Asher, the tenth son of Jacob and Zilpah. An explanation of dual personality. The first Jekyll and Hyde story. For a statement of the Law of Compensation that Emerson would have enjoyed, see Verse 27.
The seventh son of Jacob and Bilhah. The jealous one. He counsels against anger saying that "it giveth peculiar vision." This is a notable thesis on anger.
Book of Baruch, ancient text purportedly written by Baruch, secretary and friend of Jeremiah, the Old Testament prophet. The text is still extant in Greek and in several translations from Greek into Latin, Syriac, Coptic, Ethiopic, and other languages. The Book of Baruch is apocryphal to the Hebrew and Protestant canons but was incorporated in the Septuagint and was included in the Old Testament for Roman Catholics. The work is a compilation of several authors and is the only work among the apocrypha that was consciously modeled after the prophetic writings of the Old Testament.

The Gospel of James or The Protevangelion is a second-century infancy gospel telling of the miraculous conception of the Virgin Mary, her upbringing and marriage to Joseph, the journey of the couple to Bethlehem, the birth of Jesus, and events immediately following.
And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. LUKE 1:26-33

2. PENNOD 1
Aser, degfed mab Jacob a Silpa.
Esboniad o bersonoliaeth ddeuol. Stori
gyntaf Jekyll a Hyde. Am ddatganiad
o'r Gyfraith Iawndal y byddai Emerson
wedi'i fwynhau, gweler Adnod 27.
1 Copi y Testament I Aser, y pethau a
lefarodd efe wrth ei feibion, yn y
bymthegfed flwyddyn ar hugain o'i oes.
2 Canys tra oedd efe yn iach, efe a
ddywedodd wrthynt, Chwi feibion Aser,
gwrandewch ar eich tad, a mynegaf i
chwi yr hyn oll sydd uniawn yng
ngolwg yr Arglwydd.
3 Dwy ffordd a roddes Duw i feibion
dynion, a dwy duedd, a dau fath o
weithred, a dau fodd, a dau fater.
4 Am hynny y mae pob peth bob yn
ddau, y naill gyferbyn a'r llall.
5 Canys dwy ffordd sydd rhwng da a
drwg, a chyda'r rhai hyn y mae'r ddwy
duedd yn ein bronnau ni yn eu
gwahaniaethu.
6 Am hynny os bydd yr enaid yn
ymhyfrydu yn y tueddfryd da, mewn
cyfiawnder y mae ei holl weithredoedd;
ac os pechu y mae yn edifarhau ar
unwaith.
7 Canys, gan osod ei feddyliau ar
gyfiawnder, a bwrw ymaith ddrygioni,
yn ebrwydd y mae yn dymchwelyd y
drwg, ac yn diwreiddio pechod.
8 Ond os tuedda efe at y drwg, y mae ei
holl weithredoedd mewn drygioni, ac y
mae yn gyrru ymaith y da, ac yn glynu
wrth y drwg, ac yn cael ei lywodraethu
gan Beliar; er ei fod yn gweithio yr hyn
sydd dda, y mae yn ei droi i ddrwg.
9 Canys pa bryd bynnag y byddo yn
dechreu gwneuthur daioni, y mae efe
yn gorfodi mater y weithred i ddrwg
iddo, gan weled fod trysor y tueddfryd
wedi ei lenwi ag ysbryd drwg.
10 Yna fe all rhywun â geiriau
gynorthwyo'r da er mwyn y drwg, ond
y mae mater y weithred yn arwain at
ddrygioni.
11 Y mae dyn ni thosturia wrth yr hwn
a wasanaetho ei dro mewn drygioni; ac
y mae y peth hwn yn bathu dwy wedd,
ond y cyfan sydd ddrwg.
12 Ac y mae dyn yn caru yr hwn sydd
yn gwneuthur drwg, am y byddai yn
well ganddo farw mewn drygioni er ei
fwyn ef; ac am hyn y mae yn amlwg ei
fod yn bathu dwy wedd, ond y mae y
cyfan yn waith drwg.
13 Er bod ganddo gariad, er hynny
drygionus yw'r un sy'n cuddio'r hyn
sydd ddrwg er mwyn yr enw da, ond y
mae diwedd y weithred yn tueddu at
ddrwg.
