As soon as Abram was come back into Canaan, he parted the land between
him and Lot, upon account of the tumultuous behavior of their shepherds,
concerning the pastures wherein they should feed their flocks. However,
he gave Lot his option, or leave, to choose which lands he would take;
and he took himself what the other left, which were the lower grounds at
the foot of the mountains; and he himself dwelt in Hebron, which is a city
seven years more ancient than Tunis of Egypt. But Lot possessed the land
of the plain, and the river Jordan, not far from the city of Sodom, which
was then a fine city, but is now destroyed, by the will and wrath of God,
the cause of which I shall show in its proper place hereafter.
THE DESTRUCTION OF THE SODOMITES BY THE ASSYRIAN WALL.

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 her

NOW Sarah died a little while after, having lived one hundred and twenty-seven
years. They buried her in Hebron; the Canaanites publicly allowing them
a burying-place; which piece of ground Abraham bought for four hundred
shekels, of Ephron, an inhabitant of Hebron. And both Abraham and his descendants
built themselves sepulchers in that place.

A LITTLE while after this Abraham died. He was a man of incomparable
virtue, and honored by God in a manner agreeable to his piety towards him.
The whole time of his life was one hundred seventy and five years, and
he was buried in Hebron, with his wife Sarah, by their sons Isaac and Ismael.
CONCERNING THE SONS OF ISAAC, ESAU AND JACOB; OF THEIR NATIVITY

And when he was gone thence, and was come over against Ephrata, he
there buried Rachel, who died in child-bed: she was the only one of Jacob's
kindred that had not the honor of burial at Hebron. And when he had mourned
for her a great while, he called the son that was born of her Benjamin,
Since Benoni signifies the son of my sorrow, and Benjamin the son of days,
or one born in the father's old age, Genesis 44:20, I suspect Josephus's
present copies to be here imperfect, and suppose that, in correspondence
to other copies, he wrote that Rachel called her son's name Benoni, but
his father called him Benjamin, Genesis 35:18. As for Benjamin, as commonly
explained, the son of the right hand, it makes no sense at all, and seems
to be a gross modern error only. The Samaritan always writes this name
truly Benjamin, which probably is here of the same signification, only
with the Chaldee termination in, instead of im in the Hebrew; as we pronounce
cherubin or cherubim indifferently. Accordingl

FROM thence Jacob came to Hebron, a city situate among the Canaanites;
and there it was that Isaac lived: and so they lived together for a little
while; for as to Rebeka, Jacob did not find her alive. Isaac also died
not long after the coming of his son; and was buried by his sons, with
his wife, in Hebron, where they had a monument belonging to them from their
forefathers. Now Isaac was a man who was beloved of God, and was vouchsafed
great instances of providence by God, after Abraham his fathy lived together for a little
while; for as to Rebeka, Jacob did not find her alive. Isaac also died
not long after the coming of his son; and was buried by his sons, with
his wife, in Hebron, where they had a monument belonging to them from their
forefathers. Now Isaac was a man who was beloved of God, and was vouchsafed
great instances of providence by God, after Abraham his father, and lived
to be exceeding old; for when he had lived virtuously one hundred and eighty-five
years, he then died.

AFTER the death of Isaac, his sons divided their habitations respectively;
nor did they retain what they had before; but Esau departed from the city
of Hebron, and left it to his brother, and dwelt in Seir, and ruled over
Idumea. He called the country by that name from himself, for he was named
Adom; which appellation he got on the following occasion : - One day returning
from the toil of hunting very hungry, (it was when he was a child in age,)
he lighted on his brother when he was getting ready lentile-pottage for
his dinner, which was of a very red color; on which account he the more
earnestly longed for it, and desired him to give him some of it to eat:
but he made advantage of his brother's hunger, and forced him to resign
up to him his birthright; and he, being pinched with famine, resigned it
up to him, under an oath. Whence it came, that, on account of the redness
of this pottage, he was, in way of jest, by his contemporaries, called
Adom, for the Hebrews call what is red Adom;
