Chapter 25

¹ And Abraham again took a wife, whose name was Keturah. ² And she bore to him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. ³ And Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Asshurim and the Letushim, and Leummim. ⁴ And the sons of Midian [were] Ephah and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah; all these were sons of Keturah. ⁵ But Abraham gave all his possessions to Isaac his son. ⁶ But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, and he sent them away from his son Isaac, while he was yet living, to the east into the country of the east. ⁷ And these [were] the years of the days of the life of Abraham as many as he lived, a hundred and seventy-five years. ⁸ And Abraham failing died in a good old age, an old man and full of days, and was added to his people. ⁹ And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the double cave, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is over against Mamre: ¹⁰ [even] the field and the cave which Abraham bought of the sons of Heth; there they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife. ¹¹ And it came to pass after Abraham was dead, that God blessed Isaac his son, and Isaac dwelt by the well of the vision. ¹² And these [are] the generations of Ishmael the son of Abraham, whom Hagar the Egyptian the handmaid of Sarah bore to Abraham. ¹³ And these [are] the names of the sons of Ishmael, according to the names of their generations. The firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, and Kedar, and Abdeel, and Mibsam, ¹⁴ and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, ¹⁵ and Hadad, and Tema, and Jetur, and Naphish, and Kedemah. ¹⁶ These [are] the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names in their tents and in their dwellings, twelve princes according to their nations. ¹⁷ And these [are] the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he failed and died, and was added to his fathers. ¹⁸ And he dwelt from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt, until one comes to the Assyrians; he dwelt in the presence of all his brethren.

ΠΡΟΣΘΕΜΕΝΟΣ δὲ Ἁβραὰμ ἔλαβε γυναῖκα, ἧ ὄνομα Χεττούρα. ἔτεκε δὲ αὐτῷ τὸν Ζομβρᾶν καὶ τὸν Ἰεζὰν καὶ τὸν Μαδὰλ καὶ τὸν Μαδιὰμ καὶ τὸν Ἰεσβὼκ καὶ τὸν Σωκέ. Ιεζὰν δὲ ἐγέννησε καὶ τὸν Θαιμὰν τὸν Σαβὰ καὶ τὸν Δεδάν· υἱοὶ δὲ Δεδὰν ἐγένοντο Ραγουὴλ καὶ Ναβδεὴλ καὶ Ἀσσουριεὶμ καὶ Λατουσιεὶμ καὶ Λαωμείμ. υἱοὶ δὲ Μαδιὰμ Γεφὰρ καὶ Ἀφεὶρ καὶ Ἐνὼχ καὶ Ἀβειρὰ καὶ Ἐλδαγά. πάντες οὗτοι ἦσαν υἱοὶ Χεττούρας. Ἔδωκε δὲ Ἁβραὰμ πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ Ἰσαὰκ τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν παλλακῶν αὐτοῦ ἔδωκεν Ἁβραὰμ δόματα καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ Ἰσαὰκ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, ἔτι ζῶντος αὐτοῦ, πρὸς ἀνατολὰς εἰς γῆν ἀνατολῶν. ταῦτα δὲ τὰ ἔτη ἡμερῶν τῆς ζωῆς Ἁβραὰμ ὅσα ἔζησεν, ἑκατὸν ἑβδομηκονταπέντε ἔτη. καὶ ἐκλείπων ἀπέθανεν Ἁβραὰμ ἐν γήρᾳ καλῷ πρεσβύτης καὶ πλήρης ἡμερῶν καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰσμαὴλ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον τὸ διπλοῦν, εἰς τὸν ἀγρὸν Ἐφρὼν τοῦ Σαὰρ τοῦ Χετταίου, ὅς ἐστιν ἀπέναντι Μαμβρῆ, τὸν ἀγρὸν καὶ τὸ σπήλαιον, ὃ ἐκτήσατο Ἁβραὰμ παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν τοῦ Χέτ, ἐκεῖ ἔθαψαν Ἁβραὰμ καὶ Σάρραν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ. ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν Ἁβραάμ, εὐλόγησεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν Ἰσαὰκ υἱὸν αὐτοῦ· καὶ κατῴκησεν Ἰσαὰκ παρὰ τὸ φρέαρ τῆς ὁράσεως. Αὗται δέ αἱ γενέσεις Ἰσμαὴλ τοῦ υἱοῦ Ἁβραάμ, ὃν ἔτεκεν Ἄγαρ ἡ Αἰγυπτία ἡ παιδίσκη Σάρρας τῷ Ἁβραάμ. καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσμαὴλ κατ᾿ ὀνόματα τῶν γενεῶν αὐτοῦ· πρωτότοκος Ἰσμαὴλ Ναβαιώθ, καὶ Κηδὰρ καὶ Ναβδεὴλ καὶ Μασσὰμ καὶ Μασμὰ καὶ Δουμὰ καὶ Μασσῆ καὶ Χοδδὰν καὶ Θαιμὰν καὶ Ἰετοὺρ καὶ Ναφὲς καὶ Κεδμά. οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσμαὴλ καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν ἐν ταῖς σκηναῖς αὐτῶν καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἐπαύλεσιν αὐτῶν· δώδεκα ἄρχοντες κατὰ ἔθνη αὐτῶν. καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ἔτη τῆς ζωῆς Ἰσμαήλ· ἑκατὸν τριακονταεπτὰ ἔτη· καὶ ἐκλείπων ἀπέθανε καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τὸ γένος αὐτοῦ. κατῴκησε δὲ ἀπὸ Εὐϊλὰτ ἕως Σούρ, ἥ ἐστι κατὰ πρόσωπον Αἰγύπτου, ἕως ἐλθεῖν πρὸς Ἀσσυρίους· κατὰ πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ κατῴκησε.

