The Death of Abraham
25 Now Abraham took another wife, [a]whose name was Keturah. 2 (A)And she bore to him Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah. 3 Now Jokshan [b]was the father of Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim. 4 And the sons of Midian were Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah. 5 (B)And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac; 6 but to the sons of the concubines which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts while he was still living, and he (C)sent them away from his son Isaac eastward, to the land of the east.
7 These are the days of the years of Abraham’s life that he lived, (D)175 years. 8 And Abraham breathed his last and died (E)in a good old age, an old man and full of days; and he was (F)gathered to his people. 9 Then his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in (G)the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, facing Mamre, 10 (H)the field which Abraham bought from the sons of Heth; there Abraham was buried with Sarah his wife. 11 Now it happened after the death of Abraham, that (I)God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac [c]lived by (J)Beer-lahai-roi.
The Generations of Ishmael
12 Now these are the generations of (K)Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant-woman, bore to Abraham; 13 and these are the names of (L)the sons of Ishmael, by their names, [d]in the order of their birth: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael, and Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam 14 and Mishma and Dumah and Massa, 15 Hadad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. 16 These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their villages, and by their camps; (M)twelve princes according to their [e]tribes. 17 These are the years of the life of Ishmael, (N)137 years; and he breathed his last and died and was (O)gathered to his people. 18 And they dwelt from (P)Havilah to (Q)Shur which is [f]east of Egypt [g]as one goes toward Assyria; (R)he [h]settled in the face of all his brothers.
The Generations of Isaac
19 Now these are (S)the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham [i]became the father of Isaac; 20 and Isaac was forty years old when he took (T)Rebekah, the (U)daughter of Bethuel the [j]Aramean of Paddan-aram, the (V)sister of Laban the [k]Aramean, to be his wife. 21 And Isaac entreated Yahweh on behalf of his wife because she was barren; and (W)Yahweh [l]was moved by his entreaty. So Rebekah his wife (X)conceived. 22 But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If it is so, why then am I this way?” So she went to (Y)inquire of Yahweh. 23 And Yahweh said to her,
“(Z)Two nations are in your womb;
(AA)And two peoples will be separated from your body;
And one people shall be stronger than the other;
And (AB)the older shall serve the younger.”
24 And her days to give birth were fulfilled, and behold, there were twins in her womb. 25 And the first came forth red, (AC)all over like a hairy garment; and they named him Esau. 26 Afterward his brother came forth with (AD)his hand holding on to Esau’s heel, so (AE)his name was called [m]Jacob; and Isaac was (AF)sixty years old when she gave birth to them.
Esau Sells His Birthright
27 And the boys grew up; Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, but Jacob was a [n]peaceful man, [o](AG)living in tents. 28 Isaac loved Esau because [p]he had (AH)an appetite for hunted game, (AI)but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 And Jacob had cooked (AJ)stew. And Esau came in from the field, and he was [q]famished. 30 Then Esau said to Jacob, “Please give me a swallow from the red stuff—[r]this red stuff, for I am [s]famished.” Therefore his name was called [t]Edom. 31 But Jacob said, “[u]First sell me your (AK)birthright.” 32 And Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die; so of what use then is the birthright to me?” 33 And Jacob said, “[v]First swear to me”; so he swore to him and (AL)sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 So Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew; and he ate and drank and rose and went away. Thus Esau despised his birthright.

Abraham dör
(1 Krön 1:32-33)
25 Abraham skaffade sig ytterligare en hustru. Hon hette Ketura 2 och hon födde honom Simran, Jokshan, Medan, Midjan, Jishbak och Shuach.
3 Jokshans två söner hette Saba och Dedan. Dedans ättlingar var ashuréerna, letushéerna och leumméerna. 4 Midjans söner var Efa, Efer, Henok, Avida och Eldaga. Dessa var alltså ättlingar till Ketura.
5 Abraham gav allt han ägde till Isak. 6 Han gav emellertid gåvor även till sina bihustrurs söner, medan han fortfarande levde, och skickade dem till landet i öster, bort från sin son Isak.
