4. Remember, my child, that she has seen many dangers for you, when you were in her womb. When she is dead, bury her by me in one grave.
5. My child, be mindful of the Lord our God all your days, and let not your will be set to sin and to transgress his commandments: do righteousness all the days of your life, and follow not the ways of unrighteousness.
6. For if you do the truth, your doings shall prosperously succeed to you, and to all them that do righteousness.
7. Give alms of your substance; and when you give alms, let not your eye be envious: turn not away your face from any poor man, and the face of God shall not be turned away from you.
8. As your substance is, give alms of it according to your abundance: if you have little, be not afraid to give alms according to that little:
9. for you lay up a good treasure for yourself against the day of necessity:
10. because alms delivers from death, and suffers not to come into darkness.
11. Alms is a good gift in the sight of the Most High for all that give it.
12. Beware, my child, of all whoredom, and take first a wife of the seed of your fathers, and take not a strange wife, which is not of your father’s tribe: for we are the sons of the prophets. Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, our fathers of old time, remember, my child, that they all took wives of their brethren, and were blessed in their children, and their seed shall inherit the land.
13. And now, my child, love your brethren, and scorn not in your heart your brethren, and the sons and the daughters of your people, to take a wife of them: for in scornfulness is destruction and much trouble, and in naughtiness is decay and great lack: for naughtiness is the mother of famine.
