The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs 68 — Issachar Chapter 7

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

1Behold, therefore, as ye see, I am a hundred and twenty-six years old and am not conscious of committing any sin.

2Except my wife I have not known any woman. I never committed fornication by the uplifting of my 'eyes'.

3I drank not wine, to be led astray thereby; I coveted not any desirable thing that was my neighbour's.

4Guile arose not in my heart; A lie passed not through my lips.

5If any man were in distress I joined my sighs with his, And I shared my bread with the poor. I wrought godliness, all my days I kept truth.

That is the first paragraph of The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs 68
