Fragment 1 Column 1 (1) . . . and God of Gods for all Eternity. And He will shine as a Light upon you
and He will make known to you His great Name (2) and you will know Him, that He is the Eternal
God and Lord of all creation, and sovereign (3) over all things, governing them according to His will.
And He will give you joy and your sons rejoicing for generations of (4) the Truth, forever. And now,
my sons, be watchful of your inheritance that has been bequeathed to you, (5) which your fathers gave
you. Do not give your inheritance to foreigners, nor your heritage to (6) violent men, lest you be
regarded as humiliated in their eyes, and foolish, and they trample upon you, for (7) they will come to
dwell among you and become your masters. Therefore, hold fast to the word of Jacob (8) your father,
and be strong in the judgements of Abraham, and in the Righteousness of Levi and myself. Be Holy
and pure (9) from all vacat entirely, and hold to the Truth, walking uprightly without Deceitfulness,
(10) but rather with a pure heart and in a True and Good Spirit. Thus you will grant to me a good
name among you, together with joy (11) for Levi and happiness for J[a]cob, rejoicing for Isaac and
blessing for Abraham, inasmuch as you guarded (12) and walked (in) the inheri[tance. My solos, your
fathers bequeathed to you Truth, Righteousness, Uprightness, (13) integrity, pur[ity, Holiness and the
priesthood. In accordance with what you have been commanded, and according to all that
Fragment 1 Column 2 (1) I have taught you in Truth, from now and for al[1 Eternity . . . (2) the words
of the Truthful saying. There will come upon yo[u . . . (3) eternal blessings shall rest upon you. And
there shall b[e . . . (4) enduring to all the generations of Eternity. And no longer shall you . . . (5) from
your Foundation, and you shall endure to pronounce judgements . . . (6) to reveal the sin of all the
eternal sinners . . . (7) and the Wicked and in the depths of the sea and in all the hollows of the earth . .
. (8) in [gener]ations of Truth, while all the sons of Evi[l] will pass away . . . (9) And now, you,
Amram, my son, I appoi[nt . . . (10) and [to] your [son]s and to their sons I appoint . . . (11) and they
bequeathed it to Levi my father, and Levi my father [bequeathed it] to me . . . (12) and all my books
as a testimony, that you take heed of them . . . (13) Great merit [will come] to you from them as they
accompany you in your affairs.
