B’reshit 25 – ברשית כה

¹And Avraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah. ²And she bore him Zimran, and Yokshan, and Medan, and MidYan, and Ishbak, and Shu’ah. ³And Yokshan begot Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Ashurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. ⁴And the sons of MidYan: Efah, and Efer, and Khanokh, and Avida, and Elda’ah. All these were the children of Keturah. ⁵And Avraham gave all that he had unto Yitz’khak. ⁶But unto the sons of the concubines that Avraham had, Avraham gave gifts; and he sent them away from Yitz’khak his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country. ⁷And these are the days of the years of Avraham’s life which he lived, a hundred and seventy-five years. ⁸And Avraham expired, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people. ⁹And Yitz’khak and Yishma’el his sons buried him in the cave of Makhpelah, in the field of Efron Ben Tzokhar the Khiti, which is before Mamre; ¹⁰the field which Avraham purchased of the children of Khet; there was Avraham buried, and Sarah his wife. ¹¹And it came to pass after the death of Avraham, that Elohim blessed Yitz’khak his son; and Yitz’khak dwelt by Be’er-lakhai-ro’i.

¹²Now these are the generations of Yishma’el, Avraham’s son, whom Hagar the Mitzrit, Sarah’s handmaid, bore unto Avraham. ¹³And these are the names of the sons of Yishma’el, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Yishma’el, Nevayot; and Kedar, and Adbe’el, and Mivsam, ¹⁴and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa; ¹⁵Khadad, and Tema, Yetur, Nafish, and Kedem; ¹⁶these are the sons of Yishma’el, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments; twelve princes according to their nations. ¹⁷And these are the years of the life of Yishma’el, a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he expired and died; and was gathered unto his people. ¹⁸And they dwelt from Khavilah unto Shur that is before Mitzrayim, as you go toward Ashur: over against all his brethren he did settle.

Parashat Toldot

¹⁹And these are the generations of Yitz’khak, Avraham’s son: Avraham begot Yitz’khak. ²⁰And Yitz’khak was forty years old when he took Rivkah, the daughter of Betu’el the Arami, of Padan Aram, the sister of Lavan the Arami, to be his wife. ²¹And Yitz’khak entreated  יהוה  for his wife, because she was barren; and  יהוה  let Himself be entreated of him, and Rivkah his wife conceived. ²²And the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If it is so, why do I live?” And she went to inquire of  יהוה . And²³  יהוה  said unto her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples shall be separated from your bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.” ²⁴And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. ²⁵And the first came forth ruddy, all over like a hairy mantle; and they called his name Esav. ²⁶And after that came forth his brother, and his hand had hold on Esav’s heel; and his name was called Ya’akov. And Yitz’khak was sixty years old when she bore them. ²⁷And the boys grew; and Esav was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Ya’akov was a quiet man, dwelling in tents. ²⁸Now Yitz’khak loved Esav, because he did eat of his venison; and Rivkah loved Ya’akov. ²⁹And Ya’akov boiled pottage; and Esav came in from the field, and he was faint. ³⁰And Esav said to Ya’akov, “Let me eat, I pray, some of this red, red pottage; for I am faint.” Therefore was his name called Edom. ³¹And Ya’akov said, “Sell me first your birthright.” ³²And Esav said, “Behold, I am at the point to die; and what profit shall the birthright do to me?” ³³And Ya’akov said, “Swear to me first;” and he swore unto him; and he sold his birthright unto Ya’akov. ³⁴And Ya’akov gave Esav bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way. So Esav despised his birthright.
