16. Abraham was seventy-five years old when God commanded him to leave Harr\u0101n, the land of his father, and to live in the land of Kan\u2018\u0101n, i.e. Syria.\u00a0 Abraham took with him his wife Sarah, who was his sister on his father’s side, because T\u0101rih, father of Abraham, after Y\u016bn\u0101 (81), the mother of Abraham, died, married another woman named Tuhwayt, who gave him Sarah, whom Abraham then married. Therefore Abraham used to say: “She is my sister, my father’s daughter, but she is not my mother’s daughter” (82).\u00a0 He also took with him L\u016bt, son of his brother, and left for the land of “al-Man\u0101riyy\u012bh al-\u2018 Am\u016briyyah “. (= Amorites).\u00a0 Here everyone was against him and they took L\u016bt captive.\u00a0 Abraham followed their tracks and freed L\u016bt from their hands.<\/p>\n

When he returned, he crossed the Jebusite mountains and met Malsh\u012bs\u0101d\u0101q, called the king of peace, a priest of God Most High.\u00a0 When Abraham saw him from afar, he fell upon his feet, embraced him and kissed him, asking him to bless him.\u00a0 Malsh\u012bs\u0101d\u0101q blessed him and offered him bread and wine.\u00a0 Abraham gave Malsh\u012bs\u0101d\u0101q a tithe of all he had.\u00a0 God then revealed to Abraham, “From now on you will be greater, because I will bless you and multiply your seed.” When the kings knew of this, and heard of Malsh\u012bs\u0101d\u0101q they came to him.\u00a0 Among them were Ab\u012bm\u0101likh, king of \u011eadar, Marq\u0101l, king of Zaghar, Ary\u016bsh, king of Zidstar, Gard\u0101`umir, king of \u2018Il\u0101n, Targhal\u012b, king of Zaghl\u0101y, B\u0101\u2018\u0101z, king of Gh\u012bl\u0101th, Y\u0101\u2018iz , king of Sad\u016bm, Birsh\u0101`, king of ‘\u0100m\u016br\u0101, Sib\u0101th, king of Ad\u016bm, Banb\u016b, king of Dimashq, Baqtar, king of ar-Rabba, and Sim`\u0101n, king of the Am\u016briyy\u012bn.\u00a0 These twelve kings went to Malsh\u012bs\u0101d\u0101q, called the king of peace, and when they saw him and heard his words, they asked him to go with them, but he replied, “I can’t leave this place.”\u00a0 Then they consulted and decided to build him a city, saying, “Verily, this is the king of all the earth and the father of all kings.”\u00a0 So they built a city for him and put him there as king.\u00a0 Malsh\u012bs\u0101d\u0101q called that city \u016arashal\u012bm.\u00a0 When M\u0101kh\u016bl, king of at-Tayman, heard of King Malsh\u012bs\u0101d\u0101q, he went to see him and gave him much money.\u00a0 Malsh\u012bs\u0101d\u0101q was honoured by all the kings and they called him the father of kings (83).<\/p>\n

As for those who say that the days of Malsh\u012bs\u0101d\u0101q had no beginning nor that his life has ever ended, bringing as an argument what the apostle Paul says in the passage, “Of whose days there was no beginning, nor an end to his life” (84), well they show that they have not understood the meaning of the apostle Paul’s affirmation, because of S\u0101m, son of Noah, when he took with him Malsh\u012bs\u0101d\u0101q, taking him away from his parents, it was not written in the [holy] book how old he was when he left the east or how many years old when he died.\u00a0 [It was only written that] Malsh\u012bs\u0101d\u0101q is the son of F\u0101liq, son of ‘\u00c0bir, son of Sh\u0101lakh, son of Q\u012bn\u0101n, son of Arfakhsh\u0101d, son of S\u0101m, son of Noah, but none of these his ancestors was called his father.\u00a0 In fact, the apostle Paul says, “No other man of his lineage served in the Temple” (85), nor did they ever attribute him a father among the tribes.\u00a0 In fact the evangelists Matthew and Luke wrote only of the founders of the tribes.\u00a0 This is why the apostle Paul wrote neither the name of his father nor that of his mother.\u00a0 And yet the apostle Paul does not expressly say that he had no father, but that they did not write him in the genealogies of the tribes.<\/p>\n

