About this work

Author: Unknown

6. I was the first who made a boat

‹ Section 5 Section 7 ›

to

sail

upon

the

sea

,

for

the

Lord

gave

me

understanding

and

wisdom

therein

;

and

I

let

down

a

rudder

behind

it

,

and

I

stretched

a

sail

on

an

upright

mast

in

the

midst

;

and

sailing

therein

along

the

shores

,

I

caught

fish

for

the

house

of

my

father

until

we

went

into

Egypt

;

and

through

compassion

,

I

gave

of

my

fish

to

every

stranger

.

And

if

any

man

were

a

stranger

,

or

sick

,

or

aged

,

I

boiled

the

fish

and

dressed

them

well

,

and

offered

them

to

all

men

as

every

man

had

need

,

bringing

them

together

and

having

compassion

upon

them

.

Wherefore

also

the

Lord

granted

me

to

take

much

fish

:

for

he

that

imparteth

unto

his

neighbour

,

receiveth

manifold

more

from

the

Lord

.

For

five

years

I

caught

fish

,

and

gave

thereof

to

every

man

whom

I

saw

,

and

brought

sufficient

for

all

the

house

of

my

father

.

In

the

summer

I

caught

fish

,

and

in

the

winter

I

kept

sheep

with

my

brethren

.