¹⁹ And these [are] the generations of Isaac the son of Abraham. ²⁰ Abraham begot Isaac. And Isaac was forty years old when he took to wife Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel the Syrian, out of Syrian Mesopotamia, sister of Laban the Syrian. ²¹ And Isaac prayed the Lord concerning Rebekah his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord heard him, and his wife Rebekah conceived in her womb. ²² And the babes leaped within her; and she said, If it will be so with me, why is this to me? And she went to inquire of the Lord. ²³ And the Lord said to her,

Καὶ αὗται αἱ γενέσεις Ἰσαὰκ τοῦ υἱοῦ Ἁβραάμ· Ἁβραὰμ ἐγέννησε τὸν Ἰσαάκ. ἦν δὲ Ἰσαὰκ ἐτῶν τεσσαράκοντα, ὅτε ἔλαβε τὴν Ρεβέκκαν θυγατέρα Βαθουὴλ τοῦ Σύρου ἐκ τῆς Μεσοποταμίας Συρίας, ἀδελφὴν Λάβαν τοῦ Σύρου, ἑαυτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα. ἐδέετο δὲ Ἰσαὰκ Κυρίου περὶ Ρεβέκκας τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ, ὅτι στεῖρα ἦν· ἐπήκουσε δὲ αὐτοῦ ὁ Θεός, καὶ συνέλαβεν ἐν γαστρὶ Ρεβέκκα ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ. ἐσκίρτων δὲ τὰ παιδία ἐν αὐτῇ· εἶπε δέ, εἰ οὕτω μοι μέλλει γίνεσθαι, ἵνα τί μοι τοῦτο; ἐπορεύθη δὲ πυθέσθαι παρὰ Κυρίου. καὶ εἶπε Κύριος αὐτῇ· δύο ἔθνη ἐν γαστρί σου εἰσί, καὶ δύο λαοὶ ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας σου διασταλήσονται· καὶ λαὸς λαοῦ ὑπερέξει, καὶ ὁ μείζων δουλεύσει τῷ ἐλάσσονι.

²⁴ And the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered, and she had twins in her womb. ²⁵ And the first came out red, hairy all over like a skin; and she called his name Esau. ²⁶ And after this came forth his brother, and his hand took hold of the heel of Esau; and she called his name Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah bore them. ²⁷ And the lads grew, and Esau was a man skilled in hunting, dwelling in the country, and Jacob a simple man, dwelling in a house. ²⁸ And Isaac loved Esau, because his venison was his food, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

καὶ ἐπληρώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ τεκεῖν αὐτήν, καὶ τῇδε ἦν δίδυμα ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ αὐτῆς. ἐξῆλθε δὲ ὁ πρωτότοκος πυρράκης, ὅλος ὡσεὶ δορὰ δασύς· ἐπωνόμασε δὲ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἡσαῦ. καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο ἐξῆλθεν ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ ἐπειλημμένη τῆς πτέρνης Ἡσαῦ· καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰακώβ. Ἰσαὰκ δὲ ἦν ἐτῶν ἑξήκοντα, ὅτε ἔτεκεν αὐτοὺς Ρεβέκκα. Ηὐξήθησαν δὲ οἱ νεανίσκοι, καὶ ἦν Ἡσαῦ ἄνθρωπος εἰδὼς κυνηγεῖν, ἄγροικος, Ἰακὼβ δὲ ἄνθρωπος ἄπλαστος, οἰκῶν οἰκίαν. ἠγάπησε δὲ Ἰσαὰκ τὸν Ἡσαῦ, ὅτι ἡ θήρα αὐτοῦ βρῶσις αὐτῷ· Ρεβέκκα δὲ ἠγάπα τὸν Ἰακώβ.

²⁹ And Jacob cooked pottage, and Esau came from the plain, fainting. ³⁰ And Esau said to Jacob, Let me taste of that red pottage, because I am fainting; therefore his name was called Edom. ³¹ And Jacob said to Esau, Sell me this day thy birthright. ³² And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and for what good does this birthright [belong] to me? ³³ And Jacob said to him, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him; and Esau sold his birthright to Jacob. ³⁴ And Jacob gave bread to Esau, and pottage of lentils; and he ate and drank, and he arose and departed; so Esau slighted his birthright.

ἥψησε δὲ Ἰακὼβ ἕψημα· ἦλθε δὲ Ἡσαῦ ἐκ τοῦ πεδίου ἐκλείπων, καὶ εἶπεν Ἡσαῦ τῷ Ἰακώβ· γεῦσόν με ἀπὸ τοῦ ἑψήματος τοῦ πυρροῦ τούτου, ὅτι ἐκλείπω. διὰ τοῦτο ἐκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἐδώμ. εἶπε δὲ Ἰακὼβ τῷ Ἡσαῦ· ἀπόδου μοι σήμερον τὰ πρωτοτόκιά σου ἐμοί. καὶ εἶπεν Ἡσαῦ· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ πορεύομαι τελευτᾶν, καὶ ἵνα τί μοι ταῦτα τὰ πρωτοτόκια; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἰακώβ· ὄμοσόν μοι σήμερον. καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτῷ· ἀπέδοτο δὲ Ἡσαῦ τὰ πρωτοτόκια τῷ Ἰακώβ. Ἰακὼβ δὲ ἔδωκε τῷ Ἡσαῦ ἄρτον καὶ ἕψημα φακοῦ, καὶ ἔφαγε καὶ ἔπιε καὶ ἀναστὰς ᾤχετο· καὶ ἐφαύλισεν Ἡσαῦ τὰ πρωτοτόκια.
