Abraham's Death
1 προσθέμενος δὲ Ἁβραὰμ ἔλαβεν γυναῖκα, ᾗ ὄνομα Χεττούρα. 2 ἔτεκεν δὲ αὐτῷ τὸν Ζεμράν1 καὶ τὸν Ἰεξάν, καὶ τὸν Μαδὰν2 καὶ τὸν Μαδιὰμ καὶ τὸν Ἰεσβόκ3 καὶ τὸν Σωύε.4 3 Ἰεξὰν δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Σαβὰ καὶ τὸν Θαιμὰν5 καὶ τὸν Δαιδὰν6 υἱοὶ δὲ Δαιδάν· ἐγένοντο Ῥαγουὴλ7 καὶ Ναβδεήλ8 καὶ Ἀσσουριίμ9 καὶ Λατουσιίμ10 καὶ Λοωμίμ.11 4 υἱοὶ δὲ Μαδιάμ· Γαιφὰ12 καὶ Ἀφέρ13 καὶ Ἐνὼχ καὶ Ἀβιρά14 καὶ Ἐλραγά.15 πάντες οὗτοι ἦσαν υἱοὶ Χεττούρας. 5 ἔδωκεν δὲ Ἁβραὰμ πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ Ἰσαὰκ τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ, 6 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. 1 And Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. 2 And she bore to him Zemran and Jexan, and Madan and Midian, and Jesbok and Shuah. 3 And Jexan fathered Sheba and Teman and Dedan; and the sons of Dedan were Raguel and Nabdeel and Asshurim and Letushim and Laommim. 4 And the sons of Midian: Gepha and Apher and Enoch and Abira and Elraga. All these were the sons of Keturah. 5 And Abraham gave all his possessions to Isaac his son. 6 But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts and sent them away from Isaac his son while he was still living, eastward to the land of the East.
7 ταῦτα δὲ τὰ ἔτη ἡμερῶν ζωῆς Ἁβραάμ, ὅσα ἔζησεν· ἑκατὸν ἑβδομήκοντα πέντε ἔτη. 8 καὶ ἐκλιπὼν ἀπέθανεν Ἁβραὰμ ἐν γήρει καλῷ πρεσβύτης καὶ πλήρης ἡμερῶν καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ. 9 καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰσμαὴλ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον τὸ διπλοῦν εἰς τὸν ἀγρὸν Ἐφρὼν τοῦ Σαὰρ τοῦ Χετταίου, ὅ ἐστιν ἀπέναντι Μαμβρῆ. 10 τὸν ἀγρὸν καὶ τὸ σπήλαιον, ὃ ἐκτήσατο Ἁβραὰμ παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν Χέτ, ἐκεῖ ἔθαψαν Ἁβραὰμ καὶ Σάρραν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ. 11 ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν Ἁβραὰμ εὐλόγησεν ὁ θεὸς Ἰσαὰκ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ· καὶ κατῴκησεν Ἰσαὰκ παρὰ τὸ φρέαρ τῆς ὁράσεως. 7 And these are the years of the days of the life of Abraham which he lived: one 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 his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the double cave (Machpelah), in the field of Ephron the son of Saar the Hittite, which is opposite Mambre. 10 The field and the cave which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth, there they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife. 11 and it happened after Abraham died that God blessed Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelt by the Well of the Vision (Beer-lahai-roi).
Descendants of Ishmael
12 αὗται δὲ αἱ γενέσεις Ἰσμαὴλ τοῦ υἱοῦ Ἁβραάμ, ὃν ἔτεκεν Ἄγαρ ἡ παιδίσκη Σάρρας τῷ Ἁβραάμ, 13 καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσμαὴλ κατ' ὄνομα τῶν γενεῶν αὐτοῦ· πρωτότοκος Ἰσμαὴλ Ναβαϊὼθ καὶ Κηδὰρ καὶ Ναβδεὴλ καὶ Μασσὰμ 14 καὶ Μασμὰ καὶ Ἰδουμὰ16 καὶ Μασσῆ 15 καὶ Χοδδάδ17 καὶ Θαιμὰν καὶ Ἰετοὺρ καὶ Ναφὲς καὶ Κεδμά. 16 οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσμαὴλ καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν ἐν ταῖς σκηναῖς αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἐπαύλεσιν αὐτῶν δώδεκα ἄρχοντες κατὰ ἔθνη αὐτῶν. 17 καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ἔτη τῆς ζωῆς Ἰσμαήλ· ἑκατὸν τριάκοντα ἑπτὰ ἔτη· καὶ ἐκλιπὼν ἀπέθανεν καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τὸ γένος αὐτοῦ. 18 κατῴκησεν δὲ ἀπὸ Εὐιλάτ, ἕως Σοὺρ ἥ ἐστιν κατὰ πρόσωπον Αἰγύπτου ἕως ἐλθεῖν πρὸς Ἀσσυρίους· κατὰ πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ κατῴκησεν. 12 And these are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham. 13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by the names of their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth, and Kedar and Nabdeel and Massam, 14 and Masma and Iduma and Masse, 15 and Choddad and Teman and Jetur and Naphes and Kedma. 16 These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names in their tents and in their encampments: twelve princes according to their nations. 17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred and thirty-seven years; and failing, he died and was added to his kin. 18 And he dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, which is before the face of Egypt, as one goes toward the Assyrians; he dwelt in the presence of all his brothers.
