Noah took with him into the Ark the books of these teachings. When he came out of the Ark he ordained in his turn that the generations that came after him were to repeat the many things and the holy mysteries written in the books of Seth upon the majesty of the Father.

19. PATRIARCHAL BLESSINGS:
SCHONFIELD, pp 70-91, in part makes references to the various Patriarchal Blessings given to the twelve sons of Jacob, fragments of which are found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and notes for his purposes, that one given to Benjamin TEST BEN, iii includes: "And he embraced him, and kissed him for two hours, saying: "In thee shall be fulfilled the prophecy of heaven, which says that the blameless one shall be defiled for lawless men, and the sinless one shall die for godless men." Begins tracing out traditions of a Joseph Personality who would be filled with the Holy Ghost in his youth, restore God's favor to the Jews, restore priesthood, be killed by lawless men, perhaps with others, or another, and his blood would cry for vengeance from the ground. There is much more to this that needs development, because in the various documents he would be the forerunner of the coming Messiah, suffer death, he would be of Ephraim and his name would be Joseph.
