Genèse 25
Segond 21
Mort d'Abraham
25 Abraham prit encore une femme du nom de Ketura. 2 Elle lui donna Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Madian, Jishbak et Shuach. 3 Jokshan eut pour fils Séba et Dedan. Les descendants de Dedan furent les Ashurim, les Letushim et les Leummim. 4 Les fils de Madian furent Epha, Epher, Hénoc, Abida et Eldaa. Tous ceux-là sont des descendants de Ketura.
5 Abraham donna tout ce qu’il possédait à Isaac. 6 Quant aux fils de ses concubines, il leur fit des cadeaux et il les envoya de son vivant loin de son fils Isaac, vers l'est, dans un pays d'Orient.
7 La durée de la vie d'Abraham fut de 175 ans, 8 puis il expira. Abraham mourut après une heureuse vieillesse, âgé et rassasié de jours, et il alla rejoindre les siens. 9 Ses fils Isaac et Ismaël l'enterrèrent dans la grotte de Macpéla, dans le champ du Hittite Ephron, fils de Tsochar, vis-à-vis de Mamré. 10 C'était le champ qu'Abraham avait acheté aux Hittites et c'est là que furent enterrés Abraham et sa femme Sara.
11 Après la mort d'Abraham, Dieu bénit son fils Isaac. Celui-ci s’installa près du puits de Lachaï-Roï.
Descendance d'Ismaël
12 Voici la lignée d'Ismaël, fils d'Abraham, celui que l'Egyptienne Agar, la servante de Sara, avait donné à Abraham.
13 Voici le nom des fils d'Ismaël, leur nom en fonction de leur lignée: Nebajoth, son fils aîné, Kédar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Duma, Massa, 15 Hadad, Théma, Jethur, Naphish et Kedma. 16 Voilà quels furent les fils d'Ismaël avec leur nom d’après leurs villages et leurs campements. Ils furent les douze chefs de leurs peuples.
17 La durée de la vie d'Ismaël fut de 137 ans, puis il expira. Il mourut et alla rejoindre les siens. 18 Ses descendants habitèrent le territoire situé entre Havila et Shur, qui est en face de l'Egypte, en direction de l'Assyrie. Il s'établit en face de tous ses frères.
Histoire d’Isaac 25.19–26.35
Naissance d’Esaü et Jacob
19 Voici la lignée d'Isaac, fils d'Abraham. Abraham eut pour fils Isaac. 20 Isaac était âgé de 40 ans quand il prit pour femme Rebecca, qui était la fille de Bethuel, l'Araméen de Paddan-Aram, et la sœur de Laban l'Araméen. 21 Isaac supplia l'Eternel pour sa femme, car elle était stérile, et l'Eternel l'exauça: sa femme Rebecca tomba enceinte. 22 Les enfants se heurtaient à l’intérieur d’elle et elle dit: «Si telle est la situation, pourquoi suis-je enceinte?» Elle alla consulter l'Eternel, 23 et l'Eternel lui dit: «Il y a deux nations dans ton ventre, et deux peuples issus de toi se sépareront. Un de ces peuples sera plus fort que l'autre, et *le plus grand sera asservi au plus petit[a].» 24 Le moment où elle devait accoucher arriva, et voici qu'il y avait des jumeaux dans son ventre. 25 Le premier sortit roux et tout couvert de poils, comme un manteau. On l'appela Esaü. 26 Ensuite sortit son frère, dont la main tenait le talon d'Esaü. On l'appela Jacob. Isaac était âgé de 60 ans à leur naissance.
27 Ces enfants grandirent. Esaü devint un habile chasseur, un homme de la campagne, alors que Jacob était un homme tranquille qui restait sous les tentes. 28 Isaac aimait Esaü parce qu'il lui amenait du gibier, et Rebecca aimait Jacob.
29 Tandis que Jacob faisait cuire un potage, Esaü revint des champs, accablé de fatigue. 30 Esaü dit à Jacob: «Laisse-moi manger de ce roux, de ce plat roux, car je suis fatigué.» C'est pour cela qu'on a donné à Esaü le nom d'Edom[b].
31 Jacob répondit: «Vends-moi aujourd'hui ton droit d'aînesse[c].» 32 Esaü répondit: «Je vais mourir. A quoi me sert ce droit d'aînesse?» 33 Jacob dit: «Jure-le-moi d'abord.» Il le lui jura, il vendit son droit d'aînesse à Jacob. 34 Alors Jacob donna du pain et du potage de lentilles à Esaü. Il mangea et but, puis se leva et s'en alla. C'est ainsi qu'Esaü méprisa le droit d'aînesse.

