1Now Abraham had taken another wife, whose name was Keturah,1וַיֹּ֧סֶף אַבְרָהָ֛ם וַיִּקַּ֥ח אִשָּׁ֖ה וּשְׁמָ֥הּ קְטוּרָֽה׃
2and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. 2וַתֵּ֣לֶד ל֗וֹ אֶת־ זִמְרָן֙ וְאֶת־ יָקְשָׁ֔ן וְאֶת־ מְדָ֖ן וְאֶת־ מִדְיָ֑ן וְאֶת־ יִשְׁבָּ֖ק וְאֶת־ שֽׁוּחַ׃
3Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan. Dedan's sons were the Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. 3וְיָקְשָׁ֣ן יָלַ֔ד אֶת־ שְׁבָ֖א וְאֶת־ דְּדָ֑ן וּבְנֵ֣י דְדָ֔ן הָי֛וּ אַשּׁוּרִ֥ם וּלְטוּשִׁ֖ים וּלְאֻמִּֽים׃
4And Midian's sons were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were sons of Keturah. 4וּבְנֵ֣י מִדְיָ֗ן עֵיפָ֤ה וָעֵ֙פֶר֙ וַחֲנֹ֔ךְ וַאֲבִידָ֖ע וְאֶלְדָּעָ֑ה כָּל־ אֵ֖לֶּה בְּנֵ֥י קְטוּרָֽה׃
5Abraham gave everything he owned to Isaac.5וַיִּתֵּ֧ן אַבְרָהָ֛ם אֶת־ כָּל־ אֲשֶׁר־ ל֖וֹ לְיִצְחָֽק׃
6And Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines, but while he was still alive he sent them eastward, away from his son Isaac, to the land of the East. 6וְלִבְנֵ֤י הַפִּֽילַגְשִׁים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לְאַבְרָהָ֔ם נָתַ֥ן אַבְרָהָ֖ם מַתָּנֹ֑ת וַֽיְשַׁלְּחֵ֞ם מֵעַ֨ל יִצְחָ֤ק בְּנוֹ֙ בְּעוֹדֶ֣נּוּ חַ֔י קֵ֖דְמָה אֶל־ אֶ֥רֶץ קֶֽדֶם׃
7This is the length of Abraham's life: 175 years. 7וְאֵ֗לֶּה יְמֵ֛י שְׁנֵֽי־ חַיֵּ֥י אַבְרָהָ֖ם אֲשֶׁר־ חָ֑י מְאַ֥ת שָׁנָ֛ה וְשִׁבְעִ֥ים שָׁנָ֖ה וְחָמֵ֥שׁ שָׁנִֽים׃
8He took his last breath and died at a ripe old age, old and contented, and he was gathered to his people.8וַיִּגְוַ֨ע וַיָּ֧מָת אַבְרָהָ֛ם בְּשֵׂיבָ֥ה טוֹבָ֖ה זָקֵ֣ן וְשָׂבֵ֑עַ וַיֵּאָ֖סֶף אֶל־ עַמָּֽיו׃
9His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite. 9וַיִּקְבְּר֨וּ אֹת֜וֹ יִצְחָ֤ק וְיִשְׁמָעֵאל֙ בָּנָ֔יו אֶל־ מְעָרַ֖ת הַמַּכְפֵּלָ֑ה אֶל־ שְׂדֵ֞ה עֶפְרֹ֤ן בֶּן־ צֹ֙חַר֙ הַֽחִתִּ֔י אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־ פְּנֵ֥י מַמְרֵֽא׃
10This was the field that Abraham bought from the Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah. 10הַשָּׂדֶ֛ה אֲשֶׁר־ קָנָ֥ה אַבְרָהָ֖ם מֵאֵ֣ת בְּנֵי־ חֵ֑ת שָׁ֛מָּה קֻבַּ֥ר אַבְרָהָ֖ם וְשָׂרָ֥ה אִשְׁתּֽוֹ׃
11After Abraham's death, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near Beer-lahai-roi. 11וַיְהִ֗י אַחֲרֵי֙ מ֣וֹת אַבְרָהָ֔ם וַיְבָ֥רֶךְ אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֶת־ יִצְחָ֣ק בְּנ֑וֹ וַיֵּ֣שֶׁב יִצְחָ֔ק עִם־ בְּאֵ֥ר לַחַ֖י רֹאִֽי׃ ס
12These are the family records of Abraham's son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's slave, bore to Abraham. 12וְאֵ֛לֶּה תֹּלְדֹ֥ת יִשְׁמָעֵ֖אל בֶּן־ אַבְרָהָ֑ם אֲשֶׁ֨ר יָלְדָ֜ה הָגָ֧ר הַמִּצְרִ֛ית שִׁפְחַ֥ת שָׂרָ֖ה לְאַבְרָהָֽם׃
