Jasher 28 — Isaac in Gerar, Esau’s Canaanite Wives, and the Barrenness of Laban

Book of Jasher · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph

1And in those days, after the death of Abraham, in that year Yahuah (the Lord) brought a heavy famine in the land, and whilst the famine was raging in the land of Canaan, Isaac rose up to go down to Egypt on account of the famine, as his father Abraham had done.

2And Yahuah (the Lord) appeared that night to Isaac and he said to him, Do not go down to Egypt but rise and go to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines, and remain there till the famine shall cease.

That is the first paragraph of Jasher 28
