| Genesis 25: (ASV) |
| 1) And Abraham took another 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 Abida, 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, that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and he 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, a hundred threescore and fifteen years. |
| 8) And 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 Isaac and Ishmael his sons 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 children of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife. |
| 11) And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that 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, bare unto Abraham: |
| 13) and these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the first-born of Ishmael, Nebaioth; 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 encampments; twelve princes according to their nations. |
| 17) And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, a 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: he abode over against 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, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife. |
| 21) And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren: and Jehovah was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. |
| 22) And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, wherefore do I live? And she went to inquire of Jehovah. |
| 23) And Jehovah said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples 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 forth red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. |
| 26) And after that came forth his brother, and his hand had 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 skilful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents. |
| 28) Now Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: and Rebekah loved Jacob. |
| 29) And Jacob boiled pottage: and Esau came in 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 first thy birthright. |
| 32) And Esau said, Behold, I am about to die: and what profit shall the birthright do to me? |
| 33) And Jacob said, Swear to me first; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. |
| 34) And Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: so Esau despised his birthright. |
