Testament of Asher
Chapter 7
- 1 Become not, my children, as Sodom, which sinned against the angels of the Lord, and perished for
- 2 ever. For I know that ye shall sin, and be delivered into the hands of your enemies; and your land shall be made desolate, and your holy places destroyed, and ye shall be scattered unto the four
- 3 corners of the earth. And ye shall be set at nought in the dispersion vanishing away as water. Until the Most High shall visit the earth, coming Himself [as man, with men eating and drinking, and breaking the head of the dragon in the water. He shall save Israel and all the Gentiles [God speaking in
- 4 the person of man]. [Therefore do ye also, my children, tell these things to your children, that they
- 5 disobey Him not. For I have known that ye shall assuredly be disobedient, and assuredly act ungodly, not giving heed to the law of God, but to the commandments of men, being corrupted
- 6 through wickedness. And therefore shall ye be scattered as Gad and Dan my brethren, and ye shall
- 7 know not your lands, tribe, and tongue. But the Lord will gather you together in faith through His tender mercy, and for the sake of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.]
