Testament of Gad

Chapter 2

  1. 1 I confess now my sin, my children, that oftentimes I wished to kill him, because I hated him from
  2. 2 my heart. Moreover, I hated him yet more for his dreams; and I wished to lick him out of the land of the living, even as an ox licketh up the grass of the field.
  3. 3 Therefore I and Simeon sold him to the Ishmaelites [for thirty pieces of gold, and ten of them we hid, and showed the twenty to our brethren]
  4. 4 And thus through covetousness we were bent on slaying him.
  5. 5 And the God of my fathers delivered him from my hands, that I should not work lawlessness in Israel.
