1
And it came to pass that the fame of Joshua was told throughout all of Israel, but Joshua did give the honor to יהוה (YHVH), for the congregation did say:
2
Did not Moses prophecy unto us, saying: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth;
3
And Edom shall be a possession; Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly;
4
Yea,and out of Israel shall come he that shall have dominion and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
5
And now, is this not Joshua, son of Nun? Has he not fulfilled this promise?
6
¶ And it came to pass that Joshua spoke unto them, saying: Behold, it is not I that Moses spoke of, for I am but a man.
7
But the Star that shall come out of Jacob shall come from Judah and is the Son of Eloah (לבר אלוֹה); for does not Sefer Seth (one who is appointed) not say:
8
And because that Adam (mankind) did desire to become like Ha’Elohim, יהוה (YHVH) did condescend to take upon Himself the flesh of Adam (mankind), and this because of his compassion and love for all mankind (Adam).
9
And because that Yachad, Yachid, Echad should come and be the very Son of Man (אדם בן), all of Adam (mankind) might be restored to their former glory, being divine, yea, even the very sons and daughters of Elohim;
10
For the Star of Jacob shall give himself unto death for the sake of the whole world.
11
And at the end shall all be restored, even as at the first, and Adam (mankind) and Eve (life) shall be one with Ha’Elohim, knowing good from evil and doing that which is good;
12
And being restored to their former glory shall be restored to their former glory because that their wicked desires shall be taken from them.
13
And the even and Adam (mankind) should be the first, this Star that shall be anointed will be the last having conquered death and shoal;
14
For the Yachad, Yachid, Echad that shall come is the very Star that does shine down above that Tree of Life in the garden of paradise (Eden).
15
And the Star of Jacob, being made ready from before the beginning, shall shine forth in that day brighter than all the other stars,
16
Yea even so bright who seek it shall see that it shall even shine in the day, being brighter than all the other stars, even brighter still that the sun and the moon.
17
It the light of it shall be so bright, that darkness shall flee before it, and the Star of Jacob shall light the way even for the other stars.
18
¶ Wherefore, I cannot be this Star out of Jacob, and I am of seed of Joseph, but that Star shall come forth out of the seed of Judah and shall be the descendent of both harlots and of kings.
19
And know too that I fight not these battles for Israel, but it is יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, that doth give unto us these land, and destroy utterly the elohim of their peoples;
20
Therefore, give not unto me that to which is due unto יהוה (YHVH), but give all glory unto יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim.
21
¶ And so it was that Joshua did give the honor to יהוה (YHVH), and the people did open their mouths, and with their tongues did they confess and give all glory to יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim.
