And in the first year of the first week of the forty-second jubilee, Abraham returned and dwelt opposite Hebron, that is Kiriath-arba, two weeks of years.
And in the first year of the †third‡ week of this jubilee the days of the life of Sarah were accomplished, and she died in Hebron.
19:3
ወሖረ ፡ አብርሃም ፡ ከመ ፡ ይብኪያ ፡ ወይቅብራ ።
亞伯拉罕前去為她哀哭,並安葬她。
And Abraham went to mourn over her and bury her, and we tried him [to see ] if his spirit were patient and he were not indignant in the words of his mouth; and he was found patient in this, and was not disturbed.
And the Lord gave him grace before all who saw him, and he besought in gentleness the sons of Heth, and they gave him the land of the double cave 3 over against Manre, that is Hebron, for four hundred pieces of silver.
And they besought him, saying, "We shall give it to thee for nothing "; but he would not take it from their hands for nothing, for he gave the price of the place, the money in full, and he bowed down before them twice; and after this he buried his dead in the double cave.
And all the days of the life of Sarah were one hundred and twenty-seven years, that is, two jubilees and four weeks and one year; these are the days of the years of the life of Sarah.
And in the fourth year thereof he took a wife for his son Isaac and her name was Rebecca [the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor, the brother of Abraham ] 2 the sister of Laban and daughter of Bethuel; and Bethuel was the son of Melcâ, who was the wife of Nahor, the brother of Abraham.
And Abraham took to himself a third wife, and her name was Keturah, from among the daughters of his household servants, for Hagar had died before Sarah.
And in the sixth week, in the second year thereof, Rebecca bare to Isaac two sons, Jacob and Esau, and Jacob was a smooth and upright man, and Esau was fierce, a man of the field, and hairy, and Jacob dwelt in tents.
And Abraham saw the deeds of Esau, and he knew that in Jacob should his name and seed be called; and he called Rebecca and gave commandment regarding Jacob, for he knew that she (too) loved Jacob much more than Esau.
And he said unto her: "My daughter, watch over my son Jacob, For he shall be in my stead on the earth, And for a blessing in the midst of the children of men, And for the glory of the whole seed of Shem. [paragraph continues ]
Let thy hands be strong And let thy heart rejoice in thy son Jacob; For I have loved him far beyond all my sons. He will be blessed for ever, And his seed will fill the whole earth.
And may the Lord God be a father to thee and thou the first-born son, and to the people alway. Go in peace, my son. " 30 . And they both went forth together from Abraham.
And the two of them went out together from Abraham. And Rebecca loved Jacob with all her heart and with all her soul, much more than Esau; but Isaac loved Esau much more than Jacob.
