An
even more
significant parallel to
Yehoshua's
"beatitudes"
and
"woes"
occurs in Jewish writings that are not Essene,
but belong to the fringe of the Essene movement.

These are the so-called
Testaments of the Patriarchs
that we possess in a Christian recension. It is easy, however, to detect the Jewish
provenance of these writings. The work is presented in the form of the valedictory speeches
of the twelve sons of Ya'acov, Yehudah speaks
about salvation
at the end
of time:

AND THERE WILL BE
ONE PEOPLE OF THE LORD
AND ONE LANGUAGE;
AND THERE WILL BE NO SPIRIT OF ERROR OF BELIAR ANYMORE,
FOR HE WILL BE THROWN IN THE FIRE FOREVER. AND THOSE WHO HAVE DIED IN GRIEF
WILL RISE AGAIN IN JOY. AND THOSE
WHO ARE IN PENURY
"FOR THE LORD'S SAKE"
WILL BE MADE RICH,
AND THOSE WHO ARE IN WANT
WILL EAT THEIR FILL,
AND THOSE
WHO ARE WEAK
RECEIVE THEIR STRENGTH,
AND THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN PUT TO DEATH FOR THE LORD'S SAKE
WILL AWAKE
TO LIFE!

AND
THE HEARTS
OF YA'ACOV WILL
RUN WITH GLADNESS,
AND THE EAGLES OF ISRAEL
WILL FLY WITH JOY [BUT THE UNGODLY
WILL MOURN AND SINNERS WEEP],
AND ALL THE PEOPLES
WILL GLORIFY
THE LORD
FOREVER
