Other Descendants of Abraham
(1 Chronicles 1.321 33)1 Abraham married another woman, whose name was Keturah. 2 She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. 3 Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan, and the descendants of Dedan were the Asshurim, the Letushim, and the Leummim. 4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were Keturah's descendants.
5 Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac; 6 but while he was still alive, he gave presents to the sons his other wives had borne him. Then he sent these sons to the land of the East, away from his son Isaac.
The Death and Burial of Abraham
7-8 Abraham died at the ripe old age of 175. 9 His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in Machpelah Cave, in the field east of Mamre that had belonged to Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite. 10 It was the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites; both Abraham and his wife Sarah were buried there. 11 After the death of Abraham, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near “The Well of the Living One Who Sees Me.”
The Descendants of Ishmael
(1 Chronicles 1.28-31)12 Ishmael, whom Hagar, the Egyptian slave of Sarah, bore to Abraham, 13 had the following sons, listed in the order of their birth: Nebaioth, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa, 15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. 16 They were the ancestors of twelve tribes, and their names were given to their villages and camping places. 17 Ishmael was 137 years old when he died. 18 The descendants of Ishmael lived in the territory between Havilah and Shur, to the east of Egypt on the way to Assyria. They lived apart from the other descendants of Abraham.
The Birth of Esau and Jacob
19 This is the story of Abraham's son Isaac. 20 Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebecca, the daughter of Bethuel (an Aramean from Mesopotamia) and sister of Laban. 21 Because Rebecca had no children, Isaac prayed to the Lord for her. The Lord answered his prayer, and Rebecca became pregnant. 22 She was going to have twins, and before they were born, they struggled against each other in her womb. She said, “Why should something like this happen to me?” So she went to ask the Lord for an answer.
23 The Lord said to her,
“Two nations are within you;
You will give birth to two rival peoples.
One will be stronger than the other;
The older will serve the younger.”
24 The time came for her to give birth, and she had twin sons. 25 The first one was reddish, and his skin was like a hairy robe, so he was named Esau. 26 The second one was born holding on tightly to the heel of Esau, so he was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.
Esau Sells His Rights as the First-Born Son
27 The boys grew up, and Esau became a skilled hunter, a man who loved the outdoors, but Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home. 28 Isaac preferred Esau, because he enjoyed eating the animals Esau killed, but Rebecca preferred Jacob.
29 One day while Jacob was cooking some bean soup, Esau came in from hunting. He was hungry 30 and said to Jacob, “I'm starving; give me some of that red stuff.” (That is why he was named Edom. )
31 Jacob answered, “I will give it to you if you give me your rights as the first-born son.”
32 Esau said, “All right! I am about to die; what good will my rights do me?”
33 Jacob answered, “First make a vow that you will give me your rights.”
Esau made the vow and gave his rights to Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave him some bread and some of the soup. He ate and drank and then got up and left. That was all Esau cared about his rights as the first-born son.
1 Ābrahāms atkal no jauna ņēma sev sievu, tās vārds bija Ketūra.
2 Un tā viņam dzemdēja Zimranu, Jokšanu un Medaanu un Midianu, Jisbaku un Suachu.
3 Bet Jokšans dzemdināja Sebu un Dedanu, un Dedana pēcnācēji bija asurieši, letusieši un leumieši.
4 Bet Midiana bērni ir: Eifa un Efers, Hanochs, Abida un Ēlda; visi tie ir Ketūras dzimuma.
5 Un Ābrahāms nodeva visu, kas tam bija, īzākam.
6 Bet blakussievu bērniem, kas Ābrahāmam bija, Ābrahāms izdalīja dāvanas. Un viņš, vēl dzīvs būdams, šķīra tos no īzāka, aizsūtīdams viņus austrumu virziena uz Austrumu zemi.
7 Šādi ir Ābrahāma mūža gadi: viņš piedzīvoja simts septiņdesmit piecus gadus.
8 Un viņš aizmiga un nomira lielā vecumā, pēc nodzīvotas dzīves, sirmgalvis būdams, un tika piepulcināts saviem tēviem.
9 Un īzāks un Ismaēls, viņa dēli, viņu apglabāja Makpelas alā, kas atrodas hetieša Efrona, Zochāra dēla, tīrumā pretim Mamrei.
