Testament of Zebulun 10
Zebulun Prophesies Future Redemption
Open in the reader →1And you will return to your land, and you will see him in Jerusalem because of his holy name.
2And healing and compassion will be in his wings. He himself will redeem every captivity of the sons of men from Beliar, and every spirit of deception will be trampled down.
3And he will turn all the nations to his jealousy, and you will see God in human form, whom the Lord will choose for him—Jerusalem is his name.
4And again, in the craftiness of your works you will provoke him, and you will be cast away from him until the time of completion.
5And now, my children, do not be grieved that I am dying, nor fall down that I am coming to my end.
6For I will rise again in your midst, as a leader in the midst of the sons of righteousness; and I will rejoice in the midst of my tribe, those who keep the law of the Lord and the commandments of Zebulun their father.
7But upon the ungodly the Lord will bring eternal fire, and he will destroy them for generations of generations.
8But as for me, now I hasten to my rest, as also my fathers did.
9But you, fear the Lord our God with all your strength all the days of your life.
10And when he had said these things, he fell asleep, and his sons placed him in a wooden coffin. Later they carried him up and buried him in Hebron with his fathers.
