Pseudepigrapha — not canonical

1(26.1) Seeing this, I was disturbed and fear seized me and I worshipped before God above the face of the earth.

2(26.2) Then God said to me: 'Behold, you shall die because you transgressed the commandment of God, because you harkened more to the voice of your wife whom I gave over to your control that you might have her in your will. You listen to your her and transgressed my words.'
