There shall appear for you a star arising from Jacob in peace

There shall appear for you a star arising from Jacob in peace.  And a man shall come forth who is my heir, like the sun of righteousness, walking amongst the sons of men in gentleness and righteousness, and there will be no sin found in him.  And the heavens will rain down upon him the spirit as a blessing from the Holy One.  And he will pour out the spirit of grace upon you.  This is the shoot of the most high God; the water of life for all humanity.  He will shine his light upon the sceptre of my kingdom, and from your root will arise the shoot, and through it will stem forth the rod of righteousness for the nations, to judge and to save all who call upon the Lord”.
From: The Testament of Judah
