And Abraam again took a wife, whose name was Chettura.

2 quæ peperit ei Zamran et Iecsan, et Madam, et Madian, et Iesboc, et Sue.

And she bore to him Zombran, and Jezan, and Madal, and Madiam, and Jesboc, and Soie.

3 Iecsan quoque genuit Saba, et Dadan. Filii Dadan fuerunt Assurim, et Latusim, et Loomin.

And Jezan begot Saba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Assurians and the Latusians, and Laomim.

4 At vero ex Madian ortus est Epha, et Opher, et Henoch, et Abida, et Eldaa: omnes hi filii Ceturæ.

And the sons of Madiam [were] Gephar and Aphir, and Enoch, and Abeida, and Eldaga; all these were sons of Chettura.

5 Deditque Abraham cuncta quæ possederat, Isaac:

But Abraam gave all his possessions to Isaac his son.

6 filiis autem concubinarum largitus est munera, et separavit eos ab Isaac filio suo, dum adhuc ipse viveret, ad plagam orientalem.

But to the sons of his concubines Abraam gave gifts, and he sent them away from his son Isaac, while he was yet living, to the east into the country of the east.

7 Fuerunt autem dies vitæ Abrahæ, centum septuaginta quinque anni.

And these [were] the years of the days of the life of Abraam as many as he lived, a hundred and seventy-five years.

8 Et deficiens mortuus est in senectute bona, provectæque ætatis, et plenus dierum: congregatusque est ad populum suum.

And Abraam failing died in a good old age, an old man and full of days, and was added to his people.

9 Et sepelierunt eum Isaac et Ismael filii sui in spelunca duplici, quæ sita est in agro Ephron filii Seor Hethæi, e regione Mambre,

And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, in the field of Ephron the son of Saar the Chettite, which is over against Mambre:

10 quem emerat a filiis Heth: ibi sepultus est ipse, et Sara uxor eius.

[even] the field and the cave which Abraam bought of the sons of Chet; there they buried Abraam and Sarrha his wife.

11 Et post obitum illius benedixit Deus Isaac filio eius, qui habitabat iuxta puteum nomine Viventis et videntis.

And it came to pass after Abraam was dead, that God blessed Isaac his son, and Isaac lived by the well of the vision.

12 Hæ sunt generationes Ismael filii Abrahæ, quem peperit ei Agar Ægyptia, famula Saræ: et

And these [are] the generations of Ismael the son of Abraam, whom Agar the Egyptian the handmaid of Sarrha bore to Abraam.

13 hæc nomina filiorum eius in vocabulis et generationibus suis. Primogenitus Ismaelis Nabaioth, deinde Cedar, et Adbeel, et Mabsam,

And these [are] the names of the sons of Ismael, according to the names of their generations. The firstborn of Ismael, Nabaioth, and Kedar, and Nabdeel, and Massam,

and Masma, and Duma, and Masse,

15 Hadar, et Thema, et Iethur, et Naphis, et Cedma.

and Choddan, and Thaeman, and Jetur, and Naphes, and Kedma.

16 Isti sunt filii Ismaelis: et hæc nomina per castella et oppida eorum, duodecim principes tribuum suarum.

These [are] the sons of Ismael, and these are their names in their tents and in their dwellings, twelve princes according to their nations.

17 Et facti sunt anni vitæ Ismaelis centum triginta septem, deficiensque mortuus est, et appositus ad populum suum.

And these [are] the years of the life of Ismael, a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he failed and died, and was added to his fathers.

18 Habitavit autem ab Hevila usque Sur, quæ respicit Ægyptum introeuntibus Assyrios. Coram cunctis fratribus suis obiit.

And he lived from Evilat to Sur, which is opposite Egypt, until one comes to the Assyrians; he lived in the presence of all his brethren.

19 Hæ quoque sunt generationes Isaac filii Abraham: Abraham genuit Isaac:

And these [are] the generations of Isaac the son of Abraam.

20 qui cum quadraginta esset annorum, duxit uxorem Rebeccam filiam Bathuelis Syri de Mesopotamia, sororem Laban.

Abraam begot Isaac. And Isaac was forty years old when he took as wife Rebecca, daughter of Bathuel the Syrian, out of Syrian Mesopotamia, sister of Laban the Syrian.

21 Deprecatusque est Isaac Dominum pro uxore sua, eo quod esset sterilis: qui exaudivit eum, et dedit conceptum Rebeccæ.

And Isaac prayed the Lord concerning Rebecca his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord heard him, and his wife Rebecca conceived in her womb.

22 Sed collidebantur in utero eius parvuli; quæ ait: Si sic mihi futurum erat, quid necesse fuit concipere? Perrexitque ut consuleret Dominum.

And the babes leaped within her; and she said, If it will be so with me, why is this to me? And she went to enquire of the Lord.

23 Qui respondens, ait: Duæ gentes sunt in utero tuo, et duo populi ex ventre tuo dividentur, populusque populum superabit, et maior serviet minori.

And the Lord said to her, There are two nations in your womb, and two peoples shall be separated from your belly, and one people shall excel the other, and the elder shall serve the younger.

24 Iam tempus pariendi advenerat, et ecce gemini in utero eius reperti sunt.

And the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered, and she had twins in her womb.

25 Qui prior egressus est, rufus erat, et totus in morem pellis hispidus: vocatumque est nomen eius Esau. Protinus alter egrediens, plantam fratris tenebat manu: et idcirco appellavit eum Iacob.

And the first came out red, hairy all over like a skin; and she called his name Esau.

26 Sexagenarius erat Isaac quando nati sunt ei parvuli.

And after this came forth his brother, and his hand took hold of the heel of Esau; and she called his name Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when Rebecca bore them.

27 Quibus adultis, factus est Esau vir gnarus venandi, et homo agricola: Iacob autem vir simplex habitabat in tabernaculis.

And the lads grew, and Esau was a man skilled in hunting, dwelling in the country, and Jacob a simple man, dwelling in a house.

28 Isaac amabat Esau, eo quod de venationibus illius vesceretur: et Rebecca diligebat Iacob.

And Isaac loved Esau, because his venison was his food, but Rebecca loved Jacob.

29 Coxit autem Iacob pulmentum: ad quem cum venisset Esau de agro lassus,

And Jacob cooked pottage, and Esau came from the plain, fainting.

30 ait: Da mihi de coctione hac rufa, quia oppido lassus sum. Quam ob causam vocatum est nomen eius Edom.

And Esau said to Jacob, Let me taste of that red pottage, because I am fainting; therefore his name was called Edom.

31 Cui dixit Iacob: Vende mihi primogenita tua.

And Jacob said to Esau, Sell me this day your birthright.

32 Ille respondit: En morior, quid mihi proderunt primogenita?

And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and for what good does this birthright [belong] to me?

33 Ait Iacob: Iura ergo mihi. Iuravit ei Esau, et vendidit primogenita.

And Jacob said to him, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him; and Esau sold his birthright to Jacob.

34 Et sic accepto pane et lentis edulio, comedit, et bibit, et abiit; parvipendens quod primogenita vendidisset.

And Jacob gave bread to Esau, and pottage of lentiles; and he ate and drank, and he arose and departed; so Esau slighted his birthright.
