1013 Joseph | device. And she departed soothing me with gifts, and sending
1014 Simeon | tombs of the kings. For the sorcerers told them; that on the departure
1015 Reuben | that he smote me with a sore plague in my loins for seven
1016 Joseph | And when I perceived it I sorrowed unto death; and when she

1023 Judah | there are in it four evil spirits--- of 2 lust, of hot desire,
1024 Naphtali| gall for bitterness, the spleen for laughter, the reins
1025 Levi | melting away; And Hades taketh spoils through the visitations

1027 Simeon | Egypt, and he bound me as a spy, I knew that I was suffering

1050 Levi | transgress against the Lord, stretching out hands to wickedness [
1051 Gad | secrets when engaged in legal strife, lest he come to hate thee
1052 Judah | killed him. And as I was 6 stripping off his breastplate, behold
1053 Asher | spirits of 3 deceit, and striving against mankind. Do ye,
1054 Joseph | entrusted to me his house. And I struggled against a shameless woman,
1055 Reuben | labour on good works, and on study and on your flocks, until
1056 Gad | against God. For if a brother stumble, it delighteth immediately
1057 Judah | and whirling it round and stunning it, I cast it from me and
1058 Issachar| every wild beast shall ye subdue, Since you have with you
1059 Judah | Lest haply she did it in 8 subtlety, having received the pledge
1060 Levi | evermore; And there shall none succeed him for all generations

