GE-25:1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name [was]
Keturah.
GE-25:2 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and
Midian,
and Ishbak, and Shuah.
GE-25:3 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of
Dedan
were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
GE-25:4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch,
and
Abidah, and Eldaah. All these [were] the children of Keturah.
GE-25:5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
GE-25:6 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.
GE-25:7 And these [are] the days of the years of Abraham's life
which
he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
GE-25:8 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.
GE-25:9 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;
GE-25:10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth:
there
was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
GE-25:11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that
God
blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
GE-25:12 Now these [are] the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's
son,
whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
GE-25:13 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,
GE-25:14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
GE-25:15 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
GE-25:16 These [are] the sons of Ishmael, and these [are] their
names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes
according
to their nations.
GE-25:17 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.
GE-25:18 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.
GE-25:19 And these [are] the generations of Isaac, Abraham's
son:
Abraham begat Isaac:
GE-25:20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to
wife,
the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to
Laban
the Syrian.
GE-25:21 And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she
[was]
barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife
conceived.
GE-25:22 And the children struggled together within her; and she
said, If [it be] so, why [am] I thus? And she went to inquire of
the
LORD.
GE-25:23 And the LORD 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.
GE-25:24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled,
behold,
[there were] twins in her womb.
GE-25:25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy
garment;
and they called his name Esau.
GE-25:26 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.
GE-25:27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a
man of
the field; and Jacob [was] a plain man, dwelling in tents.
GE-25:28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of [his]
venison:
but Rebekah loved Jacob.
GE-25:29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field,
and he
[was] faint:
GE-25:30 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.
GE-25:31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
GE-25:32 And Esau said, Behold, I [am] at the point to die: and
what
profit shall this birthright do to me?
GE-25:33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware
unto him:
and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
GE-25:34 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.
