1 And it came to pass in the
†first† week in the †fortyfourth† jubilee, in the †second†
year, that is, the year in which
Abraham died, that Isaac and
Ishmael came from the Well
of the Oath to celebrate the
feast of weeks -- that is, the
feast of the first-fruits of the
harvest -- to Abraham, their
father, and Abraham rejoiced
because his two sons had
come. 2 For Isaac had many
possessions in Beersheba, and
Isaac was wont to go and see
his possessions and to return
to his father. 3 And in those
days Ishmael came to see his
father, and they both came
together, and Isaac offered a
sacrifice for a burnt-offering,
and presented it on the altar of
his father which he had made
in Hebron. 4 And he offered
a thank-offering and made a
feast of joy before Ishmael, his
brother: and Rebecca made
new cakes from the new grain,
and gave them to Jacob, her
son, to take them to Abraham,
his father, from the first-fruits
of the land, that he might eat

and bless the Creator of all
things before he died.
5 And Isaac, too, sent by the
hand of Jacob to Abraham
a best thank-offering, that he
might eat and drink.
6 And he ate and drank, and
blessed the Most High Elohim,
Who hath created heaven and
earth, Who hath made all the
fat things of the earth, And
given them to the children
of men That they might eat
and drink and bless their
Creator. 7 “And now I give
thanks unto Thee, my Elohim,
because Thou hast caused me
to see this day: behold, I am
