The Testament of the 12 Patriarchs; a collection of the final words from the sons of Jacob, exhorting their sons to walk in truth and in righteousness. Each patriarch has a unique message and perspective to share with the audience, containing unmistakable messianic prophecies and visions of end times revelation and impending judgement. The Testaments reflect some of the highest and noblest ethical teaching available, and truly foreshadow many of our Messiah’s own precepts.
The collection was preserved in Greek, Slavonic, Georgian, Serbian, Armenian, Venetian and Latin. They were included in some canons, such as the Armenian Orthodox, and were quoted by and alluded to through prominent early assembly writers such as Origen and Jerome. Nevertheless, they are speculated by ‘scholars’ to be pseudepigraphal and perhaps even Christian works. However, the avid researcher may be excited to know that the Dead Sea Scrolls findings included parts Levi and Naphtali; dating to a minimum of 100-200 BC; thus lending credibility to the entire work. While we believe the Testaments to be inspired, and profitable for doctrine, reproof, for correction and instruction in righteousness, it is up to you to test them and decide. With that being said, let’s study together to show ourselves approved.
We are told not to lust, fornicate, envy, be drunken, angry, have hatred and many other ways of wicked. But ‘how’ do we flee from these behaviors? If you’re looking for help, or are curious to the answer to these, and many more issues, this series is for you.

Thank you, been a while since I have watched from Parable of the vineyard, and this was very insightful for me. Being tested with anger and frustration, like I never have before in my life. Trying to find my path to peace not just inner, but within others. Thank you, peace be with us.
Do we go and reconcile with our neighbor too before we offer up prayers? Making the difference that our brother is a believer and neighbor isn’t. Or is neighbor also a reference to someone within the faith, if so would nonbelievers be enemies?
If interested to obtain a hard copy of these testaments, highly recommend "Testaments of the Patriarchs & Prophets" found in Sacred Word publishing. Bought a hard copy and found all the Testaments of the sons of Jacob plus more. You will read about how Joseph met his wife .. Very fascinating and such a great blessing.
Also where are you getting all these other extra biblical texts that are not even found in the Cepher , such as the testaments of the 12 ………. !
You read that if he slew yoseph that that would be the destruction of the second tribe of Yashar ‘ el please enlighten me as to who was the first to have all ready been destroyed . You also read where it said as I understood it , that Masciac would come out of Yoseph ! Just so you know I too also have started studying from the Book (et Cepher) so far I’ve found a few places where scriptures concerning the same subject conflict! For instance, the story of Chanok regarding the way in which he left the Earth one says he walked with Yahwua for 300years and he was no more for Elohim took him implying he didn’t suffer the physical death and et Cepher says I believe in either the book of Yashar or Chanok it speaks of his death ! Please your thoughts !
