1 Mosebok 25

Studie

   

1 Og Abraham tok sig atter en hustru; hun hette Ketura.

2 Med henne fikk han Simran og Joksan og Medan og Midian og Jisbak og Suah.

3 Og Joksan fikk sønnene Sjeba og Dedan; og Dedans barn var assurerne og letuserne og le'ummerne

4 Og Midians barn var Efa og Efer og Hanok og Abida og Elda'a; alle disse var Keturas barn.

5 Og Abraham gav Isak alt det han eide.

6 Men sønnene til de medhustruer som Abraham hadde, gav han gaver og lot dem, mens han enn levde, flytte bort fra Isak, sin sønn, østover, til Østerland.

7 Abrahams levetid og den alder han nådde, var hundre og fem og sytti år.

8 Så opgav Abraham ånden og døde i en god alderdom, gammel og mett av dager, og han blev samlet til sine fedre.

9 Og Isak og Ismael, hans sønner, begravde ham i Makpela-hulen på den mark som hadde tilhørt hetitten Efron, Sohars sønn, østenfor Mamre,

10 den mark Abraham hadde kjøpt av Hets barn; der blev Abraham begravet likesom Sara, hans hustru.

11 Og efter Abrahams død velsignet Gud Isak, hans sønn. Og Isak bodde ved brønnen Lakai o'i.

12 Dette er Ismaels, Abrahams sønns ættetavle, han som Abraham fikk med egypterkvinnen Hagar, Saras trælkvinne.

13 Dette er navneneIsmaels sønner - de navn som de har i sin ættetavle: Nebajot, Ismaels førstefødte, og Kedar og Adbe'el og Mibsam.

14 og Misma og Duma og Massa,

15 Hadar og Tema, Jetur, Nafis og Kedma.

16 Dette var Ismaels sønner, og dette var deres navn, i deres byer og leire, tolv ættehøvdinger.

17 Ismaels leveår var hundre og syv og tretti år; så opgav han ånden og døde og blev samlet til sine fedre.

18 Og de bodde fra Havila til Sur, som ligger midt for Egypten, og bortimot Assyria; han nedsatte sig østenfor alle sine brødre.

19 Dette er historien om Abrahams sønn Isaks ætt: Abraham fikk sønnen Isak.

20 Og Isak var firti år gammel da han ektet ebekka, som var datter til arameeren Betuel fra Mesopotamia og søster til arameeren Laban.

21 Og Isak bad til Herren for sin hustru, for hun var barnløs; og Herren bønnhørte ham, og ebekka, hans hustru, blev fruktsommelig.

22 Men fosterne støtte til hverandre i hennes liv; da sa hun: Er det således, hvorfor skal jeg da være til? Og hun gikk for å spørre Herren.

23 Og Herren sa til henne: I ditt liv er det to folk, og fra ditt skjød skal to folkeslag skille sig at; det ene folk skal være sterkere enn det andre, og den eldste skal tjene den yngste.

24 Da nu hennes tid var kommet at hun skulde føde, se, da var det tvillinger i hennes liv.

25 Og den som kom først frem, var rød og over hele kroppen som en lodden kappe; og de kalte ham Esau*. / {* d.e. den lodne.}

26 Derefter kom hans bror frem, og hans hånd holdt i Esaus hæl, og ham kalte de Jakob*. Isak var seksti år gammel da de blev født. / {* d.e. han holder i hælen.}

27 Da nu guttene vokste til, blev Esau en dyktig jeger, en mann som holdt til i skog og mark; men Jakob var en stillferdig mann, som holdt sig ved teltene.

28 Og Isak holdt mest av Esau, for han var glad i vilt; men ebekka holdt mest av Jakob.

29 Engang da Jakob holdt på å koke en velling, kom Esau hjem fra marken og var rent opgitt.

30 Og Esau sa til Jakob: La mig få til livs noget av det røde, det røde du har der, for jeg er rent opgitt! Derfor kalte de ham Edom*. / {* d.e. den røde.}

31 Men Jakob sa: Selg mig først din førstefødselsrett!

32 Esau svarte: Jeg holder på å ; hvad skal jeg da med førstefødselsretten?

33 Da sa Jakob: Gjør først din ed på det! Og han gjorde sin ed på det og solgte så sin førstefødselsrett til Jakob.

34 Og Jakob gav Esau brød og linsevelling, og han åt og drakk og stod op og gikk sin vei. Således ringeaktet Esau førstefødselsretten.

3250. Verses 7-10. And these are the days of the years of the lives of Abraham, which he lived; a hundred years, and seventy years, and five years. And Abraham expired and died in a good old age, an old man and sated, and was gathered to his peoples. And 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; the field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife. “And these are the days of the years of the lives of Abraham, which he lived,” signifies the state representative by Abraham of the Lord as to the Divine Itself; “a hundred years, and seventy years, and five years,” signifies the things that belong to this state; “and Abraham expired and died,” signifies the end of the representation by Abraham; “in a good old age, an old man and sated,” signifies something new in the representation; “and was gathered to his peoples,” signifies that these things were concerning Abraham; “and Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him,” signifies that the representative of the Lord was now taken up by Isaac and Ishmael; “in the cave of Machpelah,” signifies resurrection as to truth; “in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre,” signifies as to good; it also signifies the spiritual, as above, who receive truth and good from the Lord’s Divine Human, and are saved; “the field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth,” signifies the Lord’s spiritual kingdom thence derived; “there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife,” signifies resuscitation.

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.
