1
And it came to pass that I did notice the daughter of Laman and the sister of Baraq, for the beauty of her radiance did shine like that of the sun, and her eyes, they did overcome me insomuch that I did desire to take her as my wife.
2
And Laman, the son of Zenos, did see me looking upon Sarah, and he did give her unto me to be my wife, and I did let her possess me that I should be her husband.
3
¶ And it came to pass that she did bare unto me four sons, and she did name them Joseph, and Zenoch, and Jacob, and the youngest of our sons she did name Zenos;
4
Yea, and she did also bear me two daughters, and she did name the first Makhlah, and second she did name Rachel after our mother, the most beloved of the wives of our father, Jacob.
5
And Joseph was the first-born of us, and Rachel the youngest of our seed, and I did bless them and set them apart.
6
Yea, and I did bless my wife, and I did set her apart, a High Priestess unto YHVH, El Elyon, and the Voice did give unto her a new name, even Lyaurah (Hebrew, ליאורה “a light unto me,” “illumination” or “enlightenment”).
7
¶ And it came to pass that after I did dwell with them in the house of Laman, serving him for ten years, that the angel of YHVH did come unto me, desiring that I should return to that cave.
8
¶ And it came to pass that as we traveled, the Voice did speak unto me, and we did stop by merchants as they were resting in the wilderness in their travels.
9
And I did speak unto Lyaurah, and she did know and she did understand, for she did know the ways of YHVH, our Elohim.
10
And taking her hand, and placing it into the hand of that merchant, I did say unto him: Behold, thou art my brother, and she your wife, and these, thy children; so it must be that the Torah be kept,
11
For Moses did say: And if brethren dwell together and one of them die and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger; the brother of her husband shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of a brother of that husband unto her.
12
And now, you are also of the seed of Joseph; therefore, you are my brother, and I, I shall not live; therefore, behold my brother, this thy wife, and these thy children.
13
¶ And it came to pass that he did swear an oath unto me to keep them and to serve them all the days of his life,
14
And that all that he had should be given unto them, for his wife was barren and they had no seed, and they had gone before Ha’Elohim, even as our father, Abraham and our mother, Sarah, seeking heirs.
15
And the angel of YHVH did speak unto them in a dream, saying El Olam did have seed for him, and that they should be given him in the wilderness;
16
Therefore, this day the things of YHVH Elohim were come to pass, and he did rejoice for his petition had been granted.
17
And it came to pass that I did return unto that cave a lone man, knowing my fate.