14 Un arall sydd yn dwyn, yn
gwneuthur yn anghyfiawn, yn ysbeilio,
yn twyllo, ac yn tosturio wrth y tlawd;
15 Yr hwn sydd yn twyllo ei gymydog,
sydd yn cythruddo Duw, ac yn tyngu
celwydd yn erbyn y Goruchaf, ac eto yn
tosturio wrth y tlawd: yr Arglwydd yr
hwn a orchmynnodd y gyfraith, sydd yn
3. anrheithio ac yn cythruddo, ac eto y
mae efe yn diddanu'r tlawd.
16 Efe sydd yn halogi yr enaid, ac yn
gwneuthur y corph yn hoyw; y mae yn
lladd llawer, ac yn tosturio wrth
ychydig : y mae hwn hefyd yn
ymdrochi yn ddeublyg, ond y mae y
cwbl yn ddrwg.
17 Un arall yn godinebu a godineb, ac
yn ymatal rhag ymborth, a phan
ymprydio efe a wna ddrwg, a thrwy
nerth ei gyfoeth ef y mae yn llethu
llawer; ac er ei ormodol ddrygioni y
mae efe yn gwneuthur y gorchymynion :
y mae i hwn hefyd agwedd ddeublyg,
ond y cwbl sydd ddrwg.
18 Y rhai hyn ydynt ysgyfarnogod;
glân,--fel y rhai sy'n hollti'r carn, ond
mewn gweithred iawn sydd aflan.
19 Canys Duw yn llechau y
gorchymynion a fynegodd fel hyn.
20 Ond na wisgwch chwithau, fy
mhlant, ddau wyneb cyffelyb iddynt, o
ddaioni ac o annuwioldeb; ond
glynwch wrth ddaioni yn unig, canys y
mae Duw yn preswylio ynddo, ac y mae
dynion yn ei ddymuno.
21 Ond ffo oddi wrth ddrygioni, gan
ddinistrio'r duedd ddrwg trwy dy
weithredoedd da; canys y rhai deublyg,
nid ydynt yn gwasanaethu Duw, ond eu
chwantau eu hunain, fel y rhyngont
fodd Beliar a dynion cyffelyb iddynt eu
hunain.
22 Canys dynion da, hyd yn oed y rhai
sy'n un wyneb, er eu bod yn cael eu
hystyried gan y rhai dwy wyneb i
bechod, sydd gyfiawn gerbron Duw.
23 Canys llawer wrth ladd yr annuwiol
a wnant ddau weithred, o dda a drwg;
ond da yw y cyfan, am iddo
ddadwreiddio a distrywio yr hyn sydd
ddrwg.
24 Y mae un yn casau y trugarog a'r
anghyfiawn, a'r gŵr sy'n godinebu ac
yn ymprydio: y mae i hwn hefyd
agwedd ddeublyg, ond da yw'r holl
waith, am ei fod yn dilyn siampl yr
Arglwydd, am nad yw'n derbyn y
daioni ymddangosiadol. fel y gwir dda.
25 Nid yw un arall yn dymuno gweld
dydd da gyda'r rhai nad ydynt, rhag
halogi ei gorff a llygru ei enaid; mae
hwn, hefyd, yn wyneb dwbl, ond mae'r
cyfan yn dda.
26 Canys cyffelyb yw y rhai hyn i hydd
ac i ewig, am eu bod yn ymddangos yn
aflan yn null anifeiliaid gwylltion, ond
yn gwbl lân; oherwydd eu bod yn
rhodio mewn sêl dros yr Arglwydd ac
yn ymatal oddi wrth yr hyn hefyd y mae
Duw yn ei gasáu ac yn gwahardd trwy
ei orchmynion, gan gadw'r drwg oddi
wrth y da.
27 Chwi a welwch, fy mhlant, fod dau
ym mhob peth, y naill yn erbyn y llall,
a'r naill yn guddiedig gan y llall: mewn
cyfoeth y mae trachwant cudd, mewn
didwylledd, meddwdod, mewn galar
chwerthin, mewn afradlonedd priodas.
28 Y mae angau yn llwyddo i fywyd, yn
amarch i ogoniant, nos i ddydd, a
thywyllwch i oleuni; ac y mae pob peth
4. dan y dydd, pethau cyfiawn dan fywyd,
pethau anghyfiawn dan angau ; am
hynny hefyd y mae bywyd tragywyddol
yn aros angau.
