And it came to pass that Moses did share with me his knowledge, and I do write it that my people will remember and learn, never again to be tempted as was our father, Abraham.
2
And thus saith Moses, the Lawgiver of YHVH Tsidkenu (וּנקדצ הוהי YHVH Our Righteousness): When יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim in blessing gives increases to your seed, giving you a child after your image; you shall bring him before יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim, at the temple, or in an assembly Elders;
3
And they, laying their hands upon the child, shall bless it, and the child shall receive a blessing.
4
And you shall not delay this; and if you should need to travel far, yet shalt you bring them before they are eight years of age.
5
And this that the blessing of יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim may be put upon the child, that the heart of your seed shall seek Israel and the covenant, and its righteousness: for such is the Kingdom.
6
And if the child should die, yet shall your seed live in your hearts forever, for your seed is even one of you.
7
And if you have servants, or kin in bondage (for there are no slaves in Israel), you will bring their seed to receive this blessing, for all of Israel be one in יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim.
8
And should the stranger who dwelleth with you bring their child also, you shall take them to receive this blessing,
9
For thus shall the power of the Kingdom be a shield unto their seed, and the heart of their seed shall cleave unto righteousness, that they might be established in Israel forever.
10
And whosoever shall bring a child to be blessed; whether it be a father, or a mother, a master, or a mistress; the same shall teach the child to keep the Torah of יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim.
11
And in this way shall you be honored as fathers and mothers in Israel; but, if you should do it not, and evil befall the child, their blood will be upon you.
12
The Talmidim, High Priests, High Priestesses, and Elders, in their assemblies, and the Priest and the Priestesses thereunto appointed in the Temples of יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim, shall bless with this blessing: for, behold, it is a great sacrament.
13
And this is the Torah of the blessing of infants, and it will be handed down from mouth to ear throughout the tribes of Israel, from generation to generation, forever and ever.
14
And these are the teachings of Moses given for the sake of the life of mankind and for the living.
