Genesis 25:1-11

1 Abraham vero aliam duxit uxorem nomine Cetthuram

2 quae peperit ei Zamram et Iexan et Madan et Madian et Iesboch et Sue

3 Iexan quoque genuit Saba et Dadan filii Dadan fuerunt Assurim et Lathusim et Loommim

4 at vero ex Madian ortus est Epha et Opher et Enoch et Abida et Eldaa omnes hii filii Cetthurae

5 deditque Abraham cuncta quae possederat Isaac

6 filiis autem concubinarum largitus est munera et separavit eos ab Isaac filio suo dum adhuc ipse viveret ad plagam orientalem

7 fuerunt autem dies vitae eius centum septuaginta quinque anni

8 et deficiens mortuus est in senectute bona provectaeque aetatis et plenus dierum congregatusque est ad populum suum

9 et sepelierunt eum Isaac et Ismahel filii sui in spelunca duplici quae sita est in agro Ephron filii Soor Hetthei e regione Mambre

10 quem emerat a filiis Heth ibi sepultus est ipse et Sarra uxor eius

11 et post obitum illius benedixit Deus Isaac filio eius qui habitabat iuxta puteum nomine Viventis et videntis
