Chapter 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 Abida, 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 Lahai-roi. |
| 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 Padan-aram, 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 inquire 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. |
