| 25:1 | And Abraham took another wife named Keturah. |
| 25:2 | She became the mother of Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah. |
| 25:3 | And Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. And from Dedan came the Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim. |
| 25:4 | And from Midian came Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the offspring of Keturah. |
| 25:5 | Now Abraham gave all his property to Isaac; |
| 25:6 | But to the sons of his other women he gave offerings, and sent them away, while he was still living, into the east country. |
| 25:7 | |
| 25:8 | And Abraham came to his death, an old man, full of years; and he was put to rest with his people. |
| 25:9 | And Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, put him to rest in the hollow rock of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, near Mamre; |
| 25:10 | The same field which Abraham got from the children of Heth: there Abraham was put to rest with Sarah, his wife. |
|
| 25:11 | Now after the death of Abraham, the blessing of God was with Isaac, his son. |
| 25:12 | Now these are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whose mother was Hagar the Egyptian, the servant of Sarah: |
| 25:13 | |
| 25:14 | And Mishma and Dumah and Massa, |
| 25:15 | Hadad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah: |
| 25:16 | These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names in their towns and their tent-circles; twelve chiefs with their peoples. |
| 25:17 | |
| 25:18 | And their country was from Havilah to Shur which is east of Egypt: they took their place to the east of all their brothers. |
|
| 25:19 | |
| 25:20 | Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean of Paddan-aram, and the sister of Laban the Aramaean, to be his wife. |
| 25:21 | Isaac made prayer to the Lord for his wife because she had no children; and the Lord gave ear to his prayer, and Rebekah became with child. |
| 25:22 | And the children were fighting together inside her, and she said, If it is to be so, why am I like this? So she went to put her question to the Lord. |
| 25:23 | And the Lord said to her, Two nations are in your body, and two peoples will come to birth from you: the one will be stronger than the other, and the older will be the servant of the younger. |
| 25:24 | And when the time came for her to give birth, there were two children in her body. |
| 25:25 | And the first came out red from head to foot like a robe of hair, and they gave him the name of Esau. |
| 25:26 | |
| 25:27 | And the boys came to full growth; and Esau became a man of the open country, an expert bowman; but Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents. |
| 25:28 | |
|
| 25:29 | And one day Jacob was cooking some soup when Esau came in from the fields in great need of food; |
| 25:30 | And Esau said to Jacob, Give me a full meal of that red soup, for I am overcome with need for food: for this reason he was named Edom. |
| 25:31 | And Jacob said, First of all give me your birthright. |
| 25:32 | And Esau said, Truly, I am at the point of death: what profit is the birthright to me? |
| 25:33 | And Jacob said, First of all give me your oath; and he gave him his oath, handing over his birthright to Jacob. |
| 25:34 | Then Jacob gave him bread and soup; and he took food and drink and went away, caring little for his birthright. |