Isaac's Sons
19 καὶ αὗται αἱ γενέσεις Ἰσαὰκ τοῦ υἱοῦ Ἁβραάμ· Ἁβραὰμ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰσαάκ. 20 ἦν δὲ Ἰσαὰκ ἐτῶν τεσσαράκοντα, ὅτε ἔλαβεν τὴν Ῥεβέκκαν θυγατέρα Βαθουὴλ τοῦ Σύρου ἐκ τῆς Μεσοποταμίας ἀδελφὴν Λαβὰν τοῦ Σύρου ἑαυτῷ γυναῖκα. 21 ἐδεῖτο δὲ Ἰσαὰκ κυρίου περὶ Ῥεβέκκας τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ, ὅτι στεῖρα ἦν· ἐπήκουσεν δὲ αὐτοῦ ὁ θεός, καὶ ἔλαβεν ἐν γαστρὶ Ῥεβέκκα ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ. 22 ἐσκίρτων δὲ τὰ παιδία ἐν αὐτῇ· εἶπεν δέ, εἰ οὕτως μοι μέλλει γίνεσθαι, ἵνα τί μοι τοῦτο; ἐπορεύθη δὲ πυθέσθαι παρὰ κυρίου, 23 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος αὐτῇ, δύο ἔθνη ἐν τῇ γαστρί σου εἰσιν, καὶ δύο λαοὶ ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας σου διασταλήσονται· καὶ λαὸς λαοῦ ὑπερέξει, καὶ ὁ μείζων δουλεύσει τῷ ἐλάσσονι. 19 And these are the generations of Isaac, the son of Abraham: Abraham fathered Isaac. 20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebecca, daughter of Bethuel the Syrian from Mesopotamia, sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife. 21 And Isaac prayed to the Lord concerning Rebecca his wife, because she was barren; and God heard him, and Rebecca his wife conceived in her womb. 22 And the children leaped within her; and she said, "If it is to be thus with me, why is this happening to me?" And she went to inquire of the Lord. 23 And the Lord said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples shall be separated from your belly; and one people shall surpass the other, and the elder shall serve the younger."
24 καὶ ἐπληρώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ τεκεῖν αὐτήν, καὶ τῇδε ἦν δίδυμα ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ αὐτῆς. 25 ἐξῆλθεν δὲ ὁ υἱὸς ὁ πρωτότοκος πυρράκης, ὅλος ὡσεὶ δορὰ δασύς· ἐπωνόμασεν δὲ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἡσαῦ. 26 καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο ἐξῆλθεν ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ ἐπειλημμένη τῆς πτέρνης Ἡσαῦ· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰακώβ. Ἰσαὰκ δὲ ἦν ἐτῶν ἑξήκοντα, ὅτε ἔτεκεν αὐτοὺς Ῥεβέκκα. 27 ηὐξήθησαν δὲ οἱ νεανίσκοι, καὶ ἦν Ἡσαῦ ἄνθρωπος εἰδὼς κυνηγεῖν ἄγροικος, Ἰακὼβ δὲ ἦν ἄνθρωπος ἄπλαστος οἰκῶν οἰκίαν. 28 ἠγάπησεν δὲ Ἰσαὰκ τὸν Ἡσαῦ, ὅτι ἡ θήρα αὐτοῦ βρῶσις αὐτῷ· Ῥεβέκκα δὲ ἠγάπα τὸν Ἰακώβ. 24 And the days for her to give birth were fulfilled, and behold, there were twins in her womb. 25 And the firstborn son came out red, hairy all over like a skin; and she called his name Esau. 26 And after this his brother came out, and his hand was grasping the heel of Esau; and he called his name Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when Rebecca bore them. 27 And the young men grew, and Esau was a man skilled in hunting, a man of the field, but Jacob was a simple man, dwelling in a house. 28 And Isaac loved Esau, because his hunting was food for him; but Rebecca loved Jacob.
29 ἥψησεν δὲ Ἰακὼβ ἕψεμα· ἦλθεν δὲ Ἡσαῦ ἐκ τοῦ πεδίου ἐκλείπων, 30 καὶ εἶπεν Ἡσαῦ τῷ Ἰακώβ, γεῦσόν με ἀπὸ τοῦ ἑψέματος τοῦ πυρροῦ τούτου, ὅτι ἐκλείπω. διὰ τοῦτο ἐκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἐδώμ. 31 εἶπεν δὲ Ἰακὼβ τῷ Ἡσαῦ, ἀπόδου μοι σήμερον τὰ πρωτοτόκιά σου ἐμοί. 32 εἶπεν δὲ Ἡσαῦ, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ πορεύομαι τελευτᾶν, καὶ ἵνα τί μοι ταῦτα τὰ πρωτοτόκια; 33 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἰακώβ, ὄμοσόν μοι σήμερον. καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτῷ· ἀπέδοτο δὲ Ἡσαῦ τὰ πρωτοτόκια τῷ Ἰακώβ. 34 Ἰακὼβ δὲ ἔδωκεν τῷ Ἡσαῦ ἄρτον καὶ ἕψεμα φακοῦ, καὶ ἔφαγεν καὶ ἔπιεν καὶ ἀναστὰς ᾤχετο· καὶ ἐφαύλισεν Ἡσαῦ τὰ πρωτοτόκια. 29 And Jacob cooked a stew; and Esau came from the field, failing (faint). 30 And Esau said to Jacob, "Let me taste of this red stew, for I am failing." For this reason his name was called Edom. 31 And Jacob said to Esau, "Sell me your birthright today." 32 And Esau said, "Behold, I am going to die, and of what use is this birthright to me?" 33 And Jacob said to him, "Swear to me today." And he swore to him; and Esau sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 And Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose up and went his way; and Esau despised the birthright.
