AND in the ninety third year died Leviy, the son of Ya`aqov, in Mitsrayim, and Leviy was a hundred and thirty seven years old when he died, and they put him into a coffin and he was given into the hands of his children.
And it came to pass after the death of Leviy, when all Mitsrayim saw that the sons of Ya`aqov the brethren of Yoceph were dead, all the Mitsriym began to afflict the children of Ya`aqov, and to embitter their lives from that day unto the day of their going forth from Mitsrayim, and they took from their hands all the vineyards and fields which Yoceph had given unto them, and all the elegant houses in which the people of Yashar'el lived, and all the fat of Mitsrayim, the Mitsriym took all from the sons of Ya`aqov in those days.
And the hand of all Mitsrayim became more grievous in those days against the children of Yashar'el, and the Mitsriym injured Yashar'el until the children of Yashar'el were wearied of their lives on account of the Mitsriym.
And it came to pass in those days, in the hundred and second year of Yashar'el's going down to Mitsrayim, that Phar'oh king of Mitsrayim died, and Melol his son reigned in his stead, and all the mighty men of Mitsrayim and all that generation which knew Yoceph and his brethren died in those days.
And another generation rose up in their stead, which had not known the sons of Ya`aqov and all the good which they had done to them, and all their might in Mitsrayim.
Therefore all Mitsrayim began from that day forth to embitter the lives of the sons of Ya`aqov, and to afflict them with all manner of hard labor, because they had not known their ancestors who had delivered them in the days of the famine.
And this was also from Yahuah, for the children of Yashar'el, to benefit them in their latter days, in order that all the children of Yashar'el might know Yahuah Elohayhem.
And in order to know the signs and mighty wonders which Yahuah would do in Mitsrayim on account of his people Yashar'el, in order that the children of Yashar'el might fear Yahuah Elohiym of their ancestors, and walk in all his ways, they and their seed after them all the days.
Melol was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned ninety four years, and all Mitsrayim called his name Phar'oh after the name of his father, as it was their custom to do to every king who reigned over them in Mitsrayim.
At that time all the troops of Angeas king of Africa went forth to spread along the land of Kittiym as usual for plunder.
And Tsepho the son of Eliyphaz the son of Esau heard their report, and he went forth to meet them with his army, and he fought them there in the road.
And Tsepho smote the troops of the king of Africa with the edge of the sword, and left none remaining of them, and not even one returned to his adoniy in Africa.
And Angeas heard of this which Tsepho the son of Eliyphaz had done to all his troops, that he had destroyed them, and Angeas assembled all his troops, all the men of the land of Africa, a people numerous like the sand by the sea shore.
And Angeas sent to Luqas his brother, saying, Come to me with all your men and help me to smite Tsepho and all the children of Kittiym who have destroyed my men, and Luqas came with his whole army, a very great force, to assist Angeas his brother to fight with Tsepho and the children of Kittiym.
And Tsepho and the children of Kittiym heard this thing, and they were greatly afraid and a great terror fell upon their hearts.
And Tsepho also sent a cepher to the land of Edom to Hadad the son of Bedad king of Edom and to all the children of Esau, saying,
I have heard that Angeas king of Africa is coming to us with his brother for battle against us, and we are greatly afraid of him, for his army is very great, particularly as he comes against us with his brother and his army likewise.
Now therefore come you also up with me and help me, and we will fight together against Angeas and his brother Luqas, and you will save us out of their hands, but if not, know ye that we shall all die.
And the children of Esau sent a cepher to the children of Kittiym and to Tsepho their king, saying, We cannot fight against Angeas and his people for a covenant of peace has been between us these many years, from the days of Bela the first king, and from the days of Yoceph the son of Ya`aqov king of Mitsrayim, with whom we fought on the other side of the Yardan when he buried his father.
And when Tsepho heard the words of his brethren the children of Esau he refrained from them, and Tsepho was greatly afraid of Angeas.
And Angeas and Luqas his brother arrayed all their forces, about eight hundred thousand men, against the children of Kittiym.
And all the children of Kittiym said unto Tsepho, Pray for us to the Elohiym of your ancestors, perchance he may deliver us from the hand of Angeas and his army, for we have heard that he is a great Elohiym and that he delivers all who trust in him.
And Tsepho heard their words, and Tsepho sought Yahuah and he said,
O Yahuah Elohiym of Avraham and Yitschaq my ancestors, this day I know that you are the true Elohiym, and all the elohiym of the nations are vain and useless.
Remember now this day unto me your covenant with Avraham our father, which our ancestors related unto us, and do graciously with me this day for the sake of Avraham and Yitschaq our fathers, and save me and the children of Kittiym from the hand of the king of Africa who comes against us for battle.
And Yahuah hearkened to the voice of Tsepho, and he had regard for him on account of Avraham and Yitschaq, and Yahuah delivered Tsepho and the children of Kittiym from the hand of Angeas and his people.
And Tsepho fought Angeas king of Africa and all his people on that day, and Yahuah gave all the people of Angeas into the hands of the children of Kittiym.
And the battle was severe upon Angeas, and Tsepho smote all the men of Angeas and Luqas his brother, with the edge of the sword, and there fell from them unto the evening of that day about four hundred thousand men.
And when Angeas saw that all his men perished, he sent a cepher to all the inhabitants of Africa to come to him, to assist him in the battle, and he wrote in the cepher, saying, All who are found in Africa let them come unto me from ten years old and upward; let them all come unto me, and behold if he comes not he shall die, and all that he has, with his whole household, the king will take.
And all the rest of the inhabitants of Africa were terrified at the words of Angeas, and there went out of the city about three hundred thousand men and boys, from ten years upward, and they came to Angeas.
And at the end of ten days Angeas renewed the battle against Tsepho and the children of Kittiym, and the battle was very great and strong between them.
And from the army of Angeas and Luqas, Tsepho sent many of the wounded unto his land, about two thousand men, and Sosiphtar the captain of the host of Angeas fell in that battle.
And when Sosiphtar had fallen, the African troops turned their backs to flee, and they fled, and Angeas and Luqas his brother were with them.
And Tsepho and the children of Kittiym pursued them, and they smote them still heavily on the road, about two hundred men, and they pursued Azdrubal the son of Angeas who had fled with his father, and they smote twenty of his men in the road, and Azdrubal escaped from the children of Kittiym, and they did not slay him.
And Angeas and Luqas his brother fled with the rest of their men, and they escaped and came into Africa with terror and consternation, and Angeas feared all the days lest Tsepho the son of Eliyphaz should go to war with him.
