Testament of Dan

Chapter 6

  1. 1 And now, fear the Lord, my children, and beware of Satan and his spirits. Draw near unto God and unto the angel that intercedeth for you, for he is a mediator between God and man, and for the
  2. 3 peace of Israel he shall stand up against the kingdom of the enemy. Therefore is the enemy eager
  3. 4 to destroy all that call upon the Lord. For he knoweth that upon the day on which Israel shall
  4. 5 repent, the kingdom of the enemy shall be brought to an end. For the very angel of peace shall
  5. 6 strengthen Israel, that it fall not into the extremity of evil. And it shall be in the time of the lawlessness of Israel, that the Lord will not depart from them, but will transform them into a nation
  6. 7 that doeth His will, for none of the angels will be equal unto him. And His name shall be in every place in Israel, and among the Gentiles.
  7. 8 Keep, therefore, yourselves, my children, from every evil work, And cast away wrath and all lying, And love truth and long-suffering.
  8. 9 And the things which ye have heard from your father, do ye also impart to your children [that the Saviour of the Gentiles may receive you; for he is true and long-suffering, meek and lowly, and
  9. 10 teacheth by his works the law of God]. Depart, therefore, from all unrighteousness, and cleave unto the righteousness of God, and your race will be saved for ever. And bury me near my fathers.
