Assumption of Moses 9:1-7
1Then in that day there shall be a man of the tribe of Levi, whose name shall be Taxo, who, having seven sons, shall speak to them, exhorting them:
2Observe, my sons, behold, a second ruthless and unclean visitation has come upon the people, and a punishment merciless and far exceeding the first.
3For what nation or what region or what people of those who are impious toward the Lord, who have committed many abominations, have suffered as great calamities as have befallen us?
4Now therefore, my sons, hear me: for observe and know that neither our fathers nor their forefathers tempted God by transgressing his commands.
5And you know that this is our strength, and this is what we will do. Let us fast for the space of three days, and on the fourth let us go into a cave which is in the field, and let us die rather than transgress the commands of the Lord of lords, the God of our fathers.
6For if we do this and die, our blood shall be avenged before the Lord.
7And then his kingdom shall appear throughout all his creation, and then Satan shall be no more, and sorrow shall depart with him.
