Jasher 26 — The Struggle in the Womb, the Sale of the Birthright’s Preamble, and the Death of Abraham

Book of Jasher · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph

1And in the fifty-ninth year of the life of Isaac the son of Abraham, Rebecca his wife was still barren in those days.

2And Rebecca said to Isaac, Truly I have heard, my Lord, that your mother Sarah was barren in her days until my Lord Abraham, your father, prayed for her and she conceived by him.

3Now therefore stand up, pray you also to Elohim (God) and he will hear your prayer and remember us through his mercies.

4And Isaac answered his wife Rebecca, saying, Abraham has already prayed for me to Elohim to multiply his seed, now therefore this barrenness must proceed to us from you.

That is the first paragraph of Jasher 26