13These are the names of Ishmael's sons; their names according to the family records are: Nebaioth, Ishmael's firstborn, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 13וְאֵ֗לֶּה שְׁמוֹת֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׁמָעֵ֔אל בִּשְׁמֹתָ֖ם לְתוֹלְדֹתָ֑ם בְּכֹ֤ר יִשְׁמָעֵאל֙ נְבָיֹ֔ת וְקֵדָ֥ר וְאַדְבְּאֵ֖ל וּמִבְשָֽׂם׃
14Mishma, Dumah, Massa, 14וּמִשְׁמָ֥ע וְדוּמָ֖ה וּמַשָּֽׂא׃
15Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. 15חֲדַ֣ד וְתֵימָ֔א יְט֥וּר נָפִ֖ישׁ וָקֵֽדְמָה׃
16These are Ishmael's sons, and these are their names by their villages and encampments: 12 leaders of their clans.16אֵ֣לֶּה הֵ֞ם בְּנֵ֤י יִשְׁמָעֵאל֙ וְאֵ֣לֶּה שְׁמֹתָ֔ם בְּחַצְרֵיהֶ֖ם וּבְטִֽירֹתָ֑ם שְׁנֵים־ עָשָׂ֥ר נְשִׂיאִ֖ם לְאֻמֹּתָֽם׃
17This is the length of Ishmael's life: 137 years. He took his last breath and died, and was gathered to his people. 17וְאֵ֗לֶּה שְׁנֵי֙ חַיֵּ֣י יִשְׁמָעֵ֔אל מְאַ֥ת שָׁנָ֛ה וּשְׁלֹשִׁ֥ים שָׁנָ֖ה וְשֶׁ֣בַע שָׁנִ֑ים וַיִּגְוַ֣ע וַיָּ֔מָת וַיֵּאָ֖סֶף אֶל־ עַמָּֽיו׃
18And they settled from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt as you go toward Asshur. He lived in opposition to all his brothers. 18וַיִּשְׁכְּנ֨וּ מֵֽחֲוִילָ֜ה עַד־ שׁ֗וּר אֲשֶׁר֙ עַל־ פְּנֵ֣י מִצְרַ֔יִם בֹּאֲכָ֖ה אַשּׁ֑וּרָה עַל־ פְּנֵ֥י כָל־ אֶחָ֖יו נָפָֽל׃ פ
19These are the family records of Isaac son of Abraham. Abraham fathered Isaac.19וְאֵ֛לֶּה תּוֹלְדֹ֥ת יִצְחָ֖ק בֶּן־ אַבְרָהָ֑ם אַבְרָהָ֖ם הוֹלִ֥יד אֶת־ יִצְחָֽק׃
20Isaac was 40 years old when he took as his wife Rebekah daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and sister of Laban the Aramean.20וַיְהִ֤י יִצְחָק֙ בֶּן־ אַרְבָּעִ֣ים שָׁנָ֔ה בְּקַחְתּ֣וֹ אֶת־ רִבְקָ֗ה בַּת־ בְּתוּאֵל֙ הָֽאֲרַמִּ֔י מִפַּדַּ֖ן אֲרָ֑ם אֲח֛וֹת לָבָ֥ן הָאֲרַמִּ֖י ל֥וֹ לְאִשָּֽׁה׃
21Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife because she was childless. The LORD heard his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived.21וַיֶּעְתַּ֨ר יִצְחָ֤ק לַֽיהוָה֙ לְנֹ֣כַח אִשְׁתּ֔וֹ כִּ֥י עֲקָרָ֖ה הִ֑וא וַיֵּעָ֤תֶר לוֹ֙ יְהוָ֔ה וַתַּ֖הַר רִבְקָ֥ה אִשְׁתּֽוֹ׃
22But the children inside her struggled with each other, and she said, "Why is this happening to me?" So she went to inquire of the LORD.22וַיִּתְרֹֽצֲצ֤וּ הַבָּנִים֙ בְּקִרְבָּ֔הּ וַתֹּ֣אמֶר אִם־ כֵּ֔ן לָ֥מָּה זֶּ֖ה אָנֹ֑כִי וַתֵּ֖לֶךְ לִדְרֹ֥שׁ אֶת־ יְהוָֽה׃
