Twelve Patriarchs 6

Patriarkhai

TESTAMENT OF ZEBULUN - Copy of the words of Zebulun, which he commanded to his sons.

2Hear me, sons of Zebulun, attend to the words of your father.

3I, Zebulun, was born a good gift for my parents.

4For when I was born, my father became very prosperous in flocks and herds.

5I know myself guilty of no sin, except in thought.

6I remember that I committed no iniquity, except in the sin of ignorance against Joseph.

7For I made a covenant with my brothers not to tell my father what had been done.

8I wept in secret many days because of Joseph, for I feared my brothers.

9I wanted to free him, but they would not let me.

10The God of my fathers kept my hand from shedding innocent blood.
