Gen25:1 Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah.
Gen25:2 She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
Gen25:3 Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.
Gen25:4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
Gen25:5 Abraham gave all he had to Isaac.
Gen25:6 But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, while he was still living, and he sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward to the east country.
Gen25:7 This is the length of Abraham's life, one hundred seventy-five years.
Gen25:8 Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people.
Gen25:9 His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre,
Gen25:10 the field that Abraham purchased from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried, with his wife Sarah.
Gen25:11 After the death of Abraham God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac settled at Beer-lahai-roi.
Gen25:12 These are the descendants of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's slave-girl, bore to Abraham.
Gen25:13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, named in the order of their birth: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael; and Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
Gen25:14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
Gen25:15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
Gen25:16 These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their villages and by their encampments, twelve princes according to their tribes.
Gen25:17 (This is the length of the life of Ishmael, one hundred thirty-seven years; he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.)
Gen25:18 They settled from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria; he settled down alongside of all his people.
Gen25:19 These are the descendants of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham was the father of Isaac,
Gen25:20 and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, sister of Laban the Aramean.
Gen25:21 Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD granted his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived.
Gen25:22 The children struggled together within her; and she said, "If it is to be this way, why do I live?" So she went to inquire of the LORD.
Gen25:23 And the LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples born of you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the elder shall serve the younger."
Gen25:24 When her time to give birth was at hand, there were twins in her womb.
Gen25:25 The first came out red, all his body like a hairy mantle; so they named him Esau.
Gen25:26 Afterward his brother came out, with his hand gripping Esau's heel; so he was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
Gen25:27 When the boys grew up, Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.
Gen25:28 Isaac loved Esau, because he was fond of game; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Gen25:29 Once when Jacob was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.
Gen25:30 Esau said to Jacob, "Let me eat some of that red stuff, for I am famished!" (Therefore he was called Edom. )
Gen25:31 Jacob said, "First sell me your birthright."
Gen25:32 Esau said, "I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?"
Gen25:33 Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.
Gen25:34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
