1TESTAMENT OF ASHER - Copy of the testament of Asher, which he spoke to his sons.
2Hear, sons of Asher, the words of your father.
3God gave to the sons of men two ways and two inclinations, two forms of action and two destinies.
4Therefore all things are in pairs, one against the other.
5There are two ways: of good and of evil, and two thoughts in our breast that decide them.
6If the soul desires the good, all its action is in righteousness.
7And if it sins, it immediately repents.
8Thinking righteous things and rejecting wickedness, it soon overthrows evil.
9But if the mind inclines toward evil, all its actions are in wickedness.
10And driving away the good, it embraces evil and is dominated by Beliar.
