| 25 | Genesis | ||
| 1 | Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. | Generations - Abraham. Gn.25.1-6 | |
| 2 | She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. | ||
| 3 | Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. | ||
| 4 | The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. | ||
| 5 | Abraham gave all he had to Isaac. | ||
| 6 | But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, and while he was still living he sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward to the east country. | ||
| 7 | These are the days of the years of Abraham's life, a hundred and seventy-five years. | The death of Abraham. Gn.25.7-11 | |
| 8 | Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people. | ||
| 9 | Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre, | ||
| 10 | the field which Abraham purchased from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried, with Sarah his wife. | ||
| 11 | After the death of Abraham God blessed Isaac his son. And Isaac dwelt at Beer-lahai-roi. | ||
| 12 | These are the descendants of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's maid, bore to Abraham. | Generations - Ishmael. Gn.25.12-18 | |
| 13 | These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, named in the order of their birth: Nebaioth, the first-born of Ishmael; and Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, | ||
| 14 | Mishma, Dumah, Massa, | ||
| 15 | Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. | ||
| 16 | These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their villages and by their encampments, twelve princes according to their tribes. | ||
| 17 | (These are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty-seven years; he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his kindred.) | ||
| 18 | They dwelt from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria; he settled over against all his people. | ||
| 19 | These are the descendants of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham was the father of Isaac, | The birth of Esau and Jacob. Gn.25.19-26 | |
| 20 | and Isaac was forty years old when he took to wife Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean. | ||
| 21 | And Isaac prayed to Yahweh for his wife, because she was barren; and Yahweh granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived. | ||
| 22 | The children struggled together within her; and she said, "If it is thus, why do I live?" So she went to inquire of Yahweh. | ||
| 23 | And Yahweh said to her, and two peoples, born of you, shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the elder shall serve the younger." | ||
| 24 | When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. | ||
| 25 | The first came forth red, all his body like a hairy mantle; so they called his name Esau. | ||
| 26 | Afterward his brother came forth, and his hand had taken hold of Esau's heel; so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. | ||
| 27 | When the boys grew up, Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents. | Esau sells his birthright. Gn.25.27-34 | |
| 28 | Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his game; but Rebekah loved Jacob. | ||
| 29 | Once when Jacob was boiling pottage, Esau came in from the field, and he was famished. | ||
| 30 | And Esau said to Jacob, "Let me eat some of that red pottage, for I am famished!" (Therefore his name was called Edom.) | ||
| 31 | Jacob said, "First sell me your birthright." | ||
| 32 | Esau said, "I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?" | ||
| 33 | Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. | ||
| 34 | Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils, and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright. | ||
