25Genesis 25

1And Abraham married another wife named Cetura:Select Genesis 25:1

2Who bore him Zamram, and Jecsan, and Madan, and Madian, and Jesboc, and Sue.Select Genesis 25:2

3Jecsan also begot Saba, and Dadan. The children of Dadan were Assurim, and Latusim, and Loomim.Select Genesis 25:3

4But of Madian was born Epha, and Opher, and Henoch, and Abida, and Eldaa: all these were the children of Cetura.Select Genesis 25:4

5And Abraham gave all his possessions to Isaac:Select Genesis 25:5

6And to the children of the concubines he gave gifts, and separated them from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, to the east country.Select Genesis 25:6

7And the days of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five years.Select Genesis 25:7

8And decaying he died in a good old age, and having lived a long time, and being full of days: and was gathered to his people.Select Genesis 25:8

9And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, which was situated in the field of Ephron the son of Seor the Hethite, over against Mambre,Select Genesis 25:9

10Which he had bought of the children of Heth: there was he buried, and Sara his wife.Select Genesis 25:10

11And after his death, God blessed Isaac his son, who dwelt by the well named Of the living and seeing.Select Genesis 25:11

12These are the generations of Ismael the son of Abraham, whom Agar the Egyptian, Sara's servant, bore unto him:Select Genesis 25:12

13And these are the names of his children according to their calling and generations. The firstborn of Ismael was Nabajoth, then Cedar, and Adbeel, and Mabsam,Select Genesis 25:13

14And Masma, and Duma, and Massa,Select Genesis 25:14

15Hadar, and Thema, and Jethur, and Naphis, and Cedma.Select Genesis 25:15

16These are the sons of Ismael: and these are their names by their castles and towns, twelve princes of their tribes.Select Genesis 25:16

17And the years of Ismael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven, and decaying he died, and was gathered unto his people.Select Genesis 25:17

18And he dwelt from Hevila as far as Sur, which looketh towards Egypt, to them that go towards the Assyrians. He died in the presence of all his brethren.Select Genesis 25:18

19These also are the generations of Isaac the son of Abraham: Abraham begot Isaac:Select Genesis 25:19

20Who when he was forty years old, took to wife Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel the Syrian of Mesopotamia, sister to Laban.Select Genesis 25:20

21And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive.Select Genesis 25:21

22But the children struggled in her womb, and she said: If it were to be so with me, what need was there to conceive? And she went to consult the Lord.Select Genesis 25:22

23And he answering, said: Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be divided out of thy womb, and one people shall overcome the other, and the elder shall serve the younger.Select Genesis 25:23

24And when her time was come to be delivered, behold twins were found in her womb.Select Genesis 25:24

25He that came forth first was red, and hairy like a skin: and his name was called Esau. Immediately the other coming forth, held his brother's foot in his hand: and therefore he was called Jacob.Select Genesis 25:25

26Isaac was threescore years old when the children were born unto him.Select Genesis 25:26

27And when they were grown up, Esau became a skilful hunter, and a husbandman: but Jacob, a plain man, dwelt in tents.Select Genesis 25:27

28Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his hunting: and Rebecca loved Jacob.Select Genesis 25:28

29And Jacob boiled pottage: to whom Esau, coming faint out of the field,Select Genesis 25:29

30Said: Give me of this red pottage, for I am exceeding faint. For which reason his name was called Edom.Select Genesis 25:30

31And Jacob said to him: Sell me thy first birthright.Select Genesis 25:31

32He answered: Lo I die, what will the first birthright avail me?Select Genesis 25:32

33Jacob said: Swear therefore to me. Esau swore to him, and sold his first birthright.Select Genesis 25:33

34And so taking bread and the pottage of lentils, he ate, and drank, and went on his way; making little account of having sold his first birthright.Select Genesis 25:34
