Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. It had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

The firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth.

She said to her father, "Do not let my lord be angry that I can't rise up before you; for the manner of women is on me." He searched, but did not find the teraphim.

To his father, he sent after this manner: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way.
