1 Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah. 2 She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. 3 Jokshan became the father of Sheba, and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. 4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. 5 Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac, 6 but Abraham gave gifts to the sons of Abraham’s concubines. While he still lived, he sent them away from Isaac his son, eastward, to the east country. 7 These are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived: one hundred seventy-five years. 8 Abraham gave up his spirit, and died at a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people. 9 Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is near Mamre, 10 the field which Abraham purchased from the children of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah, his wife. 11 After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac, his son. Isaac lived by Beer Lahai Roi.

12 Now this is the history of the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to Abraham. 13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to the order of their birth: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa, 15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. 16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments: twelve princes, according to their nations. 17 These are the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred thirty-seven years. He gave up his spirit and died, and was gathered to his people. 18 They lived from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria. He lived opposite all his relatives.

19 This is the history of the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham became the father of Isaac. 20 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife. 21 Isaac entreated Yahweh for his wife, because she was barren. Yahweh was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22 The children struggled together within her. She said, "If it is like this, why do I live?" She went to inquire of Yahweh. 23 Yahweh said to her,

"Two nations are in your womb.

Two peoples will be separated from your body.

The one people will be stronger than the other people.

The elder will serve the younger."

24 When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25 The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau. 26 After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel. He was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

27 The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents. 28 Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate his venison. Rebekah loved Jacob. 29 Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished. 30 Esau said to Jacob, "Please feed me with some of that red stew, for I am famished." Therefore his name was called Edom.

31 Jacob said, "First, sell me your birthright."

32 Esau said, "Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?"

33 Jacob said, "Swear to me first."

He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So 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.
