Jubilees 36:1-24

¹And in the sixth year of this week [2162 A.M.] Isaac called his two sons Esau and Jacob, and they came to him, and he said to them: 'My sons, I am going the way of my fathers, to the eternal house where my fathers are.

²Therefore bury me near Abraham my father, in the double cave in the field of Ephron the Hittite, where Abraham purchased a sepulchre to bury in; in the sepulchre which I dug for myself, there bury me.

³And this I command you, my sons, that you practice righteousness and uprightness on the earth, so that the Lord may bring upon you all that the Lord said he would do to Abraham and to his seed.

⁴And love one another, my sons, your brothers as a man who loves his own soul, and let each seek how he may benefit his brother, and let them act together on the earth; and let them love each other as their own souls.

⁵And concerning the question of idols, I command and admonish you to reject them and hate them, and do not love them, for they are full of deception for those who worship them and for those who bow down to them.

⁶Remember, my sons, the Lord God of Abraham your father, and how I too worshiped Him and served Him in righteousness and in joy, that He might multiply you and increase your seed as the stars of heaven in multitude, and establish you on the earth as the plant of righteousness which will not be rooted out for all the generations forever.

⁷And now I shall make you swear a great oath—for there is no oath greater than it, by the name glorious and honored and great and splendid and wonderful and mighty, which created the heavens and the earth and all things together—that you will fear Him and worship Him.

⁸And that each will love his brother with affection and righteousness, and that neither will desire evil against his brother from now on forever, all the days of your life, so that you may prosper in all your deeds and not be destroyed.

⁹And if either of you devises evil against his brother, know that from now on everyone who devises evil against his brother shall fall into his hand, and shall be rooted out of the land of the living, and his seed shall be destroyed from under heaven.

¹⁰But on the day of turbulence and cursing and indignation and anger, with flaming devouring fire, as He burned Sodom, so likewise will He burn his land and his city and all that is his, and he shall be blotted out of the book of the discipline of the children of men, and not be recorded in the book of life, but in that which is appointed to destruction, and he shall depart into eternal cursing; so that their condemnation may always be renewed in hate and in cursing and in wrath and in torment and in indignation and in plagues and in disease forever.

¹¹I say and testify to you, my sons, according to the judgment which shall come upon the man who wishes to injure his brother.'

¹²And he divided all his possessions between the two on that day, and he gave the larger portion to the firstborn, and the tower and all that was around it, and all that Abraham possessed at the Well of the Oath.

¹³And he said: 'This larger portion I will give to the firstborn.'

¹⁴And Esau said, 'I have sold it to Jacob and given my birthright to Jacob; let it be given to him, and I do not have a single word to say regarding it, for it is his.'

¹⁵And Isaac said, 'May a blessing rest upon you, my sons, and upon your seed this day, for you have given me rest, and my heart is not pained concerning the birthright, lest you should work wickedness on account of it.

¹⁶May the Most High God bless the man who works righteousness, him and his seed forever.'

¹⁷And he ended commanding them and blessing them, and they ate and drank together before him, and he rejoiced because there was one mind between them, and they went forth from him and rested that day and slept.

¹⁸And Isaac slept on his bed that day rejoicing; and he slept the eternal sleep, and died one hundred and eighty years old. He completed twenty-five weeks and five years; and his two sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

¹⁹And Esau went to the land of Edom, to the mountains of Seir, and dwelt there.

²⁰And Jacob dwelt in the mountains of Hebron, in the tower of the land of the sojournings of his father Abraham, and he worshiped the Lord with all his heart and according to the visible commands, according as He had divided the days of his generations.

²¹And Leah his wife died in the fourth year of the second week of the forty-fifth jubilee, [2167 A.M.] and he buried her in the double cave near Rebecca his mother, to the left of the grave of Sarah, his father's mother.

²²And all her sons and his sons came to mourn over Leah his wife with him and to comfort him regarding her, for he was lamenting her; for he loved her exceedingly after Rachel her sister died, for she was perfect and upright in all her ways and honored Jacob.

²³And all the days that she lived with him he did not hear from her mouth a harsh word, for she was gentle and peaceable and upright and honorable.

²⁴And he remembered all her deeds which she had done during her life, and he lamented her exceedingly; for he loved her with all his heart and with all his soul.
