The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs 63 — Issachar Chapter 2

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

1Then appeared to Jacob an angel of Yahuah (Lord), saying: Two children shall Rachel bear, inasmuch as she hath refused company with her husband, and hath chosen continency.

2And had not Leah my mother paid the two apples for the sake of his company, she would have borne eight sons; for this reason she bare six, and Rachel bare the two: for on account of the mandrakes Yahuah (Lord) visited her.

3For He knew that for the sake of children she wished to company with Jacob, and not for lust of pleasure.

4For on the morrow also she again gave up Jacob. Because of the mandrakes, therefore, Yahuah (Lord) hearkened to Rachel.

5For though she desired them, she eat them not, but offered them in the house of Yahuah (Lord), presenting them to the priest of the El Elyon (Most High) who was at that time.
