The Book of Jasher 77

¹🔗ow therefore here is thy wife, take her and go from our land lest we all die on her account. And Pharaoh took more cattle, men servants and maid servants, and silver and gold, to give to Abram, and he returned unto him Sarai his wife.

²🔗 And the king took a maiden whom he begat by his concubines, and he gave her to Sarai for a handmaid.

³🔗 And the king said to his daughter, It is better for thee my daughter to be a handmaid in this man's house than to be mistress in my house, after we have beheld the evil that befell us on account of this woman.

⁴🔗 And Abram arose, and he and all belonging to him went away from Egypt; and Pharaoh ordered some of his men to accompany him and all that went with him.

⁵🔗 And Abram returned to the land of Canaan, to the place where he had made the altar, where he at first had pitched his tent.

⁶🔗 And Lot the son of Haran, Abram's brother, had a heavy stock of cattle, flocks and herds and tents, for the Lord was bountiful to them on account of Abram.

⁷🔗 And when Abram was dwelling in the land the herdsmen of Lot quarrelled with the herdsmen of Abram, for their property was too great for them to remain together in the land, and the land could not bear them on account of their cattle.

⁸🔗 And when Abram's herdsmen went to feed their flock they would not go into the fields of the people of the land, but the cattle of Lot's herdsmen did otherwise, for they were suffered to feed in the fields of the people of the land.

⁹🔗 And the people of the land saw this occurrence daily, and they came to Abram and quarrelled with him on account of Lot's herdsmen. 39.
