1 And Abraham married another wife named Cetura: 2 Who bore him Zamram, and Jecsan, and Madan, and Madian, and Jesboc, and Sue. 3 Jecsan also begot Saba, and Dadan. The children of Dadan were Assurim, and Latusim, and Loomim. 4 But of Madian was born Epha, and Opher, and Henoch, and Abida, and Eldaa: all these were the children of Cetura. 5 And Abraham gave all his possessions to Isaac: 6 And to the children of the concubines he gave gifts, and separated them from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, to the east country. Concubines... Agar and Cetura are here called concubines, (though they were lawful wives, and in other places are so called), because they were of an inferior degree, and such in scripture are usually called concubines. 7 And the days of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five years. 8 And decaying he died in a good old age, and having lived a long time, and being full of days: and was gathered to his people. 9 And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, which was situated in the field of Ephron the son of Seor the Hethite, over against Mambre, 10 Which he had bought of the children of Heth: there was he buried, and Sara his wife. 11 And after his death, God blessed Isaac his son, who dwelt by the well named Of the living and seeing.
12 These are the generations of Ismael the son of Abraham, whom Agar the Egyptian, Sara's servant, bore unto him: 13 And these are the names of his children according to their calling and generations. The firstborn of Ismael was Nabajoth, then Cedar, and Adbeel, and Mabsam, 14 And Masma, and Duma, and Massa, 15 Hadar, and Thema, and Jethur, and Naphis, and Cedma. 16 These are the sons of Ismael: and these are their names by their castles and towns, twelve princes of their tribes. 17 And the years of Ismael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven, and decaying he died, and was gathered unto his people. 18 And he dwelt from Hevila as far as Sur, which looketh towards Egypt, to them that go towards the Assyrians. He died in the presence of all his brethren.
19 These also are the generations of Isaac the son of Abraham: Abraham begot Isaac: 20 Who when he was forty years old, took to wife Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel the Syrian of Mesopotamia, sister to Laban. 21 And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive. 22 But the children struggled in her womb, and she said: If it were to be so with me, what need was there to conceive? And she went to consult the Lord. 23 And he answering, said: Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be divided out of thy womb, and one people shall overcome the other, and the elder shall serve the younger.
24 And when her time was come to be delivered, behold twins were found in her womb. 25 He that came forth first was red, and hairy like a skin: and his name was called Esau. Immediately the other coming forth, held his brother's foot in his hand: and therefore he was called Jacob. 26 Isaac was threescore years old when the children were born unto him. 27 And when they were grown up, Esau became a skilful hunter, and a husbandman: but Jacob, a plain man, dwelt in tents. 28 Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his hunting: and Rebecca loved Jacob. 29 And Jacob boiled pottage: to whom Esau, coming faint out of the field, 30 Said: Give me of this red pottage, for I am exceeding faint. For which reason his name was called Edom. 31 And Jacob said to him: Sell me thy first birthright. 32 He answered: Lo I die, what will the first birthright avail me? 33 Jacob said: Swear therefore to me. Esau swore to him, and sold his first birthright. 34 And so taking bread and the pottage of lentils, he ate, and drank, and went on his way; making little account of having sold his first birthright.

1 Abraham vero aliam duxit uxorem nomine Ceturam: 2 quæ peperit ei Zamran et Jecsan, et Madan, et Madian, et Jesboc, et Sue. 3 Jecsan quoque genuit Saba et Dadan. Filii Dadan fuerunt Assurim, et Latusim, et Loomin. 4 At vero ex Madian ortus est Epha, et Opher, et Henoch, et Abida, et Eldaa: omnes hi filii Ceturæ. 5 Deditque Abraham cuncta quæ possederat, Isaac: 6 filiis autem concubinarum largitus est munera, et separavit eos ab Isaac filio suo, dum adhuc ipse viveret, ad plagam orientalem. 7 Fuerunt autem dies vitæ Abrahæ, centum septuaginta quinque anni. 8 Et deficiens mortuus est in senectute bona, provectæque ætatis et plenus dierum: congregatusque est ad populum suum. 9 Et sepelierunt eum Isaac et Ismaël filii sui in spelunca duplici, quæ sita est in agro Ephron filii Seor Hethæi, e regione Mambre, 10 quem emerat a filiis Heth: ibi sepultus est ipse, et Sara uxor ejus. 11 Et post obitum illius benedixit Deus Isaac filio ejus, qui habitabat juxta puteum nomine Viventis et videntis.
12 Hæ sunt generationes Ismaël filii Abrahæ, quem peperit ei Agar Ægyptia, famula Saræ: et 13 hæc nomina filiorum ejus in vocabulis et generationibus suis. Primogenitus Ismaëlis Nabaioth, deinde Cedar, et Adbeel, et Mabsam, 14 Masma quoque, et Duma, et Massa, 15 Hadar, et Thema, et Jethur, et Naphis, et Cedma. 16 Isti sunt filii Ismaëlis: et hæc nomina per castella et oppida eorum, duodecim principes tribuum suarum. 17 Et facti sunt anni vitæ Ismaëlis centum triginta septem, deficiensque mortuus est, et appositus ad populum suum. 18 Habitavit autem ab Hevila usque Sur, quæ respicit Ægyptum introëuntibus Assyrios; coram cunctis fratribus suis obiit.
19 Hæ quoque sunt generationes Isaac filii Abraham: Abraham genuit Isaac: 20 qui cum quadraginta esset annorum, duxit uxorem Rebeccam filiam Bathuelis Syri de Mesopotamia, sororem Laban. 21 Deprecatusque est Isaac Dominum pro uxore sua, eo quod esset sterilis: qui exaudivit eum, et dedit conceptum Rebeccæ. 22 Sed collidebantur in utero ejus parvuli; quæ ait: Si sic mihi futurum erat, quid necesse fuit concipere? perrexitque ut consuleret Dominum. 23 Qui respondens ait:
Duæ gentes sunt in utero tuo,
et duo populi ex ventre tuo dividentur,
populusque populum superabit,
et major serviet minori.
24 Jam tempus pariendi advenerat, et ecce gemini in utero ejus reperti sunt. 25 Qui prior egressus est, rufus erat, et totus in morem pellis hispidus: vocatumque est nomen ejus Esau. Protinus alter egrediens, plantam fratris tenebat manu: et idcirco appellavit eum Jacob. 26 Sexagenarius erat Isaac quando nati sunt ei parvuli. 27 Quibus adultis, factus est Esau vir gnarus venandi, et homo agricola: Jacob autem vir simplex habitabat in tabernaculis. 28 Isaac amabat Esau, eo quod de venationibus illius vesceretur: et Rebecca diligebat Jacob. 29 Coxit autem Jacob pulmentum: ad quem cum venisset Esau de agro lassus, 30 ait: Da mihi de coctione hac rufa, quia oppido lassus sum. Quam ob causam vocatum est nomen ejus Edom. 31 Cui dixit Jacob: Vende mihi primogenita tua. 32 Ille respondit: En morior, quid mihi proderunt primogenita? 33 Ait Jacob: Jura ergo mihi. Juravit ei Esau et vendidit primogenita. 34 Et sic, accepto pane et lentis edulio, comedit et bibit, et abiit, parvipendens quod primogenita vendidisset.
