Testament of Moses
There are two books one is Assumption of Moses which is also referred to as testament of Moses partially found and a piece named words of Moses found in dead sea scrolls , The phrases of Moses is not like a testomony so i can placed phrases of Moses textual content here however Assumption of Moses you read your self(it is Quoted by using Jude but the translation consist lot of blunders)
God spoke to Moses inside the fortieth year after the children of Israel
Had come out of the land of Egypt, within the 11th month, on the primary
Day of the month, saying:
‘collect together all the congregation and go as much as Mount Nebo
And stand there, you and Eleazar son of Aaron. Interpret to the
Heads of circle of relatives of the Levites and to all of the clergymen, and proclaim to
The kids of Israel the phrases of the regulation which I proclaimed to you on Mount Sinai. Proclaim cautiously into their ears all that I require of
Them. And get in touch with heaven and earth to witness towards them; for they'll
No longer love what i've commanded them to do, neither they nor their
Kids, all through all the days they shall stay upon the earth.
For I say that they'll abandon Me, and could select the
Abominations of the countries, their horrors and their idols. They may
Serve false gods which will be for them a snare and a pitfall. They
Will sin towards the holy days, and towards the Sabbath and the
Covenant, and in opposition to the commandments which I command you to
Preserve this day.
Therefore i'm able to smite them with a potent blow in the midst of the
Land which they cross the Jordan to possess. And when all the
Curses stumble upon them and seize up with them to destroy them and
Blot them out, then shall they recognise that the fact has been fulfilled with
Regard to them.’
Then Moses known as Eleazar son of Aaron and Joshua son of Nun
And stated to them, ‘speak a lot of these words to the people … :
Be nevertheless, II O Israel, and pay attention! At the moment shall you become the
Human beings of God, your God. You shall maintain My laws and My
Stories and My commandments which I command you to hold
This present day. And whilst you go the Jordan in order that I may also provide you with
Extremely good and suitable towns, and houses filled with all exceptional things, and
Vines and olives which you haven't planted, and wells which you
Have no longer dug, watch out, if you have eaten and are full, that your
Hearts be now not lifted up, and that you do not forget what i have
Commanded you to do this day. For it's miles this with a view to convey you life and
Period of days.’
And Moses spoke to the youngsters of Israel and said to them:
‘Behold, 40 years have surpassed since the day we got here out of
The land of Egypt, and these days has God, our God, uttered those phrases
From out of His mouth: all His precepts and all His precepts.
‘but how shall I bring your hundreds and burdens and disputes alone?
When i've installed the Covenant and commanded the way in
Which you shall walk, rent sensible men whose work it shall be to
Expound to you and your youngsters most of these words of the law. Watch
Carefully for your very own sakes which you preserve them, lest the wrath of
Your God kindle and burn against you, and He stop the heavens above
From losing rain upon you, and the water underneath the earth from
Supplying you with harvest.’
And Moses spoke further to the youngsters of Israel. ‘Behold the
Commandments whichGod has commanded you to hold….
