1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. 2 And she bare 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 unto Isaac. 6 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country. 7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred threescore 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 dwelt by the well Lahai-roi.

12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bare unto 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 unto his people. 18 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.

19 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac: 20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian. 21 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated 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 enquire of the LORD. 23 And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy 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’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare 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 thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom. 31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy 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 sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.

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 Lemmiete.

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.
