Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs

Gen. xxix. 33 .

That Simeon was prominent in the hostility to Joseph, is perhaps implied by his detention in Egypt as a surety for the return of the others; and Jewish tradition generally accords with this view. Cf. the Targum of the Pseudo-Jonathan on Gen. xxxvii. 19 : “Simeon and Levi, who were brothers in counsel, said one to another, Let us kill him.” Also this same Targum on Gen. xlii. 24 : “And he took from them Simeon, who had counselled to kill him.” Cf. also Breshith Rabba , § 91.

[ Gen. xxxvii. 22, 29; xlii. 22 .]

The Cam. ms. seems wrongly to omit the negative here. The reference is doubtless to Gen. xlix. 7 .

The reference seems to be to the Philistines. Cf. Deut. ii. 23; Amos ix. 7 , where the LXX. reads Καππαδοκία .

[For modern views of these, see Encyc. Brit. , s.v. “Hittites.”]

The construction here is awkward of the participles after ὅτι : possibly a clause may have dropped out after ᾽Αδάμ .
