| 25:1 | Abraham and KeturahBirth of Esau and Jacob Abraham again took a wife, and her name was Keturah. |
| 25:2 | And she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. |
| 25:3 | Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. |
| 25:4 | And the sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. |
| 25:5 | And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac. |
| 25:6 | But Abraham gave gifts to the sons of the concubines which Abraham had; and while he was still living he sent them eastward, away from Isaac his son, to the country of the east.Abraham's Death and Burial |
| 25:7 | This is the sum of the years of Abraham's life which he lived: one hundred and seventy-five years. |
| 25:8 | Then Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people. |
| 25:9 | And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, |
| 25:10 | the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth. There Abraham was buried, and Sarah his wife. |
| 25:11 | And it came to pass, after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac dwelt at Beer Lahai Roi.The Families of Ishmael and Isaac |
| 25:12 | Now this is the genealogy of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's maidservant, bore to Abraham. |
| 25:13 | And these were the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: The firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, |
| 25:14 | Mishma, Dumah, Massa, |
| 25:15 | Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. |
| 25:16 | These were the sons of Ishmael and these were their names, by their towns and their settlements, twelve princes according to their nations. |
| 25:17 | These were the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred and thirty-seven years; and he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people. |
| 25:18 | (They dwelt from Havilah as far as Shur, which is east of Egypt as you go toward Assyria.) He died in the presence of all his brethren. |
| 25:19 | This is the genealogy of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham begot Isaac. |
| 25:20 | Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah as wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian. |
| 25:21 | Now Isaac pleaded with the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD granted his plea, and Rebekah his wife conceived. |
| 25:22 | But the children struggled together within her; and she said, "If all is well, why am I like this? |
| 25:23 | And the LORD said to her:"Two nations are in your womb, Two peoples shall be separated from your body; One people shall be stronger than the other, And the older shall serve the younger." |
| 25:24 | So when her days were fulfilled for her to give birth, indeed there were twins in her womb. |
| 25:25 | And the first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name Esau. |
| 25:26 | Afterward his brother came out, and his hand took hold of Esau's heel; so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. |
| 25:27 | So the boys grew. And Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a mild man, dwelling in tents. |
| 25:28 | And Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.Esau Sells His Birthright |
| 25:29 | Now Jacob cooked a stew; and Esau came in from the field, and he was weary. So she went to inquire of the LORD. |
| 25:30 | And Esau said to Jacob, "Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary." Therefore his name was called Edom. |
| 25:31 | But Jacob said, "Sell me your birthright as of this day." |
| 25:32 | And Esau said, "Look, I am about to die; so what is this birthright to me?" |
| 25:33 | Then Jacob said, "Swear to me as of this day." So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. |
| 25:34 | And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils; then he ate and drank, arose, and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright. |
