The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph
1And now, my children, grieve not that I am 'dying', nor be cast down in that I am coming to my end.
2For I shall rise again in the midst of you, 'as a ruler in the midst of his sons'; and I shall rejoice in the midst of my tribe, as many as shall keep the law of Yahuah (Lord), 'and the commandments of Zebulun their father'.
3But upon the ungodly shall Yahuah (Lord) bring eternal fire, and destroy them throughout all generations.
4But I am now hastening away to my rest, as did also my fathers.
