창세기(Genesis) 25장

1. Abraham took another wife, whose
name was Keturah.

2. She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan,
Ishbak and Shuah.

3. Jokshan was the father of Sheba and
Dedan; the descendants of Dedan were
the Asshurites, the Letushites and the
Leummites.

4. The sons of Midian were Ephah,
Epher, Hanoch, Abida and Eldaah.
All these were descendants of
Keturah.

5. Abraham left everything he owned
to Isaac.

6. But 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.

7. Altogether, Abraham lived a hundred
and seventy-five years.

8. Then 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.

9. His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him
in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in
the field of Ephron son of Zohar the
Hittite,

10. the field Abraham had bought from
the Hittites. There Abraham was
buried with his wife Sarah.

11. After Abraham’s death, God blessed
his son Isaac, who then lived near Beer
Lahai Roi.

12. This is the account of Abraham’s
son Ishmael, whom Sarah’s
maidservant, Hagar the Egyptian,
bore to Abraham.

13. These are the names of the sons of
Ishmael, listed in the order of their
birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of
Ishmael, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

14. Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

15. Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Maphish and
Kedemah.

16. These were the sons of Ishmael, and
these are the names of the twelve tribal
rulers according to their settlements
and camps.

17. Altogether, Ishmael lived a hundred
and thirty-seven years. He breathed
his last and died, and he was gathered
to his people.

18. His descendants settled in the area
from Havilah to Shur, near the border
of Egypt, as you go toward Asshur.
And they lived in hostility toward all
their brothers.

19. This is the account of Abraham’s
son Isaac. Abraham became the
father of Isaac,

20. and Isaac was forty years old when
he married Rebekah daughter of
Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan
Aram and sister of Laban the
Aramean.

21. Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf
of his wife, because she was barren.
The LORD answered his prayer, and
his wife Rebekah became pregnant.

22. The babies jostled each other within
her, and she said, “Why is this happening
to me?” So she went to inquire of the
LORD.

23. The 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 older will serve the younger.”

24. When the time came for her to give
birth, there were twin boys in her
womb.

25. The first to come out was red, and
his whole body was like a hairy
garment; so they named him Esau.

26. After this, his brother came out, with
his hand grasping Esau’s heel; so he was
named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old
when Rebekah gave birth to them.

27. The boys grew up, and Esau became
a skillful hunter, a man of the open
country, while Jacob was a quiet man,
staying among the tents.

28. Isaac, who had a taste for wild game,
loved Esau, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

29. Once when Jacob was cooking some
stew, Esau came in from the open
country, famished.

30. He said to Jacob, “Quick, let me have
some of that red stew! I’m famished!”
(That is why he was also called Edom.)

31. Jacob replied, “First sell me your
birthright.”

32. “Look, I am about to die,” Esau said.
What good is the birthright to me?”

33. But Jacob said, “Swear to me first.”
So he swore an oath to him, selling his
birthright to Jacob.

34. Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and
some lentil stew. He ate and drank, and
then got up and left. So Esau despised
his birthright.
