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 Abidah - , 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.
