Welcome to this week's Exclusive Insider Update! Today we're going to look inside the Sitrei Torah at the ancient writing of AYDUTH SHENAYIYM ASAR ABATHIY (The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs, also included in Bere'shiyth). This account provides an inside look into the final moments of the lives of the twelve sons of Ya'aqov.
In the chapter titled AYD RE'UVEN (The Firstborn Son Of Ya'aqov and Le'ah), we are immediately compelled by the love Re'uven had for his children, as well as how bereaved he was over his sin: "And behold I call to witness against you this day the ELOHIYM of heaven, that ye walk not in the sins of youth and fornication, wherein I was poured out, and defiled the bed of my father Ya'aqov... had not my father Ya'aqov prayed for me to YAHUAH, YAHUAH would have destroyed me."
The scripture goes on to express Re'uven's heartfelt repentance, fasting from strong drink, flesh, and savory food in mourning over sin that "was great, such as had not been seen in Yashar'el."
This cepher includes many valuable nuggets, including a second witness to the Cepher of Chanok describing how Yahudah (Judah) took a bear by it's paw and hurled it down a cliff! Rich history is chronicled and invaluable wisdom is set forth in the final words of the patriarchs of the twelve tribes of Yashar'el.
