De dood van Abraham
25 1,2 Abraham hertrouwde met Ketura en zij werd de moeder van Zimran, Joksan, Medan, Midjan, Jisbak en Suach. 3 Joksans twee zonen heetten Seba en Dedan. De zonen van Dedan waren de Assurieten, de Letusieten en de Leümieten. 4 De zonen van Midjan waren Efa, Efer, Chanoch, Abida en Eldaä. 5 Abraham vermaakte zijn hele bezit aan Isaak. 6 De zonen van zijn andere vrouwen gaf hij geschenken en daarna stuurde hij hen weg naar het oosten, bij Isaak uit de buurt. 7,8 Toen stierf Abraham, hij was honderdvijfenzeventig jaar oud geworden. 9,10 Zijn zonen Isaak en Ismaël begroeven hem bij zijn vrouw Sara in de grot van Machpela, bij Mamre, in de grond die Abraham had gekocht van Efron, de zoon van de Hethiet Sochar.
11 Na Abrahams dood zegende God Isaak rijkelijk. Hij woonde bij de bron Lachai-Roï in de Negev.
12-15 Hier is een lijst, in volgorde van geboorte, van de zonen van Ismaël, de zoon van Abraham en Hagar, de Egyptische dienares van Sara: Nebajot, Kedar, Adbeël, Mibsam, Misma, Duma, Massa, Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Nafis en Kedema. 16 Deze twaalf zonen werden voorvaders van stammen, die hun namen droegen. 17 Ismaël stierf ten slotte op honderdzevenendertigjarige leeftijd. 18 Zijn nakomelingen woonden door het hele land verspreid, van Chawila tot Sur (dat ligt een stukje noordoostelijk van de Egyptische grens in de richting van Assur). De stammen van zijn nakomelingen lagen voortdurend met elkaar overhoop.
19 Dit is het verhaal van Isaak en zijn kinderen. 20 Isaak was veertig jaar toen hij trouwde met Rebekka, de dochter van de Arameeër Betuël uit Paddan-Aram, de zuster van Laban. 21 Isaak smeekte de Here of Hij Rebekka een kind wilde geven, want hoewel zij al vele jaren getrouwd waren, had zij nog steeds geen kind. De Here verhoorde het gebed en Rebekka werd zwanger. 22 Het leek wel alsof de kinderen in haar binnenste met elkaar vochten. ‘Dit kan ik niet langer verdragen,’ riep zij uit en zij vroeg de Here om raad.
23 Hij vertelde haar: ‘De zonen in uw baarmoeder zullen twee vijandige volken voortbrengen. De ene zal sterker zijn dan de andere, de oudste zal de dienaar van de jongste zijn!’ 24 En inderdaad, Rebekka beviel van een tweeling. 25 Het eerste kind dat werd geboren, was overdekt met rossig haar. Het leek wel alsof hij een haren mantel aan had! Daarom noemde zij hem Esau. 26 Direct daarna kwam het tweede kind ter wereld. Het hield zich stevig vast aan de hiel van Esau! Zij noemde hem Jakob. Isaak was zestig jaar bij de geboorte van de tweeling.
27 De jongens groeiden voorspoedig op. Esau werd een uitstekend jager. Jakob was een stille jongen die liever thuis zat. 28 Esau was Isaaks lieveling, omdat hij altijd wild mee naar huis nam. Rebekka had echter een zwak voor Jakob.
29 Op een dag kwam Esau thuis van de jacht. Hij was moe en trof Jakob aan, die bezig was linzenmoes te maken. 30 Esau zei: ‘Ik ben uitgehongerd. Geef mij eens wat van dat rode spul dat je daar hebt!’ (Zo kwam Esau aan zijn bijnaam Edom, wat ‘het rode’ betekent). 31 Jakob antwoordde: ‘Dat kun je krijgen, maar dan moet je mij wel je eerstgeboorterecht verkopen!’ 32 Esau zei daarop: ‘Wat heb je aan een eerstgeboorterecht als je omvalt van de honger? Daar kun je ook niet van eten. Je mag het hebben.’ 33 Jakob zei: ‘Zweer dan dat je het aan mij zult verkopen!’ Toen zwoer Esau het en stond zo alle rechten die hij als oudste zoon had, af aan Jakob. 34 Daarna gaf Jakob hem de linzenmoes en wat brood. Esau at en dronk en was meteen weer weg, zo weinig waarde hechtte hij aan zijn rechten als oudste zoon.