1064 Simeon | a spy, I knew that I was suffering justly, 4 and I grieved
1065 Judah | fornication is not aware when he suffers loss, and is not ashamed
1066 Issachar| said to Rachel: 8 Let it suffice thee that thou hast taken
1067 Zebulun | every man whom I saw, 8 and sufficed for all the house of my
1068 Simeon | good thing. But it ever suggesteth (to him) to destroy him
1069 Zebulun | of my father]. And in the summer I caught fish, and in the
1070 Judah | rushed against them to the summit; and 6 they kept slinging
1071 Reuben | many things unto him, and summoned 10 magicians, and offered
1072 Judah | as I ran, 6 I tore it in sunder. A leopard in Hebron leaped
1073 Levi | year of my life, towards sunrise. And I saw in a vision that
1074 Judah | upon my head I went up, sustaining the assault of stones, upwards
1075 Judah | sea-monsters. They shall swallow men like fishes: The sons
1076 Zebulun | many streams, the earth swalloweth them up, 3, 4 and they vanish
1077 Judah | kingdom for ever; For the Lord sware to me with an oath that
1078 Asher | neighbour provoketh God, and sweareth falsely against the Most
1079 Gad | poison from thee he take 5 to swearing and so thou sin doubly. [
1080 Zebulun | they flow together, they sweep along stones, trees, 2 earth,
1081 Gad | darkness, and calleth the sweet bitter, and teacheth slander,
1082 Levi | Offering to the Lord a sweet- smelling savour, a reasonable
1083 Issachar| Now these (mandrakes) were sweet-smelling apples 6 which were produced
1084 Simeon | lightened. 6 And henceforward he sympathiseth with him whom he envied
1085 Naphtali| Persians, [Chaldeans,] Syrians, shall possess in captivity
1086 Judah | the mountains, Joseph; the tabernacle, Benjamin; the luminaries,
1087 Judah | and I caught it by the tail, and 7 hurled it on the
1088 Judah | stones, upwards of three 6, 7 talents weight; and I slew four
1089 Judah | overtook, and 4 caught it and tamed it. I slew a lion and plucked
1090 Reuben | sense of smell, with which tastes are given 6, 7 to draw air
1091 Levi | prove a friend. 9 Whosoever teaches noble things and does them,
1092 Judah | me in costly apparel, nor tear open my bowels, for this
1093 Judah | shall be false prophets like tempests, And they shall persecute
1094 Joseph | inclination of the soul. 7 In ten temptations He showed me approved, And
1095 Asher | but the end of the action tendeth unto evil. 5 Another stealeth,
1096 Asher | TESTAMENT OF ASHER, THE TENTH SON OF JACOB AND ZILPAH. ~
1097 Judah | Then they asked from us terms of peace; and having taken
1098 Joseph | I looked up and beheld a terrible man giving me with the dish
1099 Judah | And the spirit of truth testifieth all things, and accuseth
1100 Judah | me Judah, saying, I give thanks to the Lord, because He
1101 Issachar| Offering gifts to the Lord with thanksgiving. 4 For with the first-fruits
1102 Reuben | injustice, with which are thefts and acts of rapacity, that
1103 Judah | for a prey all that was theirs, and their three 4 walls
1104 Reuben | as the Lord showed. And thenceforth until now I have 5 been
1105 Naphtali| And a season to abstain therefrom for his prayer. 9 So, then,
1106 | thereupon
1107 | thine
1108 Dan | and then being enraged, he thinketh that he is justly angry
1109 Dan | overcometh wrongfully; and thirdly, having his 5 own natural
1110 Naphtali| death in the hundred 2 and thirtieth year of his life. When his
1111 Levi | Kohath was born in the 5 thirty-fifth year of my life, towards
1112 Issachar| 5 Therefore, when I was thirty-five years old, I took to myself
1113 Levi | had 5 lived a hundred and thirty-seven years. And they laid him
1114 Levi | when thou hast ascended thither, Thou shalt stand near the
1115 Judah | brethren, and pursued a thousand men, and slew of them two
1116 Issachar| And the Lord increased ten thousandfold His benefits in my 8 hands;
1117 Judah | with her a year. And when I threatened him he went in unto her,
1118 Dan | be a mighty man, hath a threefold power in his anger: one
1119 Levi | holy temple, and upon 2 a throne of glory the Most High.
1120 Levi | heaven next to this are thrones and dominions, in which
1121 Gad | hurled it about a stone's throw, and so killed it. Now Joseph
1122 Zebulun | they set me to watch him, till he was 5 sold to the Ishmaelites.
1123 Levi | the morning, 5 and paid tithes of all to the Lord through
1124 Judah | goodness, And oppress him with toils and troubles, And drive
1125 Simeon | Egyptians guarded in the tombs of the kings. For the sorcerers
1126 Judah | seizing it as I ran, 6 I tore it in sunder. A leopard