1 Mose 25
Luther Bibel 1545
25 Abraham nahm wieder ein Weib, die hieß Ketura.
2 Die gebar ihm Simran und Joksan, Medan und Midian, Jesbak und Suah.
3 Joksan aber zeugte Saba und Dedan. Die Kinder aber von Dedan waren: die Assuriter, die Letusiter und die Leumiter.
4 Die Kinder Midians waren: Epha, Epher, Henoch, Abida und Eldaa. Diese alle sind Kinder der Ketura.
5 Und Abraham gab all sein Gut Isaak.
6 Aber den Kindern, die er von den Kebsweibern hatte, gab er Geschenke und ließ sie von seinen Sohn Isaak ziehen, dieweil er noch lebte, gegen Aufgang in das Morgenland.
7 Das aber ist Abrahams Alter, das er gelebt hat: hundertfünfundsiebzig Jahre.
8 Und er nahm ab und starb in einem ruhigen Alter, da er alt und lebenssatt war, und ward zu seinem Volk gesammelt.
9 Und es begruben ihn die Söhne Isaak und Ismael in der zwiefachen Höhle auf dem Acker Ephrons, des Sohnes Zohars, des Hethiters, die da liegt Mamre gegenüber,
10 in dem Felde, das Abraham von den Kindern Heth gekauft hatte. Da ist Abraham begraben mit Sara, seinem Weibe.
11 Und nach dem Tode Abrahams segnete Gott Isaak, seinen Sohn. Und er wohnte bei dem Brunnen des Lebendigen und Sehenden.
12 Dies ist das Geschlecht Ismaels, des Sohnes Abrahams, den ihm Hagar gebar, die Magd Saras aus Ägypten;
13 und das sind die Namen der Kinder Ismaels, davon ihre Geschlechter genannt sind: der erstgeborene Sohn Ismaels, Nebajoth, -Kedar, Abdeel, Mibsam,
14 Misma, Duma, Massa,
15 Hadar, Thema, Jetur, Naphis und Kedma.
16 Dies sind die Kinder Ismaels mit ihren Namen in ihren Höfen und Zeltdörfern, zwölf Fürsten über ihre Leute.
17 Und das ist das Alter Ismaels: hundert und siebenunddreißig Jahre. Und er nahm ab und starb und ward gesammelt zu seinem Volk.
18 Und sie wohnten von Hevila an bis gen Sur vor Ägypten und bis wo man nach Assyrien geht. Er ließ sich aber nieder gegen alle seine Brüder.
19 Dies ist das Geschlecht Isaaks, des Sohnes Abrahams: Abraham zeugte Isaak.
20 Isaak aber war vierzig Jahre alt, da er Rebekka zum Weibe nahm, die Tochter Bethuels, des Syrers, von Mesopotamien, Labans, des Syrers Schwester.
21 Isaak aber bat den HERRN für sein Weib, denn sie war unfruchtbar. Und der HERR ließ sich erbitten, und Rebekka, sein Weib, ward schwanger.
22 Und die Kinder stießen sich miteinander in ihrem Leibe. Da sprach sie: Da mir's also sollte gehen, warum bin ich schwanger geworden? und sie ging hin, den HERRN zu fragen.
23 Und der HERR sprach zu ihr: Zwei Völker sind in deinem Leibe, und zweierlei Leute werden sich scheiden aus deinem Leibe; und ein Volk wird dem andern Überlegen sein, und der Ältere wird dem Jüngeren dienen.
24 Da nun die Zeit kam, daß sie gebären sollte, siehe, da waren Zwillinge in ihrem Leibe.
25 Der erste, der herauskam, war rötlich, ganz rauh wie ein Fell; und sie nannten ihn Esau.
26 Darnach kam heraus sein Bruder, der hielt mit seiner Hand die Ferse des Esau; und sie hießen ihn Jakob. Sechzig Jahre alt war Isaak, da sie geboren wurden.
27 Und da nun die Knaben groß wurden, ward Esau ein Jäger und streifte auf dem Felde, Jakob aber ein sanfter Mann und blieb in seinen Hütten.
28 Und Isaak hatte Esau lieb und aß gern von seinem Weidwerk; Rebekka aber hatte Jakob lieb.
29 Und Jakob kochte ein Gericht. Da kam Esau vom Felde und war müde
30 und sprach zu Jakob: Laß mich kosten das rote Gericht; denn ich bin müde. Daher heißt er Edom.
31 Aber Jakob sprach: Verkaufe mir heute deine Erstgeburt.
32 Esau antwortete: Siehe, ich muß doch sterben; was soll mir denn die Erstgeburt?
33 Jakob sprach: So schwöre mir heute. Und er schwur ihm und verkaufte also Jakob seine Erstgeburt.
34 Da gab ihm Jakob Brot und das Linsengericht, und er aß und trank und stand auf und ging davon. Also verachtete Esau seine Erstgeburt.
Genesis 25
New International Version
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.

New King James Version
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.
