The Assumption of Moses

also known as The Testament of Moses
Book • 2017
The Assumption of Moses is a 1st-century Jewish apocryphal text structured as Moses' testament to Joshua, providing a brief history of Israel from Moses to Herod and foretelling future tribulations, wicked rulers, and divine intervention.

It survives in a 6th-century Latin manuscript, originally composed in Hebrew or Aramaic, and critiques the priesthood while emphasizing Moses as mediator and apocalyptic determinism.

R. H. Charles edited and translated it from the Latin in 1897, arguing it combines a Testament and an Ascension of Moses.
