Testament of Joseph 19

¹Hear ye, therefore, me vision which I saw. ²I saw twelve harts feeding. And nine of them were dispersed. ³Now the three were preserved, but on the following day they also were dispersed. And I saw that the three harts became three lambs, and they cried to the Lord, and He brought them forth into a flourishing and well watered place, yea He brought them out of darkness into light. ⁴And there they cried unto the Lord until there gathered together unto them the nine harts, and they became as twelve sheep, and after a little time they increased and became many flocks. ⁵And after these things I saw and behold, twelve bulls were sucking one cow, which produced a sea of milk, and there drank thereof the twelve flocks and innumerable herds. ⁶And the horns of the fourth bull went up unto heaven and became as a wall for the flocks, and in the midst of the two horns there grew another horn. ⁷And I saw a bull calf which surrounded them twelve times, and it became a help to the bulls wholly. ⁸And these things must come to pass in their season. ⁹Do ye therefore, my children, observe the commandments of the Lord, and honour Levi and Judah; for from them shall arise unto you one who saveth [all the Gentiles and] Israel. ¹⁰For His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, which shall not pass away; ¹¹but my kingdom among you shall come to an end as a watcher's hammock, which after the summer disappeareth.
