Mga Iba pang Lahi ni Abraham(A)

25 Muling nag-asawa si Abraham at ang pangalan ng babae ay Ketura. Ang mga anak niya rito ay sina Zimran, Jocsan, Medan, Midian, Isbak at Suah. Si Jocsan ang ama nina Seba at Dedan. Kay Dedan nagmula ang mga Asurim, Letusim at Leumim. Ang mga anak naman ni Midian ay sina Efa, Efer, Enoc, Abida at Eldaa. Lahat sila'y buhat kay Ketura.

Kay Isaac ipinamana ni Abraham ang lahat niyang ari-arian. Ngunit bago siya namatay, pinagbibigyan na niya ng regalo ang mga anak niya sa ibang asawa, at pinapunta sa lupain sa dakong silangan para mapalayo kay Isaac.

Namatay si Abraham

Si Abraham ay nabuhay nang 175 taon. Matandang-matanda na siya nang mamatay. At inilibing siya nina Isaac at Ismael sa yungib ng Macpela sa silangan ng Mamre, sa parang na dating kay Efron, anak ni Zohar na Heteo. 10 Ang(B) lugar na iyon ang binili ni Abraham sa mga Heteo at doon sila nalibing ni Sara. 11 Pagkamatay ni Abraham, pinagpala ng Diyos si Isaac. Doon siya tumira sa Beer-lahai-roi.

Ang Lahi ni Ismael(C)

12 Ito naman ang lahi ni Ismael na anak ni Abraham kay Hagar, ang taga-Egiptong alipin ni Sara. 13 Si Nebayot ang panganay, sumunod sina Kedar, Abdeel at Mibsam. 14 Sumunod sina Misma, Duma at Massa; 15 pagkatapos ay sina Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Nafis at Kedema. 16 Sila ang labindalawang anak ni Ismael na naging pinuno ng kani-kanilang lipi. Isinunod sa kanilang mga pangalan ang mga bayan at pinagkampuhan ng kani-kanilang mga lipi. 17 Namatay si Ismael sa gulang na 137 taon, at siya'y inilibing. 18 Ang lahi ni Ismael ay tumira sa lupain sa pagitan ng Havila at Shur, sa daang patungo sa Asiria sa silangan ng Egipto. Nakabukod sila sa ibang mga lipi ni Abraham.

Ipinanganak sina Esau at Jacob

19 Ito naman ang kasaysayan ni Isaac na anak ni Abraham. 20 Apatnapung taon na si Isaac nang mapangasawa niya si Rebeca, anak na dalaga ni Bethuel, isang Arameong taga-Mesopotamia. Si Rebeca'y kapatid ni Laban, isa ring Arameo. 21 Hindi magkaanak si Rebeca, kaya't nanalangin kay Yahweh si Isaac. Dininig naman siya at si Rebeca'y naglihi. 22 Kambal ang kanyang dinadala at nasa tiyan pa'y nagtutulakan na ang dalawa. Kaya't nasabi ng ina, “Kung ngayon pa'y ganito na ang nangyayari sa akin, bakit pa ako mabubuhay?” Kaya't siya'y nagtanong kay Yahweh. 23 Ganito(D) naman ang sagot ni Yahweh:

“Dalawang sanggol ang dala mo sa loob ng iyong tiyan,
    larawan ng dalawang bansa na magiging magkalaban;
magiging higit na malakas ang mas bata kaysa sa nauna,
    kaya maglilingkod ang mas matanda sa bata niyang kapatid.”

24 Dumating ang panahon at nanganak nga siya ng kambal. 25 Mamula-mula ang kutis at mabalahibo ang katawan ng panganay, kaya't Esau[a] ang ipinangalan dito. 26 Nang lumabas ang pangalawa, nakahawak ito sa sakong ng kanyang kakambal, kaya Jacob[b] naman ang itinawag sa kanya. Animnapung taon si Isaac noon.

