Chapter 25 | |
Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. | |
And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan,
and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. | |
And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. | |
And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. | |
And Abraham gave all that he had unto
Isaac. | |
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. | |
And these are
the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years. | |
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. | |
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; | |
The field
which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife. | |
And
it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi. | |
| | Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom
Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham: |
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, | |
And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, |
|
Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah: | |
These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations. | |
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. | |
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. | |
And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac: | |
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. | |
And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. | |
And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of the LORD. | |
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. | |
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. | |
| | And the first came out red, all over like an hairy
garment; and they called his name Esau. |
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. | |
And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. | |
And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob. | |
| | And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint: |
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. | |
| | And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. |
And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? | |
And Jacob said, Swear to me this day;
and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. | |
Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright. |
