Genesis 25

Abraham's Death

1

Now Abraham took another wife,  1whose name was Keturah.

2

 aShe bore to him Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah.

3

Jokshan  1became the father of Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim.

4

The sons of Midian were Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah.

5

 aNow Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac;

6

but to the sons of  1his concubines, Abraham gave gifts while he was still living, and  asent them away from his son Isaac eastward, to the land of the east.

7

These are  1all the years of Abraham's life that he lived,  aone hundred and seventy-five years.

8

Abraham breathed his last and died  ain a  1ripe old age, an old man and satisfied with life; and he was  bgathered to his people.

9

Then his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in  athe cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, facing Mamre,

10

 athe field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth; there Abraham was buried with Sarah his wife.

11

It came about after the death of Abraham, that  aGod blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac  1lived by  bBeer-lahai-roi.

Descendants of Ishmael

12

Now these are the records of the generations of  aIshmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's maid, bore to Abraham;

13

and these are the names of  athe sons of Ishmael, by their names,  1in the order of their birth: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael, and Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam

14

and Mishma and Dumah and Massa,

15

Hadad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish and Kedemah.

16

These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their villages, and by their camps;  atwelve princes according to their  1tribes.

17

These are the years of the life of Ishmael,  aone hundred and thirty-seven years; and he breathed his last and died, and was  bgathered to his people.

18

They  1settled from  aHavilah to  bShur which is  2east of Egypt  3as one goes toward Assyria;  che  4settled in defiance of all his  5relatives.

Isaac's Sons

19

Now these are the records of  athe generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham  1became the father of Isaac;

20

and Isaac was forty years old when he took  aRebekah, the  bdaughter of Bethuel the  1Aramean of Paddan-aram, the  csister of Laban the  1Aramean, to be his wife.

21

Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren; and  athe LORD  1answered him and Rebekah his wife  bconceived.

22

But the children struggled together within her; and she said, "If it is so, why then am I this way?" So she went to  ainquire of the LORD.

23

The LORD said to her, " aTwo nations are in your womb;  bAnd two peoples will be separated from your body; And one people shall be stronger than the other; And  cthe older shall serve the younger."

24

When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

25

Now the first came forth red,  aall over like a hairy garment; and they named him Esau.

26

Afterward his brother came forth with  ahis hand holding on to Esau's heel, so  bhis name was called  1Jacob; and Isaac was  csixty years old when she gave birth to them.

27

When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, but Jacob was a  1peaceful man,  2 aliving in tents.

28

Now Isaac loved Esau, because  1he had  aa taste for game,  bbut Rebekah loved Jacob.

29

When Jacob had cooked  astew, Esau came in from the field and he was  1famished;

30

and Esau said to Jacob, "Please let me have a swallow of  1that red stuff there, for I am  2famished." Therefore his name was called  3Edom.

31

But Jacob said, " 1First sell me your  abirthright."

32

Esau said, "Behold, I am about to die; so of what use then is the birthright to me?"

33

And Jacob said, " 1First swear to me"; so he swore to him, and  asold his birthright to Jacob.

34

Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew; and he ate and drank, and rose and went on his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
