Otros descendientes de Abraham
25 Abraham tomó otra mujer cuyo nombre era Quetura. 2 Ella le dio a luz a Zimrán, a Jocsán, a Medán, a Madián, a Isbac y a Súaj. 3 Jocsán engendró a Seba y a Dedán. Los hijos de Dedán fueron los asureos, los letusitas y los leumitas. 4 Los hijos de Madián fueron: Efa, Efer, Hanoc, Abida y Eldaa. Todos estos fueron hijos de Quetura.
5 Abraham dio a Isaac todo lo que tenía, 6 pero a los hijos de sus concubinas les dio obsequios. Y mientras él vivía, los apartó de su hijo Isaac, enviándolos al este, a la tierra del oriente.
Abraham es sepultado en Macpela
7 Los años de la vida de Abraham fueron ciento setenta y cinco. 8 Y falleció Abraham en buena vejez, anciano y lleno de años, y fue reunido a su pueblo. 9 Sus hijos Isaac e Ismael lo sepultaron en la cueva de Macpela, en el campo que perteneciera a Efrón hijo de Zojar el heteo, que está frente a Mamre, 10 campo que Abraham había comprado a los hijos de Het. Allí fue sepultado Abraham con Sara su mujer.
11 Sucedió después de la muerte de Abraham, que Dios bendijo a su hijo Isaac. Y habitaba Isaac junto al pozo de Beer-lajai-roí.
Descendientes de Ismael
12 Estos son los descendientes de Ismael hijo de Abraham, que le dio a luz Agar la egipcia, sierva de Sara. 13 Estos son los nombres de los hijos de Ismael, por sus nombres, según sus descendientes: El primogénito de Ismael fue Nebayot. Después nacieron Quedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Misma, Duma, Masá, 15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Nafis y Quedema. 16 Estos fueron los hijos de Ismael y sus nombres según sus aldeas y campamentos: doce jefes según sus naciones.
17 Los años de la vida de Ismael fueron ciento treinta y siete, y falleció y fue reunido a su pueblo. 18 Y sus descendientes habitaron desde Havila hasta Shur, que está frente a Egipto, en dirección de Asur.
Se estableció, pues, frente a todos sus hermanos[a].
Nacimiento de Esaú y de Jacob
19 Esta es la historia de Isaac hijo de Abraham. Abraham engendró a Isaac. 20 Isaac tenía cuarenta años cuando tomó por mujer a Rebeca hija de Betuel el arameo, de Padan-aram, y hermana de Labán el arameo.
21 Isaac rogó al SEÑOR por su mujer, que era estéril. El SEÑOR accedió a su ruego, y Rebeca su mujer concibió.
22 Como los hijos se empujaban dentro de ella, dijo:
—Si es así, ¿para qué he de vivir?
Ella fue a consultar al SEÑOR, 23 y el SEÑOR le dijo:
—Dos naciones hay en tu vientre, y dos pueblos que estarán separados desde tus entrañas. Un pueblo será más fuerte que el otro, y el mayor servirá al menor.
24 Cuando se cumplió el tiempo de dar a luz, he aquí que había mellizos en su vientre. 25 Y salió el primero, rojizo y todo velludo como una túnica de pieles, y llamaron su nombre Esaú[b]. 26 Después salió su hermano, con su mano asida al talón de Esaú, y llamaron su nombre Jacob[c]. Isaac tenía sesenta años de edad cuando ella los dio a luz.
Jacob compra la primogenitura de Esaú
27 Los niños crecieron, y Esaú llegó a ser experto en la caza, hombre del campo. Jacob, por su lado, era hombre tranquilo y solía permanecer en las tiendas. 28 Isaac prefería a Esaú, porque comía de su caza; pero Rebeca prefería a Jacob.
29 Cierto día Jacob preparó un guisado. Y cuando Esaú volvía del campo, cansado, 30 dijo a Jacob:
—Por favor, invítame a comer de ese guiso rojo[d], pues estoy muy cansado.
Por eso fue llamado su nombre Edom[e]. 31 Y Jacob respondió:
—Véndeme primero tu primogenitura.
32 Entonces Esaú dijo:
—He aquí que yo me voy a morir; ¿de qué, pues, me servirá la primogenitura?
33 Dijo Jacob:
—¡Júramelo ahora!
Él se lo juró y vendió a Jacob su primogenitura. 34 Entonces Jacob dio a Esaú pan y guisado de lentejas. Él comió y bebió, y levantándose, se fue. Así menospreció Esaú la primogenitura.

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.

Abraham and Keturah(A)
25 Abraham again took a wife, and her name was (B)Keturah. 2 And (C)she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. 3 Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. 4 And the sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5 And (D)Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac. 6 But Abraham gave gifts to the sons of the concubines which Abraham had; and while he was still living he (E)sent them eastward, away from Isaac his son, to (F)the country of the east.
Abraham’s Death and Burial
7 This is the sum of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived: one hundred and seventy-five years. 8 Then Abraham breathed his last and (G)died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and (H)was gathered to his people. 9 And (I)his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of (J)Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, 10 (K)the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth. (L)There Abraham was 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 at (M)Beer Lahai Roi.
The Families of Ishmael and Isaac(N)
12 Now this is the (O)genealogy of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham. 13 And (P)these were the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: The firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa, 15 [a]Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. 16 These were the sons of Ishmael and these were their names, by their towns and their [b]settlements, (Q)twelve princes according to their nations. 17 These were the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred and thirty-seven years; and (R)he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people. 18 (S)(They dwelt from Havilah as far as Shur, which is east of Egypt as you go toward Assyria.) He [c]died (T)in the presence of all his brethren.
19 This is the (U)genealogy of Isaac, Abraham’s son. (V)Abraham begot Isaac. 20 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah as wife, (W)the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan Aram, (X)the sister of Laban the Syrian. 21 Now Isaac pleaded with the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; (Y)and the Lord granted his plea, (Z)and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22 But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If all is well, why am I like this?” (AA)So she went to inquire of the Lord.
23 And the Lord said to her:
(AB)“Two nations are in your womb,
Two peoples shall be separated from your body;
One people shall be stronger than (AC)the other,
(AD)And the older shall serve the younger.”
24 So when her days were fulfilled for her to give birth, indeed there were twins in her womb. 25 And the first came out red. He was (AE)like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name [d]Esau. 26 Afterward his brother came out, and (AF)his hand took hold of Esau’s heel; so (AG)his name was called [e]Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
27 So the boys grew. And Esau was (AH)a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was (AI)a [f]mild man, (AJ)dwelling in tents. 28 And Isaac loved Esau because he (AK)ate of his game, (AL)but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Esau Sells His Birthright(AM)
29 Now Jacob cooked a stew; and Esau came in from the field, and he was weary. 30 And Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary.” Therefore his name was called [g]Edom.
31 But Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright as of this day.”
32 And Esau said, “Look, I am about to die; so (AN)what is this birthright to me?”
33 Then Jacob said, [h]“Swear to me as of this day.”
So he swore to him, and (AO)sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils; then (AP)he ate and drank, arose, and went his way. Thus Esau (AQ)despised his birthright.
