Chapter 28

The Tribe of Asher: The Blessing of Israel


1

And filled with the breatha of Ha’Elohimb, Jacob spoke unto his son Asher, saying:

2

Out of Asher shall come much grains and fat breads, for thou art as the olive tree, and thou shall yield delicacies befitting thy King;

3

Therefore, thy throne shall be set to the Easta, and the sea shall be as a wall upon thee, for thou art the peace of Israel.

4

And in the eleventha month, there shall be heavy rains upon the earth that thou shalt find thy strength, and that the earth should be prepared for thee, and thy seed shall be ready;

5

For thy seed shall wear two faces, and they that seek peace shall see the face of war upon thee; and they that see war shall see the face of peace;

6

Therefore, let thy hands be thy strength in Ha’Elohim and thy tongue be thy weapon in YHVHa that none might defeat thee.

7

Seek ye after truth, and YHVH shall lead thee, and the breath of Elohima shall be thy breath, and the voice of Ha’Elohim shall be upon thy tongue;

8

And in that day, after thou hast been driven Northa, thy seed shall lay waste to those that should oppress them, and their strength shall be made known.

9

¶ And at the last day thy sons shall bear the weight of bartering in Israel, that the will of YHVH be known and the justice of Elohim be made whole;

10

For in that day, brother shall turn against brother, sister against sister; father against son, and mother against daughter;

11

So it is that they who shall slay the wicked too shall be wicked and they that slay the just shall also be just; and thy seed shall be their defenders.

12

And thy seed shall be tasked with the treaties of Israel; therefore, thy camp shall ever be to the North, for there doth the wisdom of Elohim preside.

13

¶ And thy daughters in that day shall be made clean and shall prepare the table for the banquet that Israel might make feasts in the name of YHVH;

14

And they shall pour out their libationsa upon the altars and serve up the wine to those that shall drink to the reign of the true King;

15

And the king of peacea shall guide them, and the towerb of YHVH shall defend them and be their strength, and thy daughters shall even be as watchmen upon the towers.

16

And thy sons also shall stand watch and make ready that the sons of Levi should come forth from their midst and offer up a sacrifice unto YHVH Elohim in righteousness.

17

¶ And in that day, thou shall sit with Levi and with Judah and study the words of YHVH to know the teachings of Ha’Elohim;

18

Therefore, my son Asher, cease not thy prayers and thy supplication before YHVH, but seek after the wisdoma of Elohim that it should grow in the land as a treeb of great strength;

19

And that tree shall be unto thee as a pillar of righteousness before YHVH Elohima, and written upon it shall be the understandingb of Ha’Elohim;

20

For even as the serpenta shall wind itself upon thy feet and bruise thy heel, the pillar of El Elyonb shall bear down to smash its head, even as thou art knelt in thy supplication;

21

Therefore, carve the name of YHVH into the pillarsa, and carve the Torahb of YHVH into the pillars, and wear these upon thy heart that the justicec and mercyd of YHVH Elohim be known.
