Now Abram dwelt near the oak called Ogyges,--the place belongs to
Canaan, not far from the city of Hebron. But being uneasy at his wife's
barrenness, he entreated God to grant that he might have male issue; and
God required of him to be of good courage, and said that he would add to
all the rest of the benefits that he had bestowed upon him, ever since
he led him out of Mesopotamia, the gift of children. Accordingly Sarai,
at God's command, brought to his bed one of her handmaidens, a woman of
Egyptian descent, in order to obtain children by her; and when this handmaid
was with child, she triumphed, and ventured to affront Sarai, as if the
dominion were to come to a son to be born of her. But when Abram resigned
her into the hand of Sarai, to punish her, she contrived to fly away, as
not able to bear the instances of Sarai's severity to her; and she entreated
God to have compassion on her. Now a Divine Angel met her, as she was going
forward in the wilderness, and bid her return to he

to Haran; and meeting with shepherds in the suburbs, with boys grown up,
and maidens sitting about a certain well, he staid with them, as wanting
water to drink; and beginning to discourse with them, he asked them whether
they knew such a one as Laban, and whether he was still alive. Now they
all said they knew him, for he was not so inconsiderable a person as to
be unknown to any of them; and that his daughter fed her father's flock
together with them; and that indeed they wondered that she was not yet
come, for by her means thou mightest learn more exactly whatever thou desirest
to know about that family. While they were saying this the damsel came,
and the other shepherds that came down along with her. Then they showed
her Jacob, and told her that he was a stranger, who came to inquire about
her father's affairs. But she, as pleased, after the custom of children,
with Jacob's coming, asked him who he was, and whence

Now while Jacob was astonished at the greatness of this act, and
was severely blaming his sons for it, God stood by him, and bid him be
of good courage; but to purify his tents, and to offer those sacrifices
which he had vowed to offer when he went first into Mesopotamia, and saw
his vision. As he was therefore purifying his followers, he lighted upon
the gods of Laban; (for he did not before know they were stolen by Rachel;)
and he hid them in the earth, under an oak, in Shechem. And departing thence,
he offered sacrifice at Bethel, the place where he saw his dream, when
he went first into Mesopotamia.
