1 Poi Abrahamo prese un’altra moglie, per nome Ketura.

2 E questa gli partorì Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Madian, Jishbak e Shuach.

3 Jokshan generò Sceba e Dedan. I figliuoli di Dedan furono gli Asshurim, Letushim ed i Leummim.

4 E i figliuoli di Madian furono Efa, Efer, Hanoch, Abida ed Eldaa. Tutti questi furono i figliuoli di Ketura.

5 E Abrahamo dette tutto quello che possedeva a Isacco;

6 ma ai figliuoli delle sue concubine fece dei doni, e, mentre era ancora in vita, li mandò lungi dal suo figliuolo Isacco, verso levante, nel paese d’oriente.

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

8 Poi Abrahamo spirò in prospera vecchiezza, attempato e sazio di giorni, e fu riunito al suo popolo.

9 E Isacco e Ismaele, suoi figliuoli, io seppellirono nella spelonca di Macpela nel campo di Efron figliuolo di Tsoar lo Hitteo, ch’è dirimpetto a Mamre:

10 campo, che Abrahamo avea comprato dai figliuoli di Heth. Quivi furon sepolti Abrahamo e Sara sua moglie.

11 E dopo la morte d’Abrahamo, Iddio benedisse Isacco figliuolo di lui; e Isacco dimorò presso il pozzo di Lachai-Roi.

12 Or questi sono i discendenti d’Ismaele, figliuolo d’Abrahamo, che Agar, l’Egiziana, serva di Sara, avea partorito ad Abrahamo.

13 Questi sono i nomi de’ figliuoli d’Ismaele, secondo le loro generazioni: Nebaioth, il primogenito d’Ismaele; poi Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

14 Mishma, Duma, Massa, Hadar, Tema, Jethur,

15 Nafish e Kedma.

16 Questi sono i figliuoli d’Ismaele, e questi i loro nomi, secondo i loro villaggi e i loro accampamenti. Furono i dodici capi dei loro popoli.

17 E gli anni della vita d’Ismaele furono centotrenta sette; poi spirò, morì, e fu riunito al suo popolo.

18 E i suoi figliuoli abitarono da Havila fino a Shur, ch’è dirimpetto all’Egitto, andando verso l’Assiria. Egli si stabilì di faccia a tutti i suoi fratelli.

19 E questi sono i discendenti d’Isacco, figliuolo d’Abrahamo.

20 Abrahamo generò Isacco; e Isacco era in età di quarant’anni quando prese per moglie Rebecca, figliuola di Bethuel, l’Arameo di Paddan-Aram, e sorella di Labano, l’Arameo.

21 Isacco pregò istantemente l’Eterno per sua moglie, perch’ella era sterile. l’Eterno l’esaudì, e Rebecca, sua moglie, concepì.

22 E i bambini si urtavano nel suo seno; ed ella disse: "Se così è, perché vivo?" E andò a consultare l’Eterno.

23 E l’Eterno le disse: "Due nazioni sono nel tuo seno, e Due popoli separati usciranno dalle tue viscere. Uno dei Due popoli sarà più forte dell’altro, e il maggiore servirà il minore".

24 E quando venne per lei il tempo di partorire, ecco ch’ella aveva due gemelli nel seno.

25 E il primo che uscì fuori era rosso, e tutto quanto come un mantello di pelo; e gli fu posto nome Esaù.

26 Dopo uscì il suo fratello, che con la mano teneva il calcagno di Esaù; e gli fu posto nome Giacobbe. Or Isacco era in età di sessant’anni quando Rebecca li partorì.

27 I due fanciulli crebbero, ed Esaù divenne un esperto cacciatore, un uomo di campagna, e Giacobbe un uomo tranquillo, che se ne stava nelle tende.

28 Or Isacco amava Esaù, perché la cacciagione era di suo gusto; e Rebecca amava Giacobbe.

29 Or come Giacobbe s’era fatto cuocere una minestra, Esaù giunse dai campi, tutto stanco.

30 Ed Esaù disse a Giacobbe: "Deh, dammi da mangiare un po’ di cotesta minestra rossa; perché sono stanco". Per questo fu chiamato Edom.

31 E Giacobbe gli rispose: "Vendimi prima di tutto la tua primogenitura".

32 Ed Esaù disse: "Ecco io sto per morire; che mi giova la primogenitura?"

33 E Giacobbe disse: "Prima, giuramelo". Ed Esaù glielo giurò, e vendé la sua primogenitura a Giacobbe.

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

3230. Genesis 25

1. And Abraham took another wife; and her name was Keturah.

2. And she bore to him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.

3. And Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan; and the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.

4. And the sons of Midian, Ephah and Epher, and Enoch, 1 and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah.

5. And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.

6. And to the concubines' sons, whom Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and he sent them away from being with Isaac his son - while he was still living - eastwards to the land of the east.

7. And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, a hundred and seventy-five years.

8. And Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full [of years]; and he was gathered to his peoples.

9. And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him at the cave of Machpelah, at the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which faced Mamre.

10. The field which Abraham bought from the sons of Heth, there Abraham was buried and Sarah his wife.

11. And so it was after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelt in 2 Beer Lahai Roi.

12. And these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's servant-girl, bore to Abraham.

13. And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their births: Nebaioth, Ishmael's firstborn, and Kedar, and Abdeel, and Mibsam;

14. And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa;

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

16. And these are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, in their villages, and in their fortified places; twelve princes of their peoples.

17. And these are the years of Ishmael's life, a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his peoples.

18. And they resided from Havilah as far as Shur, which is opposite Egypt as you come towards Asshur. [His lot] fell opposite all his brothers.

19. And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begot Isaac.

20. And Isaac was a son of forty years when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife.

21. And Isaac prayed to Jehovah on behalf of his wife because she was barren; and Jehovah granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22. And the sons struggled together within her, and she said, If this is so, why am I [going through this]? And she went to inquire of Jehovah.

23. And Jehovah said to her, Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples will be separated from your bowels, and [one] people will prevail over [the other] people, and the greater will serve the less.

24. And her days for bringing forth were completed, and behold, there were twins in her womb.

25. And the first came out, ruddy all over, like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

26. And after that his brother came out, and his hand was grasping Esau's heel; and he called his name Jacob. And Isaac was a son of sixty years when she bore them.

27. And the boys grew up, and Esau was a man skilled in hunting, a man of the field; and Jacob was a blameless man, dwelling in tents.

28. And Isaac loved Esau because of the venison 3 in his mouth; and Rebekah loved Jacob.

29. And Jacob boiled pottage; and Esau came from the field, and he was weary.

30. And Esau said to Jacob, Let me sip now from the red [pottage], this red [pottage], for I am weary. Therefore he called his name Edom.

31. And Jacob said, Sell me - as if today - your birthright.

32. And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die; so what is this birthright to me?

33. And Jacob said, Swear to me, as if today; and he swore to him, and he sold his birthright to Jacob.

34. And Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil pottage; and he ate, and drank, and he rose up, and went. And Esau despised the birthright.

CONTENTS

In this chapter the subject in the internal sense is this:

(1) The Lord's spiritual kingdom and its derivatives, verses 1-4. It was separated from the Lord's celestial kingdom, verses 5-6. The representation of the Lord by Abraham came to an end, verses 7-8; and the representation of the Lord by Isaac and Ishmael started, verses 9-11.

脚注:

1. In most English versions this name appears as Hanoch, but in the Latin, as in the original Hebrew, the spelling is the same as that of the one mentioned in Genesis 4:17-18; 5:18-24.

2. literally, with

3. or hunting
