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.
1 Abraão casou outra vez, com uma mulher chamada Quetura, e teve vários filhos: Zimrã, Jocsã, Medã, Midiã, Jisbaque e Suá.
3 Os filhos de Jocsã foram Sebá e Dedã. E os filhos de Dedã: Assurim, Letusim e Leumim.
4 Os filhos de Midiã foram Efá, Efer, Enoque, Abida e Elda.
5 Abraão deixou tudo quanto tinha a Isaque. No entanto deu dádivas aos filhos das concubinas, e mandou-os embora para as regiões orientais, longe de Isaque.
7 E morreu com 175 anos; foi sepultado junto dos outros membros da sua família. Os seus filhos Isaque e Ismael depositaram-no na cova de Macpela, perto de Mamre, no campo que comprara a Efrom, filho de Zoar, o heteu, onde já estava o corpo de Sara.
11 Depois da morte de Abraão, Deus abençoou muito Isaque, que habitava junto do oásis de Laai-roi .
12 Segue-se um relato dos descendentes de Ismael, filho de Abrahão e de Agar, a egípcia, criada da sua mulher Sara:
13 Nabaiote era o mais velho; depois Quedar, Adbeel, Mibsão, Misma, Dumá, Massá, Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Nafis, Quedmá.
16 Estes doze deram os seus nomes às comunidades segundo as quais as famílias deles se organizaram; ou seja, em acampamentos e em aldeamentos.
17 Ismael viveu 137 anos e foi sepultado junto dos corpos dos outros membros da família. Os seus descendentes espalharam-se desde Havila até Sur, que fica a noroeste do Egipto, na direcção da Assíria. E estavam constantemente em guerra uns com os outros.
19 E agora, o relato dos descendentes de Isaque, filho de Abrahão:
20 Isaque tinha 40 anos quando casou com Rebeca, filha de Betuel, o arameu de Padan-Arã, e irmã de Labão.
21 Isaque orou insistentemente para que Rebeca lhe desse um filho, pois que era estéril. O Senhor ouvia as suas orações, e por fim ficou grávida. Dois bebés como que lutavam dentro dela.Mas porque sou assim?, exclamava. E pediu ao Senhor que a esclarecesse.
23 E o Senhor disse-lhe: Os filhos que tens no teu seio tornar-se-ão dois grandes povos rivais. Um deles será mais forte. E o mais velho terá de submeter-se ao mais novo.
24 E quando se cumpriu o seu tempo teve dois gémeos. O primeiro ao nascer vinha tão cabeludo no corpo todo que até parecia estar envolvido numa manta de pele de animal. Então chamaram-lhe Esaú . O outro, ao nascer, vinha agarrado ao calcanhar do irmão. Por isso lhe puseram o nome de Jacob . Tinha Isaque 60 anos quando lhe nasceram estes dois gémeos.
27 Entretanto os meninos cresceram e tornaram-se homens, e Esaú fez-se um hábil caçador, enquanto que Jacob tinha um feitio sossegado, e preferia ficar em casa.
28 Isaque gostava muito de Esaú, porque a caça também era muito do seu gosto. Rebeca tinha uma predilecção especial por Jacob.
29 Um dia Jacob estava a preparar um guisado quando chegou Esaú, exausto de correr pelos campos à caça.
30 Deixa-me comer desse teu guisado apetitoso e vermelho que aí tens! Até foi por isso que lhe ficou a alcunha de Edom .
31 Está bem, disse Jacob. Mas em troca, dás-me o teu direito de filho mais velho.
32 De acordo. Porque, no fundo, para que me há-de servir isso se estou a desfalecer, quase a morrer!
33 Então jura-me diante de Deus que esse direito há-de ser meu!E Esaú jurou, vendendo assim o seu direito de filho primogénito ao irmão mais novo.
34 Jacob deu-lhe o guisado de lentilhas que estava a preparar, mais o acompanhamento. Esaú comeu, bebeu e foi-se embora indiferente à perda dos seus direitos de filho mais velho.
