1And again, after seven days, I saw our father Jacob standing by the sea of Jamnia, and we were with him.

2And behold, there came a ship sailing by, without sailors or pilot; and there was written upon the ship, The Ship of Jacob.

3And our father said to us: Come, let us embark on our ship.

4And when he had gone on board, there arose a vehement storm, and a mighty tempest of wind; and our father, who was holding the helm, departed from us.

5And we, being tossed with the tempest, were borne along over the sea; and the ship was filled with water, (and was) pounded by mighty waves, until it was broken up.

6And Joseph fled away upon a little boat, and we were all divided upon nine planks, and Levi and Judah were together.

7And we were all scattered unto the ends of the earth.

8Then Levi, girt about with sackcloth, prayed for us all unto the Lord.

9And when the storm ceased, the ship reached the land as it were in peace.

10And, our father came, and we all rejoiced with one accord.
