Genesis 25

American Standard Version

1And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 another wifeH802, and her nameH8034 was KeturahH6989. 2And she bare him ZimranH2175, and JokshanH3370, and MedanH4091, and MidianH4080, and IshbakH3435, and ShuahH7744. 3And JokshanH3370 begat ShebaH7614, and DedanH1719. And the sonsH1121 of DedanH1719 wereH1961 Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. 4And the sonsH1121 of MidianH4080: EphahH5891, and EpherH6081, and HanochH2585, and AbidaH28, and EldaahH420. All these were the children of KeturahH6989. 5And AbrahamH85 gaveH5414 all that he had unto IsaacH3327. 6But unto the sonsH1121 of the concubinesH6370, that AbrahamH85 had, AbrahamH85 gaveH5414 giftsH4979; and he sentH7971 them awayH7971 from IsaacH3327 his sonH1121, while he yetH5750 lived, eastward, unto the eastH6924 country. 7And these are the daysH3117 of the yearsH8141 of Abraham’s life which he lived, a hundredH3967 threescore and fifteen yearsH8141. 8And AbrahamH85 gave up the ghost, and diedH4191 in a goodH2896 oldH2205 ageH7872, an oldH2205 manH2205, and full of years, and was gatheredH622 to his peopleH5971. 9And IsaacH3327 and IshmaelH3458 his sonsH1121 buriedH6912 him in the caveH4631 of MachpelahH4375, in the fieldH7704 of EphronH6085 the sonH1121 of ZoharH6714 the HittiteH2850, which is before MamreH4471; 10the fieldH7704 which AbrahamH85 purchased of the children of HethH2845: there was AbrahamH85 buriedH6912, and SarahH8283 his wifeH802. 11And it came to pass after the deathH4194 of AbrahamH85, that GodH430 blessedH1288 IsaacH3327 his sonH1121: and IsaacH3327 dweltH3427 by Beer-lahai-roiH883.

12Now these are the generationsH8435 of IshmaelH3458, Abraham’s sonH1121, whom HagarH1904 the EgyptianH4713, Sarah’s handmaid, bare unto AbrahamH85: 13and these are the namesH8034 of the sonsH1121 of IshmaelH3458, by their namesH8034, according to their generationsH8435: the first-born of IshmaelH3458, NebaiothH5032; and KedarH6938, and AdbeelH110, and MibsamH4017, 14and MishmaH4927, and DumahH1746, and MassaH4854, 15HadadH2301, and TemaH8485, JeturH3195, NaphishH5305, and KedemahH6929: 16these are the sonsH1121 of IshmaelH3458, and these are their namesH8034, by their villages, and by their encampmentsH2918; twelve princesH5387 according to their nations. 17And these are the yearsH8141 of the lifeH2416 of IshmaelH3458, a hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970 and sevenH7651 yearsH8141: and he gave up the ghost and diedH4191, and was gatheredH622 unto his peopleH5971. 18And they dweltH7931 from HavilahH2341 unto ShurH7793 that is before EgyptH4714, as thou goest toward AssyriaH804: he abode over against all his brethren.

19And these are the generationsH8435 of IsaacH3327, Abraham’s sonH1121: AbrahamH85 begat IsaacH3327: 20and IsaacH3327 wasH1961 fortyH705 yearsH8141 old when he tookH3947 RebekahH7259, the daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328 the Syrian of Paddan-aram, the sisterH269 of LabanH3837 the Syrian, to beH1961 his wifeH802. 21And IsaacH3327 entreatedH6279 Jehovah for his wifeH802, because she was barrenH6135: and Jehovah was entreatedH6279 of him, and RebekahH7259 his wifeH802 conceivedH2029. 22And the children struggled together within her; and she saidH559, If it be soH3651, wherefore do I live? And she went to inquire of Jehovah. 23And Jehovah saidH559 unto her,

TwoH8147 nationsH1471 are in thy wombH990,And twoH8147 peoplesH3816 shall be separatedH6504 from thy bowelsH4578:And the one people shall be strongerH553 than the other people;And the elder shall serveH5647 the youngerH6810.

24And when her daysH3117 to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twinsH8380 in her wombH990. 25And the firstH7223 cameH3318 forthH3318 redH132, all over like a hairy garment; and they calledH7121 his nameH8034 EsauH6215. 26And after that cameH3318 forthH3318 his brotherH251, and his handH3027 had holdH270 on Esau’s heelH6119; and his nameH8034 was calledH7121 JacobH3290: and IsaacH3327 was threescore yearsH8141 old when she bare them.

27And the boys grewH1431: and EsauH6215 wasH1961 a skilful hunter, a manH376 of the fieldH7704; and JacobH3290 wasH1961 a quiet manH376, dwellingH3427 in tentsH168. 28Now IsaacH3327 lovedH157 EsauH6215, because he did eat of his venison: and RebekahH7259 lovedH157 JacobH3290. 29And JacobH3290 boiled pottage: and EsauH6215 cameH935 in from the fieldH7704, and he was faint: 30and EsauH6215 saidH559 to JacobH3290, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same redH122 pottage; for I am faint: thereforeH3651 was his nameH8034 calledH7121 EdomH123. 31And JacobH3290 saidH559, SellH4376 me first thy birthrightH1062. 32And EsauH6215 saidH559, Behold, I am about to dieH4191: and what profit shall the birthrightH1062 do to me? 33And JacobH3290 saidH559, SwearH7650 to me first; and he sware unto him: and he soldH4376 his birthrightH1062 unto JacobH3290. 34And JacobH3290 gaveH5414 EsauH6215 breadH3899 and pottage of lentilsH5742; and he did eatH398 and drinkH8354, and roseH6965 up, and went his way: so EsauH6215 despisedH959 his birthrightH1062.
