1Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.Select Genesis 25:1

2And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.Select Genesis 25:2

3And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.Select Genesis 25:3

4And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. ¶Select Genesis 25:4

5And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.Select Genesis 25:5

6But 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.Select Genesis 25:6

7And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred three score and fifteen years.Select Genesis 25:7

8Then 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.Select Genesis 25:8

9And 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;Select Genesis 25:9

10The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife. ¶Select Genesis 25:10

11And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelled by the well Lahairoi. ¶Select Genesis 25:11

12Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bore to Abraham:Select Genesis 25:12

13And 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,Select Genesis 25:13

14And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,Select Genesis 25:14

15Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:Select Genesis 25:15

16These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.Select Genesis 25:16

17And 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 to his people.Select Genesis 25:17

18And they dwelled from Havilah to Shur, that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brothers. ¶Select Genesis 25:18

19And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac:Select Genesis 25:19

20And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.Select Genesis 25:20

21And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.Select Genesis 25:21

22And 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.Select Genesis 25:22

23And the LORD said to her, Two nations are in your womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from your bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. ¶Select Genesis 25:23

24And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.Select Genesis 25:24

25And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.Select Genesis 25:25

26And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was three score years old when she bore them.Select Genesis 25:26

27And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.Select Genesis 25:27

28And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob. ¶Select Genesis 25:28

29And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:Select Genesis 25:29

30And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray you, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.Select Genesis 25:30

31And Jacob said, Sell me this day your birthright.Select Genesis 25:31

32And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?Select Genesis 25:32

33And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him: and he sold his birthright to Jacob.Select Genesis 25:33

34Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.Select Genesis 25:34
