However, while he was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them to the land of the east, away from Isaac, his son.

Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, which is near Mamre.

After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac his son, and Isaac lived near Beer Lahai Roi.
12 Voici la postérité d’Ismaël, fils d’Abraham, qu’Agar, l’Égyptienne, servante de Sara, avait enfanté à Abraham.
Now these were the descendants of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's servant, bore to Abraham.

These were Ishmael's sons, and these were their names, by their villages, and by their encampments; twelve princes according to their tribes.
17 Et voici les années de la vie d’Ismaël: cent trente-sept ans. Il expira et mourut, et il fut recueilli auprès de son peuple.
These were the years of the life of Ishmael, 137 years. He breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.
18 Ses fils habitèrent depuis Havila jusqu’à Schur, qui est en face de l’Égypte, en allant vers l’Assyrie. Il s’établit en présence de tous ses frères.
They lived from Havilah to Ashhur, which is near Egypt, as one goes toward Assyria. They lived in hostility with each other.
19 Voici la postérité d’Isaac, fils d’Abraham.
These were the events concerning Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.
20 Abraham engendra Isaac. Isaac était âgé de quarante ans, quand il prit pour femme Rebecca, fille de Bethuel, l’Araméen, de Paddan-Aram, et sœur de Laban, l’Araméen.
Isaac was forty years old when he took as his wife Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean.
21 Isaac implora l’Éternel pour sa femme, car elle était stérile, et l’Éternel l’exauça: Rebecca, sa femme, devint enceinte.
Isaac prayed to Yahweh for his wife because she was childless, and Yahweh answered his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 Les enfants se heurtaient dans son sein; et elle dit: S’il en est ainsi, pourquoi suis-je enceinte? Elle alla consulter l’Éternel.
The children struggled together within her, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” She went to ask Yahweh about this.
23 Et l’Éternel lui dit: Deux nations sont dans ton ventre, et deux peuples se sépareront au sortir de tes entrailles; un de ces peuples sera plus fort que l’autre, et le plus grand sera assujetti au plus petit.
Yahweh said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples will be separated from within you. One people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.”
24 Les jours où elle devait accoucher s’accomplirent; et voici, il y avait deux jumeaux dans son ventre.
When it was time for her to give birth, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 Le premier sortit entièrement roux, comme un manteau de poil; et on lui donna le nom d’Ésaü.
The first child came out red all over like a hairy garment. They called his name Esau.
26 Ensuite sortit son frère, dont la main tenait le talon d’Ésaü; et on lui donna le nom de Jacob. Isaac était âgé de soixante ans, lorsqu’ils naquirent.
After that, his brother came out. His hand was grasping Esau's heel. He was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when his wife bore them.
27 Ces enfants grandirent. Ésaü devint un habile chasseur, un homme des champs; mais Jacob fut un homme tranquille, qui restait sous les tentes.
The boys grew up, and Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a quiet man, who spent his time in the tents.
28 Isaac aimait Ésaü, parce qu’il mangeait du gibier; et Rebecca aimait Jacob.
Now Isaac loved Esau because he ate the animals that he had hunted, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Comme Jacob faisait cuire un potage, Ésaü revint des champs, accablé de fatigue.
Jacob cooked some stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was weak from hunger.
30 Et Ésaü dit à Jacob: Laisse-moi, je te prie, manger de ce roux, de ce roux-là, car je suis fatigué. C’est pour cela qu’on a donné à Ésaü le nom d’Édom.
Esau said to Jacob, “Feed me with that red stew. Please, I am exhausted!” That is why his name was called Edom.
31 Jacob dit: Vends-moi aujourd’hui ton droit d’aînesse.
Jacob said, “First sell me your birthright.”
32 Ésaü répondit: Voici, je m’en vais mourir; à quoi me sert ce droit d’aînesse?
Esau said, “Look, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”
33 Et Jacob dit: Jure-le moi d’abord. Il le lui jura, et il vendit son droit d’aînesse à Jacob.
Jacob said, “First swear to me,” so Esau swore an oath and in that way he sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 Alors Jacob donna à Ésaü du pain et du potage de lentilles. Il mangea et but, puis se leva et s’en alla. C’est ainsi qu’Ésaü méprisa le droit d’aînesse.
Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, then got up and went on his way. In this manner Esau despised his birthright.
