Genesis 25

1 And Abraam again took a wife, whose name was Chettura.

And Abraham took another wife named Keturah.

2 And she bore to him Zombran, and Jezan, and Madal, and Madiam, and Jesboc, and Soie.

And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.

3 And Jezan begot Saba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Assurians and the Latusians, and Laomim.

And Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan; and the sons of Dedan were the Asshurim, and the Letushim, and the Leummim.

4 And the sons of Madiam [were] Gephar and Aphir, and Enoch, and Abeida, and Eldaga; all these were sons of Chettura.

And the sons of Midian were Ephah, and Epher, and Enoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were sons of Keturah.

5 But Abraam gave all his possessions to Isaac his son.

And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.

6 But to the sons of his concubines Abraam gave gifts, and he sent them away from his son Isaac, while he was yet living, to the east into the country of the east.

And to the sons of the concubines that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and, while he yet lived, sent them away from Isaac his son, eastward to the east country.

7 And these [were] the years of the days of the life of Abraam as many as he lived, a hundred and seventy-five years.

And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived: a hundred and seventy-five years.

8 And Abraam failing died in a good old age, an old man and full of days, and was added to his people.

And Abraham expired and died in a good old age, old and full [of days]; and was gathered to his peoples.

9 And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, in the field of Ephron the son of Saar the Chettite, which is over against Mambre:

And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which was opposite to Mamre —

10 [even] the field and the cave which Abraam bought of the sons of Chet; there they buried Abraam and Sarrha his wife.

the field that Abraham had purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.

11 And it came to pass after Abraam was dead, that God blessed Isaac his son, and Isaac lived by the well of the vision.

And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac dwelt at Beer-lahai-roi.

12 And these [are] the generations of Ismael the son of Abraam, whom Agar the Egyptian the handmaid of Sarrha bore to Abraam.

And these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's bondwoman, bore to Abraham.

13 And these [are] the names of the sons of Ismael, according to the names of their generations. The firstborn of Ismael, Nabaioth, and Kedar, and Nabdeel, and Massam,

And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their names according to their generations: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

14 and Masma, and Duma, and Masse,

and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

15 and Choddan, and Thaeman, and Jetur, and Naphes, and Kedma.

Hadad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish and Kedmah.

16 These [are] the sons of Ismael, and these are their names in their tents and in their dwellings, twelve princes according to their nations.

These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, in their hamlets and their encampments — twelve princes of their peoples.

17 And these [are] the years of the life of Ismael, a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he failed and died, and was added to his fathers.

And these are the years of the life of Ishmael: a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he expired and died, and was gathered to his peoples.

18 And he lived from Evilat to Sur, which is opposite Egypt, until one comes to the Assyrians; he lived in the presence of all his brethren.

And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite to Egypt, as one goes towards Assyria. He settled before the face of all his brethren.

19 And these [are] the generations of Isaac the son of Abraam.

And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham begot Isaac.

20 Abraam begot Isaac. And Isaac was forty years old when he took as wife Rebecca, daughter of Bathuel the Syrian, out of Syrian Mesopotamia, sister of Laban the Syrian.

And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebecca as wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian.

21 And Isaac prayed the Lord concerning Rebecca his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord heard him, and his wife Rebecca conceived in her womb.

And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren; and Jehovah was entreated of him, and Rebecca his wife conceived.

22 And the babes leapt within her; and she said, If it will be so with me, why is this to me? And she went to enquire of the Lord.

And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If [it be] so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of Jehovah.

23 And the Lord said to her, There are two nations in your womb, and two peoples shall be separated from your belly, and one people shall excel the other, and the elder shall serve the younger.

And Jehovah said to her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples 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 the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered, and she had twins in her womb.

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

25 And the first came out red, hairy all over like a skin; and she called his name Esau.

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

26 And after this came forth his brother, and his hand took hold of the heel of Esau; and she called his name Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when Rebecca bore them.

And after that came his brother out; and his hand took hold of Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.

27 And the lads grew, and Esau was a man skilled in hunting, dwelling in the country, and Jacob a simple man, dwelling in a house.

And the boys grew, and Esau became a man skilled in hunting, a man of the field; and Jacob was a homely man, dwelling in tents.

28 And Isaac loved Esau, because his venison was his food, but Rebecca loved Jacob.

And Isaac loved Esau, because venison was to his taste; and Rebecca loved Jacob.

29 And Jacob cooked pottage, and Esau came from the plain, fainting.

And Jacob had cooked a dish; and Esau came from the field, and he was faint.

30 And Esau said to Jacob, Let me taste of that red pottage, because I am fainting; therefore his name was called Edom.

And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with the red — the red thing there, for I am faint. Therefore was his name called Edom.

31 And Jacob said to Esau, Sell me this day your birthright.

And Jacob said, Sell me now thy birthright.

32 And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and for what good does this birthright [belong] to me?

And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and of what use can the birthright be to me?

33 And Jacob said to him, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him; and Esau sold his birthright to Jacob.

And Jacob said, Swear unto me now. And he swore unto him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.

34 And Jacob gave bread to Esau, and pottage of lentiles; and he ate and drank, and he arose and departed; so Esau slighted his birthright.

And Jacob gave Esau bread and the dish of lentils; and he ate and drank, and rose up and went away. Thus Esau despised the birthright.
