Testament of Joseph

Chapter 18

  1. 1 If ye also, therefore, walk in the commandments of the Lord, my children, He will exalt you there,
  2. 2 and will bless you with good things for ever and ever. And if any one seeketh to do evil unto you,
  3. 3 do well unto him, and pray for him, and ye shall be redeemed of the Lord from all evil. [For], behold, ye see that out of my humility and long -suffering I took unto wife the daughter of the priest of Heliopolis. And a hundred talents of gold were given me with her, and the Lord made
  4. 4 them to serve me. And He gave me also beauty as a flower beyond the beautiful ones of Israel; and He preserved me unto old age in strength and in beauty, because I was like in all things to Jacob.