1127 Asher | departs troubled, it is tormented by the evil spirit which
1128 Judah | would live soberly do not touch wine at all, lest ye sin
1129 Reuben | and mourned over me, and touched her no more. ~4 1 Pay no
1130 Levi | and lawlessness 4 sat upon towers. And I was grieving for
1131 Judah | hid ourselves behind the town, and seized upon the heights,
1132 Naphtali| you]. 5 As a man who has trained a child well is kept in
1133 Reuben | which is brought about the trance of 2 3 nature and the image
1134 Dan | depart from them, but will transform them into a nation 7 that
1135 Judah | and I lay with her, and transgressed the commandment of the 8
1136 Gad | For by what things a man transgresseth, by the same also 11 is
1137 Levi | from your ungodliness and transgression, which ye shall commit in
1138 Gad | because 7 he hath not the travail of vain men. Put away, therefore,
1139 Levi | the saints to eat from the tree of life, And the spirit
1140 Zebulun | and the joints of my body trembled, and I was 6 not able to
1141 Simeon | causeth tumult to the soul and trembling to the body]. 9 For even
1142 Judah | father, we received them as 8 tributaries. And they gave us five hundred
1143 Judah | hurt, 9 and they became tributary to us, and we restored to
1144 Zebulun | and marched through the Troglodytes by a short cut. 7 But Reuben
1145 Issachar| been given to destroy the troops that are coming upon Israel]. ~
1146 Judah | oppress him with toils and troubles, And drive away sleep from
1147 Joseph | the spirit of Beliar was troubling her, I prayed unto 5 the
1148 Joseph | little space He departeth to try the inclination of the soul.
1149 Simeon | away sleep, [and causeth tumult to the soul and trembling
1150 Levi | plate of faith, and the 3 turban of the head, and the ephod
1151 Judah | drunk with wine; for wine turneth the mind away 2 from the
1152 Simeon | died, in the 2 hundred and twentieth year of his life, at which
1153 Issachar| see, I am a hundred and twenty-six years old and am not conscious
1154 Asher | Therefore all things are by twos, one over against the 5
1155 Issachar| sound, and with strength unabated, he slept the eternal sleep. ~
1156 Zebulun | wailing as he did so, I was unable to bear his lamentations,
1157 Levi | the Most High, Men will be unbelieving and persist in their iniquity.
1158 Joseph | Him with a pure heart and undefiled lips. But she held her peace,
1159 Levi | 19 And when I awoke, I understood that this (dream) was like
1160 Zebulun | in the sea, I continued unhurt. ~6 1 I was the first to
1161 Naphtali| your children that they be united to Levi and to Judah; For
1162 Zebulun | brother. For this breaketh unity and divideth all kindred,
1163 Asher | Another stealeth, doeth unjustly, plundereth, defraudeth,
1164 Levi | purifying them with an unlawful purification; and your union
1165 Gad | him if he repent, but the unrepentant is reserved for eternal
1166 Levi | that it beholds all the unrighteous deeds of men. 2 And it has
1167 Issachar| committed fornication by the uplifting of my eyes. 3 I drank not
1168 Asher | is good, because he hath uprooted and destroyed that which
1169 Asher | overthroweth the evil, and uprooteth 8 the sin. But if it incline
1170 Gad | proclaim it to all men, and is urgent that he should be judged
1171 Joseph | against a shameless woman, urging me to transgress with her;
1172 | used
1173 Reuben | because every woman 6 who useth these wiles hath been reserved
1174 Levi | of the Most High shall be uttered over him, And the spirit
1175 Levi | Lord came upon them to the uttermost. ~7 1 And I said to my father
1176 Dan | spirit of jealousy 7 and vainglory said to me: Thou thyself
1177 Simeon | compassion. 5, 6 Because valour also has been given from
1178 Zebulun | swalloweth them up, 3, 4 and they vanish away. So shall ye also be
1179 Asher | nought in the dispersion vanishing away as water. Until the
1180 Issachar| dainties, He delighteth not in varied apparel. 3 He doth not desire
1181 Issachar| Rachel said: Boast not, and vaunt not thyself; for he espoused
1182 Naphtali| on board, there arose a vehement storm, and a mighty tempest
1183 Levi | your wickedness; but the veil of the temple shall be rent,
1184 Gad | and those that had sinned venially it would not suffer to live.
1185 Levi | clothed me with a linen vestment like an ephod. The 8, 9
1186 Dan | be not vexed; for from vexation ariseth wrath with lying.
1187 Naphtali| after the name 12 of the village in which he had been taken
1188 Levi | He shall be thy field and vineyard, And fruits, gold, and silver. ~
