AḆRAHAM 126

1 We had dwelt in Gerar nine months when the three qodesh men of Elohim again visited us and Sarah gave birth to a son.

2 And on the eighth day he was circumcised according to the commandment of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 to me and I called his name Yitsḥaq. The child grew and when he was three years old he was weaned and I made a great feast on the day he was weaned.

3 And Malkitseḏeq, sovereign of Shalom, with Ĕḇer his heir and Aḇimeleḵ, sovereign of Gerar with his son, Aḇimeleḵ, and Pharaoh, sovereign of Mitsrayim, father to Haḡar and Yishma’ĕl, and all the mighty princes of the land came to the feast which I prepared, for these were the men whom I loved, with my brethren Aneram, Eshkol, and Mamrĕ.

4 My father, Teraḥ, also, and my brother, Naḥor, came unto the feast having heard that Sarah had borne a son. And we all rejoiced before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 for many days that my son Yitsḥaq had reached the age of weaning from his mother.

5 And from that time forth Sarah and I introduced the lad into the Mishkan and began to instruct him in the mysteries of reverent that he might be prepared in his youth to enter into the Most Qodesh Place and be instructed there.

6 For Shĕm had instructed me in the city of Shalom that children should be instructed in the Hĕyḵal from the age of weaning which is three years old, that they should be instructed in the Most Qodesh Place from the age of puberty which is twelve years old, and that they should be endowed with power from on high from the age of maturity, which is fourteen years.

7 But inasmuch as I had not journeyed unto the city of Shalom until I was ten years old, I was prepared for the bireḵoth of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s House in only a few years.
