The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs 50 — Yahudah (Judah) Chapter 15

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

1He that committeth fornication is not aware when he suffers loss, and is not ashamed when put to dishonour.

2For even though a man be a king and commit fornication, he is stripped of his kingship by becoming the slave of fornication, as I myself also suffered.

3For I gave my staff, that is, the stay of my tribe; and my girdle, that is, my power; and my diadem, that is, the glory of my kingdom.

4And indeed I repented of these things; wine and flesh I eat not until my old age, nor did I behold any joy.

5And the angel of Elohim (God) showed me that for ever do women bear rule over king and beggar alike.
