Jasher 47 — The Death of Isaac and the Division of the Inheritance

Book of Jasher · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph

1And Isaac the son of Abraham was still living in those days in the land of Canaan; he was very aged, one hundred and eighty years old, and Esau his son, the brother of Jacob, was in the land of Edom, and he and his sons had possessions in it amongst the children of Seir.

2And Esau heard that his father’s time was drawing nigh to die, and he and his sons and household came to the land of Canaan, to his father’s house, and Jacob and his sons went forth from the place where they dwelt in Hebron, and they all came to their father Isaac, and they found Esau and his sons in the tent.

That is the first paragraph of Jasher 47
