Testament of Benjamin

Chapter 11

  1. 1 And I shall no longer be called a ravening wolf on account of your ravages, but [a worker of the Lord, distributing food to them that work what is good.
  2. 2 And there shall rise up from my seed in the latter times one] beloved of the Lord, [hearing upon the earth His voice] and a doer of the good pleasure of His will, [enlightening with new knowledge all the Gentiles, even the light of knowledge, bursting in upon Israel for salvation and tearing away from them like a wolf, and giving to the synagogue of the Gentiles.
  3. 3 Until the consummation of the age shall he be in the synagogues of the Gentiles, and among their
  4. 4 rulers, as a strain of music in the mouth of all. And he shall be inscribed in the holy books, both
  5. 5 his work and his word, and he shall be a chosen one of God for ever. And through them he shall go to and fro as Jacob my father, saying: He shall fill up that which lacketh of thy tribe].
