Chapter 149


1

But Sarah said, Surely the heart of my lord Abraham is right with the Lord his God for he walketh before him in all his ways.

2

Nevertheless, shall my son Isaac be offered as a burnt offering and I not be there to weep over him and strengthen him and pray for him that he be an acceptable offering unto the Lord God of Abraham?

3

Nay, but I shall go to him.

4

And Sarah departed with her men-servants and her maid-servants and went as far as Hebron but found us not.

5

Therefore, Sarah rested in Hebron and sent her young men to find us, who searched all the land round about and even in the city of Shalom but found us not.

6

Then Sarah prayed unto the Lord saying, O Lord God of Abraham, Surely I know that all things are in thine hand, and I do not fear for my son Isaac for I know that mine husband Abraham is an high priest after thine holy order.

7

Nevertheless, it is my desire to be with my son at this holy hour that I might share his joy and his sorrow before the Lord our God.
