{25:1} Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name [was] Keturah.
{25:2} And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, andIshbak, and Shuah.
{25:3} And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And thesons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
{25:4} And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these [were] the children of Keturah.
{25:5} And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
{25:6} 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.
{25:7} And these [are] the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
{25:8} 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.
{25:9} 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;
{25:10} The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
{25:11} And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi.
{25:12} Now these [are] the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bare unto Abraham
{25:13} And these [are] the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names,according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; andKedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
{25:14} And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
{25:15} Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
{25:16} These [are] the sons of Ishmael, and these [are] their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
{25:17} 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.
{25:18} 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.
{25:19} And these [are] the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son:Abraham begat Isaac:
{25:20} 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.
{25:21} And Isaac in treated the LORD forhis wife, because she [was] barren: and the LORD was in treated of him,and Rebekah his wife conceived.
{25:22} 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.
{25:23} 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.
{25:24} And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold,[there were] twins in her womb.
{25:25} And the first came out red, allover like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
{25:26} 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.
{25:27} And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob [was] a plain man, dwelling intents.
{25:28} And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of [his]venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
{25:29} And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he[was] faint:
{25:30} 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.
{25:31} And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
{25:32} And Esau said, Behold, I [am] at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
{25:33} And Jacob said, Swear tome this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
{25:34} 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.
