1 Abraham se casó con otra mujer. Su nombre era Quetura. 2 Con ella tuvo los siguientes hijos: Zimrán, Jocsán, Medán, Madián, Isbac y Súaj. 3 Jocsán fue el padre de Seba y Dedán. Los descendientes de Dedán fueron lo asureos, los letusitas y los leumitas. 4 Los hijos de Madián fueron Efa, Efer, Hanoc, Abida y Eldaa. Todos estos fueron los hijos de Quetura. 5 Abraham le dejó todas sus posesiones a Isaac. 6 Pero mientras aún estaba con vida, le dio regalos a los hijos de sus concubinas y las envió al oriente, para que vivieran lejos de Isaac. 7 Abraham vivió hasta la edad de 175 años 8 cuando dio su último suspiro y murió en buena vejez, habiendo vivido suficientes años. Había vivido una vida plena y ahora se había unido a sus antepasados en la muerte. 9 Sus hijos Isaac e Ismael lo sepultaron en la cueva de Macpela, cerca de Mamré, en el campo que antes había pertenecido a Efrón, hijo de Zojar, el hitita. 10 Esre fue el terreno que Abraham le había comprador a los hititas. Y Abraham fue sepultado allí, junto a su esposa Sara. 11 Después de la muerte de Abraham, Dios bendijo a su hijo Isaac, quien vivía cerca de Beer-lahai-roi. 12 Esta es la genealogía de Ismael, hijo de Abraham: Su madre Agar fue la esclava egipcia de Sara. 13 Y estos fueron los nombres de los hijos de Ismael, según su familia genealógica: Nebayot, (primogénito), Quedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14 Misma, Duma, Masá, 15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Nafis, y Quedema. 16 Estos fueron los hijos de Ismael, y también fueron los nombres de los lugares donde vivieron y acamparon: Las doce familias líderes de sus tribus. 17 Ismael vivió hasta la edad de 137 años. Entonces dio un último suspiro, y se unió a sus antepasados en la muerte. 18 Los descendientes de Ismael habitaron la región de Havila hasta Sur, cerca de la frontera de Egipto, en dirección de Asur. Y siempre estaban peleando unos con otros. 19 La siguiente es la genealogía Isaac, hijo de Abraham: Abraham fue el padre de Isaac. 20 Cuando Isaac cumplió los 40 años, se casó con Rebeca, la hija de Betuel el arameo de Padán-Harán y hermana de Labán el arameo. 21 Isaac oró al Señor pidiendo su ayuda en favor de su esposa porque no podía tener hijos. El Señor respondió su oración y ella quedó embarazada. 22 Los dos hijos que tuvo eran gemelos y peleaban dentro de su vientre. Entonces ella le preguntó al Señor: “¿Por qué me pasa esto a mí?” 23 “Tienes dentro de ti dos naciones”, respondió el Señor. “Darás a luz a dos hijos que competiránel uno contra el otro. Uno será más fuerte que el otro, y el mayor será siervo del menor”. 24 Cuando llegó el momento, Rebeca tuvo dos gemelos. 25 El primero en salir estaba rojo al nacer, y estaba cubierto de mucho cabello, como si fuera un cabrito. Por eso lo llamaron Esaú. 26 Luego salió su hermano gemelo, quien salió de la matriz agarrando el talón de Esaú. Por eso lo llamaron Jacob. Isaac tenía 60 años cuando sus dos hijos nacieron. 27 Estos dos hijos de Isaac crecieron, y Esaú se convirtió en un cazador de gran talento en el campo. Jacob era tranquilo y se quedaba en casa, en las tiendas. 28 Isaac amaba a Esaú porque le preparaba comida con los animales que cazaba, mientras que Rebeca amaba a Jacob. 29 Cierto día, Jacob estaba preparando un guisado cuando Esaú regresó del campo, cansado y muy hambriento. 30 “Dame un poco de ese guisado rojo”, le dijo Esaú a Jacob. “¡Muero de hambre!” (Fue así como Esaú obtuvo su otro nombre: “Edom”, que significa “rojo”). 31 “Primero véndeme tus derechos de primogénito”, le respondió Jacob. 32 “¡Mira! ¡Me estoy muriendo! ¿De qué me sirven esos derechos de primogénito?” dijo Esaú. 33 “Primero tienes que jurármelo”, exigió Jacob. Así que Esaú hizo juramento vendiéndole a Jacob sus derechos de primogénito. 34 Entonces Jacob le dio a Esaú un poco de pan, y un guisado de lentejas. Esaú comió y bebió hasta que se sació y se fue. Al hacer esto, Esaú demostró cuán poco le importaban sus derechos como hijo primogénito.

Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

    Thus, in the first place, at his birth, since he laid hold on his brother's heel, he was called Jacob, that is, the supplanter--one who holds, but is not held; binding the feet, but not being bound; striving and conquering; grasping in his hand his adversary's heel, that is, victory.