23And the LORD said to her: Two nations are in your womb; two people will come from you and be separated. One people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger. 23וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה לָ֗הּ שְׁנֵ֤י [גיים] (גוֹיִם֙) בְּבִטְנֵ֔ךְ וּשְׁנֵ֣י לְאֻמִּ֔ים מִמֵּעַ֖יִךְ יִפָּרֵ֑דוּ וּלְאֹם֙ מִלְאֹ֣ם יֶֽאֱמָ֔ץ וְרַ֖ב יַעֲבֹ֥ד צָעִֽיר׃
24When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb. 24וַיִּמְלְא֥וּ יָמֶ֖יהָ לָלֶ֑דֶת וְהִנֵּ֥ה תוֹמִ֖ם בְּבִטְנָֽהּ׃
25The first one came out red-looking, covered with hair like a fur coat, and they named him Esau.25וַיֵּצֵ֤א הָרִאשׁוֹן֙ אַדְמוֹנִ֔י כֻּלּ֖וֹ כְּאַדֶּ֣רֶת שֵׂעָ֑ר וַיִּקְרְא֥וּ שְׁמ֖וֹ עֵשָֽׂו׃
26After this, his brother came out grasping Esau's heel with his hand. So he was named Jacob. Isaac was 60 years old when they were born. 26וְאַֽחֲרֵי־ כֵ֞ן יָצָ֣א אָחִ֗יו וְיָד֤וֹ אֹחֶ֙זֶת֙ בַּעֲקֵ֣ב עֵשָׂ֔ו וַיִּקְרָ֥א שְׁמ֖וֹ יַעֲקֹ֑ב וְיִצְחָ֛ק בֶּן־ שִׁשִּׁ֥ים שָׁנָ֖ה בְּלֶ֥דֶת אֹתָֽם׃
27When the boys grew up, Esau became an expert hunter, an outdoorsman, but Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home.27וַֽיִּגְדְּלוּ֙ הַנְּעָרִ֔ים וַיְהִ֣י עֵשָׂ֗ו אִ֛ישׁ יֹדֵ֥עַ צַ֖יִד אִ֣ישׁ שָׂדֶ֑ה וְיַעֲקֹב֙ אִ֣ישׁ תָּ֔ם יֹשֵׁ֖ב אֹהָלִֽים׃
28Isaac loved Esau because he had a taste for wild game, but Rebekah loved Jacob. 28וַיֶּאֱהַ֥ב יִצְחָ֛ק אֶת־ עֵשָׂ֖ו כִּי־ צַ֣יִד בְּפִ֑יו וְרִבְקָ֖ה אֹהֶ֥בֶת אֶֽת־ יַעֲקֹֽב׃
29Once when Jacob was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the field exhausted. 29וַיָּ֥זֶד יַעֲקֹ֖ב נָזִ֑יד וַיָּבֹ֥א עֵשָׂ֛ו מִן־ הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה וְה֥וּא עָיֵֽף׃
30He said to Jacob, "Let me eat some of that red stuff, because I'm exhausted." That is why he was also named Edom. 30וַיֹּ֨אמֶר עֵשָׂ֜ו אֶֽל־ יַעֲקֹ֗ב הַלְעִיטֵ֤נִי נָא֙ מִן־ הָאָדֹ֤ם הָאָדֹם֙ הַזֶּ֔ה כִּ֥י עָיֵ֖ף אָנֹ֑כִי עַל־ כֵּ֥ן קָרָֽא־ שְׁמ֖וֹ אֱדֽוֹם׃
31Jacob replied, "First sell me your birthright."" 31וַיֹּ֖אמֶר יַעֲקֹ֑ב מִכְרָ֥ה כַיּ֛וֹם אֶת־ בְּכֹֽרָתְךָ֖ לִֽי׃
32Look," said Esau, "I'm about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?" 32וַיֹּ֣אמֶר עֵשָׂ֔ו הִנֵּ֛ה אָנֹכִ֥י הוֹלֵ֖ךְ לָמ֑וּת וְלָמָּה־ זֶּ֥ה לִ֖י בְּכֹרָֽה׃
33Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore to Jacob and sold his birthright to him. 33וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יַעֲקֹ֗ב הִשָּׁ֤בְעָה לִּי֙ כַּיּ֔וֹם וַיִּשָּׁבַ֖ע ל֑וֹ וַיִּמְכֹּ֥ר אֶת־ בְּכֹרָת֖וֹ לְיַעֲקֹֽב׃
34Then Jacob gave bread and lentil stew to Esau; he ate, drank, got up, and went away. So Esau despised his birthright. 34וְיַעֲקֹ֞ב נָתַ֣ן לְעֵשָׂ֗ו לֶ֚חֶם וּנְזִ֣יד עֲדָשִׁ֔ים וַיֹּ֣אכַל וַיֵּ֔שְׁתְּ וַיָּ֖קָם וַיֵּלַ֑ךְ וַיִּ֥בֶז עֵשָׂ֖ו אֶת־ הַבְּכֹרָֽה׃ ס
