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.
