Genesis 25
1. Then again * Abraham took * a wife, and her name was Keturah.
2. And she bare * him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
3. And Jokshan begat * Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
4. And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5. And Abraham gave * all that he had unto Isaac.
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.
7. And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived * , an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
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.
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;
10. The field which Abraham purchased * of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried * , and Sarah his wife.
11. And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed * his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt * by the well Lahairoi.
12. Now these are the generations of Ishmael,Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare * unto Abraham:
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,
14. And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
15. Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
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.
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.
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.
19. And these are the generations of Isaac,Abraham's son: Abraham begat * Isaac:
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.
21. And Isaac intreated * the LORD for his wife, because she was barren:and the LORD was intreated * of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived * .
22. And the children struggled together * within her; and she said * , If it be so, why am I thus? And she went * to enquire * of the LORD.
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.
24. And when her days to be delivered * were fulfilled * , behold, there were twins in her womb.
25. And the first came out * red,all over like an hairy garment; and they called * his name Esau.
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.
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.
28. And Isaac loved * Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved * Jacob.
29. And Jacob sod * pottage: and Esau came * from the field, and he was faint:
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.
31. And Jacob said * , Sell * me this day thy birthright.
32. And Esau said * , Behold, I am at the point * to die * : and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
33. And Jacob said * , Swear * to me this day; and he sware * unto him: and he sold * his birthright unto Jacob.
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.
