1
And it came to pass that Joseph dwelt in Egypt; and Joseph and Asenath saw the children of their son Ephraim up unto even the third generation;
2
The children of Machir also, the son of Manasseh, were brought up upon the knees of Joseph and Asenath.
3
¶ And it came to pass that in his old age, Joseph said unto his brethren: I die and go unto my fathers; and I go down to my grave with joy.
4
The Elohima of my father Jacob be with you, to deliver you out of affliction in the days of your bondage;
5
For the angel of YHVHa hath visited me, and I have obtained a promise of YHVHb that out of the fruit of my loins YHVH Elohimc will raise up a righteous branch out of my loins;
6
And unto thee, whom my father Jacob hath named Israel, a prophet (not the Messiah who is called Shiloha); and this prophet shall deliver my people out of Egypt in the days of thy bondage.
7
And it shall come to pass that they shall be scattered again; and a branch shall be broken off and shall be carried into a far country;
8
Nevertheless, they shall be remembered in the covenants of YHVH when the Messiah cometh;
9
For he shall be made manifest unto them in the latter days, in the Spirit of power, and shall bring them out of darkness into light—out of hidden darkness and out of captivity unto freedom.
10
¶ And a seera shall YHVH my Elohim raise up, who shall be a choice seer unto the fruit of my loins.
11
Thus saith YHVH, the Elohim of my fathers unto me: A choice seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins, and he shall be esteemed highly among the fruit of thy loins;
12
And unto him will I give commandment, that he shall do a work for the fruit of thy loins, his brethren;
13
And his brethren, which shall be of great worth unto them, even to the bringing of them to the knowledge of the covenants which I have made with thy fathers.
14
And I will give unto him a commandmenta, that he shall do none other work, save the work which I shall command him;
15
And I will make him great in mine eyes: for he shall do my work.
16
And he shall be great like unto Mosesa, whom I have said I would raise up unto you, to deliver my people, O house of Israel.
17
And this Moses will I raise up, to deliver My people out of the land of Egypt, but a seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins;
18
And unto him will I give power to bring forth my word unto the seed of thy loins;
19
And not to the bringing forth of my word only, saith YHVH, but to the convincing them of my Word, which shall have already gone forth among them;
20
Wherefore, the fruit of my loins shall write; and the fruit of the loins of Judah shall write;
21
And that which shall be written by the fruit of thy loins, and also that which shall be written by the fruit of the loins of Judah, shall grow together, unto the confounding of false doctrines, and laying down of contentions,
22
And establishing peace among the fruit of thy loins, and bringing them to the knowledge of their fathers in the latter days; and also to the knowledge of my covenants, saith YHVH.
23
¶ And out of weakness he shall be made strong, in that day when my work shall commence among all my people, unto the restoring thee, O house of Israel, saith YHVH.
24
Behold, that seer will YHVH bless; and they that seek to destroy him, shall be confounded:
25
For this promise, of which I have obtained of YHVH, of the fruit of my loins, shall be fulfilled; behold, I am sure of the fulfilling of this promise.
26
And his name shall be called after me; and it shall be after the name of his father,
27
And he shall be like unto me; for the thing which YHVH shall bring forth by his hand, by the power of YHVH shall bring my people unto salvation.
28
I am sure of this thing, even as I am sure of the promise of Moses: for the angel of YHVH hath said unto me: I will preserve thy seed forever.
29
¶ And the angel of YHVH hath said: YHVH will raise up a Moses, and I will give power unto him in a roda, and will give judgment unto him in writing;
30
Yet YHVH will not loose his tongue, that he shall speak much: for YHVH will not make him mighty in speaking;
31
But YHVH will write unto him the Toraha, by the finger of the hand of YHVH; and will make a spokesman for him.
32
¶ And the angel of YHVH said unto me also: YHVH will raise up unto the fruit of thy loins; and will make for him a spokesman;
33
And behold, YHVH will give unto him, that he shall write the writing of the fruit of thy loins, unto the fruit of thy loins; and the spokesman of thy loins shall declare it.
34
And the words which he shall write, shall be the words which is expedient in my wisdom, should go forth unto the fruit of thy loins;
35
And it shall be as if the fruit of thy loins had cried unto them from the dust:
36
For YHVH knoweth their faith, and they shall cry from the dust; yea, even teshuvaha unto their brethren, even that after many generations have gone by them.
37
¶ And it shall come to pass that their cry shall go, even according to the simpleness of their words:
38
Because of their faith, their words shall proceed forth out of my mouth unto their brethren, which are the fruit of thy loins;
39
And the weakness of their words will I make strong in their faith, unto the remembering of my covenant which I hath made unto thy fathers;
40
¶ And the covenant which YHVH make with thee and thy seed, Joseph, is this: That wherever thy seed should dwell, inasmuch as they shall keep my commandmentsa, they shall prosper in the land;
41
And inasmuch as they will not keep my commandments, they shall be cut off from my presence.
42
¶ And it came to pass that Joseph spoke unto them, saying: Teach thy children, therefore, bring them up in the right way that they should go, that they should not depart from it, and YHVH shall keep the covenantsa and my seed shall never perish as long as the earth should stand;
43
Therefore, God will surely visit you and bring you out of this land unto the land which he swore unto Abraham, and unto Isaac, and unto Jacob.
44
And Joseph confirmed many other things unto his brethren and took an oath of the children of Israel, saying unto them: Ha’Elohima will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
45
¶ And it came to pass that Joseph died, having reached the hundred and tenth degree.
46
And they embalmed him, and they put him in a coffin in Egypt; and he was kept from burial by the children of Israel, that he might be carried up and laid in the sepulcher with his father.
47
And it came to pass that when Israel left the land of Egypt, they did remember the oath which they swore unto him, their father, Joseph.