10 Tīrumā, kuru Ābrahāms bija pircis no Heta pēcnācējiem, Ābrahāms tika apglabāts, un arī Sāra, viņa sieva.
11 Un notika, ka pēc Ābrahāma nāves Dievs svētīja īzāku, viņa dēlu, un īzāks apmetās pie Lechaj-roi avota.
12 Šie ir Ābrahāma dēla Ismaēla ciltsraksti; viņu Ābrahāmam dzemdēja Hagara, Sāras ēģiptiešu kalpone.
13 Šie ir Ismaēla dēlu vārdi secībā pēc viņu ciltīm; Ismaēla vecākais dēls Nebajots, Kēdars, Adbels un Mibsāms,
14 Misma, Dūma un Masa,
15 Chādads, Tema, Jeturs, Nafiss un Kedma.
16 Tie ir Ismaēla dēli, un tie ir viņu vārdi pēc viņu sētām un nometnēm: divpadsmit virsaiši pēc viņu ciltīm.
17 Un šādi ir Ismaēla mūža gadi: simts trīsdesmit septiņi gadi, un viņš aizmiga, nomira un tika piepulcināts saviem tēviem.
18 Un viņš mita no Chavilas līdz Sūrai, kas ir uz rītiem no Ēģiptes ceļā uz Asuru, iepretim visiem saviem brāļiem viņš bija apmeties.
19 Šie ir Ābrahāma dēla īzāka ciltsraksti: Ābrahāms dzemdināja īzāku.
20 Un īzakam bija četrdesmit gadi, kad viņš dabūja par sievu Rebeku no Mezopotamijas, aramieša Betuēla meitu, aramieša Lābana māsu.
21 Un īzāks savas sievas dēļ stipri pielūdza Dievu, jo tā bija neauglīga, un Dievs ļāvās pielūgties, un viņa sieva Rebeka kļuva grūta.
22 Un divi bērni rozījās viņas miesās, un viņa sacīja: „Vai tam tā būt? Kāpēc gan man tā notiek?“
23 Un tas Kungs viņai atbildēja: „Divi tautas ir tavā klēpī, un divi ciltis izraisīsies no tavām miesām. Un cilts sacentīsies ar cilti varas dēļ, un vecākais kalpos jaunākajam.“
24 Un kad viņas dienas piepildījās, lai tā dzemdētu, tad tiešām dvīņi bija tās klēpi.
25 Tad pirmais iznāca, viss sarkans kā spalvains mētelis, tāpēc to nosauca vārdā Ēzavs.
26 Bet viņa brālis tam sekoja, un viņa roka bija satvērusi Ēzava papēdi, tāpēc viņa vārdu nosauca Jēkabs; un īzaks bija, tiem dzimstot, sešdesmit gadus vecs.
27 Un kad bērni pieauga, tad Ēzavs kļuva liels mednieks, lauku cilvēks, bet Jēkabs bija klusas dabas vīrs un mājoja teltīs.
28 Un īzāks iemīlēja Ezavu, jo medījumi bija pēc viņa garšas, bet Rebeka vairāk mīlēja Jēkabu.
29 Un Jēkabs bija izvārījis viru, bet Ēzavs nāca no tīruma un bija izsalcis.
30 Un Ēzavs sacīja Jēkabam: „Ļauj man ēst no tā sarkanā, tā sarkanā viruma, jo es esmu izsalcis,“ tāpēc to dēvē par Ēdomu.
31 Tad Jēkabs atbildēja: „Pārdod man papriekš savu pirmdzimtību.“
32 Un Ēzavs sacīja: „Man tā kā tā jāmirst, ko man tur līdz pirmdzimtība?“
33 Un Jēkabs sacīja: „Zvēri man papriekš.“ Tad viņš zvērēja un pārdeva Jēkabam savu pirmdzimtību.
34 Bet Jēkabs cēla Ēzavam priekšā maizi un lēcu virumu, un tas ēda, un dzēra, un cēlās, un aizgāja. Tā Ēzavs nicināja savu pirmdzimtību.
