Jokshan became the father of Sheba, and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.

5 Abraham gav Isak alt, hvad han ejede;

And Abraham gave all that he owned to his son Isaac,

6 men de Sønner, Abraham havde med sine Medhustruer, skænkede han Gaver og sendte dem, medens han endnu levede, bort fra sin Søn Isak, østpaa til Østlandet.

and to the sons of Abraham's secondary wives, Abraham gave gifts. He sent them away from Isaac his son, while he was still living, eastward, to the east country.

7 De Aar, Abraham levede, udgjorde 175;

This was the length of Abraham's life: one hundred seventy-five years.

11 Og da Abraham var død, velsignede Gud hans Søn Isak. Isak boede ved Be'er-lahaj-ro'i.

It happened after the death of Abraham that God blessed Isaac, his son. Isaac lived by Beer Lahai Roi.

17 Ismaels Leveaar udgjorde 137; saa udaandede han; han døde og samledes til sin Slægt.

These are the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred thirty-seven years. He breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.

18 De havde deres Boliger fra Havila til Sjur over for Ægypten hen ad Assjur til. Lige for Øjnene af alle sine Brødre slog han sig ned.

They lived from Havilah to Shur, which is near Egypt, all the way to Asshur. He settled near all his kinsmen.

19 Dette er Abrahams Søn Isaks Slægtebog. Abraham avlede Isak.

These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.

20 Isak var fyrretyve Aar gammel, da han tog Rebekka, en Datter af Aramæeren Betuel fra Paddan-Aram og Søster til Aramæeren Laban, til Hustru.

Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife.

21 Men Isak bad til HERREN for sin Hustru, thi hun var ufrugtbar; og HERREN bønhørte ham, og Rebekka, hans Hustru, blev frugtsommelig.

Isaac prayed for his wife, because she was barren. And God was moved by his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22 Men da Sønnerne brødes i hendes Liv, sagde hun: »Staar det saaledes til, hvorfor lever jeg da?« Og hun gik hen for at adspørge HERREN.

The children struggled together within her. She said, "If all is well, why am I like this?" She went to inquire of God.

23 Da svarede HERREN hende: »To Folkeslag er i dit Liv, to Folk skal gaa ud af dit Skød! Det ene skal kue det andet, den ældste tjene den yngste!«

And he 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 Da nu Tiden kom, at hun skulde føde, var der Tvillinger i hendes Liv.

When the time came for her to give birth, look, there were twins in her womb.

25 Den første kom frem rødlig og lodden som en Skindkappe over hele Kroppen; og de kaldte ham Esau.

The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau.

26 Derefter kom hans Broder frem med Haanden om Esaus Hæl; derfor kaldte de ham Jakob. Isak var tresindstyve Aar gammel, da de fødtes.

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 Drengene voksede til, og Esau blev en dygtig Jæger, der færdedes i Ødemarken, men Jakob en fredsommelig Mand, en Mand, som boede i Telt.

The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.

28 Isak holdt mest af Esau, thi han spiste gerne Vildt; men Rebekka holdt mest af Jakob.

And Isaac loved Esau, because he had a taste for wild animals, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

29 Jakob havde engang kogt en Ret Mad, da Esau udmattet kom hjem fra Marken.

Now Jacob was cooking stew, and Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.

30 Da sagde Esau til Jakob: »Lad mig faa noget af det røde, det røde der, thi jeg er ved at dø af Sult!« Derfor kaldte de ham Edom.

Esau said to Jacob, "Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished." Therefore his name was called Edom.

31 Men Jakob sagde: »Du maa først sælge mig din Førstefødselsret!«

Jacob said, "First, sell me your birthright."

32 Esau svarede: »Jeg er jo lige ved at omkomme; hvad bryder jeg mig om min Førstefødselsret!«

Esau said, "Look, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?"

33 Men Jakob sagde: »Du maa først sværge mig det til!« Da svor Esau paa det og solgte sin Førstefødselsret til Jakob.

Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore to him, and he sold his birthright to Jacob.

34 Saa gav Jakob Esau Brød og kogte Linser, og da han havde spist og drukket, stod han op og gik sin Vej. Saaledes lod Esau haant om sin Førstefødselsret.

Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
