AḆRAHAM 111

1 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 appeared unto me in the plains of Mamrĕ and he said unto me, Behold, Yishma’ĕl shall not be thine heir, neither Eli’ezer, for Sarah will I baraḵ and I will give thee a son of her.

2 She shall be the mother of nations and sovereigns and people shall be of her.

3 Then I fell upon my face before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and I rejoiced and I said unto Him, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, it is a wondrous thing that this promise should be fulfilled when I am a hundred years old and Sarah is ninety.

4 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 said, Prepare thine heart to receive it, and He told me many secret things concerning the conception of the child which are great mysteries to the unenlightened, but the elect shall know them, and I rejoiced therein.
