Genesi 25

Studie

   

1 ED Abrahamo prese un’altra moglie, il cui nome era Chetura.

2 Ed ella gli partorì Zimran, e Iocsan, e Medan, e Madian, e Isbac, e Sua.

3 E Iocsan generò Seba e Dedan. Ed i figliuoli di Dedan furono Assurim, e Letusim, e Leummim.

4 Ed i figliuoli di Madian furono Efa, ed Efer ed Hanoc, ed Abida, ed Eldaa. Tutti questi furono figliuoli di Chetura.

5 Ed Abrahamo donò tutto il suo avere ad Isacco.

6 Ed a’ figliuoli delle sue concubine diede doni; e mentre era in vita, li mandò via d’appresso al suo figliuolo Isacco, verso il Levante, nel paese Orientale.

7 Or il tempo della vita di Abrahamo fu di centosettanta cinque anni.

8 Poi trapassò, e morì in buona vecchiezza, attempato, e sazio di vita: e fu raccolto a’ suoi popoli.

9 E Isacco ed Ismaele, suoi figliuoli, lo seppellirono nella spelonca di Macpela nel campo di Efron, figliuoli di Sohar Hitteo, ch’è dirimpetto a Mamre;

10 ch’è il campo che Abrahamo avea comperato da’ figliuoli di Het; quivi fu seppellito Abrahamo, e Sara, sua moglie.

11 Ora, dopo che Abrahamo fu morto, Iddio benedisse Isacco, suo figliuolo; e Isacco abitò presso del Pozzo del Vivente che mi vede.

12 OR queste sono le generazioni d’Ismaele, figliuolo di Abrahamo, il quale Agar Egizia, serva di Sara, avea partorito ad Abrahamo.

13 E questi sono i nomi de’ figliuoli d’Ismaele secondo i lor nomi nelle lor generazioni: Il primogenito d’Ismaele fu Nebaiot; poi v’era Chedar, ed Adbeel, e Mibsam;

14 e Misma, e Duma, e Massa;

15 ed Hadar, e Tema, e Ietur, e Nafis, e Chedma.

16 Questi furono i figliuoli d’Ismaele, e questi sono i lor nomi, nelle lor villate, e nelle lor castella; e furono dodici principi fra’ lor popoli.

17 E gli anni della vita d’Ismaele furono centrentasette; poi trapassò, e morì, e fu raccolto a’ suoi popoli.

18 Ed i suoi figliuoli abitarono da Havila fin a Sur, ch’è dirimpetto all’Egitto, traendo verso l’Assiria. Il paese di esso gli scadde dirimpetto a tutti i suoi fratelli.

19 E QUESTE sono le generazioni d’Isacco, figliuolo di Abrahamo:

20 Abrahamo generò Isacco. Ed Isacco era d’età di quarant’anni, quando prese per moglie Rebecca, figliuola di Betuel, Sirio, da Paddanaram, e sorella di Labano, Sirio.

21 E Isacco fece orazione al Signore per la sua moglie; perciocchè ella era sterile: e il Signore l’esaudì; e Rebecca sua moglie concepette.

22 Ed i figliuoli si urtavano l’un l’altro nel suo seno. Ed ella disse: Se così è, perchè sono io in vita? E andò a domandarne il Signore.

23 E il Signore le disse: Due nazioni sono nel tuo seno; e Due popoli diversi usciranno delle tue interiora; e l’un popolo sarà più possente dell’altro, e il maggiore servirà al minore.

24 E quando fu compiuto il termine di essa da partorire, ecco, due gemelli erano nel suo seno.

25 E il primo uscì fuori, ed era rosso, tutto peloso come un mantel velluto; e gli fu posto nome Esaù.

26 Appresso uscì il suo fratello, il quale con la mano teneva il calcagno di Esaù; e gli fu posto nome Giacobbe. Or Isacco era d’età di settant’anni, quando ella li partorì.

27 ED i fanciulli crebbero; ed Esaù fu uomo intendente della caccia, uomo di campagna; ma Giacobbe fu uomo semplice, che se ne stava ne’ padiglioni.

28 E Isacco amava Esaù; perciocchè le selvaggine erano di suo gusto; e Rebecca amava Giacobbe.

29 Ora, concendo Giacobbe una minestra, Esaù giunse da’ campi, ed era stanco.

30 Ed Esaù disse a Giacobbe: Deh! dammi a mangiare un po’ di cotesta minestra rossa; perciocchè io sono stanco; perciò egli fu nominato Edom.

31 E Giacobbe gli disse: Vendimi oggi la tua primogenitura.

32 Ed Esaù disse: Ecco, io me ne vo alla morte, che mi gioverà la primogenitura?

33 E Giacobbe disse: Giurami oggi che tu me la vendi. Ed Esaù gliel giurò; e vendette la sua primogenitura a Giacobbe.

34 E Giacobbe diede ad Esaù del pane, ed una minestra di lenticchie. Ed egli mangiò e bevve; poi si levò e se ne andò. Così Esaù sprezzò la primogenitura.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

3281. 'And Isaac was a son of forty years' means from His own power by means of the conflicts brought about by temptations. This is clear from the representation of 'Isaac' as the Divine Rational, often dealt with already, from the meaning of 'forty' as temptations, dealt with in 730, 862, and from the meaning of 'years' as states, dealt with in 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, 2788. Consequently the internal sense of these words is that the Lord made His Rational Divine even as regards truth by means of the conflicts brought about by temptations, and so by His own power. For the Lord by His own power made everything human within Himself Divine by means of the temptations He underwent, as has been shown already in 1661, 1663, 1668, 1690, 1787, 2083, 2523, 2632, 2776, 3030, 3043, 3141.

Genesis 25

Studie

   

1 Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.

2 She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

3 Jokshan became the father of Sheba, and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.

4 The sons of Midian: Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.

5 Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac,

6 but to the sons of Abraham's concubines, Abraham gave gifts. He sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, to the east country.

7 These are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived: one hundred seventy-five years.

8 Abraham gave up the spirit, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

9 Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre,

10 the field which Abraham purchased of the children of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah, his wife.

11 It happened after the death of Abraham that God blessed Isaac, his son. Isaac lived by Beer Lahai Roi.

12 Now this is the history of the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore to Abraham.

13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to the order of their birth: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments: twelve princes, according to their nations.

17 These are the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred thirty-seven years. He gave up the spirit and died, and was gathered to his people.

18 They lived from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria. He lived opposite all his relatives.

19 This is the history of the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.

20 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.

21 Isaac entreated Yahweh for his wife, because she was barren. Yahweh was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22 The children struggled together within her. She said, "If it be so, why do I live?" She went to inquire of Yahweh.

23 Yahweh said to her, "Two nations are in your womb. Two peoples will be separated from your body. The one people will be stronger than the other people. The elder will serve the younger."

24 When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

25 The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau.

26 After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau's heel. He was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

27 The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.

28 Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate his venison. Rebekah loved Jacob.

29 Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.

30 Esau said to Jacob, "Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished." Therefore his name was called Edom.

31 Jacob said, "First, sell me your birthright."

32 Esau said, "Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?"

33 Jacob said, "Swear to me first." He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob.

34 Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
