Twelve dying men. Twelve final testimonies. One thread of prophecy running through all of them.
As the patriarch Jacob lay dying, his twelve sons gathered around his bed - and in the tradition preserved here, each son later did the same before his own children. He spoke a testament: not a sermon, but a confession, a warning, and a prophecy, delivered by a man with nothing left to protect.
As the patriarch Jacob lay dying, his twelve sons gathered around his bed - and in the tradition preserved here, each son later did the same before his own children. He spoke a testament: not a sermon, but a confession, a warning, and a prophecy, delivered by a man with nothing left to protect.
Reuben admits the transgression he could never undo. Simeon confesses the hatred that poisoned him from within. Judah lays bare the war between strength of body and weakness of will. Gad describes a resentment that ate at him for eleven months like an acid. And running through all twelve testimonies is something more than confession - a persistent, unmistakable expectation of a coming deliverer, a figure who will be both priest and king, who will open the heavens and raise the dead.
This edition presents the complete text of The Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs, one of the most significant works of Jewish Pseudepigrapha, alongside sustained commentary written for the general reader, the student of scripture, and the serious believer. Inside this edition:
