Pa•danꞋ A•râmꞋ to Bᵊeir ShëvꞋa & Sin•aiꞋ |
Nearly 4 months after their caravan had departed, Avᵊrâ•hâmꞋ's CEO was nearing the end of his mission, bringing Ri•vᵊq•âh the 1,600 km, nearly 2-month one-way return journey, south from Khâ•rânꞋ to Bᵊeir ShëvꞋa.4
As they were finally approaching home, Yi•tzᵊkhâqꞋ knew that it was time to expect them back any day. Since he lived in the land of the NëgꞋëv, tending his herds and flocks had taken him to Bᵊeir la-KhaiꞋ Ro•iyꞋ, in the eastern Sinai.
So, while the caravan was traveling south, returning home from Pa•danꞋ A•râmꞋ to Bᵊeir ShëvꞋa, Yi•tzᵊkhâqꞋ, returning from the Sin•aiꞋ, traveled north to meet them in Bᵊeir ShëvꞋa.
Mi•dᵊbarꞋ Pa•ranꞋ in the Sin•aiꞋ |
Toward ërꞋëv, Yi•tzᵊkhâqꞋ, who arrived in Bᵊeir ShëvꞋa before the caravan from Pa•danꞋ A•râmꞋ, went out for a leisurely stroll in the field that the family had purchased from Ëphᵊr•onꞋ, located on the north side of Bᵊeir ShëvꞋa. As he strolled in the field near sundown, he spotted his family's approaching caravan.
From her camel in the caravan heading south to Bᵊeir ShëvꞋa, Ri•vᵊq•âh spotted him walking toward them to meet them. She dismounted from her camel and asked the CEO, "Who's the man in the field walking toward us to meet us?" And the CEO advised her, "That is a•don•iꞋ." So she took a veil and covered her face.
Then the CEO related to Yi•tzᵊkhâqꞋ all of the things he had done.
So Yi•tzᵊkhâqꞋ brought her into the tent of his late mother, SârꞋâh; and he took Ri•vᵊq•âh to be his wife, and he loved her. Thus, Yi•tzᵊkhâqꞋ was consoled after the death of his mother.
