The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph
1Behold I have told you all things, that I may be acquitted of your sin.
2Now, if ye remove from you your envy and all stiff-neckedness, As a rose shall my bones flourish in Yashar'el (Israel), And as a lily my flesh in Jacob, And my odour shall be as the odour of Libanus; And as cedars shall holy ones be multiplied from me for ever, And their branches shall stretch afar off.
