Testaments of the

Sons of Ya'aqob

The Testaments of the Sons of Ya’aqob stand as a treasured record of the final words, admonitions, and barakah (blessings) spoken by the twelve patriarchs of Yashar’al. Each testament reveals the character, struggles, and legacy of the sons of Ya’aqob, offering both historical remembrance and timeless instruction. These writings do not merely recount personal reflections—they call future generations to heed the covenant, to walk in righteousness, and to guard themselves from corruption.

Through their words, we see the endurance of belief in times of trial, the weight of accountability for sin, and the promise of restoration through obedience to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. The testaments carry warnings against envy, hatred, idolatry, and impurity, while affirming the power of unity, truth, love, and steadfastness. They reveal not only the destinies of the tribes but also the paths each son desired for his descendants.

This collection preserves the voices of fathers who, in their last moments, sought to guide their children—and all Yashar’al—toward covenant loyalty. Their words remain alive today, echoing across generations as a call to consecration, wisdom, and the fear of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