1189 Gad | and stirreth up war, and violence and all covetousness; 2
1190 Levi | shall ye pollute, and the virgins of Jerusalem shall ye defile:
1191 Reuben | behalf it will die in wars visible and invisible, and will
1192 Levi | to all the words of the visions which I had seen. And 3
1193 Levi | taketh spoils through the visitations of the Most High, Men will
1194 Joseph | to me under pretence of visiting me. 7 And because she had
1195 Levi | sacrifices. And ye shall make void the law, and set at nought
1196 Dan | affliction. And if ye suffer loss voluntarily, or involuntarily, be not
1197 Levi | without blemish or pollution, w bile yet thou art young,
1198 Simeon | withstand Levi; 6 for he shall wage the war of the Lord, and
1199 Zebulun | as he spoke these words, wailing as he did so, I was unable
1200 Issachar| live a long life, But only waiteth for the will of God. 4 And
1201 Simeon | body to be troubled, and waketh the mind from sleep in confusion;
1202 Judah | Aretan, a city strong and walled and inaccessible, threatening
1203 Asher | proved in my life, and I wandered not from the truth of the
1204 Asher | forbiddeth by His commandments, warding off the evil from the good. ~
1205 Judah | upon them, and they ceased warring against us. Therefore my
1206 Levi | of judgment. The second washed me with pure water, and
1207 Zebulun | not eat, they set me to watch him, till he was 5 sold
1208 Zebulun | Joseph, did not eat, but watched the pit, since Judah feared
1209 Naphtali| and was) pounded by mighty waves, 6 until it was broken up.
1210 Judah | sins; and I learnt my own weakness while thinking myself invincible. ~
1211 Asher | do not ye, my children, wear two faces like unto them,
1212 Zebulun | troubleth the soul, and weareth away the countenance. ~9
1213 Levi | commandments of the Lord, wedded women shall ye pollute,
1214 Judah | her. In the days of the wedding-feast I gave Onan to her in marriage;
1215 Asher | in laughter 2 grief, in wedlock profligacy. Death succeedeth
1216 Gad | him that prospereth, he welcometh evil-speaking, he loveth
1217 Issachar| have seen in it all that is well-pleasing to the Lord. 2 The single-(
1218 Judah | Reuben and Levi on the 3 west. And they that were upon
1219 Judah | us five hundred cors of wheat, five hundred baths of oil,
1220 | Whence
1221 Dan | shall Israel stand. 5 And whensoever ye depart from the Lord,
1222 | whereas
1223 | whereby
1224 | wherein
1225 Zebulun | compassion on the earth, and wheresoever He findeth bowels of mercy
1226 Dan | own peculiar vision. And wherewith encompasseth it his eyes?
1227 Judah | seizing it by the horns, and whirling it round and stunning it,
1228 Levi | And I saw seven men in white raiment saying unto me:
1229 Judah | things, while Tamar was a widow, she heard after two years
1230 Joseph | she said unto me: If thou willest that I should leave my idols,
1231 Joseph | said unto her: The Lord willeth not that those who reverence
1232 Naphtali| and a mighty tempest of wind; and 5 our father, who was
1233 Naphtali| stomach for (grinding), the windpipe for taking in (the breath),
1234 Judah | because of your lewdness and witchcrafts, and idolatries which ye
1235 Asher | plundereth, defraudeth, and withal pitieth the poor: this too
1236 Simeon | for my right hand was half withered for seven days. And I knew,
1237 Simeon | Lord restrained me, and withheld from 13 me the power of
1238 | within
1239 Simeon | they shall not be able to withstand Levi; 6 for he shall wage
1240 Gad | whenever the lion came, or the wolf, or any wild beast against
1241 Reuben | Nor meddle with affairs of womankind. 11 For had I not seen Bilhah
1242 Naphtali| brother of thine from mine own womb, like unto thee. Whence
1243 Naphtali| was still young she was wont 8 to kiss me, and say: May
1244 Zebulun | another upright 3 piece of wood in the midst. And I sailed
1245 Issachar| soul to pine away,] Nor worry with insatiable desire in
1246 Joseph | no power over them that worship God with chastity, behold
1247 Issachar| wickedness of men prospered, thou wouldst not now see the face of
1248 Judah | to fight with me. And I wound my garment on my hand; and
1249 Judah | arrow, and he was taken up wounded on Mount Seir, and 4 as
1250 Joseph | and said unto her: Why, wretched woman, art thou troubled
1251 Gad | shameless and persist in his wrong-doing, even so forgive him from
1252 Zebulun | furlongs, and my bowels yearned towards him in compassion. ~
1253 Naphtali| strong and said that after yesterday's feast he should die. And
1254 Levi | be circumcised; for I was zealous because of the abomination
