Genesis 25

1 And Abraham took another wife named Keturah.

Then Abraham took again a wife, and her name was Keturah.

2 She became the mother of Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah.

And she bore him Zimran, and Yokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Yishbak, and Shuach.

3 And Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. And from Dedan came the Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim.

And Yokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.

4 And from Midian came Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the offspring of Keturah.

And the sons of Midian: Ephah, and Epher, and Chanoch, and Abida', and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.

5 Now Abraham gave all his property to Isaac;

And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.

6 But to the sons of his other women he gave offerings, and sent them away, while he was still living, into the east country.

But unto the sons of the concubines that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he was yet living, eastward, unto the east country.

7 Now the years of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five.

And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, one hundred seventy and five years.

8 And Abraham came to his death, an old man, full of years; and he was put to rest with his people.

Then Abraham departed this life, 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, put him to rest in the hollow rock of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, near Mamre;

And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zochar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;

10 The same field which Abraham got from the children of Heth: there Abraham was put to rest with Sarah, his wife.

The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, with Sarah his wife.

11 Now after the death of Abraham, the blessing of God was with Isaac, his son.

And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lachai-roi.

12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whose mother was Hagar the Egyptian, the servant of Sarah:

Now theses are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore unto Abraham.

13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their generations: Ishmael's first son was Nebaioth; then Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam

And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the first-born of Ishmael, Nebayoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

14 And Mishma and Dumah and Massa,

And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

15 Hadad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:

Chadad, and Tema, Yetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names in their towns and their tent-circles; twelve chiefs with their peoples.

These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.

17 And the years of Ishmael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven: and he came to his end, and was put to rest with his people.

And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, one hundred and thirty and seven years: and he departed this life and died; and was gathered unto his people.

18 And their country was from Havilah to Shur which is east of Egypt: they took their place to the east of all their brothers.

And they dwelt from Chavilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: he dwelt in the presence of all his brethren.

19 Now these are the generations of Abraham's son Isaac:

And these are the generations of Isaac, the son of Abraham: Abraham begat Isaac.

20 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean of Paddan-aram, and the sister of Laban the Aramaean, to be his wife.

And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian, of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian, to himself as wife.

21 Isaac made prayer to the Lord for his wife because she had no children; and the Lord gave ear to his prayer, and Rebekah became with child.

And Isaac entreated the Lord in behalf of his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22 And the children were fighting together inside her, and she said, If it is to be so, why am I like this? So she went to put her question to the Lord.

And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why did I desire this? And she went to inquire of the Lord.

23 And the Lord said to her, Two nations are in your body, and two peoples will come to birth from you: the one will be stronger than the other, and the older will be the servant of the younger.

And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

24 And when the time came for her to give birth, there were two children in her body.

And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

25 And the first came out red from head to foot like a robe of hair, and they gave him the name of Esau.

And the first came out red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

26 And after him, his brother came out, gripping Esau's foot; and he was named Jacob: Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them.

And after that came his brother out, his hand holding on to Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

27 And the boys came to full growth; and Esau became a man of the open country, an expert bowman; but Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.

And the boys grew up: and Esau was an expert hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.

28 Now Isaac's love was for Esau, because Esau's meat was greatly to his taste: but Rebekah had more love for Jacob.

And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison; but Rebekah loved Jacob.

29 And one day Jacob was cooking some soup when Esau came in from the fields in great need of food;

And Jacob at one time boiled pottage, and Esau came from the field, and he was faint.

30 And Esau said to Jacob, Give me a full meal of that red soup, for I am overcome with need for food: for this reason he was named Edom.

And Esau said to Jacob, Let me swallow down, I pray thee, some of that yonder red pottage, for I am faint; therefore was his name called Edom.

31 And Jacob said, First of all give me your birthright.

And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy right of first-born.

32 And Esau said, Truly, I am at the point of death: what profit is the birthright to me?

And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die; and what profit then can the right of first-born be to me?

33 And Jacob said, First of all give me your oath; and he gave him his oath, handing over his birthright to Jacob.

And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore unto him, and he sold his right of first-born unto Jacob.

34 Then Jacob gave him bread and soup; and he took food and drink and went away, caring little for his birthright.

Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles, and he did eat and drink, and he rose up, and went his way; thus Esau despised the birthright.
