¹ 亚伯拉罕又娶了一妻，名叫基土拉。

² 基土拉给他生了心兰、约珊、米但、米甸、伊施巴，和书亚。

³ 约珊生了示巴和底但。底但的子孙是亚书利族、利都是族，和利乌米族。

⁴ 米甸的儿子是以法、以弗、哈诺、亚比大，和以勒大。这都是基土拉的子孙。

⁵ 亚伯拉罕将一切所有的都给了以撒。

⁶ 亚伯拉罕把财物分给他庶出的众子，趁着自己还在世的时候打发他们离开他的儿子以撒，往东方去。

⁷ 亚伯拉罕一生的年日是一百七十五岁。

⁸ 亚伯拉罕寿高年迈，气绝而死，归到他列祖(原文作本民)那里。

⁹ 他两个儿子以撒、以实玛利把他埋葬在麦比拉洞里。这洞在幔利前、赫人琐辖的儿子以弗仑的田中，

¹⁰ 就是亚伯拉罕向赫人买的那块田。亚伯拉罕和他妻子撒拉都葬在那里。

¹¹ 亚伯拉罕死了以後，神赐福给他的儿子以撒。以撒靠近庇耳拉海莱居住。

¹² 撒拉的使女埃及人夏甲给亚伯拉罕所生的儿子是以实玛利。

¹³ 以实玛利儿子们的名字，按着他们的家谱记在下面。以实玛利的长子是尼拜约，又有基达、亚德别、米比衫、

¹⁴ 米施玛、度玛、玛撒、

¹⁵ 哈大、提玛、伊突、拿非施、基底玛。

¹⁶ 这是以实玛利众子的名字，照着他们的村庄、营寨，作了十二族的族长。

¹⁷ 以实玛利享寿一百三十七岁，气绝而死，归到他列祖(原文作本民)那里。

¹⁸ 他子孙的住处在他众弟兄东边，从哈腓拉直到埃及前的书珥，正在亚述的道上。

¹⁹ 亚伯拉罕的儿子以撒的後代记在下面。亚伯拉罕生以撒。

²⁰ 以撒娶利百加为妻的时候正四十岁。利百加是巴旦亚兰地的亚兰人彼土利的女儿，是亚兰人拉班的妹子。

²¹ 以撒因他妻子不生育，就为他祈求耶和华；耶和华应允他的祈求，他的妻子利百加就怀了孕。

²² 孩子们在他腹中彼此相争，他就说：若是这样，我为甚麽活着呢(或作我为甚麽如此呢)？他就去求问耶和华。

²³ 耶和华对他说：两国在你腹内；两族要从你身上出来。这族必强於那族；将来大的要服事小的。

²⁴ 生产的日子到了，腹中果然是双子。

²⁵ 先产的身体发红，浑身有毛，如同皮衣，他们就给他起名叫以扫(就是有毛的意思)。

²⁶ 随後又生了以扫的兄弟，手抓住以扫的脚跟，因此给他起名叫雅各(就是抓住的意思)。利百加生下两个儿子的时候，以撒年正六十岁。

²⁷ 两个孩子渐渐长大，以扫善於打猎，常在田野；雅各为人安静，常住在帐棚里。

²⁸ 以撒爱以扫，因为常吃他的野味；利百加却爱雅各。

²⁹ 有一天，雅各熬汤，以扫从田野回来累昏了。

³⁰ 以扫对雅各说：我累昏了，求你把这红汤给我喝。因此以扫又叫以东(就是红的意思)。

³¹ 雅各说：你今日把长子的名分卖给我罢。

³² 以扫说：我将要死，这长子的名分於我有甚麽益处呢？

³³ 雅各说：你今日对我起誓罢。以扫就对他起了誓，把长子的名分卖给雅各。

³⁴ 於是雅各将饼和红豆汤给了以扫，以扫吃了喝了，便起来走了。这就是以扫轻看了他长子的名分。

¹ There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.

² Yahweh appeared to him, and said, "Don't go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.

³ Live in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For to you, and to your seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.

⁴ I will multiply your seed as the stars of the sky, and will give to your seed all these lands. In your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed,

⁵ because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."

⁶ Isaac lived in Gerar.

⁷ The men of the place asked him about his wife. He said, "She is my sister," for he was afraid to say, "My wife," lest, he thought, "the men of the place might kill me for Rebekah, because she is beautiful to look at."

⁸ It happened, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was caressing Rebekah, his wife.

⁹ Abimelech called Isaac, and said, "Behold, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, 'She is my sister?'" Isaac said to him, "Because I said, 'Lest I die because of her.'"

¹⁰ Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us!"

¹¹ Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, "He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death."

¹² Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. Yahweh blessed him.

¹³ The man grew great, and grew more and more until he became very great.

¹⁴ He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines envied him.

¹⁵ Now all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.

¹⁶ Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go from us, for you are much mightier than we."

¹⁷ Isaac departed from there, encamped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.

¹⁸ Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father. For the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. He called their names after the names by which his father had called them.

¹⁹ Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.

²⁰ The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." He called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.

²¹ They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. He called its name Sitnah.

²² He left that place, and dug another well. They didn't argue over that one. He called it Rehoboth. He said, "For now Yahweh has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land."

²³ He went up from there to Beersheba.

²⁴ Yahweh appeared to him the same night, and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father. Don't be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your seed for my servant Abraham's sake."

²⁵ He built an altar there, and called on the name of Yahweh, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac's servants dug a well.

²⁶ Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his army.

²⁷ Isaac said to them, "Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?"

²⁸ They said, "We saw plainly that Yahweh was with you. We said, 'Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you,

²⁹ that you will do us no harm, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace.' You are now the blessed of Yahweh."

³⁰ He made them a feast, and they ate and drank.

³¹ They rose up some time in the morning, and swore one to another. Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

³² It happened the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water."

³³ He called it Shibah. Therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.

³⁴ When Esau was forty years old, he took as wife Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite.

³⁵ They grieved Isaac's and Rebekah's spirits.
