Chapter
Twenty-Five
25:1 Then
again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. 25:2 And
she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and 25:3 And
Jokshan begat 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 Lahairoi. 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; and Kedar, 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 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 Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian. 25:21 And
Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the
LORD was
intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 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, all over 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 in tents. 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 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 to me 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. |
