This was the field Abraham had bought from the Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah.

After Abraham's death, God blessed his son Isaac, who was living near Beer-lahai-roi.

This is the genealogy of Abraham's son Ishmael. His mother Hagar was Sarah's Egyptian slave.

Ishmael's descendants inhabited the region from Havilah to Shur, near the border of Egypt in the direction of Asshur. They were forever fighting with one other.
19 Nke a bụ akụkọ banyere usoro agbụrụ Aịzik nwa Ebraham. Ebraham bụ nna Aịzik.
The following is the genealogy of Abraham's son Isaac. Abraham was the father of Isaac.
20 Aịzik gbara iri afọ anọ mgbe ọ lụrụ Ribeka, nwa Betuel, onye Aram si nʼobodo Padan Aram, nwanne Leban, onye Aram.
When Isaac was 40 he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and the sister of Laban the Aramean.
21 Aịzik kpere ekpere rịọọ Onyenwe anyị ka o nye nwunye ya nwa nʼihi na ọ bụ nwanyị aga. Onyenwe anyị zara ekpere ya. Nwunye ya, Ribeka dịịrị ime.
Isaac prayed to the Lord for help on behalf of his wife because she couldn't have children. The Lord answered his prayer and she became pregnant.
22 Ụmụ o bu nʼafọ bidoro na-alụ ọgụ nʼime afọ ya. Nʼihi nke a, o kwuru sị, “Gịnị mere ihe dị otu a ji eme m?” Ya mere, ọ gara jụta ase nʼaka Onyenwe anyị.
The twin babies inside her struggled with each other. So she asked the Lord, “Why is this happening to me?”
23 Onyenwe anyị gwara ya sị, “Mba abụọ dị gị nʼafọ, ụzọ mba abụọ dị nʼime gị ka a ga-ekewa. Otu ụzọ ga-adị ike karịa nke ọzọ, nke okenye ga-ejere nke nta ozi.”
“You have two nations inside you,” the Lord replied. “You're going to give birth to two peoples who will compete against each other. One will be stronger than the other; the older one will be the servant of the younger one.”
24 Mgbe oge ime ya zuru, ụmụ abụọ dị nʼakpanwa ya.
When the time came she gave birth to twins.
25 Ahụ nwa nke mbụ buru ụzọ pụta na-acha uhie uhie, ahụ ya niile dịka uwe ajị. Nʼihi ya, ha kpọrọ aha ya Ịsọ.
The first baby to be born was red, and covered with hair like a coat. So they named him Esau.
26 Emesịa, nwanne ya pụtara, ma aka ya jidere ikiri ụkwụ Ịsọ. Nʼihi ya, a kpọrọ aha ya Jekọb. Aịzik gbara iri afọ isii mgbe Ribeka mụrụ ha.
Then his twin brother was born, holding on to Esau's heel. So he was named Jacob. Isaac was 60 when they were born.
27 Ha abụọ toro, Ịsọ ghọrọ onye ọka nʼịchụ nta, onye na-epiogharị nʼọhịa, ebe Jekọb bụ nwoke dị nwayọọ, onye na-anọ nʼetiti ụlọ ikwu.
The boys grew up and Esau became a skilled hunter, at home in the countryside. Jacob was quiet and liked to stay at home in the tents.
28 Aịzik hụrụ Ịsọ nʼanya nʼihi na ụtọ anụ Ịsọ na-egbute nʼọhịa na-adị ya mma, ma Ribeka hụrụ Jekọb nʼanya.
Isaac loved Esau because he brought him tasty wild game to eat, while Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Otu ụbọchị, Jekọb nọ na-esi ofe mgbe Ịsọ si nʼọhịa bata. Agụụ na-agụkwa ya nke ukwuu.
One day Jacob was cooking some stew when Esau got back from the countryside, tired out and starving hungry.
30 Ịsọ rịọrọ Jekọb sị, “Nyetụ m ụfọdụ nʼime nri a na-acha uhie uhie ị na-esi ka m rie, nʼihi na agụụ na-agụ m hie nne.” (Ọ bụ ihe a mere e ji na-akpọ ya Edọm.)
“Give me some of that red stew,” Esau told Jacob. “I'm absolutely starving!” (That's how Esau got his other name, “Edom,” meaning “red.”)
31 Ma Jekọb zara ya, “Buru ụzọ resi m ọnọdụ ịbụ ọkpara gị.”
“First sell me your rights as the firstborn son,” Jacob replied.
32 Ịsọ sịrị, “Gịnị bụ uru ọnọdụ ịbụ ọkpara bara mgbe m na-anwụ nʼagụụ?”
“Look! I'm dying here! What use are the rights of the firstborn to me?” Esau declared.
33 Jekọb sịrị ya, “Buru ụzọ ṅụọrọ m iyi.” Ya mere, ọ ṅụụrụ ya iyi, sị otu a resi Jekọb ọnọdụ ọkpara ya.
“First you have to swear to me,” Jacob demanded. So Esau swore an oath selling his rights of the firstborn to Jacob.
34 Mgbe ahụ, Jekọb nyere Ịsọ achịcha na ofe lentil o siri. O riri, ṅụọkwa, bilie ọtọ pụọ. Ya mere Ịsọ ledara ọnọdụ ịbụ ọkpara nna ya anya.
Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then he got up and left. By doing this Esau showed how little he cared for his rights as the firstborn son.
