Yubalym (Jubilee) — 32

1 And he abode that night at Bayt-al, and La'uy dreamt that they had ordained and made him the Kuhan (priest) of AL'ALYUN, him and his sons forever; and he awoke from his sleep and Baraked 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.

2 And Ya'aqub rose early in the morning, on the fourteenth of this month, and he gave a tithe of all that came with him, both of men and cattle, both of gold and every vessel and garment, yea, he gave tithes of all.

3 And in those days, Rachal became pregnant with her son BanYamin. And Ya'aqub counted his sons from him upwards and La'uy fell to the portion of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, and Ya'aqub clothed La'uy in the garments of the Kuhanhood (priesthood) and filled his hands.

4 And on the fifteenth of this month, he brought to the altar fourteen oxen from amongst the cattle, and twenty-eight rams, and forty-nine sheep, and seven lambs, and twenty-one kids of the goats as an ascending smoke offering on the altar of sacrifice, well pleasing for a sweet savor before 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH.

5 This was his offering, in consequence of the vow which he had vowed that he would give a tenth, with their fruit offerings and their drink offerings.

6 And when the fire had consumed it, he burnt incense over the fire, and for a thank offering two oxen and four rams and four sheep, four he goats, and two sheep of a year old, and two kids of the goats; and thus he did daily for seven days.

7 Then Ya'aqub and all his sons and his men were eating with joy during the seven days they gave Yadah and Tudah to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, who had delivered him out of all his tribulation and had given him his vow.

8 And Ya'aqub tithed all the clean animals, and made an ascending smoke sacrifice, but the unclean animals he gave not to La'uy his son, and he gave him all the souls of the men.

9 And La'uy discharged the Kuhan office at Byt-AL before Ya'aqub his father in preference to his ten brothers, and he was a Kuhan there, and Ya'aqub gave his vow:

10 Thus Ya'aqub tithed again the tithe to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH and sanctified it, and it became Qadash unto him. And for this reason it is ordained on the Shamaym tablets as a Turah for the tithing again the tithe to eat before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH from year to year, in the place where it is chosen that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH's name should dwell, and to this Turah there is no limit of days forever.

11 This ordinance is written that it may be fulfilled from year to year in eating the second tithe before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH in the place where it has been chosen, and nothing shall remain over from it from this year to the year following.

12 For in its year shall the seed be eaten till the days of the gathering of the seed of the year, and the wine till the days of the wine, and the oil till the days of its season.

13 And all that is left thereof and becomes old, let it be regarded as polluted: let it be burnt with fire, for it is unclean.

14 And thus let them eat it together in the sanctuary and let them not suffer it to become old.

15 And all the tithes of the oxen and sheep shall be Qadash unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, and shall belong to his Kuhanym, which they will eat before 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH from year to year; for thus is it ordained and engraved regarding the tithe on the Shamaym tablets.

16 And on the following night, on the twenty second day of this month, Ya'aqub resolved to build that place, and to surround the court with a wall, and to sanctify it and make it Qadash forever, for himself and his children after him.

17 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH appeared to Ya'aqub by night and Baraked him and said unto him: Your name shall not be called Ya'aqub, but Yashar'AL shall your name be called.

18 And 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH said unto Ya'aqub again: I am 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH who created the Shamaym and the Arath, and I will increase you and multiply you exceedingly, and kings shall come forth from you, and they shall judge everywhere wherever the foot of the sons of men has trodden.

19 And I will give to your seed all the Arath which is under Shamaym, and they shall judge all the nations according to their desires, and after that they shall get possession of the whole Arath and inherit it forever.

20 And 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH finished speaking with Ya'aqub, and 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH went up from him, and Ya'aqub looked till he had ascended into Shamaym.

21 And Ya'aqub saw in a vision of the night, and behold a Malak descended from Shamaym with seven tablets in his hands, and he gave them to Ya'aqub, and he read them and knew all that was written therein which would befall him and his sons throughout all the ages.

22 And he showed him all that was written on the tablets and said unto him: Do not build this place, and do not make it an eternal sanctuary, and do not dwell here; for this is not the place. Go to the house of Abraham your father and dwell with Yachaq your father until the day of the death of your father.

23 For in Mitzraym you shall die in Shalum, and in this land, you shall be buried with honor in the sepulcher of your fathers, with Abraham and Yachaq.

24 Fear not, for as you have seen and read it, thus shall it all be, and do write down everything as you have seen and read.

25 And Ya'aqub said: O 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH how can I remember all that I have read and seen? And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH said unto Ya'aqub I will bring all things to your remembrance.

26 And 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH went up from him, and he awoke from his sleep, and he remembered everything which he had read and seen, and he wrote down all the words which he had read and seen.

27 And Ya'aqub celebrated there yet another day, and he sacrificed thereon according to all that he sacrificed on the former days, and called its name: Addition, for this day was added and the former days he called: The Feast.

28 And thus it was manifested that it should be, and it is written on the Shamaym tablets: wherefore it was revealed to him that he should celebrate it and add it to the seven days of the feast.

29 And its name was called: Addition, because that it was recorded amongst the days of the feast days, according to the number of the days of the year.

30 And in the night, on the twenty third of this month, Daburah Rabaqah's nurse died, and they buried her beneath the city under the oak of the river, and he called the name of this place: The river of Daburah, and the oak: The oak of the mourning of Daburah.

31 And Rabaqah went and returned to her house to Ya'aqub's father Yachaq, and Ya'aqub sent by her hand rams and sheep and he-goats that she should prepare a meal for his father Yachaq such as he desired.

32 And Ya'aqub went after his mother till he came to the land of Kabratan, and he dwelt there.

33 And Rachal bore a son in the night and called his name: Son of my sorrow; for she suffered in giving birth to him: but the child's father Ya'aqub called his name Banyamin, on the eleventh of the eighth month in the first of the sixth week of this Yubalym.

34 And Rachal died there, and she was buried in the land of Aphrathah, the same is Bayt'Lacham, and Ya'aqub built a pillar on the grave of Rachal, on the road above her grave.
