Genesis 25

1 And Abraham addeth and taketh a wife, and her name [is] Keturah;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 And Abraham giveth all that he hath to Isaac;

But Abraam gave all his possessions to Isaac his son.

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

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.

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

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

8 and Abraham expireth, and dieth in a good old age, aged and satisfied, and is gathered unto his people.

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

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

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:

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

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

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

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

12 And these [are] births of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, hath borne to Abraham;

And these [are] the generations of Ismael the son of Abraam, whom Agar the Egyptian the hand-maid of Sarrha bore to Abraam.

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

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,

14 and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

and Masma, and Duma, and Masse,

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

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

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

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

17 And these [are] the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty and seven years; and he expireth, and dieth, and is gathered unto his people;

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.

18 and they tabernacle from Havilah unto Shur, which [is] before Egypt, in [thy] going towards Asshur; in the presence of all his brethren hath he fallen.

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

19 And these [are] births of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham hath begotten Isaac;

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

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

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

21 And Isaac maketh entreaty to Jehovah before his wife, for she [is] barren: and Jehovah is entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceiveth,

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.

22 and the children struggle together within her, and she saith, 'If [it is] right — why [am] I thus?' and she goeth to seek Jehovah.

And the babes leaped 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.

23 And Jehovah saith to her, 'Two nations [are] in thy womb, and two peoples from thy bowels are parted; and the [one] people than the [other] people is stronger; and the elder doth serve the younger.'

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

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

And the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered, and she had twins in her womb.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

29 And Jacob boileth pottage, and Esau cometh in from the field, and he [is] weary;

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

30 and Esau saith unto Jacob, 'Let me eat, I pray thee, some of this red red thing, for I [am] weary;' therefore hath [one] called his name Edom [Red];

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

31 and Jacob saith, 'Sell to-day thy birthright to me.'

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

32 And Esau saith, 'Lo, I am going to die, and what is this to me — birthright?'

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

33 and Jacob saith, 'Swear to me to-day:' and he sweareth to him, and selleth his birthright to Jacob;

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

34 and Jacob hath given to Esau bread and pottage of lentiles, and he eateth, and drinketh, and riseth, and goeth; and Esau despiseth the birthright.

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.
