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

1Besides all these there is an eighth spirit of sleep, with which is brought about the trance of nature and the image of death.

2With these spirits are mingled the spirits of error.]

3First, the spirit of fornication is seated in the nature and in the senses; the second, the spirit of insatiableness, in the belly;

4The third, the spirit of fighting, in the liver and gall. The fourth is the spirit of obsequiousness and chicanery, that through officious attention one may be fair in seeming.

5The fifth is the spirit of pride, that one may be boastful and arrogant. The sixth is the spirit of lying, in perdition and in jealousy, to practise deceits, and concealments from kindred and friends.

That is the first paragraph of The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs 3
