6 1I was the first to make a boat to sail upon the sea, for the Lord gave me understanding and wisdom therein. 2And I let down a rudder behind it, and I stretched a sail upon another upright piece of wood in the midst. 3And I sailed therein along the shores, catching fish for the house of my father until we came to Egypt. 4[And through compassion I shared my catch with every stranger. 5And if a man were a stranger, or sick, or aged, I boiled the fish, and dressed them well, and offered them to all men, as every man had need, grieving with and having compassion upon them. 6Wherefore also the Lord satisfied me with abundance of fish when catching fish; for he that shareth with his neighbour receiveth manifold more from the Lord.] 7For five years I caught fish [and gave thereof to every man whom I saw, and sufficed for all the house of my father]. 8And in the summer I caught fish, and in the winter I kept sheep with my brethren.
