25 Now Abraham had taken another wife called Keturah,

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

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

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

⁵ And Abraham gave all his goods to Isaac.

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

⁷ And this is the age of Abraham’s life which he lived: a hundred seventy-five years.

⁸ Then Abraham yielded the spirit and died in a good age, an old man and of great years; and was gathered to his people.

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

¹⁰ (which field Abraham bought from the sons of Heth), where Abraham was buried with Sarah, his wife.

¹¹ And after the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac, his son. And Isaac dwelt by Beer Lahai Roi.

¹² Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian (Sarah’s handmaid) bore to Abraham.

¹³ And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, name by name, according to their kindreds: the eldest son of Ishmael, Nebajoth, then Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

¹⁴ and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

¹⁵ Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

¹⁶ These are the sons of Ishmael; and these are their names, by their towns and by their castles, twelve princes of their nations.

¹⁷ And these are the years of the life of Ishmael: a hundred thirty-seven years. And he yielded up the spirit and died and was gathered to his people.

¹⁸ And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur (that is towards Egypt, as you go to Asshur). Ishmael dwelt in the presence of all his brothers.

¹⁹ Likewise, these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac.

²⁰ And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife (the daughter of Bethuel, the Aramite of Padan Aram, sister to Laban, the Aramite).

²¹ And Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she was barren. And the LORD was persuaded by him; and Rebekah, his wife, conceived.

²² But the children strove together within her. Therefore, she said, “Seeing this is so, why am I like this?” So, she went to ask the LORD.

²³ And the LORD said to her, “Two nations are in your womb; and two peoples shall be divided out of your core. And the one people shall be mightier than the other; and the elder shall serve the younger.”

²⁴ Therefore, when her time of deliverance was fulfilled, behold, twins were in her womb.

²⁵ So he who came out first was red. And he was as rough as a garment all over. And they called his name, Esau.

²⁶ And afterward, his brother came out. And his hand held Esau by the heel. Therefore, his name was called, Jacob. Now Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah bore them.

²⁷ And the boys grew; and Esau was a cunning hunter and lived in the fields. But Jacob was a plain man and dwelt in tents.

²⁸ And Isaac loved Esau, for venison was his meat, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

²⁹ Now Jacob sod pottage, and Esau came from the field and was weary.

³⁰ Then Esau said to Jacob, “Please let me eat of that porridge so red, for I am weary.” Therefore, his name was called, Edom.

³¹ And Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright today.”

³² And Esau said, “Lo, I am almost dead. What, then, is this birthright to me?”

³³ Then Jacob said, “Swear to me as of today.” And he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob.

³⁴ Then Jacob gave Esau bread and porridge of lentils. And he ate and drank, and rose up, and went his way. So, Esau despised his birthright.
