Works Biblical apocrypha The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs
VI.--The Testament of Zebulun Concerning Compassion and Mercy.

10.

And now, my children, grieve not that I am dying, nor be troubled in that I am passing away from you. For I shall arise once more in the midst of you, as a ruler in the midst of his sons; and I will rejoice in the midst of my tribe, as many as have kept the law of the Lord, and the commandments of Zebulun their father. 1 But upon the ungodly shall the Lord bring everlasting fire, and will destroy them throughout all generations. I am hastening away unto my rest, as did my fathers; but do ye fear the Lord your God with all your strength all the days of your life. And when he had said these things he fell calmly asleep, and his sons laid him in a coffin; and afterwards they carried him up to Hebron, and buried him with his fathers.


  1. [Ezek. xlviii. 26, 27. An important example of Hebrew exposition of this prophet.] ↩
