1 En Abraham het weer 'n vrou geneem met die naam van Ketura.
2 En sy het vir hom Simran en Joksan en Medan en M¡dian en Jisbak en Suag gebaar.
3 En Joksan was die vader van Skeba en Dedan; en die kinders van Dedan was die Assuriete, Letusiete en LeÂmmiete.
4 En die seuns van M¡dian was: Efa en Efer en Henog en Ab¡da en Elda„. Hulle almal was seuns van Ketura.
5 En Abraham het aan Isak alles gegee wat hy besit het,
6 maar aan die seuns van die byvroue van Abraham het Abraham geskenke gegee en hulle, nog by sy lewe, van sy seun Isak af oos laat wegtrek, na die Oosland.
7 En dit is die dae van die lewensjare van Abraham wat hy geleef het: honderd vyf en sewentig jaar.
8 Abraham het die asem uitgeblaas en in goeie ouderdom gesterwe, oud en afgeleef. En hy is by sy volksgenote versamel.
9 En sy seuns Isak en Ismael het hom begrawe in die spelonk van Magp,la, in die stuk grond van Efron, die seun van Sohar, die Hetiet, wat oos van Mamre lê,
10 die stuk grond wat Abraham van die seuns van Het gekoop het. Daar is Abraham begrawe en sy vrou Sara.
11 N die dood van Abraham het God sy seun Isak geseën; en Isak het gewoon by die put Lagai-Ro‹.
12 En dit is die stamboom van Ismael, die seun van Abraham, wat Hagar, die Egiptiese, die slavin van Sara, vir Abraham gebaar het --
13 dit is die name van die seuns van Ismael, hulle name volgens hulle afstamming: die eersgeborene van Ismael, N,bajot; dan Kedar en Adbeël en Mibsam
14 en Misma en Duma en Massa,
15 Hadad en Tema, Jetur, Nafis en Kedma.
16 Dit is die seuns van Ismael, en dit hulle name, in hulle dorpe en laers, twaalf vorste volgens hulle volkstamme.
17 En dit is die lewensjare van Ismael: honderd sewe en dertig jaar; en hy het die asem uitgeblaas en gesterwe, en hy is versamel by sy volksgenote.
18 En hulle het gewoon van H wila tot by Sur wat oos van Egipte lê in die rigting van Assur. Teenoor al sy broers het hy hom gevestig.
19 En dit is die geskiedenis van Isak, die seun van Abraham: Abraham was die vader van Isak.
20 En Isak was veertig jaar oud toe hy Rebekka, die dogter van B,tuel, die Arameër uit Paddan-Aram, die suster van Laban, die Arameër, vir hom as vrou geneem het.
21 En Isak het die HERE gesmeek met die oog op sy vrou, want sy was onvrugbaar; en die HERE het hom verhoor, sodat sy vrou Rebekka swanger geword het.
22 En die kinders het teen mekaar gestoot binne-in haar. Toe sê sy: As dit so gaan, waarvoor leef ek dan? Daarop het sy gegaan om die HERE te raadpleeg.
23 En die HERE het haar geantwoord: Twee nasies is in jou skoot, en twee volke sal van mekaar gaan uit jou liggaam; en die een volk sal sterker wees as die ander volk; en die oudste sal die jongste dien.
24 En toe haar dae vervul is dat sy moes baar, was daar 'n tweeling in haar skoot.
25 En die eerste is gebore -- rooi, geheel en al soos 'n mantel van hare. Daarom het hulle hom Esau genoem.
26 En daarna is sy broer gebore, terwyl sy hand die hakskeen van Esau vashou. Daarom het hulle hom Jakob genoem. En Isak was sestig jaar oud by hulle geboorte.
27 En die seuns het opgegroei: Esau het 'n ervare jagter geword, 'n man van die veld; maar Jakob was 'n vredeliewende man wat in tente gewoon het.
28 En Isak het Esau liefgehad, want wildsvleis was na sy smaak; maar Rebekka het Jakob liefgehad.
29 En Jakob het 'n kooksel klaargemaak en Esau het moeg uit die veld gekom.
30 Toe sê Esau vir Jakob: Laat my tog sluk van die rooigoed daar, want ek is moeg. Daarom het hulle hom Edom genoem.
31 En Jakob antwoord: Verkoop eers jou eersgeboortereg aan my.
32 En Esau sê: Kyk, ek gaan sterwe, en wat baat die eersgeboortereg my dan?
33 Toe antwoord Jakob: Sweer eers vir my. En hy het vir hom gesweer en sy eersgeboortereg aan Jakob verkoop.
34 En Jakob het aan Esau brood en die kooksel lensies gegee; en hy het geëet en gedrink en opgestaan en weggegaan. So het Esau dan sy eersgeboortereg verag.
1 And Abraham took another wife named Keturah.
2 She became the mother of Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah.
3 And Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. And from Dedan came the Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim.
4 And from Midian came Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the offspring of Keturah.
5 Now Abraham gave all his property to Isaac;
6 But to the sons of his other women he gave offerings, and sent them away, while he was still living, into the east country.
7 Now the years of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five.
8 And Abraham came to his death, an old man, full of years; and he was put to rest with his people.
9 And Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, put him to rest in the hollow rock of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, near Mamre;
10 The same field which Abraham got from the children of Heth: there Abraham was put to rest with Sarah, his wife.
11 Now after the death of Abraham, the blessing of God was with Isaac, his son.
12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whose mother was Hagar the Egyptian, the servant of Sarah:
13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their generations: Ishmael's first son was Nebaioth; then Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam
14 And Mishma and Dumah and Massa,
15 Hadad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names in their towns and their tent-circles; twelve chiefs with their peoples.
17 And the years of Ishmael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven: and he came to his end, and was put to rest with his people.
18 And their country was from Havilah to Shur which is east of Egypt: they took their place to the east of all their brothers.
19 Now these are the generations of Abraham's son Isaac:
20 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean of Paddan-aram, and the sister of Laban the Aramaean, to be his wife.
21 Isaac made prayer to the Lord for his wife because she had no children; and the Lord gave ear to his prayer, and Rebekah became with child.
22 And the children were fighting together inside her, and she said, If it is to be so, why am I like this? So she went to put her question to the Lord.
23 And the Lord said to her, Two nations are in your body, and two peoples will come to birth from you: the one will be stronger than the other, and the older will be the servant of the younger.
24 And when the time came for her to give birth, there were two children in her body.
25 And the first came out red from head to foot like a robe of hair, and they gave him the name of Esau.
26 And after him, his brother came out, gripping Esau's foot; and he was named Jacob: Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them.
27 And the boys came to full growth; and Esau became a man of the open country, an expert bowman; but Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.
28 Now Isaac's love was for Esau, because Esau's meat was greatly to his taste: but Rebekah had more love for Jacob.
29 And one day Jacob was cooking some soup when Esau came in from the fields in great need of food;
30 And Esau said to Jacob, Give me a full meal of that red soup, for I am overcome with need for food: for this reason he was named Edom.
31 And Jacob said, First of all give me your birthright.
32 And Esau said, Truly, I am at the point of death: what profit is the birthright to me?
33 And Jacob said, First of all give me your oath; and he gave him his oath, handing over his birthright to Jacob.
34 Then Jacob gave him bread and soup; and he took food and drink and went away, caring little for his birthright.
