Testament of Judah

Judah, the fourth son of Jacob and Leah. He is the giant, athlete, warrior; he recounts heroic deeds. He runs so fast that he can outstrip a hind.

Judah describes some archeological findings, a city with walls of Iron and gates of brass. He has an encounter with an adventuress.

He counsels against wine and lust as twin evils. "For he who is drunken reverenceth no man." (Verse 13).

Judah makes a vivid simile concerning tyranny and a dire prophecy concerning the morals of his listeners.
