1 Desposou Abraão outra mulher; chamava-se Quetura. 2 Ela lhe deu à luz a Zinrã, Jocsã, Medã, Midiã, Isbaque e Suá. 3 Jocsã gerou a Seba e a Dedã; os filhos de Dedã foram: Assurim, Letusim e Leumim. 4 Os filhos de Midiã foram: Efá, Efer, Enoque, Abida e Elda. Todos estes foram filhos de Quetura. 5 Abraão deu tudo o que possuía a Isaque. 6 Porém, aos filhos das concubinas que tinha, deu ele presentes e, ainda em vida, os separou de seu filho Isaque, enviando-os para a terra oriental.

7 Foram os dias da vida de Abraão cento e setenta e cinco anos. 8 Expirou Abraão; morreu em ditosa velhice, avançado em anos; e foi reunido ao seu povo. 9 Sepultaram-no Isaque e Ismael, seus filhos, na caverna de Macpela, no campo de Efrom, filho de Zoar, o heteu, fronteiro a Manre, 10 o campo que Abraão comprara aos filhos de Hete. Ali foi sepultado Abraão e Sara, sua mulher. 11 Depois da morte de Abraão, Deus abençoou a Isaque, seu filho; Isaque habitava junto a Beer-Laai-Roi.

12 São estas as gerações de Ismael, filho de Abraão, que Agar, egípcia, serva de Sara, lhe deu à luz. 13 E estes, os filhos de Ismael, pelos seus nomes, segundo o seu nascimento: o primogênito de Ismael foi Nebaiote; depois, Quedar, Abdeel, Mibsão, 14 Misma, Dumá, Massá, 15 Hadade, Tema, Jetur, Nafis e Quedemá. 16 São estes os filhos de Ismael, e estes, os seus nomes pelas suas vilas e pelos seus acampamentos: doze príncipes de seus povos. 17 E os anos da vida de Ismael foram cento e trinta e sete; e morreu e foi reunido ao seu povo. 18 Habitaram desde Havilá até Sur, que olha para o Egito, como quem vai para a Assíria. Ele se estabeleceu fronteiro a todos os seus irmãos.

19 São estas as gerações de Isaque, filho de Abraão. Abraão gerou a Isaque; 20 era Isaque de quarenta anos, quando tomou por esposa a Rebeca, filha de Betuel, o arameu de Padã-Arã, e irmã de Labão, o arameu. 21 Isaque orou ao Senhor por sua mulher, porque ela era estéril; e o Senhor lhe ouviu as orações, e Rebeca, sua mulher, concebeu. 22 Os filhos lutavam no ventre dela; então, disse: Se é assim, por que vivo eu? E consultou ao Senhor. 23 Respondeu-lhe o Senhor:

Duas nações há no teu ventre,

dois povos, nascidos de ti, se dividirão:

um povo será mais forte que o outro,

e o mais velho servirá ao mais moço.

24 Cumpridos os dias para que desse à luz, eis que se achavam gêmeos no seu ventre. 25 Saiu o primeiro, ruivo, todo revestido de pelo; por isso, lhe chamaram Esaú. 26 Depois, nasceu o irmão; segurava com a mão o calcanhar de Esaú; por isso, lhe chamaram Jacó. Era Isaque de sessenta anos, quando Rebeca lhos deu à luz.

27 Cresceram os meninos. Esaú saiu perito caçador, homem do campo; Jacó, porém, homem pacato, habitava em tendas. 28 Isaque amava a Esaú, porque se saboreava de sua caça; Rebeca, porém, amava a Jacó.

29 Tinha Jacó feito um cozinhado, quando, esmorecido, veio do campo Esaú 30 e lhe disse: Peço-te que me deixes comer um pouco desse cozinhado vermelho, pois estou esmorecido. Daí chamar-se Edom. 31 Disse Jacó: Vende-me primeiro o teu direito de primogenitura. 32 Ele respondeu: Estou a ponto de morrer; de que me aproveitará o direito de primogenitura? 33 Então, disse Jacó: Jura-me primeiro. Ele jurou e vendeu o seu direito de primogenitura a Jacó. 34 Deu, pois, Jacó a Esaú pão e o cozinhado de lentilhas; ele comeu e bebeu, levantou-se e saiu. Assim, desprezou Esaú o seu direito de primogenitura.

1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.

2 And she bore 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 to Isaac.

6 But to the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, to the east country.

7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham' life which he lived, an hundred three score 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 dwelled by the well Lahairoi.

12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham' son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah' handmaid, bore to 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 to his people.

18 And they dwelled from Havilah to Shur, that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brothers.

19 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham' 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 entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated 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 inquire of the LORD.

23 And the LORD said to her, Two nations are in your womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from your 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' heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was three score years old when she bore 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 you, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.

31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day your 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 swore to him: and he sold his birthright to Jacob.

34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
