Chapter 25
Gene Webster 25:1  Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name [was] Keturah.
Gene Webster 25:2  And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
Gene Webster 25:3  And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim and Leummim.
Gene Webster 25:4  And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these [were] the children of Keturah.
Gene Webster 25:6  But to the sons of the concubines which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son (while he yet lived) eastward, to the east country.
Gene Webster 25:7  And these [are] the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, a hundred and seventy five years.
Gene Webster 25:8  Then Abraham expired, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full [of years]; and was gathered to his people.
Gene Webster 25:9  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;
Gene Webster 25:10  The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
Gene Webster 25:11  And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac: and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi.
Gene Webster 25:12  Now these [are] the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore to Abraham.
Gene Webster 25:13  And these [are] the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: The first-born of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
Gene Webster 25:16  These [are] the sons of Ishmael, and these [are] their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
Gene Webster 25:17  And these [are] the years of the life of Ishmael; a hundred and thirty and seven years: and he expired and died, and was gathered to his people.
Gene Webster 25:18  And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur, that [is] before Egypt, as thou goest towards Assyria: [and] he died in the presence of all his brethren.
Gene Webster 25:19  And these [are] the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:
Gene Webster 25:20  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.
Gene Webster 25:21  And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she [was] barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
Gene Webster 25:22  And the children struggled together within her: and she said, If [it is] so, why [am] I thus? And she went to inquire of the LORD.
Gene Webster 25:23  And the LORD said to 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.
Gene Webster 25:24  And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, [there were] twins in her womb.
Gene Webster 25:25  And the first was born red, all over like a hairy garment: and they called his name Esau.
Gene Webster 25:26  And after that his brother was born, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac [was] sixty years old when she bore them.
Gene Webster 25:27  And the boys grew: and Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob [was] a plain man dwelling in tents.
Gene Webster 25:28  And Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of [his] venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Gene Webster 25:29  And Jacob boiled pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he [was] faint.
Gene Webster 25:30  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.
Gene Webster 25:31  And Jacob said, Sell to me this day thy birth-right.
Gene Webster 25:32  And Esau said, Behold, I [am] at the point to die: and what profit shall this birth-right bring to me?
Gene Webster 25:33  And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him: and he sold his birth-right to Jacob.
Gene Webster 25:34  Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way: thus Esau despised [his] birth-right.
