7/11 • Testament of Jacob
An angel tells Jacob to prepare his household before death. His final instructions, his reunion with Joseph, and his burial become part of a narrative concerned with family, remembrance, and the life to come. Preserved here in a Coptic Christian form, the work's composition date is uncertain. Spirit Nation has Stephen Gaselee's 1927 English translation. Read it alongside the Testaments of Isaac and Abraham to see how each patriarch's final days receive a different emphasis.