Abraham was fifty-one years old when S\u0101r\u016bgh died in the month of Adh\u0101r, or Baramh\u0101t (86), at the age of three hundred and thirty years (87). In the days of Abraham the people of Lut, son of Aran, brother of Abraham, indulged in vice in the cities of Sad\u016bm and \u2018Am\u016br\u0101 (88). God destroyed them and saved L\u016bt.\u00a0 Sarah, Abraham’s wife, was barren and could not bear children.\u00a0 Abraham was very rich.\u00a0 S\u0101ra diede ad Abramo una sua serva di nome H\u0101\u011far.\u00a0 Hagar\u00a0conceived by Abraham and bore him a son whom Abraham called Isma\u2018\u012bl (89). Abraham was eighty-six years old.\u00a0 At the age of ninety-nine, Abraham was circumcised and also circumcised his son Ishmael, who was then thirteen years old.\u00a0 Abraham had already turned 100 when S\u0101rah, his wife, bore him a son whom Abraham called Ish\u0101q (90).\u00a0 S\u0101rah was ninety years old.\u00a0 On the eighth day after his birth, Isaac was circumcised.\u00a0 After giving birth to Isaac, S\u0101rah said to Abraham, “Send H\u0101\u011far and her son Ishmael away from me” (91).\u00a0 Abraham gave his son Ishmael money and provisions and sent him, along with his mother, to the land of Yatrib (92) and Yemen (93).\u00a0 Ishmael established his home there, married there, and reproduced and lived in all for one hundred and thirty-seven years.<\/p>\n

17. In the days of Abraham there was, in the East, a king named K\u016brish, that is the founder of Sumays\u0101t, of Ql\u016bdiy\u0101 and of al-`Ir\u0101q (94).\u00a0 Also in his time, there reigned Kh\u0101b\u012bt (94), wife of S\u012bn, a priest of the mountain; he built Niss\u012bb\u012bn and ar-Ruh\u0101 (96) encircling them with a wall, and he also built a great temple in Harr\u0101n. Then he had a golden idol made in the name of S\u012bn, had it placed in the center of the temple and ordered all the inhabitants of Harr\u0101n to worship it.\u00a0 The inhabitants of Harr\u0101n worshipped it for fifty years.\u00a0 After this, Ba`alsam\u012bn, king of al-`Ir\u0101q, fell madly in love with Talb\u012bn, wife of Tham\u016br, king of Mosul, who escaped from him by setting fire to Harr\u0101n and burning it down, together with the temple and the idol ( 97).\u00a0 Abraham was fifty-nine years old when N\u0101kh\u016br died in the month of Tamm\u016bz, or Ab\u012bb (98), at the age of two hundred and eight (99).<\/p>\n

18. Abraham was fifty-seven years old when God commanded him to kill his son Isaac and offer him as a sacrifice on the fire.\u00a0 Isaac was then thirty-seven years old.\u00a0 If someone were to ask what is the proof that Isaac was thirty-seven when his father set about sacrificing him, he will be answered, “S\u0101rah had given birth to him at the age of ninety.\u00a0 Now when she heard that Abraham had taken her son Isaac and had taken him to the mountain to sacrifice him, she felt intense pain and fell ill, for the pain she had suffered, until she died.\u00a0 She was then a hundred and twenty-seven years old.\u00a0 Isaac, therefore, had to have been, at that time, thirty-seven years old”.\u00a0 So Abraham took his son Isaac and carried him to the mountain, bringing with him wood and fire.\u00a0 Abraham tied his son Isaac’s hands behind his back, sat him down on the wood and then had him stretch out in order to sacrifice him.\u00a0 But an angel from heaven called to him and said to him, “O Abraham, do not sacrifice your son.\u00a0 We have tested your resignation and your obedience, we have scrutinized your soul and we have spared him, moved to compassion towards you “(100).\u00a0 God then ordered him to sacrifice a large ram instead of Isaac.\u00a0 When S\u0101rah heard that Abraham had taken Isaac and led him to the mountain to sacrifice him, she cried out and raised loud laments and for the intense pain and sorrow she felt, she fell ill and died that same year.\u00a0 She had lived in all one hundred and twenty-seven years (101).\u00a0 After S\u0101rah’s death, Abraham married a woman named Q\u012bt\u016bra, daughter of Biqtar, king of ar-Rabba, and had many children (102).\u00a0 Abraham supplied them with provisions and sent them away, far away from Isaac.\u00a0 Abraham lived all one hundred and seventy-five years.<\/p>\n

