Muerte de Abraham
25 Abraham tuvo otra esposa, llamada Queturá, 2 con la que tuvo los siguientes hijos:
Zimrán,
Jocsán,
Medán,
Madián,
Isbac,
Súah.
3 Jocsán fue el padre de Sebá y Dedán. Los descendientes de Dedán fueron los asureos, los letuseos y los leumeos.
4 Madián tuvo cinco hijos:
Efá,
Éfer,
Hanoc,
Abidá,
Eldaá.
Todos estos fueron descendientes de Queturá.
5-6 Mientras aún vivía, Abraham le dejó a su hijo Isaac todas sus riquezas, pero a los hijos de sus otras esposas les dio regalos y los apartó de Isaac, enviándolos al este.
7 Abraham vivió ciento setenta y cinco años, 8-10 y gozó de buena salud hasta el día en que murió. Sus hijos Isaac e Ismael lo enterraron junto a su esposa Sara en la cueva de Macpelá, que está cerca del bosque de Mamré. Abraham le había comprado esa cueva a Efrón.
11 Después de la muerte de Abraham, Dios bendijo a Isaac, quien entonces vivía cerca del manantial que se llama «Pozo del Dios que vive y todo lo ve».
Los hijos de Ismael
12-16 Ésta es la lista de los descendientes de Ismael, el hijo de Abraham y de Agar, la esclava egipcia de Sara. Éstos son los nombres de los doce jefes de las tribus de Ismael, por orden de nacimiento y en el orden de sus campamentos y territorios:
Nebaiot, que fue su hijo mayor;
Quedar,
Adbeel,
Mibsam,
Mismá,
Dumá,
Masá,
Hadar,
Temá,
Jetur,
Nafís,
Quedmá.
17 Ismael vivió ciento treinta y siete años, y al morir fue enterrado junto a sus antepasados. 18 Sus descendientes poblaron la región que va desde Havilá hasta Sur, cerca de la frontera de Egipto, en dirección a Asur, al otro lado de donde vivían sus parientes.
Historia de Isaac y Jacob (25.19—36.43)
Los hijos de Isaac: Jacob y Esaú
19 Ésta es la historia de Isaac. 20 Tenía Isaac cuarenta años cuando se casó con Rebeca, que era hija de Betuel y hermana de Labán, los arameos que vivían en Padán-aram.
21 Rebeca no podía tener hijos, así que Isaac le pidió a Dios por ella. Entonces Dios atendió a sus ruegos, y Rebeca quedó embarazada. 22 Ella se dio cuenta de que iba a tener mellizos porque los niños se peleaban dentro de ella. Por eso se quejó y dijo: «Dios mío, ¿por qué me pasa esto a mí?» 23 Y Dios le respondió:
«Tus hijos representan dos naciones.
Son dos pueblos separados
desde antes de nacer.
Uno de ellos será más fuerte,
y el otro será más débil,
pero el mayor servirá al menor.»
24 Cuando llegó el momento del nacimiento, 25 el primero en nacer tenía la piel rojiza y todo el cuerpo cubierto de pelo; por eso le pusieron por nombre Esaú. 26 Después de Esaú nació su hermano, al que llamaron Jacob[a] porque nació agarrado del talón de Esaú. Isaac tenía sesenta años cuando los niños nacieron.
27-28 Esaú llegó a ser un buen cazador y le encantaba estar en el campo. Por eso Isaac lo quería más. Jacob, en cambio, era muy tranquilo y prefería quedarse en casa, por eso Rebeca lo quería más que a Esaú.
29 Un día, Jacob estaba preparando un sabroso plato de comida. En eso llegó Esaú del campo con mucha hambre, 30 y le gritó:
—¡Me estoy muriendo de hambre! ¡Dame ya de esa sopa roja que estás cocinando!
Por eso a Esaú se le conoce también con el nombre de Edom.[b]
31 Jacob le respondió:
—Dame tus derechos de hijo mayor, y yo con gusto te daré de mi sopa.
32 Esaú exclamó:
—¡Te los regalo ahora mismo, pues me estoy muriendo de hambre!
