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.
Ābrahāms ņem par sievu Ketūru
(1L 1:32–33)1 Ābrahāms dzīvoja tālāk un apņēma sievu. Viņas vārds bija Ketūra. 2 Viņa tam dzemdēja Zimrānu un Jokšānu, un Medānu, un Midjānu, un Jišbāku, un Šūhu. 3 Jokšāns kļuva tēvs Šebam un Dedānam, un Dedāna dēli bija asīrieši, letūšieši un leumieši. 4 Un Midjāna dēli – Ēfa un Ēfers, un Hanohs, un Abīda, un Eldāa – visi šie ir Ketūras dēli. 5 Bet visu, kas Ābrahāmam bija, viņš atdeva Īzakam. 6 Kamēr Ābrahāms vēl bija dzīvs, savu blakussievu dēliem viņš deva dāvanas un aizsūtīja viņus projām no sava dēla Īzaka uz austrumiem, uz austrumu zemi.
Ābrahāma nāve
7 Šīs ir Ābrahāma dzīves gadu dienas, ko viņš dzīvoja, simts septiņdesmit pieci gadi. 8 Un Ābrahāms sataisījās un nomira krietnā vecumā – vecs un sāts savu dienu, un tika piepulcināts savai tautai. 9 Un viņa dēli Īzaks un Ismaēls viņu apglabāja Mahpēlas alā, hetieša Efrona, Cohara dēla, laukā, kas uz Mamres pusi, – 10 laukā, ko Ābrahāms nopirka no Hēta dēliem, – tur tika apglabāts Ābrahāms un viņa sieva Sāra. 11 Pēc Ābrahāma nāves Dievs svētīja viņa dēlu Īzaku, un Īzaks mita pie Beēr-Lahaj-Roī.
Ismaēla pēcnācēji
(1L 1:29–31)12 Šīs ir Ābrahāma dēla Ismaēla paaudzes – viņu Ābrahāmam dzemdēja Sāras kalpone ēģiptiete Hāgare. 13 Tā sauc Ismaēla dēlus pēc viņu vārdiem, pēc viņu paaudzēm – Ismaēla pirmdzimtais Nebājots, un Kēders, un Adbeēls, un Mibsāms, 14 un Mišma, un Dūma, un Masa, 15 un Hadads, un Tēma, un Jetūrs, un Nafīšs, un Kēdema, 16 šie ir Ismaēla dēli, un šie ir viņu vārdi pēc viņu ciemiem un viņu apmetnēm – divpadsmit vadoņi pēc viņu tautām. 17 Un šie ir Ismaēla dzīves gadi – simts trīsdesmit septiņi, un viņš sataisījās un nomira, un tika piepulcināts savai tautai. 18 Un viņi mita no Havīlas līdz Šūrai, kas ir pret Ēģipti, ejot uz Asīriju. Viņi mēdza uzbrukt visiem saviem brāļiem.
Ēsavs un Jēkabs
(Rm 9:10–12)19 Un šīs ir Ābrahāma dēla Īzaka paaudzes. Ābrahāms bija Īzaka tēvs. 20 Īzaks bija četrdesmit gadu vecs, kad viņš sev par sievu apņēma Rebeku, aramieša Betuēla meitu no Padān-Arāma, aramieša Lābana māsu. 21 Un Īzaks lūdza Kungu par savu sievu, jo viņa bija neauglīga, un Kungs viņu uzklausīja, un viņa sieva Rebeka kļuva grūta. 22 Un dēli cīkstējās viņas miesās, un viņa teica: “Ja tā – kam man tas ?!” Un viņa devās izjautāt Kungu. 23 Un Kungs viņai teica:
“Tavās miesās ir divas tautas,
no tava klēpja nošķirsies divas ciltis,
cilts par cilti būs stiprāka,
un vecākais kalpos jaunākajam!”
24 Un pienāca viņas diena dzemdēt, un redzi – viņas miesās dvīņi. 25 Pirmais iznāca laukā viss sarkans kā spalvainā kažokā, un viņa vārdu nosauca Ēsavs. 26 Un pēc tam iznāca Ēsava brālis, savā rokā sakampis Ēsava papēdi, un viņu nosauca par Jēkabu. Kad viņi piedzima, Īzaks bija sešdesmit gadu vecs.
27 Zēni auga, un Ēsavs pieprata medības, viņš bija lauku vīrs. Bet Jēkabs bija māju cilvēks, kas dzīvo teltīs. 28 Un Īzaks mīlēja Ēsavu, jo tam garšoja viņa medījumi, bet Rebeka mīlēja Jēkabu.
Ēsavs pārdod savu pirmdzimtību
(Ebr 12:16)29 Reiz, kad Jēkabs vārīja viru, no lauka noguris pārnāca Ēsavs. 30 Un Ēsavs teica Jēkabam: “Dod man rīt no šī sarkani sarkanā viruma, jo esmu pavisam bez spēka!” – tādēļ viņš tika saukts par Edomu . 31 Un Jēkabs teica: “Pārdod man vispirms savu pirmdzimtību!” 32 Ēsavs teica: “Re, man tāpat jāmirst, tad kam man šī pirmdzimtība?!” 33 Un Jēkabs teica: “Apzvēri man vispirms!” Un viņš zvērēja Jēkabam un pārdeva viņam savu pirmdzimtību. 34 Un Jēkabs deva Ēsavam maizi un lēcu viru, un viņš ēda un dzēra un cēlās un gāja – tā Ēsavs nonievāja pirmdzimtību.
