The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs 118 — Joseph Chapter 8

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

1I declare, therefore, unto you, my children, that it was about the sixth hour when she departed from me; and I knelt before Yahuah (Lord) all the day, and all the night; and about dawn I rose up, weeping the while and praying for a release from her.

2At last, then, she laid hold of my garments, forcibly dragging me to have connection with her.

3When, 'therefore', I saw that in her madness she was holding fast to my garment, I left it behind, and fled away naked.

4And holding fast to the garment she falsely accused me, and when her husband came he cast me into prison in his house; and on the morrow he scourged me and sent me into Pharaoh's prison.
