Gen 25
1
And Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.
2
And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
3
And Jokshan engendered Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and
Letushim, and Leummim.
4
And the sons of Midian: Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these
were the children of Keturah.
5
And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.
6
But to the sons of the concubines, that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts. And he sent
them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, to the east country.
7
And these are the days of the years of Abraham`s life which he lived, a hundred threescore
and fifteen years.
8
And Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full [of
years], and was gathered to his people.
9
And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of
Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre.
10
The field which Abraham purchased of the children of Heth. There was Abraham buried,
and Sarah his wife.
11
And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son. And
Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.
12
Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham`s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian,
Sarah`s handmaid, bare to Abraham.
13
And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their
generations: the first-born of Ishmael, Nebaioth, and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
14
and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
15
Hadad, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16
These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by
their encampments. Twelve princes according to their nations.
17
And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty and seven years.
And he gave up the ghost and died, and was gathered to his people.
18
And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria.
He abode over against all his brethren.
19
And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham`s son. Abraham engendered Isaac.
20
And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian
of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.
21
And Isaac entreated YHWH for his wife, because she was barren. And YHWH was entreated
of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22
And the children struggled together within her. And she said, If it be so, wherefore
do I live? And she went to inquire of YHWH.
23
And YHWH said to 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.
24
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her
womb.
25
And the first came forth red, all over like a hairy garment. And they called his name
Esau.
26
And after that came forth his brother, and his hand had hold on Esau`s heel. And his
name was called Jacob. And Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
27
And the boys grew. And Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. And Jacob was
a quiet man, dwelling in tents.
28
Now Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison. And Rebekah loved Jacob.
29
And Jacob boiled pottage. And Esau came in from the field, and he was faint.
30
And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray you, with that same red [pottage]. For I am
faint. Therefore was his name called Edom.
31
And Jacob said, Sell me first your birthright.
32
And Esau said, Behold, I am about to die. And what profit shall the birthright do
to me?
33
And Jacob said, Swear to me first. And he swore to him. And he sold his birthright
to Jacob.
34
And Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils. And he did eat and drink, and rose
up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
