Genesis 25

Abraham’s Death

1 Now Abraham took another wife, ^{▼▼Lit and her name}whose name was Keturah. 2 ^bShe bore to him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. 3 Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. 4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All of these were the sons of Keturah. 5 ^cNow Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac; 6 but to the sons of ^{▼▼Lit concubines which belonged to Abraham}his concubines, Abraham gave gifts while he was still living, and ^esent them away from his son Isaac eastward, to the land of the east.

7 These are ^{▼▼Lit the days of}all the years of Abraham’s life that he lived, ^g175 years. 8 Abraham breathed his last and died ^hat a good old age, an old man and satisfied with life; and he was ⁱgathered to his people. 9 Then his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in ^jthe cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, facing Mamre, 10 ^kthe field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth; there Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah. 11 It came about after the death of Abraham, that ^lGod blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac ^{▼▼Lit dwelt}lived by ⁿBeer-lahai-roi.

Descendants of Ishmael

12 Now these are the records of the generations of ^oIshmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s slave woman, bore to Abraham; 13 and these are the names of ^pthe sons of Ishmael, by their names, ^{▼▼Lit in regard to their generations}in the order of their birth: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael, 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 camps; ^rtwelve princes according to their ^{▼▼Or peoples}tribes. 17 These are the years of the life of Ishmael, ^t137 years; and he breathed his last and died, and was ^ugathered to his people. 18 They ^{▼▼Lit dwelt}settled from ^wHavilah to ^xShur which is ^{▼▼Lit before}east of Egypt ^{▼▼Lit as you go}going toward Assyria; ^aahe ^{▼▼Lit fell over against}settled in defiance of all his relatives.

Isaac’s Sons

19 Now these are the records of ^acthe generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham fathered Isaac; 20 and Isaac was forty years old when he took ^adRebekah, the ^aedaughter of Bethuel the ^{▼▼I.e., Syrian}Aramean of Paddan-aram, the ^agsister of Laban the ^{▼▼I.e., Syrian}Aramean, to be his wife. 21 Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was unable to have children; and ^aithe Lord ^{▼▼Lit was entreated of him}answered him, and his wife Rebekah ^akconceived. 22 But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If it is so, why am I in this condition?” So she went to ^alinquire of the Lord. 23 And the Lord said to her,

“ ^amTwo nations are in your womb;
^anAnd two peoples will be separated from your body;
And one people will be stronger than the other;
And ^aothe older will serve the younger.”
24 When her days leading to the delivery were at an end, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25 Now the first came out red, ^apall over like a hairy garment; and they named him Esau. 26 Afterward his brother came out with ^aqhis hand holding on to Esau’s heel, so ^arhe was named ^{▼▼I.e., one who takes by the heel or supplants}Jacob; and Isaac was ^atsixty years old when she gave birth to them.

27 When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a ^{▼▼Lit complete}civilized man, ^avliving in tents. 28 Now Isaac loved Esau because ^{▼▼Lit game was in his mouth}he had ^axa taste for game; ^aybut Rebekah loved Jacob. 29 When Jacob had cooked a ^azstew one day, Esau came in from the field and he was exhausted; 30 and Esau said to Jacob, “Please let me have a mouthful of ^{▼▼Lit the red, this red}that red stuff there, for I am exhausted.” Therefore he was called ^{▼▼I.e., red}Edom by name. 31 But Jacob said, “ ^{▼▼Lit Today}First sell me your ^bdbirthright.” 32 Esau said, “Look, I am about to die; so of what use then is the birthright to me?” 33 And Jacob said, “ ^{▼▼Lit Today}First swear to me”; so he swore an oath to him, and ^bfsold his birthright to Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew; and he ate and drank, and got up and went on his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
