The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs 37
Judah 2
After seeing he could run with the hind, he caught it and prepared meat for his father.
1nd the Lord showed me favour in all my works both in the field and at home.
2 When I saw that I could run with the hind, then I caught it, and prepared meat for my father.
3 I seized upon the roes in the chase, and all that was in the plains I outran.
4 A wild mare I outran, and I caught it and tamed it; and I slew a lion, and plucked a kid out of its mouth.
5 I took a bear by its paw, and rolled it over a cliff; and if any beast turned upon me, I rent it like a dog.
6 I encountered the wild boar, and overtaking it in the chase, I tore it.
7 A leopard in Hebron leaped upon the dog, and I caught it by the tail, and flung it from me, and it was dashed to pieces in the coasts of Gaza.
8 A wild ox feeding in the field I seized by the horns; and whirling it round and stunning it, I cast it from me, and slew it.
