The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs 23
Levi 7
The speaker told his father not to be angry because by him the Lord would bring the Canaanites to nought and give their land to his seed.
1nd I said to my father, Be not angry, sir, because by thee will the Lord bring to nought the Canaanites, and will give their land to thee, and to thy seed after thee.
2 For from this day forward shall Shechem be called a city of them that are without understanding; for as a man mocketh at a fool, so did we mock them, because they wrought folly in Israel to defile our sister.
3 And we took our sister from thence, and departed, and came to Bethel.
