The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs 113 — Joseph Chapter 3

The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph

1How often did the Egyptian woman threaten me with death! How often did she give me over to punishment, and then call me back and threaten me, and when I was unwilling to company with her, she said to me:

2Thou shalt be lord of me, and all that is in mine house, if thou wilt give thyself unto me, and thou shalt be as our master.

3But I remembered the words of my father, and going into my chamber, 'I wept and' prayed unto Yahuah (Lord).

4And I fasted in those seven years, and I appeared to the Egyptians as one living delicately, for they that fast for Elohim's (God's) sake receive beauty of face.

5And if my lord were away from home, I drank no wine; nor for three days did I take my food, but I gave it to the poor and sick.

That is the first paragraph of The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs 113
