1TESTAMENT OF NAPHTALI - Copy of the testament of Naphtali, which he commanded in his last words.
2When my father Jacob returned from Paddan-Aram, I and my brothers were about sixteen years old.
3I was swift of foot like a deer, and my father Jacob appointed me to run all errands.
4And like a deer he gave me his blessing.
5My mother was Bilhah, daughter of Rotheus, brother of Deborah, the nurse of Rebekah.
6Bilhah was born on the same day as Rachel, and therefore Laban gave her as a servant to Rachel.
7Bilhah served Rachel and gave birth to me and my brother Dan.
8Therefore she called my name Naphtali, saying: With wrestlings of God I have wrestled with my sister.
9Now, my sons, I command you to fear the Lord your God.
10And you shall keep his commandments all your days.
