Genesis
Gen.25
[1] 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 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, 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
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 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 Padan-aram, 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 inquire 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.
