Genesis 25

1 And Abraham married another wife, named Cetura:

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

2 Who bore him Zamran, and Jecsan, and Madan, and Madian, and Jesboc, and Sue.

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

3 Jecsan also begot Saba and Dadan. The children of Dadan were Assurim, and Latusim, and Loomin.

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

4 But of Madian was born Epha, and Opher, and Henoch, and Abida, and Eldaa: all these were the children of Cetura.

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 his possessions to Isaac.

And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.

6 And to the children of the concubines he gave gifts, and separated them from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, to the east country.

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

7 And the days of Abraham’s life were a hundred and seventy-five years.

And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.

8 And decaying he died in a good old age, and having lived a long time, and being full of days: and was gathered to his people.

Then 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 Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, which was situated in the field of Ephron the son of Seor the Hethite, 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 is before Mamre;

10 Which he had bought of the children of Heth: there was he buried, and Sara his wife.

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

11 And after his death, God blessed Isaac his son, who dwelt by the well named Of the living and seeing.

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

12 These are the generations of Ismael the son of Abraham, whom Agar the Egyptian, Sara’s servant, bore unto him:

Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:

13 And these are the names of his children according to their calling and generations. The firstborn of Ismael was Nabajoth, then Cedar, and Adbeel, and Mabsam.

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

14 And Masma, and Duma, and Massa,

And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

15 Hadar, and Thema, and Jethur, and Naphis, and Cedma.

Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:

16 These are the sons of Ismael: and these are their names by their castles and towns, twelve princes of their tribes.

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 Ismael’s life were a hundred and thirty-seven, and decaying he died, and was gathered unto his people.

And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people.

18 And he dwelt from Hevila as far as Sur, which looketh towards Egypt, to them that go towards the Assyrians. He died in the presence of all his brethren.

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

19 These also are the generations of Isaac the son of Abraham: Abraham begot Isaac:

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

20 Who when he was forty years old, took to wife Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel the Syrian of Mesopotamia, sister to Laban.

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

21 And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive.

And Isaac intreated YHWH for his wife, because she was barren: and YHWH was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22 But the children struggled in her womb: and she said: If it were to be so with me, what need was there to conceive? And she went to consult 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 YHWH.

23 And he answering said: Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be divided out of thy womb, and one people shall overcome the other, and the elder shall serve the younger.

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

24 And when her time was come to be delivered, behold twins were found in her womb.

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

25 He that came forth first was red, and hairy like a skin: and his name was called Esau. Immediately the other coming forth, held his brother’s foot in his hand, and therefore he was called Jacob.

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

26 Isaac was threescore years old when the children were born unto him.

And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.

27 And when they were grown up, Esau became a skillful hunter, and a husbandman, but Jacob a plain man dwelt in tents.

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

28 Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his hunting: and Rebecca loved Jacob.

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

29 And Jacob boiled pottage: to whom Esau, coming faint out of the field,

And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:

30 Said: Give me of this red pottage, for I am exceeding faint. For which reason his name was called Edom.

And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.

31 And Jacob said to him: Sell me thy first birthright.

And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.

32 He answered: Lo I die, what will the first birthright avail me?

And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?

33 Jacob said: Swear therefore to me. Esau swore to him, and sold his first birthright.

And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

34 And so taking bread and the pottage of lentils, he ate, and drank, and went his way; making little account of having sold his first birthright.

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