29 Ac ni ellir dywedyd ychwaith mai
celwydd yw gwirionedd, nac uniawn
gam; canys y mae pob gwirionedd dan
y goleuni, megis y mae pob peth dan
Dduw.
30 Yr holl bethau hyn, gan hynny, a
brofais yn fy mywyd, ac ni chrwydrais
oddi wrth wirionedd yr Arglwydd, a
chwiliais allan orchmynion y Goruchaf,
gan rodio yn ôl fy holl nerth ag undod
wyneb at yr hyn sydd dda. .
31 Gwyliwch gan hynny, fy mhlant, i
orchmynion yr Arglwydd, gan ddilyn y
gwirionedd mewn unplygrwydd wyneb.
32 Canys y rhai deu∣blyg sydd euog o
bechod deublyg; oherwydd y maent ill
dau yn gwneud y peth drwg, ac yn cael
pleser yn y rhai sy'n ei wneud, gan
ddilyn esiampl ysbrydion twyll, ac
ymdrechu yn erbyn dynolryw.
33 A wnewch chwi, gan hynny, fy
mhlant, gadw cyfraith yr Arglwydd , ac
na ofalwch ar ddrwg megis ar dda; eithr
edrych ar y peth sydd wir dda, a chadw
ef yn holl orchmynion yr Arglwydd,
gan ymddiddan â hwynt, a gorffwyso
ynddo.
34 Canys diwedd dynion a ddengys eu
cyfiawnder neu eu hanghyfiawnder,
pan gyfarfyddont ag angylion yr
Arglwydd a Satan.
35 oherwydd pan fydd yr enaid yn
mynd allan yn gythryblus, fe'i poenydir
gan yr ysbryd drwg a wasanaethodd
mewn chwantau a gweithredoedd drwg.
36 Ond os heddychol a llawenydd y
mae efe yn cyfarfod ag angel y
tangnefedd, ac yn ei arwain i fywyd
tragwyddol.
37 Na ddowch, fy mhlant i, fel Sodom,
y rhai a bechodd yn erbyn angylion yr
Arglwydd , ac a ddifethwyd yn
dragywydd.
38 Canys mi a wn y pechu, a'ch
traddodi yn nwylo'ch gelynion; a'ch tir
a wneir yn anghyfannedd, a'ch lleoedd
sanctaidd a ddifethir, a chwi a wasgerir
hyd bedair congl y ddaear.
39 A chwi a'ch gosodir yn fyr yn y
gwasgariad, gan ddiflannu fel dwfr.
40 Hyd oni ymweled y Goruchaf â'r
ddaear, gan ddyfod ei Hun yn ddyn,
gyd â dynion yn bwyta ac yn yfed, ac
yn torri pen y ddraig yn y dwfr.
41 Efe a achub Israel a'r holl
Genhedloedd, Duw yn llefaru ym
mherson dyn.
42 Am hynny yr ydych chwithau hefyd,
fy mhlant, yn dywedyd y pethau hyn
i'ch plant, fel nad ydynt yn anufudd
iddo.
43 Canys myfi a wyddwn y byddwch
yn ddiau yn anufudd, ac yn sicr yn
ymddwyn yn annuwiol, nid yn rhoi
sylw i gyfraith Duw, ond i orchmynion
5. dynion, gan gael eich llygru trwy
ddrygioni.
44 Am hynny y gwasgerir chwi fel Gad
a Dan fy mrodyr, ac nid adwaenoch
eich tiroedd, eich llwyth, a'ch tafod.
45 Ond bydd yr Arglwydd yn eich
casglu ynghyd mewn ffydd trwy ei
dyner drugaredd, ac er mwyn Abraham,
Isaac, a Jacob.
46 Ac wedi iddo ddywedyd y pethau
hyn wrthynt, efe a orchmynnodd iddynt,
gan ddywedyd, Claddwch fi yn Hebron.
47 Ac efe a hunodd, ac a fu farw mewn
henaint da.
48 A'i feibion a wnaethant fel y
gorchmynasai efe iddynt, a hwy a'i
dygasant ef i fynu i Hebron, ac a'i
claddasant ef gyd â'i dadau.
