | him, saying, 3 Before the Lord we will walk according to
73 Levi | father said unto them, The Lord is witness, and His angels
74 Judah | saying, I give thanks to the Lord, because He hath given me
75 Judah | things. ~2 1, 2 And the Lord showed me favour in all
76 Judah | Shelah; and two of them the Lord smote: for Shelah lived,
77 Judah | third night an angel of the Lord smote him. And he had not
78 Judah | because it was from the Lord. For I said, Lest haply
79 Judah | all the ordinances of the Lord, and to obey the commands
80 Judah | evil in the eyes of the Lord. Since I also gloried that
81 Judah | the commandment of the 8 Lord and the commandment of my
82 Judah | took her to wife. And the Lord rewarded me according to
83 Judah | diminished, which 4 the Lord gave me because of my obedience
84 Judah | and each one of them the Lord knoweth. 4 And there is
85 Judah | written down before the Lord. And the spirit of truth
86 Judah | destroyed. For to me the Lord gave the kingdom, and to
87 Judah | away through sin from the Lord and is 5 dominated by the
88 Judah | kingdom. For the angel of the Lord said unto me: The Lord chose
89 Judah | the Lord said unto me: The Lord chose him rather than thee,
90 Judah | righteous men. ~22 1 And the Lord shall bring upon them divisions
91 Judah | kingdom for ever; For the Lord sware to me with an oath
92 Judah | For which things' sake the Lord shall bring upon you famine
93 Judah | their wives. 5 Until the Lord visit you, when with perfect
94 Judah | save all that call upon the Lord. ~26 1 And after these things
95 Judah | so all in order. And the Lord blessed Levi, and the Angel
96 Judah | shall be the people of the Lord, and have one tongue; And
97 Judah | they who were poor for the Lord's sake shall be made rich,
98 Judah | are put to death for the Lord's sake shall awake to life.
99 Judah | people shall glorify the Lord for ever. ~26 1 Observe,
100 Judah | children, all the law of the Lord, for there is hope for all
101 Issachar| him who is beloved of the Lord. 2, 3 I was born the fifth
102 Issachar| instead of children. For the Lord hath despised me, 7 and
103 Issachar| to Jacob an angel of the Lord, saying: Two children shall
104 Issachar| account of the mandrakes the Lord 3 visited her. For He knew
105 Issachar| mandrakes; 5 therefore, the Lord hearkened to Rachel. For
106 Issachar| them in the house of the Lord, presenting them to the
107 Issachar| through the priest to the Lord 7 all first-fruits; then
108 Issachar| my father also. And the Lord increased ten thousandfold
109 Issachar| is well-pleasing to the Lord. 2 The single-(minded) man
110 Issachar| the commandments of the Lord. ~5 1 Keep, therefore, my
111 Issachar| neighbour, 2 But love the Lord and your neighbour, Have
112 Issachar| husbandry, Offering gifts to the Lord with thanksgiving. 4 For
113 Issachar| first-fruits of the earth will the Lord bless you, even as He blessed
114 Issachar| Judah were glorified by the Lord even among the sons of Jacob;
115 Issachar| the sons of Jacob; for the Lord gave them an inheritance,
116 Issachar| the commandments of the Lord, They will cleave unto Beliar.
117 Issachar| 4 quickly return to the Lord; For He is merciful, and
118 Issachar| kept truth 6 I loved the Lord; Likewise also every man
119 Zebulun | For for this cause the Lord forbade that water should
120 Zebulun | brother should live, and the Lord loosed from them the 6 sandal
121 Zebulun | keep the commands of the Lord, and to show mercy to your
122 Zebulun | all this thing's sake the Lord blessed me, and when all
123 Zebulun | without 3 sickness, for the Lord knoweth the purposes of
124 Zebulun | neighbour, even so also will the Lord do to him. 4 For the sons
125 Zebulun | sail upon the sea, for the Lord gave me understanding and
126 Zebulun | them. Wherefore also the Lord satisfied me with abundance
127 Zebulun | manifold 7 more from the Lord.] For five years I caught
128 Zebulun | man with mercy, that the 2 Lord also may have compassion
129 Zebulun | same degree hath the 4, 5 Lord also upon him.] And when
130 Zebulun | for everything which the Lord made hath but one head,
131 Zebulun | things ye shall remember the Lord, and repent, [And He shall
