Yubalym (Jubilee) — 16

1 And on the New Moon of the fourth month the Qadash Malakym appeared unto Abraham, at the oak of Mamra, and they talked with him, and they announced to him that a son would be given to him by Sharah his woman.

2 And Sharah laughed, for she heard that they had spoken these words with Abraham, and they admonished her, and she became afraid, and denied that she had laughed on account of the words.

3 And the Qadash Malakym told her the name of her son, as his name is ordained and written in the Shamaym tablets, that is Yachaq,

4 And that when we returned to her at a set time, she would have conceived a son.

5 And in this month 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH executed his judgments on Sadum, and Amurah, and Tsabym, and all the region of the Yardan, and 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH burned them with fire and brimstone, and destroyed them until this day, even as lo I have declared unto you all their works, that they are wicked and sinners exceedingly, and that they defile themselves and commit fornication in their flesh, and work uncleanness on the Arath.

6 And, in like manner, 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH will execute judgment on the places where they have done according to the uncleanness of the Sadumym, like unto the judgment of Sadum.

7 But Lut was saved, for 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH remembered Abraham and sent him out from the midst of the overthrow.

8 And Lut and his daughters committed sin upon the Arath, such as had not been on the Arath since the days of A'dam till his time; for the man lay with his daughters.

9 And, behold, it was commanded and engraved concerning all his seed, on the Shamaym tablets, to remove them and root them out, and to execute judgment upon them like the judgment of Sadum, and to leave no seed of the man on Arath on the day of condemnation.

10 And in this month, Abraham moved from Habrun, and departed and dwelt between Qadash and Shur in the mountains of Garar.

11 And in the middle of the fifth month he moved from thence and dwelt at the Well of the Uath.

12 And in the middle of the sixth month 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH visited Sarah and did unto her as he had spoken, and she conceived.

13 And she bore a son in the third month, and in the middle of the month, at the time of which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH had spoken to Abraham, on the Feast of the First fruits of the harvest, Yachaq was born.

14 And Abraham circumcised his son on the eighth day: he was the first that was circumcised according to the covenant which is ordained forever.

15 And in the sixth year of the fourth week the Qadash Malakym came to Abraham, to the Well of the Uath, and they appeared unto Abraham as they had told Sharah that they will return to her, and she will have conceived a son.

16 And they returned in the seventh month, and found Sarah with child before them and they Baraked him, and they announced to Abraham all the things which had been decreed concerning him, that he should not die till he should beget six sons more, and should see them before he died; but that in Yachaq should his name and seed be called:

17 And that all the seed of his sons should be the other nations, and be reckoned with the other nations; but from the sons of Yachaq one should become a Qadash seed, and should not be reckoned among the other nations.

18 For he should become the portion of AL'ALYUN, and all his seed had fallen into the possession of 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH, that it should be unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH a people for his possession above all nations and that it should become a kingdom and Kuhanym and a Qadash nation.

19 And they went their way, and they announced to Sharah all that they had told Abraham, and they both rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

20 And Abraham built there an altar to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH who had delivered him, and who was making him rejoice in the land of his sojourning, and Abraham celebrated a feast of joy in this month seven days, near the altar which he had built at the Well of the Uath.

21 And Abraham built Sukkoth for himself and for his servants on this feast, and he was the first to celebrate the Feast of Sukkoth on the Arath.

22 And during these seven days he brought each day to the altar an ascending smoke offering to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, two oxen, two rams, seven sheep, one he goat, for a sin offering, that he might atone thereby for himself and for his seed.

23 And, as a thank offering, seven rams, seven kids, seven sheep, and seven he goats, and their fruit offerings and their drink offerings; and he burnt all the fat thereof on the altar, a chosen offering unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH for a sweet-smelling savor.

24 And evening and morning he burnt fragrant substances, frankincense and galbanum, and stacte, and nard, and myrrh, and spice, and costum; all these seven he offered, crushed, mixed together in equal parts and pure.

25 And he celebrated this feast during seven days, rejoicing with all his heart and with all his soul, he and all those who were in his house, and there was no stranger with him, nor any that was uncircumcised.

26 And Abraham Baraked his Creator who had created him in his generation, for he had created him according to his good pleasure; for he knew and perceived that from him would arise the plant of righteousness for the eternal generations, and from him a Qadash seed, so that it should become like him who had made all things.

27 And Abraham Baraked and rejoiced, and he called the name of this feast the Feast of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, a joy acceptable to AL'ALYUN.

28 And the Qadash Malakym Baraked Abraham forever, and all his seed after him throughout all the generations of the Arath, because he celebrated this feast in its season, according to the testimony of the Shamaym tablets.

29 For this reason it is ordained on the Shamaym tablets concerning Yashar'AL, that they shall celebrate the Feast of Sukkoth seven days with joy, in the seventh month, acceptable before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH a statute forever throughout their generations every year.

30 And to this there is no limit of days; for it is ordained forever regarding Yashar'AL that they should celebrate it and dwell in Sukkoth, and set wreaths upon their heads, and take leafy boughs, and willows from the brook.

31 And Abraham took branches of palm trees, and the fruit of goodly trees, and every day going round the altar with the branches seven times a day in the morning, he praised and gave thanks to his 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH for all things in joy.
