1Abraham again took a wife, and her name was Keturah.

2And she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

3Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.

4And the sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.

5And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.

6But Abraham gave gifts to the sons of the concubines which Abraham had; and while he was still living he sent them eastward, away from Isaac his son, to the country of the east.

7This is the sum of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived: one hundred and seventy-five years.

8Then Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

9And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite,

10the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth. There Abraham was buried, and Sarah his wife.

11And it came to pass, after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac dwelt at Beer Lahai Roi.

12Now this is the genealogy of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham.

13And these were the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: The firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

14Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

1525:15 MT HadadHadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

16These were the sons of Ishmael and these were their names, by their towns and their 25:16 campssettlements, twelve princes according to their nations.

17These were the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred and thirty-seven years; and he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.

18(They dwelt from Havilah as far as Shur, which is east of Egypt as you go toward Assyria.) He 25:18 felldied in the presence of all his brethren.

19This is the genealogy of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham begot Isaac.

20Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah as wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian.

21Now Isaac pleaded with the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord granted his plea, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If all is well, why am I like this?” So she went to inquire of the Lord.

23And the Lord said to her:

24So when her days were fulfilled for her to give birth, indeed there were twins in her womb.

25And the first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name 25:25 Lit. HairyEsau.

26Afterward his brother came out, and his hand took hold of Esau’s heel; so his name was called 25:26 Supplanter or Deceitful, lit. One Who Takes the HeelJacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

27So the boys grew. And Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a 25:27 Lit. completemild man, dwelling in tents.

28And Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

29Now Jacob cooked a stew; and Esau came in from the field, and he was weary.

30And Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary.” Therefore his name was called 25:30 Lit. RedEdom.

31But Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright as of this day.”

32And Esau said, “Look, I am about to die; so what is this birthright to me?”

33Then Jacob said, 25:33 Take an oath“Swear to me as of this day.”

34And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils; then he ate and drank, arose, and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
