Yubalym (Jubilee) — 17

1 And in the first year of the fifth week Yachaq was weaned in this Yubalym, and Abraham made a great banquet in the third month, on the day his son Yachaq was weaned.

2 And Yishma'al, the son of Ha'ger, the Mitzraym, was before the face of Abraham, his father, in his place, and Abraham rejoiced and Baraked 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH because he had seen his sons and had not died childless.

3 And Abraham remembered the words which 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH had spoken to him on the day on which Lut had parted from him, and he rejoiced because 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH had given him seed upon the Arath to inherit the Arath, and Abraham Baraked with all his heart the Creator of all things

4 And Sharah saw Yishma'al playing and dancing, and Abraham rejoicing with great joy, and she became jealous of Yishma'al and said to Abraham: Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman will not be heir with my son, Yachaq.

5 And the thing was grievous in Abraham's sight, because of his maidservant and because of his son, that he should drive them from him.

6 And 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH said to Abraham: Let it not be grievous in your sight, because of the child and because of the bondwoman; in all that Sharah has said unto you, hearken to her words and do them; for in Yachaq shall your name and seed be called. But as for the son of this bondwoman I will make him a great nation, because he is of your seed.

7 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and placed them on the shoulders of Ha'gar and the child and sent her away.

8 And she departed and wandered in the wilderness of Ba'ar Shaba, and the water in the bottle was spent, and the child thirsted, and was not able to go on, and fell down.

9 And his mother took him and cast him under an olive tree, and went and sat her down over against him, at the distance of a bow shot; for she said: Let me not see the death of my child, and as she sat, she wept.

10 And an Malak of 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH, one of the Qadash ones, said unto her: Why weep you, Ha'gar? Arise take the child and hold him in your hand; for 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH has heard your voice and has seen the child.

11 And she opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water, and she went and filled her bottle with water, and she gave her child to drink, and she arose and went towards the wilderness of Pa'ran.

12 And the child grew and became an archer, and 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH was with him, and his mother took him a woman from among the daughters of the Mitzraym.

13 And she bore him a son, and he called his name Nabayuth; for she said: 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH was nigh to me when I called upon him.

14 And it came to pass in the seventh week, in the first year thereof, in the first month in this Yubalym, on the twelfth of this month, there were voices in Shamaym regarding Abraham, that he was faithful in all that 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH told him, and that he loved 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, and that in every affliction Abraham was faithful.

15 And the prince Mastama came and said before 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH: Behold, Abraham loves Yachaq his son, and he delights in him above all things else; bid him to offer him as an ascending smoke offering on the altar, and you will see if he will do this command, and you will know if he is faithful in everything wherein you do try him.

16 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH knew that Abraham was faithful in all his afflictions; for he had tried him through his country and with famine, and had tried him with the wealth of kings, and had tried him again through his woman, when she was torn from him, and with circumcision; and had tried him through Yishma'al and Ha'gar, his maidservant, when he sent them away.

17 And in everything wherein he had tried him, he was found faithful, and his soul was not impatient, and he was not slow to act; for Abraham was faithful and a lover of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
