Genesis 25:1-34 KJ21

[1] Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. [2] And she bore him Zimran and Jokshan and Medan, and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah. [3] And Jokshan begot 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 Abidah 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 whom Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and while he yet lived he sent them away from Isaac his son, 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] 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 from 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 Lahairoi. [12] Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore 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, 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; and he died in the presence of all his brethren. [19] And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham begot Isaac. [20] And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah for a wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister of Laban the Syrian. [21] And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD was entreated by 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 body; 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 a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. [26] And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold of Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was threescore years old when she bore 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 ate of his venison; but Rebekah loved Jacob. [29] And Jacob boiled 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 of dying. And what profit shall this birthright be to me?" [33] And Jacob said, "Swear to me this day." And he swore unto him, and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. [34] Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he ate and drank, and rose up and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
