1Abraham nahm sich noch eine andere Frau, namens Ketura.2Sie gebar ihm Simran, Jokschan, Medan, Midian, Jischbak und Schuach.3Jokschan zeugte Saba und Dedan. Die Söhne Dedans waren die Aschuriter, die Letuschiter und die Lëummiter.4Die Söhne Midians waren Efa, Efer, Henoch, Abida und Eldaga. Sie alle waren Söhne Keturas.5Abraham gab Isaak alles, was ihm gehörte.6Den Söhnen der Nebenfrauen, die Abraham hatte, gab Abraham Geschenke und schickte sie noch zu seinen Lebzeiten weit weg von seinem Sohn Isaak nach Osten, ins Morgenland.
Abrahams Tod und Begräbnis
7Das ist die Zahl der Lebensjahre Abrahams: Hundertfünfundsiebzig Jahre wurde er alt.8Dann verschied er. Er starb in glücklichem Alter, betagt und lebenssatt, und wurde mit seinen Vorfahren vereint.9Seine Söhne Isaak und Ismael begruben ihn in der Höhle von Machpela gegenüber Mamre, auf dem Feld des Hetiters Efron, des Sohnes Zohars, (1Mo 23,1)10auf dem Feld, das Abraham von den Hetitern erworben hatte. Dort sind Abraham und seine Frau Sara begraben.11Nach dem Tod Abrahams segnete Gott seinen Sohn Isaak und Isaak ließ sich beim Brunnen Lahai-Roï nieder. (1Mo 16,14)
Die Nachkommen Ismaels
12Das ist die Geschlechterfolge Ismaels, des Sohnes Abrahams. Ihn hatte die Ägypterin Hagar, die Sklavin Saras, Abraham geboren.13Das sind die Söhne Ismaels nach ihren Namen und nach ihrer Geschlechterfolge: Der Erstgeborene Ismaels war Nebajot; dann kamen Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,14Mischma, Duma, Massa,15Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Nafisch und Kedma.16Das waren die Söhne Ismaels und das waren ihre Namen in ihren Siedlungen und Zeltlagern: zwölf Fürsten, je einer für einen Stamm.17Und das ist die Zahl der Lebensjahre Ismaels: hundertsiebenunddreißig Jahre. Dann verschied er und wurde mit seinen Vorfahren vereint.18Ihr Siedlungsgebiet reichte von Hawila bis Schur, das Ägypten gegenüber an der Straße nach Assur liegt. Im Angesicht aller seiner Brüder fiel ihm sein Wohngebiet zu. (1Mo 16,12)
Esaus und Jakobs Geburt
19Und das ist die Geschlechterfolge Isaaks, des Sohnes von Abraham: Abraham zeugte Isaak.20Isaak war vierzig Jahre alt, als er sich Rebekka zur Frau nahm. Sie war die Tochter des Aramäers Betuël aus Paddan-Aram, eine Schwester des Aramäers Laban. (1Mo 24,1)21Isaak betete zum HERRN für seine Frau, denn sie war kinderlos geblieben, und der HERR ließ sich von ihm erbitten. Als seine Frau Rebekka schwanger war, (1Mo 11,30; 1Mo 29,31)22stießen die Söhne einander im Mutterleib. Da sagte sie: Wenn das so ist, was soll dann aus mir werden? Sie ging, um den HERRN zu befragen.23Der HERR gab diese Antwort:
Zwei Völker sind in deinem Leib, / zwei Stämme trennen sich schon in deinem Schoß. / Ein Stamm ist dem andern überlegen, / der ältere muss dem jüngeren dienen.24Als die Zeit ihrer Niederkunft gekommen war, siehe, da waren Zwillinge in ihrem Schoß.25Der Erste, der hervorkam, war rötlich, über und über mit Haaren bedeckt wie mit einem Mantel. Sie gaben ihm den Namen Esau.26Darauf kam sein Bruder hervor; seine Hand hielt die Ferse Esaus fest. Man gab ihm den Namen Jakob, Fersenhalter. Isaak war sechzig Jahre alt, als sie geboren wurden. (1Mo 32,29; 1Mo 35,10)
Der Verkauf des Erstgeburtsrechtes
27Die Knaben wuchsen heran. Esau wurde ein Mann, der sich auf die Jagd verstand, ein Mann des freien Feldes. Jakob war ein Mann ohne Fehl und blieb bei den Zelten.28Isaak liebte Esau; denn er aß gern Wildbret. Rebekka aber liebte Jakob.29Einst kochte Jakob ein Gericht. Da kam Esau vom Feld; er war erschöpft.30Esau sagte zu Jakob: Lass mich doch schnell essen von dem Roten, von dem Roten da, denn ich bin erschöpft! Deshalb gab man ihm den Namen Edom, Roter.31Jakob aber sagte: Verkauf mir zuvor dein Erstgeburtsrecht! (5Mo 21,17)32Esau sagte: Siehe, ich sterbe vor Hunger. Was soll mir da das Erstgeburtsrecht?33Jakob aber sagte: Schwöre mir zuvor! Da schwor er ihm und verkaufte sein Erstgeburtsrecht an Jakob. (Hebr 12,16)34Darauf gab Jakob dem Esau Brot und das Linsengericht; er aß und trank, stand auf und ging seines Weges. Vom Erstgeburtsrecht aber hielt Esau nichts.
1Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah.2She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. (1Chr 1,32; 1Chr 1,33)3Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.4The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.5Abraham gave all he had to Isaac. (1Mo 24,36)6But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, and while he was still living he sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward to the east country. (1Mo 21,14; Ri 6,3)7These are the days of the years of Abraham’s life, 175 years.8Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people. (1Mo 15,15; 1Mo 25,17; 1Mo 35,29; 1Mo 49,33)9Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre, (1Mo 35,29)10the field that Abraham purchased from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried, with Sarah his wife. (1Mo 23,16; 1Mo 49,30; 1Mo 49,31; 1Mo 50,13)11After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac his son. And Isaac settled at Beer-lahai-roi. (1Mo 16,14; 1Mo 24,62)12These are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to Abraham. (1Mo 16,15)13These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, named in the order of their birth: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael; and Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, (1Chr 1,29; Jes 60,7)14Mishma, Dumah, Massa,15Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. (1Chr 5,19; Hi 6,19; Jes 21,14)16These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their villages and by their encampments, twelve princes according to their tribes. (1Mo 17,20)17(These are the years of the life of Ishmael: 137 years. He breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.) (1Mo 25,8)18They settled from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria. He settled[1] over against all his kinsmen. (1Mo 16,7; 1Mo 20,1; 2Mo 15,22; 1Sam 15,7)
The Birth of Esau and Jacob
19These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham fathered Isaac, (Mt 1,2)20and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife. (1Mo 22,23; 1Mo 24,29; 1Mo 28,2)21And Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she was barren. And the LORD granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived. (2Sam 21,14; 2Sam 24,25; 1Chr 5,20; 2Chr 33,13; Esr 8,23)22The children struggled together within her, and she said, “If it is thus, why is this happening to me?”[2] So she went to inquire of the LORD. (1Sam 9,9)23And the LORD said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you[3] shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the older shall serve the younger.” (1Mo 17,16; 1Mo 24,60; 1Mo 27,29; 1Mo 27,40; 2Sam 8,14; Ob 1,18; Röm 9,12)24When her days to give birth were completed, behold, there were twins in her womb.25The first came out red, all his body like a hairy cloak, so they called his name Esau. (1Mo 27,11; 1Mo 27,16; 1Mo 27,23)26Afterward his brother came out with his hand holding Esau’s heel, so his name was called Jacob.[4] Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. (1Mo 27,36; Hos 12,3)27When the boys grew up, Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents. (1Mo 27,3; 1Mo 27,5; Hebr 11,9)28Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob. (1Mo 27,4; 1Mo 27,7; 1Mo 27,9)
Esau Sells His Birthright
29Once when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted.30And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!” (Therefore his name was called Edom.[5] )31Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright now.”32Esau said, “I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?”33Jacob said, “Swear to me now.” So he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob. (Hebr 12,16)34Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
1.Mose 25
King James Version
1Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.2And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.3And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.4And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.5And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.6But 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.7And these are the days of the years of Abraham' life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.8Then 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.9And 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;10The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.11And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.12Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham' son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah' handmaid, bare unto Abraham:13And 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,14And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,15Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:16These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.17And 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.18And 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.19And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham' son: Abraham begat Isaac:20And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.21And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.22And 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.23And 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.24And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.25And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.26And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau' heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.27And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.28And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.29And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:30And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage ; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.31And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.32And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?33And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.34Then 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.
1Abraham had taken another wife, whose name was Keturah.2She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak and Shuah.3Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan; the descendants of Dedan were the Ashurites, the Letushites and the Leummites.4The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanok, Abida and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.5Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.6But while he was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the east.7Abraham lived a hundred and seventy-five years.8Then Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age, an old man and full of years; and he was gathered to his people.9His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite,10the field Abraham had bought from the Hittites.[1] There Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah.11After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who then lived near Beer Lahai Roi.
Ishmael’s sons
12This is the account of the family line of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Sarah’s slave, Hagar the Egyptian, bore to Abraham.13These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, listed in the order of their birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,14Mishma, Dumah, Massa,15Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish and Kedemah.16These were the sons of Ishmael, and these are the names of the twelve tribal rulers according to their settlements and camps.17Ishmael lived a hundred and thirty-seven years. He breathed his last and died, and he was gathered to his people.18His descendants settled in the area from Havilah to Shur, near the eastern border of Egypt, as you go towards Ashur. And they lived in hostility towards[2] all the tribes related to them.
Jacob and Esau
19This is the account of the family line of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,20and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan Aram[3] and sister of Laban the Aramean.21Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was childless. The Lord answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became pregnant.22The babies jostled each other within her, and she said, ‘Why is this happening to me?’ So she went to enquire of the Lord.23The Lord said to her, ‘Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the elder will serve the younger.’24When the time came for her to give birth, there were twin boys in her womb.25The first to come out was red, and his whole body was like a hairy garment; so they named him Esau.[4]26After this, his brother came out, with his hand grasping Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob.[5] Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah gave birth to them.27The boys grew up, and Esau became a skilful hunter, a man of the open country, while Jacob was content to stay at home among the tents.28Isaac, who had a taste for wild game, loved Esau, but Rebekah loved Jacob.29Once when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the open country, famished.30He said to Jacob, ‘Quick, let me have some of that red stew! I’m famished!’ (That is why he was also called Edom.[6])31Jacob replied, ‘First sell me your birthright.’32‘Look, I am about to die,’ Esau said. ‘What good is the birthright to me?’33But Jacob said, ‘Swear to me first.’ So he swore an oath to him, selling his birthright to Jacob.34Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then got up and left. So Esau despised his birthright.