Ipinagbili ni Esau ang Kanyang Karapatan

27 Lumaki ang mga bata. Naging mahusay na mangangaso si Esau at sa kaparangan na halos tumitira. Si Jacob naman ay tahimik at lagi sa bahay. 28 Higit ang pagtingin ni Isaac kay Esau, palibhasa'y kinawiwilihan niyang kainin ang mga nahuhuli nito sa pangangaso, samantalang si Jacob naman ang mas mahal ni Rebeca.

29 Minsan, si Jacob ay nagluluto ng sinabawang pulang patani; siya namang pagdating ni Esau mula sa pangangaso. 30 Sinabi niya, “Gutom na gutom na ako, bigyan mo naman ako niyang mapulang niluluto mo.” At dahil dito'y tinawag siyang Edom.[c]

31 Sumagot si Jacob, “Ibigay mo muna sa akin ang iyong karapatan bilang panganay.”

32 “Payag na ako,” sabi ni Esau, “aanhin ko pa ang pagiging panganay kung mamamatay naman ako sa gutom?”

33 “Kung(E) gayon,” sabi ni Jacob, “sumumpa ka muna.” Sumumpa nga si Esau, at ibinigay kay Jacob ang karapatan ng pagiging panganay. 34 Ibinigay naman ni Jacob kay Esau ang niluto niyang gulay at binigyan pa ito ng tinapay. Matapos kumai't uminom, umalis na agad si Esau. Iyon lamang ang halaga sa kanya ng kanyang karapatan bilang panganay.

Abraham’s Other Wife and Sons

25 Now Abraham had taken another wife, whose name was Keturah,(A) and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan. Dedan’s sons were the Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. And Midian’s sons were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were sons of Keturah. Abraham gave everything he owned to Isaac.(B) And 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.(C)

Abraham’s Death

This is the length of Abraham’s life:[a] 175 years. He took his last breath and died at a ripe old age,(D) old and contented,[b] and he was gathered to his people.(E) His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah(F) near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite. 10 This was the field that Abraham bought from the Hittites.(G) Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah. 11 After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near Beer-lahai-roi.(H)

Ishmael’s Family Records

12 These are the family records(I) of Abraham’s son Ishmael,(J) whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s slave, bore to Abraham. 13 These are the names of Ishmael’s sons; their names according to the family records are: Nebaioth, Ishmael’s firstborn, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa, 15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. 16 These are Ishmael’s sons, and these are their names by their villages and encampments: 12 leaders[c](K) of their clans.[d] 17 This is the length[e] of Ishmael’s life: 137 years. He took his last breath and died, and was gathered to his people. 18 And they[f] settled from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt as you go toward Asshur. He[g] lived in opposition to[h] all his brothers.(L)

The Birth of Jacob and Esau

19 These are the family records of Isaac son of Abraham. Abraham fathered Isaac.(M) 20 Isaac was 40 years old when he took as his wife Rebekah(N) daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram(O) and sister of Laban the Aramean.(P) 21 Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife because she was childless.(Q) The Lord heard his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived.(R) 22 But the children inside her struggled with each other, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?”[i] So she went to inquire of the Lord.(S) 23 And 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,(T)
and the older will serve the younger.(U)

24 When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb. 25 The first one came out red-looking,[j] covered with hair[k] like a fur coat, and they named him Esau.(V) 26 After this, his brother came out grasping Esau’s heel with his hand.(W) So he was named Jacob.[l](X) Isaac was 60 years old when they were born.

Esau Sells His Birthright

27 When the boys grew up, Esau became an expert hunter, an outdoorsman,[m] but Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home.[n] 28 Isaac loved Esau because he had a taste for wild game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.(Y)

29 Once when Jacob was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the field exhausted. 30 He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stuff, because I’m exhausted.” That is why he was also named Edom.[o]

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

32 “Look,” said Esau, “I’m about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?”

33 Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” So he swore to Jacob and sold his birthright to him. 34 Then Jacob gave bread and lentil stew to Esau; he ate, drank, got up, and went away. So Esau despised his birthright.(Z)
