Бытие 25

Lernen

   

1 И взял Авраам еще жену, именем Хеттуру.

2 Она родила ему Зимрана, Иокшана, Медана, Мадиана, Ишбака и Шуаха.

3 Иокшан родил Шеву и Дедана. Сыны Дедана были: Ашурим, Летушим и Леюмим.

4 Сыны Мадиана: Ефа, Ефер, Ханох, Авида и Елдага. Все сии сыны Хеттуры.

5 И отдал Авраам все, что было у него, Исааку,

6 а сынам наложниц, которые были у Авраама, дал Авраам подарки и отослал их от Исаака, сына своего, еще при жизни своей, на восток, в землю восточную.

7 Дней жизни Авраамовой, которые он прожил, было сто семьдесят пять лет;

8 и скончался Авраам, и умер в старости доброй, престарелый и насыщенный жизнью , и приложился к народу своему.

9 И погребли его Исаак и Измаил, сыновья его, в пещере Махпеле, на поле Ефрона, сына Цохара, Хеттеянина, которое против Мамре,

10 на поле, которые Авраам приобрел от сынов Хетовых. Там погребеныАвраам и Сарра, жена его.

11 По смерти Авраама Бог благословил Исаака, сына его. Исаак жил при Беэр-лахай-рои.

12 Вот родословие Измаила, сына Авраамова, которого родила Аврааму Агарь Египтянка, служанка Саррина;

13 и вот имена сынов Измаиловых, имена их по родословию их: первенец Измаилов Наваиоф, за ним Кедар, Адбеел, Мивсам,

14 Мишма, Дума, Масса,

15 Хадад, Фема, Иетур, Нафиш и Кедма.

16 Сии суть сыны Измаиловы, и сии имена их, в селениях их, в кочевьях их. Это двенадцать князей племен их.

17 Лет же жизни Измаиловой было сто тридцать семь лет; и скончался он, и умер, и приложился к народу своему.

18 Они жили от Хавилы до Сура, что пред Египтом, как идешь к Ассирии. Они поселились пред лицем всех братьев своих.

19 Вот родословие Исаака, сына Авраамова. Авраам родил Исаака.

20 Исаак был сорока лет, когда он взял себе в жену Ревекку, дочь Вафуила Арамеянина из Месопотамии, сестру Лавана Арамеянина.

21 И молился Исаак Господу о жене своей, потому что она была неплодна; и Господь услышал его, и зачала Ревекка, жена его.

22 Сыновья в утробе ее стали биться, и она сказала: если так будет, то для чего мне это? И пошла вопросить Господа.

23 Господь сказал ей: два племени во чреве твоем, и два различных народа произойдут из утробы твоей; один народ сделается сильнеедругого, и больший будет служить меньшему.

24 И настало время родить ей: и вот близнецы в утробе ее.

25 Первый вышел красный, весь, как кожа, косматый; и нарекли ему имя Исав.

26 Потом вышел брат его, держась рукою своею за пяту Исава; и наречено ему имя Иаков. Исаак же был шестидесяти лет, когда они родились.

27 Дети выросли, и стал Исав человеком искусным в звероловстве, человеком полей; а Иаков человеком кротким, живущим в шатрах.

28 Исаак любил Исава, потому что дичь его была по вкусу его, а Ревекка любила Иакова.

29 И сварил Иаков кушанье; а Исав пришел с поля усталый.

30 И сказал Исав Иакову: дай мне поесть красного, красного этого, ибо я устал. От сего дано ему прозвание: Едом.

31 Но Иаков сказал: продай мне теперь же свое первородство.

32 Исав сказал: вот, я умираю, что мне в этом первородстве?

33 Иаков сказал: поклянись мне теперь же. Он поклялся ему, и продал первородство свое Иакову.

34 И дал Иаков Исаву хлеба и кушанья из чечевицы; и он ел и пил, и встал и пошел; и пренебрег Исав первородство.

Genesis 26

Lernen

   

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.
