Abraham admonishes his sons and his sons' sons to work righteousness, observe circumcision, and refrain from impurity and idolatry, 1-10. Dismisses them with gifts, 11. Dwelling-places of the Ishmaelites and of the sons of Keturah, 12-13. (Cf. Gen. xxv. 5-6.)
[Chapter 20]
Lest ye make our name a curse, And your whole life a hissing,
And all your sons to be destroyed by the sword, And ye become accursed like Sodom, And all your remnant as the sons of Gomorrah.
And walk not after their idols, and after their uncleannesses,
For they are vanity, And there is no spirit in them;
For they are work of (men's) hands, And all who trust in them, trust in nothing.
That He may have pleasure in you and grant you His mercy, And send rain upon you morning and evening,
And bless all your works which ye have wrought upon the earth, And bless thy bread and thy water,
And bless the fruit of thy womb and the fruit of thy land, And the herds of thy cattle, and the flocks of thy sheep.
And bless your sons in my name, That they may be blessed as I am.