7 Abrahams ålder blev 175 år. 8 Sedan gav han upp andan och dog i en hög ålder, nöjd med livet, och förenades med sina förfäder[a]. 9 Hans söner Isak och Ismael begravde honom i grottan vid Makpela nära Mamre på den åker som tillhört hettiten Efron, Sochars son, 10 samma åker som Abraham hade köpt av hettiterna. Där begravdes alltså Abraham och hans hustru Sara.
11 Efter Abrahams död välsignade Gud Isak, hans son, som bodde nära Beer Lachaj Roi.
Berättelsen om Ismaels släkt
(1 Krön 1:28-31)
12 Här följer släkttavlan för Ismael, son till Abraham och Hagar, Saras egyptiska slavinna. 13 Ismaels söner i födelseordning var: Nevajot, Ismaels förstfödde, sedan Kedar, Adbeel, Mivsam, 14 Mishma, Duma, Massa, 15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Nafish och Kedma.
16 Dessa är namnen på Ismaels söner, och de är också namnen på tolv stamhövdingar med deras byar och läger. 17 Ismael blev 137 år gammal, och sedan dog han och förenades med sina förfäder. 18 Ismaels ättlingar bosatte sig från Havila till Shur, öster om Egypten, vid vägen mot Assyrien, och de låg ständigt i strid med sina bröder.[b]
Isaks släkt: Jakob och Esau
(25:19—35:29)
19 Detta är berättelsen om Isaks, Abrahams sons släkt.
Abraham blev far till Isak. 20 Isak var 40 år gammal när han gifte sig med Rebecka, dotter till araméen Betuel från Paddan Aram och syster till araméen Laban.
21 Isak bad till Herren för sin hustru, för hon var ofruktsam. Herren svarade på hans bön, och hans hustru Rebecka blev gravid. 22 Barnen sparkade varandra i hennes mage. Hon sa: ”Varför ska detta hända mig?” och gick och frågade Herren.
23 Herren svarade henne:
”Det finns två folk i din livmoder,
två folkstammar ska skiljas från dig.
Den ena kommer att bli starkare än den andra,
och den äldre ska tjäna den yngre.”
24 När det var dags för henne att föda, födde hon tvillingar. 25 Den förste som föddes hade rödaktig hy som var så hårig att den liknade en skinnfäll. Han fick namnet Esau[c]. 26 Sedan föddes den andre tvillingen med sin hand om Esaus häl. Därför kallade de honom Jakob[d]. Isak var sextio år gammal när tvillingarna föddes.
Esau säljer sin förstfödslorätt
27 Allt eftersom pojkarna växte upp blev Esau en skicklig jägare, som höll till ute på markerna, medan Jakob var mer stillsam och trivdes hemma i tälten. 28 Esau var Isaks favorit, för han tyckte om köttet som Esau kom hem med. Men Rebecka älskade Jakob.
29 En dag när Esau kom hem alldeles utsvulten från jakten, höll Jakob på att koka soppa. 30 ”O, vad jag är hungrig!” klagade Esau. ”Ge mig lite av den där röda soppan som du har!” Därför fick han namnet ”Edom”[e]. 31 ”Det kan jag väl göra, om jag får byta den mot din förstfödslorätt”, svarade Jakob. 32 ”Jag håller ju på att dö. Vad har jag för nytta av förstfödslorätten?” sa Esau. 33 ”Ja, lova då med ed att den är min”, sa Jakob. Esau svor en ed och sålde därmed sin förstfödslorätt till Jakob. 34 Sedan gav Jakob Esau bröd och linssoppa. Han åt och drack och gick sedan och fortsatte med sitt. Så lite värdesatte han sin förstfödslorätt.
Genesis 25
King James Version
25 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
2 And she bare 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 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
6 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.
7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
8 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of 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 the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and 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 according to their nations.
17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people.
18 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.
19 And 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 Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
21 And Isaac intreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the Lord.
23 And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
