The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs 2 — Reuben Chapter 2

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

1And now hear me, my children, what things I saw concerning the seven spirits of deceit, when I repented.

2Seven spirits therefore are appointed against man, and they are the leaders in the works of youth.

3[And seven other spirits are given to him at his creation, that through them should be done every work of man,

4The first is the spirit of life, with which the constitution (of man) is created. The second is the sense of sight, with which ariseth desire.

5The third is the sense of hearing, with which cometh teaching. The fourth is the sense of smell, with which tastes are given to draw air and breath.

That is the first paragraph of The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs 2
