The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs 102
Gad 8
Children were told to honour Judah and Levi because from them the Lord would raise up a Saviour to Israel.
1nd do ye also tell these things to your children, that they honour Judah and Levi, for from them shall the Lord raise up a Saviour to Israel.
2 For I know that at the last your children shall depart from them, and shall walk in all wickedness, and mischief, and corruption before the Lord.
3 And when he had rested for a little while, he said again to them, My children, obey your father, and bury me near to my fathers.
4 And he drew up his feet, and fell asleep in peace.
5 And after five years they carried him up, and laid him in Hebron with his fathers.
