1
And filled with the breatha of Ha’Elohimb, Jacob spoke unto his son Issachar, saying: Issachar is a strong ass, stretched out between two mounds;
2
And seeing that his resting place was good, and the land, that it was pleasant, he shall pitch his tent upon the neck of the hill and begin his labors upon the earth;
3
Therefore, his throne shall rest to the Northa, and be placed between the Eastb and the Westc that the knowledge and wisdom of Yahd and the mercy of YHVHe shall guide him.
4
¶ And in the fiftha month, when the grapes should be ready for harvest, that the wine of YHVH might be made, thy strength shall come, that thy seed might find joy in the harvest;
5
For the moona shall shine full and bright for thy daughters, and thy sons shall study the words of YHVH that they might teach all of Israel the will of El Elyonb;
6
For Issachar is a learned man, and his seed shall too be learned in the ways of the earth,
7
And they shall read the stars and seek after the signs and wonders Ha’Elohim hath written upon them.
8
And thy sons shall know the times, and thy daughters shall raise their children in wisdom and in all cunning things;
9
Therefore, thy camp shall be made to the East, for there doth the knowledge of Elohima dwell, even upon the qafimb.
10
¶ And in that day that thy seed should be driven North, thy seed shall scatter upon the winds and upon the seas;
11
And thy seed shall be rooted deep within the earth, yet YHVH shall uproot thee that thy seed should be made to spread out.
12
And at that last day, thy daughters shall come in and shall enlighten the sons of man with their knowledge,
13
And thy sons shall go forth and shall teach the daughters of man with their wisdom;
14
Therefore, thy seed shall lift up their heads from out of the earth, and their eyes they shall pull away from the stars that they might teach all of Israel the secrets of YHVH:
15
For Israel is not to be ruled by the heavens, but YHVH shall be their guide,
16
And Ha’Elohim hath written out His decree upon the skies, yet Israel is to bring the will of YHVH to the earth, while all other creation is governed by theira decree.
17
¶ Wherefore, Issachar, teach thy seed to covet not after gold, nor costly apparel, but to wait upon the will of Ha’Elohim and El Elyon, that the spirits of deceit shall have no power over them;
18
Yea, teach thy seed to love the creation even as YHVH loveth His creation, and to have compassion for the lowly, and the poor, and the weak:
19
Issachar, my son, teach thy seed to seek not after slippery things they cannot hold, for this shall lead many to covetousness, fornication, and malice;
20
But teach thy seed the comfort of YHVH Elohim, and to share their bread with the poor, and suckle those in need, and to serve their enemies.
21
And this shall be a hard thing for them, for their eyes shall wonder off after mysteriesa, but if they will harken unto YHVH their Elohim, great shall be the reward of Israel.
