The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs 78
Zebulun 10
Zebulun told his children not to grieve his death, for he would arise again as a ruler among them.
1nd now, my children, grieve not that I am dying, nor be troubled in that I am passing away from you.
2 For I shall arise once more in the midst of you, as a ruler in the midst of his sons; and I will rejoice in the midst of my tribe, as many as have kept the law of the Lord, and the commandments of Zebulun their father.
3 But upon the ungodly shall the Lord bring everlasting fire, and will destroy them throughout all generations.
4 I am hastening away unto my rest, as did my fathers; but do ye fear the Lord your God with all your strength all the days of your life.
5 And when he had said these things he fell calmly asleep, and his sons laid him in a coffin; and afterwards they carried him up to Hebron, and buried him with his fathers.
