1 And on the new moon of the fourth month we appeared unto Abraham, at the oak of Mamre, and we talked with him, and we announced to him that a son would be given to him by Sarah his wife. (JUB) 2 And Sarah laughed, for she heard that we had spoken these words with Abraham, and we admonished her, and she became afraid, and denied that she had laughed on account of the words. (JUB) 3 And we told her the name of her son, as his name is ordained and written in the heavenly tablets (i.e.) Isaac, (JUB) 4 And (that) when we returned to her at a set time, she would have conceived a son. (JUB) 5 And in this month the Lord executed his judgments on Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Zeboim, and all the region of the Jordan, and He burned them with fire and brimstone, and destroyed them until this day, even as [lo] I have declared unto thee all their works, that they are wicked and sinners exceedingly, and that they defile themselves and commit fornication in their flesh, and work uncleanness on the earth. (JUB) 6 And, in like manner, God will execute judgment on the places where they have done according to the uncleanness of the Sodomites, like unto the judgment of Sodom. (JUB) 7 But Lot we saved; for God remembered Abraham, and sent him out from the midst of the overthrow. (JUB) 8 And he and his daughters committed sin upon the earth, such as had not been on the earth since the days of Adam till his time; for the man lay with his daughters. (JUB) 9 And, behold, it was commanded and engraven concerning all his seed, on the heavenly tablets, to remove them and root them out, and to execute judgment upon them like the judgment of Sodom, and to leave no seed of the man on earth on the day of condemnation. (JUB) 10 And in this month Abraham moved from Hebron, and departed and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur in the mountains of Gerar. (JUB) 11 And in the middle of the fifth month he moved from thence, and dwelt at the Well of the Oath. (JUB) 12 And in the middle of the sixth month the Lord visited Sarah and did unto her as He had spoken and she conceived. (JUB) 13 And she bare a son in the third month, and in the middle of the month, at the time of which the Lord had spoken to Abraham, on the festival of the first fruits of the harvest, Isaac was born. (JUB) 14 And Abraham circumcised his son on the eighth day: he was the first that was circumcised according to the covenant which is ordained for ever. (JUB) 15 And in the sixth year of the fourth week we came to Abraham, to the Well of the Oath, and we appeared unto him [as we had told Sarah that we should return to her, and she would have conceived a son. (JUB) 16 And we returned in the seventh month, and found Sarah with child before us] and we blessed him, and we anno… (JUB)
