Genesis 25

1 And Abraham adds and takes a wife, and her name [is] Keturah;

And Abraham took another wife named Keturah.

2 and she bears to him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.

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

3 And Jokshan has begotten Sheba and Dedan; and the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim;

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

4 and the sons of Midian [are] Ephah, and Epher, and Enoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah: all these [are] sons of Keturah.

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

5 And Abraham gives all that he has to Isaac;

Now Abraham gave all his property to Isaac;

6 and to the sons of the concubines whom Abraham has, Abraham has given gifts, and sends them away from his son Isaac (in his being yet alive) eastward, to the east country.

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

7 And these [are] the days of the years of the life of Abraham, which he lived, one hundred and seventy-five years;

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

8 and Abraham expires, and dies in a good old age, aged and satisfied, and is gathered to his people.

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

9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael bury him at the cave of Machpelah, at the field of Ephron, son of Zoar the Hittite, which [is] before Mamre—

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;

10 the field which Abraham bought from the sons of Heth—there Abraham has been buried, and his wife Sarah.

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

11 And it comes to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blesses his son Isaac; and Isaac dwells by the Well of the Living One, my Beholder.

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

12 And these [are] the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, has borne to Abraham;

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

13 and these [are] the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their births: firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

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

14 and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

And Mishma and Dumah and Massa,

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

Hadad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:

16 these are sons of Ishmael, and these [are] their names, by their villages, and by their towers; twelve princes according to their peoples.

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

17 And these [are] the years of the life of Ishmael, one hundred and thirty-seven years; and he expires, and dies, and is gathered to his people;

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.

18 and they dwell from Havilah to Shur, which [is] before Egypt, in [your] going toward Asshur; in the presence of all his brothers has he fallen.

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

19 And these [are] the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham has begotten Isaac;

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

20 and Isaac is a son of forty years in his taking Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel the Aramean, from Padan-Aram, sister of Laban the Aramean, to him for a wife.

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.

21 And Isaac makes plea to YHWH before his wife, for she [is] barren: and YHWH accepts his plea, and his wife Rebekah conceives,

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.

22 and the children struggle together within her, and she says, “If [it is] right—why [am] I thus?” And she goes to seek YHWH.

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.

23 And YHWH says to her, “Two nations [are] in your womb, and two peoples from your bowels are parted; and the [one] people is stronger than the [other] people; and the older serves the younger.”

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.

24 And her days to bear are fulfilled, and behold, twins [are] in her womb;

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

25 and the first comes out all red as a hairy robe, and they call his name Esau;

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

26 and afterward his brother has come out, and his hand is taking hold on Esau’s heel, and one calls his name Jacob; and Isaac [is] a son of sixty years in her bearing them.

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.

27 And the youths grew, and Esau is a man acquainted [with] hunting, a man of the field; and Jacob [is] a plain man, inhabiting tents;

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.

28 and Isaac loves Esau, for [his] game [is] in his mouth; and Rebekah is loving Jacob.

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

29 And Jacob boils stew, and Esau comes in from the field, and he [is] weary;

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

30 and Esau says to Jacob, “Please let me eat some of this red-red thing, for I [am] weary”; therefore [one] has called his name Edom;

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.

31 and Jacob says, “Sell your birthright to me today.”

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

32 And Esau says, “Behold, I am going to die, and what is this to me—a birthright?”

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

33 And Jacob says, “Swear to me today”: and he swears to him, and sells his birthright to Jacob;

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

34 and Jacob has given bread and stew of lentils to Esau, and he eats, and drinks, and rises, and goes; and Esau despises the birthright.

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