33 Jacob le exigió a Esaú renunciar, bajo juramento, a sus derechos de hijo mayor. Esaú se lo juró, 34 y Jacob le dio un poco de pan y de la sopa de lentejas que estaba preparando. Esaú comió y bebió; luego se levantó y se fue sin darle importancia a sus derechos de hijo mayor.

The Death of Abraham(A)
25 Abraham had taken another wife, whose name was Keturah. 2 She bore him Zimran,(B) Jokshan, Medan, Midian,(C) Ishbak and Shuah.(D) 3 Jokshan was the father of Sheba(E) and Dedan;(F) the descendants of Dedan were the Ashurites, the Letushites and the Leummites. 4 The sons of Midian were Ephah,(G) Epher, Hanok, Abida and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.
5 Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.(H) 6 But while he was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines(I) and sent them away from his son Isaac(J) to the land of the east.(K)
7 Abraham lived a hundred and seventy-five years.(L) 8 Then Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age,(M) an old man and full of years; and he was gathered to his people.(N) 9 His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him(O) in the cave of Machpelah(P) near Mamre,(Q) in the field of Ephron(R) son of Zohar the Hittite,(S) 10 the field Abraham had bought from the Hittites.[a](T) There Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah. 11 After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac,(U) who then lived near Beer Lahai Roi.(V)
Ishmael’s Sons(W)
12 This is the account(X) of the family line of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Sarah’s slave, Hagar(Y) the Egyptian, bore to Abraham.(Z)
13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, listed in the order of their birth: Nebaioth(AA) the firstborn of Ishmael, Kedar,(AB) Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Dumah,(AC) Massa, 15 Hadad, Tema,(AD) Jetur,(AE) Naphish and Kedemah. 16 These were the sons of Ishmael, and these are the names of the twelve tribal rulers(AF) according to their settlements and camps.(AG) 17 Ishmael lived a hundred and thirty-seven years. He breathed his last and died, and he was gathered to his people.(AH) 18 His descendants(AI) settled in the area from Havilah to Shur,(AJ) near the eastern border of Egypt, as you go toward Ashur. And they lived in hostility toward[b] all the tribes related to them.(AK)
Jacob and Esau
19 This is the account(AL) of the family line of Abraham’s son Isaac.
Abraham became the father of Isaac, 20 and Isaac was forty years old(AM) when he married Rebekah(AN) daughter of Bethuel(AO) the Aramean from Paddan Aram[c](AP) and sister of Laban(AQ) the Aramean.(AR)
21 Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was childless.(AS) The Lord answered his prayer,(AT) and his wife Rebekah became pregnant. 22 The babies jostled each other within her, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So she went to inquire of the Lord.(AU)
23 The Lord said to her,
“Two nations(AV) are in your womb,
and two peoples from within you will be separated;
one people will be stronger than the other,
and the older will serve the younger.(AW)”
24 When the time came for her to give birth,(AX) there were twin boys in her womb.(AY) 25 The first to come out was red,(AZ) and his whole body was like a hairy garment;(BA) so they named him Esau.[d](BB) 26 After this, his brother came out,(BC) with his hand grasping Esau’s heel;(BD) so he was named Jacob.[e](BE) Isaac was sixty years old(BF) when Rebekah gave birth to them.
27 The boys grew up, and Esau became a skillful hunter,(BG) a man of the open country,(BH) while Jacob was content to stay at home among the tents. 28 Isaac, who had a taste for wild game,(BI) loved Esau, but Rebekah loved Jacob.(BJ)
29 Once when Jacob was cooking some stew,(BK) Esau came in from the open country,(BL) famished. 30 He said to Jacob, “Quick, let me have some of that red stew!(BM) I’m famished!” (That is why he was also called Edom.[f])(BN)
31 Jacob replied, “First sell me your birthright.(BO)”
32 “Look, I am about to die,” Esau said. “What good is the birthright to me?”
33 But Jacob said, “Swear(BP) to me first.” So he swore an oath to him, selling his birthright(BQ) to Jacob.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lentil stew.(BR) He ate and drank, and then got up and left.
So Esau despised his birthright.

25 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
2 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
6 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.
7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
8 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
15 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people.
18 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.
19 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:
20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
21 And Isaac intreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the Lord.
23 And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
