The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs 66 — Issachar Chapter 5

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

1Keep, therefore, my children, the law of Elohim (God), And get singleness, 'And walk in guilelessness, Not playing the busybody with the business of your neighbour.

2But love Yahuah (Lord) and your neighbour, Have compassion on the poor and weak.'

3Bow down your back unto husbandry, And toil in labours 'in all manner of husbandry, Offering gifts to Yahuah (Lord) with thanksgiving.'

4For with the first-fruits of the earth will Yahuah (Lord) bless you, even as He blessed all the saints from Abel even until now.

5For no other portion is given to you 'than of the fatness of the earth, whose fruits are raised by toil.
