¹ Y tú, hijo de hombre, tómate un adobe, y ponlo delante de ti, y pinta sobre él la ciudad de Jerusalén;

² y pondrás contra ella cerco, y edificarás contra ella fortaleza, y sacarás contra ella baluarte, y asentarás delante de ella campo, y pondrás contra ella arietes alrededor.

³ Y tú tómate una sartén de hierro, y ponla en lugar de muro de hierro entre ti y la ciudad, y afirmarás tu rostro contra ella, y será en lugar de cerco, y la sitiarás. Es señal a la Casa de Israel.

⁴ Y tú dormirás sobre tu lado izquierdo, y pondrás sobre él la maldad de la Casa de Israel. El número de los días que dormirás sobre él, llevarás sobre ti la maldad de ellos.

⁵ Yo te he dado los años de su maldad por el número de los días, trescientos noventa días; y llevarás sobre ti la maldad de la Casa de Israel.

⁶ Y cumplidos éstos, dormirás sobre tu lado derecho segunda vez, y llevarás sobre ti la maldad de la Casa de Judá cuarenta días, día por año, día por año te lo he dado.

⁷ Y al cerco de Jerusalén afirmarás tu rostro, y descubierto tu brazo, profetizarás contra ella.

⁸ Y he aquí que yo puse sobre ti cuerdas, y no te tornarás de un lado al otro lado, hasta que hayas cumplido los días de tus vueltas.

⁹ Y tú toma para ti trigo, y cebada, y habas, y lentejas, y millo, y avena, y ponlo en un vaso, y hazte pan de ello el número de los días que durmieres sobre tu lado; trescientos noventa días comerás de él.

¹⁰ Y la comida que has de comer será por peso de veinte siclos al día; de tiempo a tiempo la comerás.

¹¹ Y beberás el agua por medida, la sexta parte de un hin; de tiempo en tiempo la beberás.

¹² Y comerás pan de cebada cocido debajo de la ceniza; y lo cocerás con los estiércoles que salen del hombre, delante de los ojos de ellos.

¹³ Y dijo el SEÑOR: Así comerán los hijos de Israel su pan inmundo, entre los gentiles a donde los lanzaré yo .

¹⁴ Y dije: ¡Ah Señor DIOS! He aquí que mi alma no es inmunda, ni nunca desde mi juventud hasta este tiempo comí cosa mortecina ni despedazada, ni nunca en mi boca entró carne inmunda.

¹⁵ Y me respondió: He aquí te doy estiércoles de bueyes en lugar de los estiércoles de hombre, y dispondrás tu pan con ellos.

¹⁶ Y me dijo: Hijo de hombre, he aquí que yo quebranto el sostén del pan en Jerusalén, y comerán el pan por peso, y con angustia; y beberán el agua por medida, y con espanto.

¹⁷ Porque les faltará el pan y el agua, y se espantarán los unos con los otros, y se desmayarán por su maldad.

²⁴ Setenta semanas están determinadas (Heb. cortadas ) sobre tu pueblo y sobre tu Santa Ciudad, para acabar la prevaricación, y concluir el pecado, y expiar la iniquidad; y para traer la justicia de los siglos, y sellar la visión y la profecía, y ungir el lugar santísimo.

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.
