1Now when Joseph was in Egypt, I longed to see his figure and the form of his countenance;
2and through the prayers of Jacob my father I saw him, while a wake in the daytime, even his entire figure exactly as he was.
3And when he had said these things, he said unto them: Know ye, therefore, my children, that I am dying.
4Do ye, therefore, truth and righteousness each one to his neighbour, and judgement unto confirmation, and keep the law of the Lord and his commandments.
5For these things do I leave you instead of inheritance. Do ye also, therefore, give them to your children for an everlasting possession; for so did both Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob.
6For all these things they gave us for an inheritance, saying: Keep the commandments of God, until the Lord shall reveal His salvation to all Gentiles.
7And then shall ye see Enoch, Noah, and Shem, and Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, rising on the right hand in gladness....
8Then shall we also rise, each one over our tribe, worshipping the King of heaven.
9Then also all men shall rise, some unto glory and some unto shame.
10If ye therefore, my children, walk in holiness according to the commandments of the Lord, ye shall again dwell securely with me, and all Israel shall be gathered unto the Lord.
