2
Levi, thou used the strength of thy cunning beside thy brother, Simeon; and in this it is even as I said before: the mekeraha of you are vessels of malicious violence.
3
For in your secret assembly, and in your anger, you slew a man, and sought death at thy pleasure;
4
Therefore, thou too shall be cursed by thy anger, and thy fierce wrath, for thy deeds were cruel.
5
But in thy penance thou sought the succor of YHVHa and to serve YHVH, and this thy seed shall do:
6
And thus, that thy seed should serve YHVH, YHVH will divide them and scatter them throughout Israel;
7
Therefore, thy throne shall be broken apart for a time and for times, and thy seed shall serve to unite thy brethren, even as thou once divided them.
8
¶ And when that time shall come for my children to leave this land, YHVH shall rise one up from thy seed to give my sons and my daughters the Toraha of YHVH;
9
And he shall be taken in, as was thy brother Joseph, by the Egyptians, and they shall teach him in war; yet he shall run and hide from the face of them.
10
And his brother shall open his mouth that my son shall be heard; and his sister shall be riled up along side him, and these three shall be the salvation of Israel from Egypt.
11
¶ And when thy brethren are driven to the Northa, and to the Eastb, and to the Southc, and to the Westd, thy seed shall be with them;
12
For thou shalt be taken and scattered throughout the earth with thy brethren and shall suffer with them.
13
And in the firsta month, even when the spring shall come, thy seed shall make ready that sacrifice in righteousness.
14
And thou art as a veila between the heavens and the earth, for through thy seed shall the power of YHVH prepare the creation for the coming down of the heavens.
15
¶ But when the veil shall be torna, thy seed shall share in these duties with thy brethren and sistren, yet ye shall teach them that they should know to do so in righteousness.
16
And thy daughters shall do likewise, and pour out their libationsa to wash the earth clean, and find joy in the wisdomb of Ha’Elohim and serve YHVH in righteousness;
17
And they shall sing the holy songs and dance the holy dancesa before YHVH for the pleasure of Ha’Elohim.
18
And a banner of whitea, and blackb, and redc shall go out before thee and thy seed, for the love of YHVH shall be their foundationd and their strength.
19
¶ And in the last days, ye shall remember my holy days and teach them to thy brethren,
20
Both thy sons and thy daughters shall work with thy brother, Ephraim, to bring them back to their inheritance;
21
And thy remembrance shall be great, and thy covenants shall be restored to thee, and thou shall teach thy brethren again to remember the lawa of sacrificeb.
22
And thy sons and thy daughters shall work as one to teach my seed, yea and even all of the creation:
23
To prepare the earth, to cleans the earth, and to love all of this, the creation of Elohim.
24
¶ And Levi, my son, I give unto thee this charge: That thy seed shall not forget thy daughters, nor sell their birthright;
25
For at the last days, wisdoma shall be forgotten, but as a whisper upon the lips of the righteous;
26
Forget not to plant the trees, and pour libations upon the altars, and burn the fire of incense that YHVH may be pleased in thy service.
27
And be in council with thy brethren, that YHVH be remembered, and that knowledge be tempered by wisdoma, and that strengthb be tempered by mercyc, that my sons and daughters might find understandingd in YHVH:
28
For in thy cunning did thou bring much violencea against my house; but in thy seed should thy cunning be used for the pleasure of YHVH Elohimb;
29
And at the last days, ye shall sit upon the throne with thy brethren and be remembered as he who united Israel in YHVH.
