Abraham and Keturah^(A)

25 Abraham again took a wife, and her name was ^(B)Keturah. ² And ^(C)she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. ³ Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. ⁴ And the sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.

⁵ And ^(D)Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac. ⁶ But Abraham gave gifts to the sons of the concubines which Abraham had; and while he was still living he ^(E)sent them eastward, away from Isaac his son, to ^(F)the country of the east.

Abraham’s Death and Burial

⁷ This is the sum of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived: one hundred and seventy-five years. ⁸ Then Abraham breathed his last and ^(G)died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and ^(H)was gathered to his people. ⁹ And ^(I)his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of ^(J)Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, ^10 (K)the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth. ^(L)There Abraham was 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 at ^(M)Beer Lahai Roi.

The Families of Ishmael and Isaac^(N)

¹² Now this is the ^(O)genealogy of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham. ¹³ And ^(P)these were the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: The firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, ¹⁴ Mishma, Dumah, Massa, ^15 [a]Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. ¹⁶ These were the sons of Ishmael and these were their names, by their towns and their ^[b]settlements, ^(Q)twelve princes according to their nations. ¹⁷ These were the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred and thirty-seven years; and ^(R)he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people. ^18 (S)(They dwelt from Havilah as far as Shur, which is east of Egypt as you go toward Assyria.) He ^[c]died ^(T)in the presence of all his brethren.

¹⁹ This is the ^(U)genealogy of Isaac, Abraham’s son. ^(V)Abraham begot Isaac. ²⁰ Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah as wife, ^(W)the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan Aram, ^(X)the sister of Laban the Syrian. ²¹ Now Isaac pleaded with the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; ^(Y)and the Lord granted his plea, ^(Z)and Rebekah his wife conceived. ²² But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If all is well, why am I like this?” ^(AA)So she went to inquire of the Lord.

²³ And the Lord said to her:

²⁴ So when her days were fulfilled for her to give birth, indeed there were twins in her womb. ²⁵ And the first came out red. He was ^(AE)like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name ^[d]Esau. ²⁶ Afterward his brother came out, and ^(AF)his hand took hold of Esau’s heel; so ^(AG)his name was called ^[e]Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

²⁷ So the boys grew. And Esau was ^(AH)a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was ^(AI)a ^[f]mild man, ^(AJ)dwelling in tents. ²⁸ And Isaac loved Esau because he ^(AK)ate of his game, ^(AL)but Rebekah loved Jacob.

Esau Sells His Birthright^(AM)

²⁹ Now Jacob cooked a stew; and Esau came in from the field, and he was weary. ³⁰ And Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary.” Therefore his name was called ^[g]Edom.

³¹ But Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright as of this day.”

³² And Esau said, “Look, I am about to die; so ^(AN)what is this birthright to me?”

³³ Then Jacob said, ^[h]“Swear to me as of this day.”

So he swore to him, and ^(AO)sold his birthright to Jacob. ³⁴ And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils; then ^(AP)he ate and drank, arose, and went his way. Thus Esau ^(AQ)despised his birthright.