Isaac was thirty-five years old when T\u0101rikh died in the month of Ayl\u016bl, or T\u016bt, (103) at the age of two hundred and five years and he was buried in Harr\u0101n (104).\u00a0 At the age of forty Isaac married a woman named Ribqa (105), daughter of M\u0101n\u016b’il, son of N\u0101kh\u016br, brother of Abraham (106).\u00a0 Isaac was sixty years old when his wife Rebecca conceived.\u00a0 Her pregnancy was difficult and painful (107).\u00a0 She therefore went to Malsh\u012bs\u0101d\u0101q, who prayed for her and said to her, “In your womb there are two peoples: you will give birth to two tribes and the older will obey the younger.” (108).\u00a0 Rebecca gave birth to two sons in one birth.\u00a0 Isaac called the first al-\u2018Is and the second Ya\u2018q\u016bb (109).\u00a0 He called him Jacob because he had come out of his mother’s womb clinging to Esau’s heel.\u00a0 Isaac loved Esau and Rebecca Jacob.\u00a0 Esau was stocky, hairy and always smelled bad.\u00a0 When he grew old, Isaac called his son Esau and said to him, “Take your weapons, go to the desert and bring me game.\u00a0 Prepare me a good meal so that that I may eat it and bless you, before I die.” (110).<\/p>\n

Rebecca heard this, took Jacob, made him wear Esau’s clothes, then took some kidskin and placed it on his chest, on his shoulders and along Jacob’s arms.\u00a0 Then she prepared a good dish and said: “Go, go to your father Isaac and tell him: ‘I am Esau’, so that he blesses you before he dies.” (111). Jacob went to Isaac and he said to him, “Come closer”. He approached, Isaac felt and said, “Certainly the voice is that of Jacob, but the touch is that of Esau” (112).\u00a0 Then Isaac ate \u200b\u200band blessed Jacob, making him head over his brother.\u00a0 Then Esau came, returning from the hunt, prepared the food and took it to his father Isaac.\u00a0 But his father said to him, “Who came before you and took the blessing?” Esau burst into tears and said, “My Father, do you really have only one blessing?” Isaac replied, “By now I have made him your chief. What can I do for you?” (113).\u00a0 Esau approached him and Isaac blessed him, after having made Jacob his chief.\u00a0 Esau then decided to kill Jacob, but Jacob fled away from his brother, sheltering in Harr\u0101n with his uncle L\u0101b\u0101n.\u00a0 At the time of Isaac, Ar\u012bh\u0101 was built (114).\u00a0 Seven kings built it and each surrounded it with a wall.\u00a0 Isaac was seventy-five years old when Abraham died in the month of N\u012bs\u0101n, or Barm\u016bdah (115), (in another text it says: in the month of Adh\u0101r, or Baramh\u0101t) (116), at the age of one hundred and seventy-five (117).\u00a0 Isaac was one hundred and twenty-three years old when Ishmael died in the month of N\u012bs\u0101n, or Barm\u016bdah (118), at the age of one hundred and thirty-seven (119).\u00a0 Isaac lived in all one hundred and eighty years (120).\u00a0 Esau married, at the age of 40, one of the daughters of his uncle Ishmael, named Nahl\u0101t (121), who bore him many children.\u00a0 Then he married a Canaanite named Ghad\u0101, daughter of Al\u016bn, the Hittite (122).\u00a0 He then married other women, among them from Rum, and spread himself among them.\u00a0 He had an innumerable progeny; including the Amalekites and the Qurri (123).\u00a0 Esau lived in all one hundred and twenty-nine years.<\/p>\n