132 Zebulun | shall arise unto you the Lord Himself, the light of righteousness, [
133 Zebulun | shall keep the law of the Lord, and the commandments 3
134 Zebulun | upon the ungodly shall the Lord bring eternal fire, and
135 Zebulun | fathers. But 6 do ye fear the Lord our God with all your strength
136 Dan | though it be a prophet of the Lord, he disobeyeth him; though
137 Dan | continually disturbed, the Lord departeth from it, and Beliar
138 Dan | the commandments of the Lord, And keep His law; Depart
139 Dan | And hate lying, That the Lord may dwell among you, And
140 Dan | prevail over you. 3 Love the Lord through all your life, And
141 Dan | ye shall depart from the Lord, And ye shall provoke Levi
142 Dan | them, For an angel of the Lord shall guide them both; For
143 Dan | whensoever ye depart from the Lord, ye shall walk in all evil
144 Dan | cause them to sin before the Lord. 7 And my sons will draw
145 Dan | so when ye return to the Lord ye shall obtain mercy, And
146 Dan | Levi the salvation of the Lord; And he shall make war against
147 Dan | disobedient hearts unto the Lord, And give to them that call
148 Dan | be led captive; For the Lord shall be in the midst of
149 Dan | 6 1, 2 And now, fear the Lord, my children, and beware
150 Dan | destroy all that call upon the Lord. For he knoweth that upon
151 Dan | lawlessness of Israel, that the Lord will not depart from them,
152 Naphtali| And as he 5 glorified the Lord, he grew strong and said
153 Naphtali| accordingly, so also doth the Lord make the body after the
154 Naphtali| meet for, so also doth the Lord know the body, how far it
155 Naphtali| inclination or thought which the Lord knoweth not, for He created
156 Naphtali| either in the law of the Lord or in the works of Beliar.
157 Naphtali| astray, and forsook the Lord, and changed their order,
158 Naphtali| all created things, the Lord who made all things, that
159 Naphtali| of their nature, whom the Lord cursed at the flood, on
160 Naphtali| also shall depart from the Lord, walking according to all
161 Naphtali| wickedness of Sodom. And the Lord shall bring captivity upon
162 Naphtali| 3 tribulation, until the Lord have consumed you all. And
163 Naphtali| return and acknowledge the Lord your God; and He shall bring
164 Naphtali| they shall again forget the Lord and become ungodly. And
165 Naphtali| become ungodly. And the Lord shall scatter them upon
166 Naphtali| until the compassion of the Lord shall come, a man working
167 Naphtali| prayed for us all unto the Lord. And when the storm ceased,
168 Naphtali| for I see always that the Lord numbereth him with you,
169 Naphtali| shall fear you, And the Lord shall love you, [And the
170 Naphtali| shall master him, And the Lord shall hate him. 7 For the
171 Naphtali| of every word, that the Lord may love you. ~9 1 And when
172 Gad | man worketh the law of the Lord, he praiseth him not; though
173 Gad | though a man feareth the Lord, and taketh pleasure in
174 Gad | lawlessness even against the Lord Himself. 2 For it will not
175 Gad | own heart, 4 because the Lord looketh on his inclination.
176 Gad | lest he should offend the Lord, he will not do wrong to
177 Gad | out the judgements of the Lord, and thy mind will rest
178 Gad | wait for the end of the Lord. For if he taketh away (
179 Gad | from envy he pleaseth the Lord in all things, is blessed
180 Gad | for from 2 them shall the Lord raise up salvation to Israel. [
181 Gad | and corruption before the Lord.] 3 And when he had rested
182 Asher | upright in the sight of the Lord. 3 Two ways hath God given

187 Asher | the commandments of the Lord, following the truth 2 with
188 Asher | children, keep the law of the Lord, and give not heed unto
189 Asher | all 4 commandments of the Lord, having your conversation

194 Joseph | brethren hated me, but the Lord loved me: They wished to
195 Joseph | sold into slavery, and the Lord of all made me free: I was
196 Joseph | beset with hunger, and the Lord Himself nourished me. 6
197 Joseph | me: I was sick, and the Lord visited me: I was in prison,
198 Joseph | beaten, I was mocked; but the Lord granted me to find mercy
199 Joseph | of the prison. 4 For the Lord doth not forsake them that
