1The copy of the words of Dan, which he spake to his sons in his last days, in the hundred and twenty-fifth year of his life.
2For he called together his family, and said: Hearken to my words, ye sons of Dan; and give heed to the words 'of your father'.
3I have proved in my heart, and in my whole life, that truth with just dealing is good and well pleasing to Elohim (God), and that lying and anger are evil, because they teach man all wickedness.
4I confess, therefore, this day to you, my children, that in my heart resolved on the death of Joseph 'my brother', the true and good man.
5[And I rejoiced that he was sold, because his father loved him more than us.]
