Genesis 25

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

And Abraham took another wife and her name, was Keturah;

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

and she bare to him Zimran, and Yokshan, 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, Yokshan, begat Sheba and Dedan, —and, the sons of Dedan, were 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 the sons of Midian, Ephah and Epher and Hanoch, and Abida. and Eldaah, —all these, were the sons of Keturah.

5 And Abraham gives all that he has to Isaac;

And Abraham gave all that he had 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 the concubines whom Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, —and then sent them away from Isaac his son while he himself yet lived, eastward unto the land of the east.

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

Now, these, are the days of the years of the life of Abraham which he lived—a hundred and seventy-five years.

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

So Abraham breathed his last, and died in a fine old age, old and satisfied, —and was gathered unto 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 buried him, in the cave of Machpelah, —in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, which is over against Mamre;

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

the field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth, —there, was buried Abraham, 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.

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

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 son of Abraham, —whom hagar the Egyptian woman the handmaid of Sarah bare to Abraham;

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,

and these, are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names after their generations, —the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, and 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, same, are the sons of Ishmael and these, their names, by their villages and by their encampments, —twelve princes, after their tribes.

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 these, are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty-seven years, —and he breathed his last and died, and was gathered unto 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 they stretched their habitations from Havilah as far as to Shur, which is over against Egypt, as thou goest in towards Assyria, —over against all his brethren, he settled down.

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

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

and it came to pass that, Isaac, was forty years old, when he took Rebekah daughter of Bethuel the Syrian, of the Plain of Syria, —sister of Laban the Syrian. to himself to 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,

So then Isaac made entreaty unto Yahweh in behalf of his wife, for she was, barren, —and Yahweh suffered himself to be entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

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 sons within her struggled together, so she said—If so, wherefore now am, I, [thus]? And she went to seek Yahweh.

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 Yahweh said to her. Two nations, are in thy womb, And two races, from thy body, shall be parted, —And, one race, shall be stronger, than the other race, And the elder, shall serve the younger.

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

Then were fulfilled her days to bring forth, —and lo! twins in her womb.

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

And the first came forth red, all over, as a mantle of hair, —so they called his name, 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 that, came forth his brother with his hand fast hold of the heel of Esau, so they called his name Jacob—Now, Isaac, was sixty years old when she bare 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 when the youths grew up, it came to pass that Esau was a man skilled in game a man of the field, —but, Jacob, was a ready man, dwelling in tents.

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

And, Isaac, loved, Esau, because of the game he put in his mouth, —but, Rebekah, was a lover of Jacob!

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

And Jacob had boiled pottage, —when Esau came in from the field, he, being famished.

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;

So Esau said unto Jacob. Do let me devour some of the red—this red, for, famished, I am. For this cause, was his name called Edom.

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

And Jacob said, —Come sell, just now, thy birthright unto me.

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

And Esau said, Here am I, on the point of dying, —wherefore, then, should I, have, a birthright?

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

And Jacob said, Come swear to me just now! And he sware to him, —and sold 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.

And Jacob, having given to Esau bread and a dish of lentils, he did eat and drink and rose up, and went his way, —thus Esau despised his birthright!
