Genesis 25

Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah.

Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.

She gave birth to Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.

Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.

And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.

The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah.

And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.

Now Abraham gave ^[a]everything that he had to Isaac;

And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.

but to the sons of his ^[b]concubines [Hagar and Keturah], Abraham gave gifts while he was still living and he sent them to the east country, away from Isaac his son [of promise].

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.

The days of Abraham’s life were a hundred and seventy-five years.

And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.

Then Abraham breathed his last and he died at a good old age, an old man who was satisfied [with life]; and he ^[c]was gathered to his people [who had preceded him in death].

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.

So his sons ^[d]Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is east of Mamre,

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 from the sons of Heth; there Abraham was buried with Sarah his wife.

The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.

Now after the death of Abraham, God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac lived at Beer-lahai-roi.

Descendants of Ishmael

And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.

Now ^[e]these are the records of the descendants of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maid, bore to Abraham;

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 [twelve] sons of Ishmael, named in the order of their births: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael, and Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

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,

Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:

These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their settlements, and by their encampments (sheepfolds); twelve princes (sheiks) according to their tribes.

These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.

Ishmael lived a hundred and thirty-seven years; then he breathed his last and died, and ^[f]was gathered to his people [who had preceded him in death].

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.

Ishmael’s sons (descendants) settled from Havilah to Shur which is ^[g]east of Egypt as one goes toward Assyria; he ^[h]settled ^[i]opposite (east) of all his relatives.

Isaac’s Sons

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.

Now these are the records of the descendants of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham was the father of Isaac.

And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:

Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean (Syrian) of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean.

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.

Isaac prayed to the Lord for his wife, because she was unable to conceive children; and the Lord granted his prayer and Rebekah his wife conceived [twins].

And Isaac intreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

But the children struggled together within her [kicking and shoving one another]; and she said, “If it is so [that the Lord has heard our prayer], why then am I this way?” So she went to inquire of the Lord [praying for an answer].

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.

The Lord said to her,

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.

When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

The first came out reddish all over like a hairy garment; and they named him Esau (hairy).

And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

Afterward his brother came out, and his hand grasped Esau’s heel, so he was named Jacob (^[j]one who grabs by the heel, supplanter). Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah gave birth to them.

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.

When the boys grew up, Esau was an able and skilled hunter, a man of the outdoors, but Jacob was a quiet and peaceful man, living in tents.

And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.

Now Isaac loved [and favored] Esau, because ^[k]he enjoyed eating his game, but Rebekah loved [and favored] Jacob.

And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.

Jacob had cooked [reddish-brown lentil] stew [one day], when Esau came from the field and was famished;

And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:

and Esau said to Jacob, “Please, let me have a quick swallow of that red stuff there, because I am exhausted and famished.” For that reason Esau was [also] called Edom (Red).

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.

Jacob answered, “First sell me your ^[l]birthright (the rights of a firstborn).”

And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.

Esau said, “Look, I am about to die [if I do not eat soon]; so of what use is this birthright to me?”

And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?

Jacob said, “Swear [an oath] to me today [that you are selling it to me for this food]”; so he swore [an oath] to him, and sold him his birthright.

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 lentil stew; and he ate and drank, and got up and went on his way. In this way Esau scorned his birthright.

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.
