About this work

Author: Unknown

10. Now when Joseph was in Egypt, I

‹ Section 9 Section 11 ›

longed

to

see

his

visage

and

the

form

of

his

countenance

;

and

through

the

prayers

of

Jacob

my

father

I

saw

him

,

while

awake

in

the

daytime

,

in

his

full

and

perfect

shape

.

Know

ye

therefore

,

my

children

,

that

I

am

dying

.

Work

therefore

truth

and

righteousness

each

one

with

his

neighbour

,

and

judgment

unto

faithful

doing

,

and

keep

the

law

of

the

Lord

and

His

commandments

;

for

these

things

do

I

teach

you

instead

of

all

inheritance

.

Do

ye

also

therefore

give

them

to

your

children

for

an

everlasting

possession

;

for

so

did

both

Abraham

,

and

Isaac

,

and

Jacob

.

All

these

things

they

gave

us

for

an

inheritance

,

saying

,

Keep

the

commandments

of

God

until

the

Lord

shall

reveal

His

salvation

to

all

nations

.

Then

shall

ye

see

Enoch

,

Noah

,

and

Shem

,

and

Abraham

,

and

Isaac

,

and

Jacob

,

arising

on

the

right

hand

in

gladness

.

Then

shall

we

also

arise

,

each

one

over

our

tribe

,

worshipping

the

King

of

heaven

,

who

appeared

upon

the

earth

in

the

form

of

a

man

of

humility

.

And

as

many

as

believed

on

Him

on

the

earth

shall

rejoice

with

Him

;

and

then

shall

all

men

arise

,

some

unto

glory

and

some

unto

shame

.

And

the

Lord

shall

judge

Israel

first

,

even

for

the

wrong

they

did

unto

Him

;

for

when

He

appeared

as

a

deliverer

,

God

in

the

flesh

,

they

believed

Him

not

.

And

then

shall

He

judge

all

the

Gentiles

,

as

many

as

believed

Him

not

when

He

appeared

upon

earth

.

And

He

shall

reprove

Israel

among

the

chosen

ones

of

the

Gentiles

,

even

as

He

reproved

Esau

among

the

Midianites

,

who

deceived

their

brethren

,

so

that

they

fell

into

fornication

and

idolatry

;

and

they

were

alienated

from

God

,

and

became

as

they

that

were

no

children

in

the

portion

of

them

that

fear

the

Lord

.

But

if

ye

walk

in

holiness

in

the

presence

of

the

Lord

,

ye

shall

dwell

in

hope

again

in

me

,

and

all

Israel

shall

be

gathered

unto

the

Lord

.
