Now Sarah's heart was knit unto Isaac's insomuch that she did keep him by her side whenever possible and he did sleep upon her bed at night.
2
Wherefore, I thought, How shall I separate Isaac from his mother Sarah for such a journey lest her heart be grieved and she die in her grief?

So I went in unto Sarah and comforted her and afterwards I said unto her, Our son Isaac we have taught these many years and I feel now that I should take him unto Shem and Eber his son where he can be instructed by the ancient ones in the mysteries of the ancients that he may become a perfect servant of the Lord our God.

Sarah replied, Thou hast spoken well, my lord. Go to now and do all as thou hast said, only let the lad remain not too long apart from me for my soul is bound to his soul with a perfect love from God.

And I answered Sarah saying, My daughter, let us pray to the Lord our God that we may yield to his will in all things and that all things will work together for our good.
