Abraham’s Death and His Descendants

1 Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. 2 She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. 3 Jokshan fathered 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 he had to Isaac. 6 But 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. 7 These are the days of the years of Abraham’s life, 175 years. 8 Abraham breathed his last and died in 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, east of Mamre, 10 the field that Abraham purchased from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried, with Sarah his wife. 11 After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac his son. And Isaac settled at Beer-lahai-roi. 12 These are 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, named in the order of their birth: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael; and 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 tribes. 17 (These are the years of the life of Ishmael: 137 years. He breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.) 18 They settled from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria. He settled* over against all his kinsmen.

The Birth of Esau and Jacob

19 These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham fathered Isaac, 20 and 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. 21 And Isaac prayed to the Lord for his wife, because she was barren. And the Lord granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22 The children struggled together within her, and she said, “If it is thus, why is this happening to me?”* So she went to inquire of the Lord. 23 And the Lord said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you* shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the older shall serve the younger.” 24 When her days to give birth were completed, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25 The first came out red, all his body like a hairy cloak, so they called his name Esau. 26 Afterward his brother came out with his hand holding Esau’s heel, so his name was called Jacob.* Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. 27 When the boys grew up, Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents. 28 Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

Esau Sells His Birthright

29 Once when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted. 30 And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!” (Therefore his name was called Edom.*) 31 Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright now.” 32 Esau said, “I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?” 33 Jacob said, “Swear to me now.” So he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.

Mort d'Abraham

1 Abraham prit encore une femme du nom de Ketura. 2 Elle lui donna Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Madian, Jishbak et Shuach. 3 Jokshan eut pour fils Séba et Dedan. Les descendants de Dedan furent les Ashurim, les Letushim et les Leummim. 4 Les fils de Madian furent Epha, Epher, Hénoc, Abida et Eldaa. Tous ceux-là sont des descendants de Ketura. 5 Abraham donna tout ce qu'il possédait à Isaac. 6 Quant aux fils de ses concubines, il leur fit des cadeaux et il les envoya de son vivant loin de son fils Isaac, vers l'est, dans un pays d'Orient. 7 La durée de la vie d'Abraham fut de 175 ans, 8 puis il expira. Abraham mourut après une heureuse vieillesse, âgé et rassasié de jours, et il alla rejoindre les siens. 9 Ses fils Isaac et Ismaël l'enterrèrent dans la grotte de Macpéla, dans le champ du Hittite Ephron, fils de Tsochar, vis-à-vis de Mamré. 10 C'était le champ qu'Abraham avait acheté aux Hittites et c'est là que furent enterrés Abraham et sa femme Sara. 11 Après la mort d'Abraham, Dieu bénit son fils Isaac. Celui-ci s'installa près du puits de Lachaï-Roï.

Descendance d'Ismaël

12 Voici la lignée d'Ismaël, fils d'Abraham, celui que l'Egyptienne Agar, la servante de Sara, avait donné à Abraham. 13 Voici le nom des fils d'Ismaël, leur nom en fonction de leur lignée: Nebajoth, son fils aîné, Kédar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Duma, Massa, 15 Hadad, Théma, Jethur, Naphish et Kedma. 16 Voilà quels furent les fils d'Ismaël avec leur nom d'après leurs villages et leurs campements. Ils furent les douze chefs de leurs peuples. 17 La durée de la vie d'Ismaël fut de 137 ans, puis il expira. Il mourut et alla rejoindre les siens. 18 Ses descendants habitèrent le territoire situé entre Havila et Shur, qui est en face de l'Egypte, en direction de l'Assyrie. Il s'établit en face de tous ses frères.

Naissance d'Esaü et Jacob

19 Voici la lignée d'Isaac, fils d'Abraham. Abraham eut pour fils Isaac. 20 Isaac était âgé de 40 ans quand il prit pour femme Rebecca, qui était la fille de Bethuel, l'Araméen de Paddan-Aram, et la sœur de Laban l'Araméen. 21 Isaac supplia l'Eternel pour sa femme, car elle était stérile, et l'Eternel l'exauça: sa femme Rebecca tomba enceinte. 22 Les enfants se heurtaient à l'intérieur d'elle et elle dit: «Si telle est la situation, pourquoi suis-je enceinte?» Elle alla consulter l'Eternel, 23 et l'Eternel lui dit: «Il y a deux nations dans ton ventre, et deux peuples issus de toi se sépareront. Un de ces peuples sera plus fort que l'autre, et le plus grand sera asservi au plus petit*.» 24 Le moment où elle devait accoucher arriva, et voici qu'il y avait des jumeaux dans son ventre. 25 Le premier sortit roux et tout couvert de poils, comme un manteau. On l'appela Esaü. 26 Ensuite sortit son frère, dont la main tenait le talon d'Esaü. On l'appela Jacob. Isaac était âgé de 60 ans à leur naissance. 27 Ces enfants grandirent. Esaü devint un habile chasseur, un homme de la campagne, alors que Jacob était un homme tranquille qui restait sous les tentes. 28 Isaac aimait Esaü parce qu'il lui amenait du gibier, et Rebecca aimait Jacob. 29 Tandis que Jacob faisait cuire un potage, Esaü revint des champs, accablé de fatigue. 30 Esaü dit à Jacob: «Laisse-moi manger de ce roux, de ce plat roux, car je suis fatigué.» C'est pour cela qu'on a donné à Esaü le nom d'Edom*. 31 Jacob répondit: «Vends-moi aujourd'hui ton droit d'aînesse*.» 32 Esaü répondit: «Je vais mourir. A quoi me sert ce droit d'aînesse?» 33 Jacob dit: «Jure-le-moi d'abord.» Il le lui jura, il vendit son droit d'aînesse à Jacob. 34 Alors Jacob donna du pain et du potage de lentilles à Esaü. Il mangea et but, puis se leva et s'en alla. C'est ainsi qu'Esaü méprisa le droit d'aînesse.
