The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs 74 — Zebulun Chapter 6

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

1I was the first to make a boat to sail upon the sea, for Yahuah (Lord) gave me understanding 'and wisdom therein'.

2And I let down a rudder behind it, and I stretched a sail upon another upright piece of wood in the midst.

3And I sailed therein along the shores, catching fish for the house of my father until we came to Egypt.

4[And through compassion I shared my catch with every stranger.

5And if a man were a stranger, or sick, or aged, I boiled the fish, and dressed them well, and offered them to all men, as every man had need, grieving with and having compassion upon them.
