Abraham: The Covenant

And they called her, and when she was come, they asked: Wilt thou go with this man? She said: I will go.

So they sent her away, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his company.

Wishing prosperity to their sister, and saying: Thou art our sister, mayst thou increase to thousands of thousands; and may thy seed possess the gates of their enemies.

So Rebecca and her maids, being set upon camels, followed the man: who with speed returned to his master.

At the same time, Isaac was walking along the way to the well which is called Of the living and the seeing: for he dwelt in the south country:

And he was gone forth to meditate in the field, the day being now well spent: and when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming afar off.

Rebecca also, when she saw Isaac, lighted off the camel,

And said to the servant: Who is that man who cometh towards us along the field? And he said to her: That man is my master. But she quickly took her cloak, and covered herself.

And the servant told Isaac all that he had done.

Who brought her into the tent of Sara his mother, and took her to wife: and he loved her so much, that it moderated the sorrow which was occasioned by his mother's death.

And Abraham married another wife named Cetura:

Who bore him Zamram, and Jecsan, and Madan, and Madian, and Jesboc, and Sue.

Jecsan also begot Saba, and Dadan. The children of Dadan were Assurim, and Latusim, and Loomim.

But of Madian was born Epha, and Opher, and Henoch, and Abida, and Eldaa: all these were the children of Cetura.

And Abraham gave all his possessions to Isaac:

And to the children of the concubines he gave gifts, and separated them from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, to the east country.

And the days of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five years.

And decaying he died in a good old age, and having lived a long time, and being full of days: and was gathered to his people.

And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, which was situated in the field of Ephron the son of Seor the Hethite, over against Mambre,

Which he had bought of the children of Heth: there was he buried, and Sara his wife.

And after his death, God blessed Isaac his son, who dwelt by the well named Of the living and seeing.

These are the generations of Ismael the son of Abraham, whom Agar the Egyptian, Sara's servant, bore unto him:

And these are the names of his children according to their calling and generations. The firstborn of Ismael was Nabajoth, then Cedar, and Adbeel, and Mabsam,

And Masma, and Duma, and Massa,

Hadar, and Thema, and Jethur, and Naphis, and Cedma.
