Genesis 25

1And Abraam again took a wife, whose name was Chettura. 2And she bore to him Zombran, and Jezan, and Madal, and Madiam, and Jesboc, and Soie. 3And Jezan begot Saba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Assurians and the Latusians,and Laomim. 4And the sons of Madiamwere Gephar and Aphir, and Enoch, and Abeida, and Eldaga; all these were sons of Chettura. 5But Abraam gave all his possessions to Isaac his son. 6But to the sons of his concubines Abraam gave gifts, and he sent them away from his sonIsaac, while he was yet living, to the east into the country of the east. 7And thesewere the years of the days of the life of Abraam as many as he lived, a hundred and seventy-fiveyears. 8And Abraam failing died in a good old age, an old man and full of days, and was addedto his people. 9And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, in the field of Ephron theson of Saar the Chettite, which is over against Mambre: 10even the field and the cave which Abraam bought of the sons of Chet; there they buried Abraamand Sarrha his wife. 11And it came to pass after Abraam was dead, that God blessed Isaac his son, and Isaaclived by the well of the vision. 12And theseare the generations of Ismael the son of Abraam, whom Agar the Egyptian the handmaid of Sarrhabore to Abraam. 13And theseare the names of the sons of Ismael, according to the names of their generations. The firstbornof Ismael, Nabaioth, and Kedar, and Nabdeel, and Massam, 14and Masma, and Duma, and Masse, 15and Choddan, and Thaeman, and Jetur, and Naphes, and Kedma. 16Theseare the sons of Ismael, and these are their names in their tents and in their dwellings, twelveprinces according to their nations. 17And theseare the years of the life of Ismael, a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he failed and died,and was added to his fathers. 18And he lived from Evilat to Sur, which is opposite Egypt, until one comes to the Assyrians;he lived in the presence of all his brethren. 19And theseare the generations of Isaac the son of Abraam. 20Abraam begot Isaac. And Isaac was forty years old when he took as wife Rebecca, daughterof Bathuel the Syrian, out of Syrian Mesopotamia, sister of Laban the Syrian. 21And Isaac prayed the Lord concerning Rebecca his wife, because she was barren; and theLord heard him, and his wife Rebecca conceived in her womb. 22And the babes leaped within her; and she said, If it will be so with me, why is thisto me? And she went to enquire of the Lord. 23And the Lord said to her, There are two nations in your womb, and two peoples shall beseparated from your belly, and one people shall excel the other, and the elder shall serve the younger. 24And the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered, and she had twins in her womb. 25And the first came out red, hairy all over like a skin; and she called his name Esau. 26And after this came forth his brother, and his hand took hold of the heel of Esau; andshe called his name Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when Rebecca bore them. 27And the lads grew, and Esau was a man skilled in hunting, dwelling in the country, andJacob a simple man, dwelling in a house. 28And Isaac loved Esau, because his venison was his food, but Rebecca loved Jacob. 29And Jacob cooked pottage, and Esau came from the plain, fainting. 30And Esau said to Jacob, Let me taste of that red pottage, because I am fainting; thereforehis name was called Edom. 31And Jacob said to Esau, Sell me this day your birthright. 32And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and for what good does this birthrightbelong to me? 33And Jacob said to him, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him; and Esau sold his birthrightto Jacob. 34And Jacob gave bread to Esau, and pottage of lentiles; and he ate and drank, and he aroseand departed; so Esau slighted his birthright.
