Genesis 25

25Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. ²And ^ashe bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. ³And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. ⁴And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. ⁵And ^bAbraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. ⁶But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and ^csent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto ^dthe east country. ^7*And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years. ⁸Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died ^ein a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and ^fwas gathered to his people. ⁹And ^ghis 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; ^10hThe field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: ⁱthere was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife. ¹¹And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the ^kwell Lahai-roi.

¹²Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, ^lwhom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bare unto Abraham: ¹³And ^mthese 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, ¹⁴And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, ^15||Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah: ¹⁶These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; ⁿtwelve princes according to their nations. ^17*And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and ^ohe gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people. ^18pAnd they dwelt from Havilah unto ^qShur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he ^†died in the presence of all his brethren.

¹⁹And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: ^rAbraham begat Isaac: ^20*And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, ^sthe daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of ^tPadan-aram, ^uthe sister to Laban the Syrian. ²¹And Isaac intreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: ^wand the Lord was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. ²²And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she ^xwent to inquire of the Lord. ²³And the Lord said unto her,

^yTwo 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 ^zthe elder shall serve the younger.

²⁴And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. ²⁵And the first came out red, ^aall over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. ²⁶And after that came his brother out, and ^bhis hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and ^chis name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them. ^27*And the boys grew: and Esau was ^da cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was ^ea plain man, ^fdwelling in tents. ²⁸And Isaac loved Esau, because ^†he did ^geat of his venison: ^hbut Rebekah loved Jacob.

²⁹And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint: ³⁰And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, ^†with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called ^||Edom. ³¹And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. ³²And Esau said, Behold, I am ^†at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? ³³And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and ⁱhe sold his birthright unto Jacob. ³⁴Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: ⁱthus Esau despised his birthright.
