children

,

and

get

simplicity

,

and

walk

in

guilelessness

,

not

prying

over

-

curiously

into

the

commands

of

God

and

the

business

of

your

neighbour

;

but

love

the

Lord

and

your

neighbour

,

have

compassion

on

the

poor

and

weak

.

Bow

down

your

back

unto

husbandry

,

and

labour

in

tillage

of

the

ground

in

all

manner

of

husbandry

,

offering

gifts

unto

the

Lord

with

thanksgiving

;

for

with

the

first

-

fruits

of

the

earth

did

the

Lord

bless

me

,

even

as

He

blessed

all

the

saints

from

Abel

even

until

now

.

For

no

other

portion

is

given

to

thee

than

of

the

fatness

of

the

earth

,

whose

fruits

are

raised

by

toil

;

for

our

father

Jacob

blessed

me

with

blessings

of

the

earth

and

of

first

-

fruits

.

And

Levi

and

Judah

were

glorified

by

the

Lord

among

the

sons

of

Jacob

;

for

the

Lord

made

choice

of

them

,

and

to

the

one

He

gave

the

priesthood

,

to

the

other

the

kingdom

.

Them

therefore

obey

,

and

walk

in

the

simplicity

of

your

father

;

for

unto

Gad

hath

it

been

given

to

destroy

the

temptations

that

are

coming

upon

Israel

.
