3:12 Wherefore, the fruit of thy loins shall write; and the fruit of
the loins of Judah shall write; and that which shall be written by the
fruit of thy loins, and also that which shall be written by the fruit
of the loins of Judah, shall grow together, unto the confounding of
false doctrines and laying down of contentions, and establishing peace
among the fruit of thy loins, and bringing them to the knowledge of
their fathers in the latter days, and also to the knowledge of my
covenants, saith the Lord.
3:13 And out of weakness he shall be made strong, in that day when my
work shall commence among all my people, unto the restoring thee, O
house of Israel, saith the Lord.
3:14 And thus prophesied Joseph, saying: Behold, that seer will the
Lord bless; and they that seek to destroy him shall be confounded; for
this promise, which I have obtained of the Lord, of the fruit of my
loins, shall be fulfilled. Behold, I am sure of the fulfilling of this
promise;
3:15 And his name shall be called after me; and it shall be after the
name of his father. And he shall be like unto me; for the thing, which
the Lord shall bring forth by his hand, by the power of the Lord shall
bring my people unto salvation.
3:16 Yea, thus prophesied Joseph: I am sure of this thing, even as I am
sure of the promise of Moses; for the Lord hath said unto me, I will
preserve thy seed forever.
3:17 And the Lord hath said: I will raise up a Moses; and I will give
power unto him in a rod; and I will give judgment unto him in writing.
Yet I will not loose his tongue, that he shall speak much, for I will
not make him mighty in speaking. But I will write unto him my law, by
the finger of mine own hand; and I will make a spokesman for him.
3:18 And the Lord said unto me also: I will raise up unto the fruit of
thy loins; and I will make for him a spokesman. And I, behold, I will
give unto him that he shall write the writing of the fruit of thy
loins, unto the fruit of thy loins; and the spokesman of thy loins
shall declare it.
3:19 And the words which he shall write shall be the words which are
expedient in my wisdom should go forth unto the fruit of thy loins. And
it shall be as if the fruit of thy loins had cried unto them from the
dust; for I know their faith.
3:20 And they shall cry from the dust; yea, even repentance unto their
brethren, even after many generations have gone by them. And it shall
come to pass that their cry shall go, even according to the simpleness
of their words.
3:21 Because of their faith their words shall proceed forth out of my
mouth unto their brethren who are the fruit of thy loins; and the
weakness of their words will I make strong in their faith, unto the
remembering of my covenant which I made unto thy fathers.
3:22 And now, behold, my son Joseph, after this manner did my father of
old prophesy.
3:23 Wherefore, because of this covenant thou art blessed; for thy seed
shall not be destroyed, for they shall hearken unto the words of the
book.