19. Jacob joined his Uncle L\u0101b\u0101n in Harr\u0101n.\u00a0 His uncle had two daughters: the older one was called Liyy\u0101, who had bleary eyes, and the younger R\u0101h\u012bl (124).\u00a0 Jacob fell in love with Rachel and asked his uncle to marry her who told him, “Serve me for seven years, and I will give you Rachel in marriage.” (125).\u00a0 He served him for seven years, but instead he sent Liyy\u0101, Rachel’s sister, to him.\u00a0 The next day Jacob told his uncle, “I served you for seven years just because you would give me Rachel as a wife.\u00a0 Why, then, did you bring in her sister Liyy\u0101 to me?\u201d (126).\u00a0 Uncle L\u0101b\u0101n answered him, “Serve me for another seven years, and I will marry you to Rachel” (127).\u00a0 He then served him for another seven years, and he gave him Rachel as his wife.\u00a0 Thus Jacob married the two sisters.\u00a0 Liyy\u0101 bore him Ruben (128), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issakar, and Z\u00e0bulon.\u00a0 Rachel had no children.\u00a0 Then she said to Jacob, “Take my slave Bilh\u0101 to conceive by you and I will have a son.” (129).\u00a0 Bilh\u0101, Rachel’s slave, gave birth to two sons by Jacob: D\u0101n and Nifth\u0101l\u012bm.\u00a0 Liyy\u0101 then said to Jacob: “Take my servant Zilfa also, so that she may conceive of you and with my children I will have other children” (130).\u00a0 Zilpha, servant of Liyya, gave birth to two sons by Jacob, \u2018Ad (131) and Ashir.\u00a0 Later, Rachel also conceived and gave birth to Y\u016bsuf and Biny\u0101m\u012bn (132).\u00a0 From these twelve sons of Jacob all the sons of Israel are descended.\u00a0 Jacob then returned to the land of Kan\u2019\u0101n and God called Jacob Isr\u0101’il.\u00a0 Jacob was eighty-seven years old when Liyy\u0101 gave birth to Levi, his third child.\u00a0 Levi’s date of birth was written down, unlike that of his other brothers, because Moses is from the lineage of Levi.\u00a0 Jacob loved Joseph intensely and preferred him to his brothers.\u00a0 That was why his brothers envied him and decided to kill him.\u00a0 While they were grazing their sheep and their camels, they passed a caravan of Midianite merchants, Arabs of the lineage of Ishmael, who carried pine nuts, terebinth and oil headed for Egypt.\u00a0 Joseph’s brothers took him and sold him for twenty dinars (133).\u00a0 Joseph was seventeen.\u00a0 So they took Joseph’s shirt, sprinkled the sleeves with blood and told Jacob, “A wolf has devoured Joseph.” (134).\u00a0 When the merchants came with Joseph to Egypt, a servant of the Pharaoh, who was the head chef (135), bought Joseph.\u00a0 His wife desired him and sent for him, but he did not bend to her wishes.\u00a0 Then she spoke ill of him of her husband, saying, “This Jewish slave tried to seduce me.”\u00a0 He then had him locked up in prison.<\/p>\n

Jacob was one hundred and twenty years old when Isaac died in the month of Ayy\u0101r, or Bashans (136), at the age of one hundred and eighty, and he was one hundred and twenty when Esau died in the month of Tishr\u012bn al-Awwal, or B\u0101bih (137), aged one hundred and twenty-nine years old.<\/p>\n

20. Pharaoh had the chief baker put in jail and the chief cupbearer together with Joseph.\u00a0 The chief cupbearer dreamed that he was holding a bunch of grapes that he pressed and gave a drink to Pharaoh.\u00a0 Joseph said to him, “It will happen just like you saw in the dream. Then remember me when you are near your lord.” (138).\u00a0 The head of the bakers saw in a dream that he had on his head a tray full of bread from which the birds fed.\u00a0 Joseph said to him, “You will be crucified and the birds will feed on your flesh.” (139).\u00a0 Joseph’s words came true.\u00a0 In fact, the pharaoh had a dream and the chief cupbearer told him, “There is a young Jew in prison who is very adept at interpreting dreams.”\u00a0 Pharaoh sent for Joseph and said to him: “I saw seven fat cows come out of the sea followed by seven lean cows. The seven lean cows swallowed the seven fat cows.\u00a0 I then saw seven fat ears of corn grow out of the ground followed by seven empty and dry ears.\u00a0 The seven empty ears have swallowed the seven full ears.” Joseph said to him, “Your reign will be flourishing for seven years and for another seven years there will be drought and great famine.” (140).\u00a0 Pharaoh then created Joseph the supreme administrator of his kingdom and gave him his ring. In the seven years of prosperity, Joseph amassed so much grain to fill countless barns.<\/p>\n

