thou sayest unto me, and I will
not refuse thy petition.”
20 And she said unto him:
“I ask you that the day I die,
thou wilt take me in and bury
me near Sarah, thy father’s
mother, and that thou and
Jacob will love each other,
and that neither will desire
evil against the other, but
mutual love only, and (so) ye
will prosper, my sons, and
be honoured in the midst of
the land, and no enemy will
rejoice over you, and ye will
be a blessing and a mercy in
the eyes of all those that love
you.” 21 And he said: “I will
do all that thou hast told me,
and I shall bury thee on the
day thou diest near Sarah, my
father’s mother, as thou hast
desired that her bones may be
near thy bones. 22 And Jacob,
my brother, also, I shall love
above all flesh; for I have not
a brother in all the earth but
him only: and this is no great
merit for me if I love him; for
he is my brother, and we were
sown together in thy body, and
together came we forth from
thy womb, and if I do not love
my brother, whom shall I love?
23 And I, myself, beg thee to
exhort Jacob concerning me
and concerning my sons, for I
know that he will assuredly be
king over me and my sons, for

on the day my father blessed
him he made him the higher
and me the lower. 24 And I
swear unto thee that I shall
love him, and not desire evil
against him all the days of my
life but good only.” And he
sware unto her regarding all
this matter. 25 And she called
Jacob before the eyes of Esau,
and gave him commandment
according to the words which
she had spoken to Esau.
26 And he said: “I shall do
thy pleasure; believe me that
no evil will proceed from me
or from my sons against Esau,
and I shall be first in naught
save in love only.” 27 And
they ate and drank, she and
her sons that night, and she
died, three jubilees and one
week and one year old, on
that night, and her two sons,
Esau and Jacob, buried her in
the double cave near Sarah,
their father’s mother.