Morte di Abraamo
25 (A)Poi *Abraamo prese un'altra moglie, di nome Chetura. 2 Questa gli partorí Zimran, Iocsan, Medan, Madian, Isbac e Suac. 3 Iocsan generò Seba e Dedan. I figli di Dedan furono gli Assurim, i Letusim e i Leummim. 4 E i figli di Madian furono Efa, Efer, Anoc, Abida ed Eldaa. Tutti questi furono i figli di Chetura.
5 Abraamo diede tutto ciò che possedeva a *Isacco; 6 ma ai figli delle sue concubine fece dei doni e, mentre era ancora in vita, li mandò lontano da suo figlio Isacco, verso levante, nella terra d'Oriente.
7 La durata della vita d'Abraamo fu di centossettantacinque anni. 8 Poi Abraamo spirò in prospera vecchiaia, attempato e sazio di giorni, e fu riunito al suo popolo. 9 Isacco e *Ismaele, suoi figli, lo seppellirono nella grotta di Macpela nel campo di Efron, figlio di Soar, l'Ittita, di fronte a Mamre: 10 campo che Abraamo aveva comprato dai figli di Chet. Lí furono sepolti Abraamo e sua moglie *Sara.
11 Dopo la morte d'Abraamo, Dio benedisse suo figlio Isacco; e Isacco abitò presso il pozzo di Lacai-Roi.
Discendenti d'Ismaele
12 (B)Or questi sono i discendenti d'Ismaele, figlio d'Abraamo, che *Agar, l'Egiziana, serva di Sara, aveva partorito ad Abraamo.
13 Questi sono i nomi dei figli d'Ismaele, secondo le loro generazioni: Nebaiot, il primogenito d'Ismaele; poi Chedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Misma, Duma, Massa, 15 Adad, Tema, Ietur, Nafis e Chedma. 16 Questi sono i figli d'Ismaele e questi i loro nomi, secondo i loro villaggi e i loro accampamenti. Furono i dodici capi dei loro popoli.
17 Gli anni della vita d'Ismaele furono centotrentasette; poi morí, e fu riunito al suo popolo. 18 I suoi figli abitarono da Avila fino a Sur, che è di fronte all'Egitto, andando verso l'Assiria. Egli si era stabilito di fronte a tutti i suoi fratelli.
Discendenti d'Isacco
19 (C)Questi sono i discendenti d'Isacco, figlio d'Abraamo. 20 Abraamo generò Isacco; Isacco aveva quarant'anni quando prese per moglie *Rebecca, figlia di Betuel, l'*Arameo di Paddan-Aram[a], e sorella di Labano, l'Arameo. 21 Isacco implorò il Signore per sua moglie Rebecca, perché ella era sterile. Il Signore l'esaudí e Rebecca, sua moglie, concepí. 22 I bambini si urtavano nel suo grembo ed ella disse: «Se cosí è, perché vivo?» E andò a consultare il Signore. 23 Il Signore le disse: «Due nazioni sono nel tuo grembo e due popoli separati usciranno dal tuo seno. Uno dei due popoli sarà piú forte dell'altro, e il maggiore servirà il minore[b]». 24 Quando venne per lei il tempo di partorire, ecco che lei aveva due gemelli nel grembo. 25 Il primo che nacque era rosso e peloso come un mantello di pelo. Cosí fu chiamato *Esaú[c]. 26 Dopo nacque suo fratello, che con la mano teneva il calcagno di Esaú e fu chiamato *Giacobbe[d]. Isacco aveva sessant'anni quando Rebecca li partorí.
Esaú vende il suo diritto di primogenitura
27 (D)I due bambini crebbero; Esaú divenne un esperto cacciatore, un uomo di campagna, e Giacobbe un uomo tranquillo che se ne stava nelle tende. 28 Isacco amava Esaú, perché la cacciagione era di suo gusto. Rebecca invece amava Giacobbe.
29 Or mentre Giacobbe faceva cuocere una minestra, Esaú sopraggiunse dai campi, tutto stanco. 30 Esaú disse a Giacobbe: «Dammi per favore da mangiare un po' di questa minestra rossa, perché sono stanco». Perciò fu chiamato *Edom[e].
31 Giacobbe gli rispose: «Vendimi prima di tutto la tua *primogenitura». 32 Esaú disse: «Ecco, io sto morendo; a che mi serve la primogenitura?» 33 Giacobbe disse: «Prima, giuramelo». Esaú glielo giurò e vendette la sua primogenitura a Giacobbe. 34 Allora Giacobbe diede a Esaú del pane e della minestra di lenticchie. Egli mangiò e bevve; poi si alzò, e se ne andò. Fu in questo modo che Esaú disprezzò la primogenitura.

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.

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.