21. Joseph was thirty years old when he married a woman named As\u012bn\u0101t (141), daughter of the priest of the city of \u2018Ayn Shams (142), who gave him two sons.\u00a0 Joseph called the first Manasseh, who was his firstborn, and called the other Ifr\u0101m.\u00a0 In the place called Minf (143), Joseph built a hydrometer to measure the increase in water from the Nile in Egypt; he had the canal called al-Manha (144) dug, and he built Hagar al-L\u00e0h\u016bn (145).\u00a0 At forty years old Levi, son of Jacob, had Q\u0101h\u0101t, in the territory of Kan\u2019\u0101n, three years before they entered Egypt.\u00a0 At that time there was great famine in Egypt and in Syria.\u00a0 The Egyptians bought grain from Joseph until they were left without a d\u00ecn\u00e0r or a dirham.\u00a0 They therefore bought more grain by selling their property, their animals and their homes.\u00a0 And when they had nothing left, they said to Joseph, “Let us sell ourselves to pharaoh and declare ourselves his slaves, but give us grain to eat and sow.” (146).\u00a0 Thus Joseph bought for the pharaoh the people of the Egyptians, giving them grain to eat and to sow in exchange and making them pay the tithes of their crops, a custom that is still in force today.\u00a0 Thus it was that the Egyptians became slaves of the pharaoh.\u00a0 In his days lived Job the just man (147), or Ayy\u016bb, son of Am\u016bs, son of Z\u0101r\u0101kh, son of R\u0101gh\u016b’\u012bl, son of Esau, son of Isaac, son of Abraham, son of Abraham.\u00a0 He was very rich, and God put him to the test.\u00a0 However, he gave thanks and endured with a docile spirit, and God withdrew the test from him and returned his goods.<\/p>\n

22. A severe famine struck Syria.\u00a0 Jacob then said to his sons,\u00a0 “Go to Egypt and buy grain.” (148)\u00a0 Joseph’s brothers went to Egypt.\u00a0 When Joseph saw them, he recognized them.\u00a0 But they did not recognize him.\u00a0 Benjamin, his twin brother, was not with them.\u00a0 Joseph said to them, “Who are you? Where do you come from, and what do you want?”. They replied, “We are the sons of Jacob. We were twelve, but a wolf devoured one, whose twin brother has remained with his father.\u00a0 Our father is very old and weeps for the son devoured by the wolf day and night\u201d.\u00a0 Joseph said to them:\u00a0 “You are nothing but spies.”\u00a0 But they swore and Joseph said, “If you tell the truth and you are not spies, leave one of you here and return to your father bringing me your younger brother, the one whose brother the wolf has devoured, to let us know if you are telling the truth.”\u00a0 They left with him Simeon, and Joseph ordered that their saddlebags be filled with grain, putting in every bag some silver that belonged to his lord.\u00a0 When they came to Jacob, they informed him of what had happened and each found the silver in his bag.\u00a0 They then returned to Egypt to buy grain, taking with them the silver and some goods.\u00a0 They also brought Benjamin, Joseph’s twin brother.\u00a0 When Joseph saw him, he ordered them to be treated with all respect and he felt great tenderness and emotion for them.\u00a0 Their saddlebags were filled with wheat and he ordered once again to put in each one of them the silver of his master, while in that of Benjamin he had put a golden cup that belonged to the pharaoh.\u00a0 When they had left Joseph and were headed to Syria, Joseph’s servants joined them and told them:\u00a0 “[Our] lord has treated you with every respect, but you have behaved in the worst way by stealing the king’s gold cup.”\u00a0 They replied, “Take also the one with whom you find it, and let him be the slave of your king.” They searched in their saddlebags and found the cup in the bag of Benjamin.\u00a0 The servants then took Benjamin and took him to Joseph.\u00a0 The brothers came back with him and told Joseph:\u00a0 “Our Lord, our father is very old.\u00a0 The brother of this young man was devoured by a wolf, as we have already told you, and his father still mourns him to this day.\u00a0 If you keep him with you, we will not be able to return to our father, because if he is not with us his father will die from the pain.\u00a0 Leave him free, so that he may return to his father, and take as your slave whichever of us seems good to you”.\u00a0 Joseph answered them,\u00a0 “God forbid we take anyone but the one in whose bag we found the cup”.\u00a0 Then Joseph took pity on them and said, “I am Joseph, your brother.\u00a0 Do not grieve or fear”.\u00a0 Joseph then went to Jacob with tents and chariots and took him, along with all his descendants, to Egypt out of the land of Canaan (149). Jacob entered Egypt in the second year of the famine (in another text it is said: in the third), together with his sons and the children of his sons, without counting the women of his sons not born of his loins, with Joseph and his two sons: there were seventy people in all.\u00a0 Jacob was then a hundred and thirty years old.\u00a0 He remained in Egypt seventeen years.\u00a0 Levi was sixty years old when Jacob died in Egypt.\u00a0 Joseph and all his sons took him to the land of Canaan and buried him there with his father Isaac. Jacob lived in all forty-seven years.<\/p>\n

23.
