The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs 56 — Yahudah (Judah) Chapter 21

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

1And now, my children, I command you, love Levi, that ye may abide, and 'exalt not yourselves against him', lest ye be utterly destroyed.

2[For to me Yahuah (Lord) gave the kingdom, and to him the priesthood, and He set the kingdom beneath the priesthood.

3To me He gave the things upon the earth; to him the things in the heavens.

4As the heaven is higher than the earth, so is the priesthood of Elohim (God) higher than the earthly kingdom, unless it falls away through sin from Yahuah (Lord) and is dominated by the earthly kingdom.'

5For 'the angel of Yahuah (Lord) said unto me': Yahuah (Lord) chose him rather than thee, to draw near to Him, and to eat of His table and to offer Him the first-fruits' of the choice things of the sons of Yashar'el (Israel); but thou shalt be king of Jacob.
