Genesis 25

¹And Abraham took another wife and her name was Keturah.

²And she bore him Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Jishbak and Shuah.

³And Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan, and the sons of Dedan were Ashurim, Letushim, and Leumim.

⁴And the sons of Midian [were] Ephah and Epher and Enoch and Abida and Elda'ah; all these were the sons of Keturah.

⁵And Abraham gave all that he possessed to Isaac.

⁶And to the sons of Abraham's concubines, Abraham gave gifts, and he sent them away from his son Isaac while he [Abraham] was still alive, eastward to the land of the East.

⁷And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life that he lived: one hundred years and seventy years and five years.

⁸And Abraham expired and died in a good old age, old and satisfied, and he was gathered to his people.

⁹And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the Cave of Machpelah in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which faces Mamre,

¹⁰The field that Abraham had bought from the sons of Heth there Abraham and his wife Sarah were buried.

¹¹Now it came to pass after Abraham's death, that God blessed his son Isaac, and Isaac dwelt near Be'er Lachai Ro'i.

¹²Now these are the generations of Ishmael the son of Abraham, whom Hagar the Egyptian, the maidservant of Sarah, bore to Abraham.

¹³And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their names, according to their births: the firstborn of Ishmael was Nebaioth, and Kedar and Adbe'el and Mibsam,

¹⁴And Mishma and Dumah and Massa,

¹⁵Hadad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedmah.

¹⁶These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names in their open cities and in their walled cities, twelve princes to their nations.

¹⁷And these are the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred years and thirty years and seven years; and he expired and died and was gathered to his people.

¹⁸And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur, which borders on Egypt, going towards Asshur; before all his brothers he dwelt.

¹⁹And these are the generations of Isaac the son of Abraham; Abraham begot Isaac.

²⁰And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebecca the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Padan Aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to himself for a wife.

²¹And Isaac prayed to the Lord opposite his wife because she was barren, and the Lord accepted his prayer, and Rebecca his wife conceived.

²²And the children struggled within her, and she said, ‘If [it be] so, why am I [like] this?’ And she went to inquire of the Lord.

²³And the Lord said to her, ‘Two nations are in your womb, and two kingdoms will separate from your innards, and one kingdom will become mightier than the other kingdom, and the elder will serve the younger.

²⁴And her days to give birth were completed, and behold, there were twins in her womb.

²⁵And the first one emerged ruddy; he was completely like a coat of hair, and they named him Esau.

²⁶And afterwards, his brother emerged, and his hand was grasping Esau's heel, and he named him Jacob. Now Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them.

²⁷And the youths grew up, and Esau was a man who understood hunting, a man of the field, whereas Jacob was an innocent man, dwelling in tents.

²⁸And Isaac loved Esau because [his] game was in his mouth, but Rebecca loved Jacob.

²⁹Now Jacob cooked a pottage, and Esau came from the field, and he was faint.

³⁰And Esau said to Jacob, ‘Pour into [me] some of this red, red [pottage], for I am faint’; he was therefore named Edom.

³¹And Jacob said, ‘Sell me as of this day your birthright.’

³²Esau replied, ‘Behold, I am going to die; so why do I need this birthright?’

³³And Jacob said, ‘Swear to me as of this day’; so he swore to him, and he sold his birthright to Jacob.

³⁴And Jacob gave Esau bread and a pottage of lentils, and he ate and drank and arose and left, and Esau despised the birthright.
