25:1 And Abraam again took a wife, whose
name was Chettura.
25:2 And she bore to him Zombran, and Jezan, and Madal, and Madiam, and
Jesboc, and Soie.
25:3 And Jezan begot Saba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the
Assurians and the Latusians, and Laomim.
25:4 And the sons of Madiam [were] Gephar and Aphir, and Enoch, and Abeida,
and Eldaga; all these were sons of Chettura.
25:5 But Abraam gave all his possessions to Isaac his son.
25:6 But to the sons of his concubines Abraam gave gifts, and he sent them
away from his son Isaac, while he was yet living, to the east into the
country of the east.
25:7 And these [were] the years of the days of the life of Abraam as many as
he lived, a hundred and seventy-five years.
25:8 And Abraam failing died in a good old age, an old man and full of days,
and was added to his people.
25:9 And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, in the
field of Ephron the son of Saar the Chettite, which is over against Mambre:
25:10 [even] the field and the cave which Abraam bought of the sons of Chet;
there they buried Abraam and Sarrha his wife.
25:11 And it came to pass after Abraam was dead, that Elohim blessed Isaac his
son, and Isaac dwelt by the well of the vision.
25:12 And these [are] the generations of Ismael the son of Abraam, whom Agar
the Egyptian the hand-maid of Sarrha bore to Abraam.
25:13 And these [are] the names of the sons of Ismael, according to the
names of their generations. The firstborn of Ismael, Nabaioth, and Kedar,
and Nabdeel, and Massam,
25:14 and Masma, and Duma, and Masse,
25:15 and Choddan, and Thaeman, and Jetur, and Naphes, and Kedma.
25:16 These [are] the sons of Ismael, and these are their names in their
tents and in their dwellings, twelve princes according to their nations.
25:17 And these [are] the years of the life of Ismael, a hundred and
thirty-seven years; and he failed and died, and was added to his fathers.
25:18 And he dwelt from Evilat to Sur, which is opposite Egypt, until one
comes to the Assyrians; he dwelt in the presence of all his brethren.
25:19 And these [are] the generations of Isaac the son of Abraam.
25:20 Abraam begot Isaac. And Isaac was forty years old when he took to wife
Rebecca, daughter of Bathuel the Syrian, out of Syrian Mesopotamia, sister
of Laban the Syrian.
25:21 And Isaac prayed Yehovah concerning Rebecca his wife, because she was
barren; and Yehovah heard him, and his wife Rebecca conceived in her womb.
25:22 And the babes leaped within her; and she said, If it will be so with
me, why is this to me? And she went to enquire of Yehovah.
25:23 And Yehovah said to her, There are two nations in thy womb, and two
peoples shall be separated from thy belly, and one people shall excel the
other, and the elder shall serve the younger.
25:24 And the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered, and she had
twins in her womb.
25:25 And the first came out red, hairy all over like a skin; and she called
his name Esau.
25:26 And after this came forth his brother, and his hand took hold of the
heel of Esau; and she called his name Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old
when Rebecca bore them.
25:27 And the lads grew, and Esau was a man skilled in hunting, dwelling in
the country, and Jacob a simple man, dwelling in a house.
25:28 And Isaac loved Esau, because his venison was his food, but Rebecca
loved Jacob.
25:29 And Jacob cooked pottage, and Esau came from the plain, fainting.
25:30 And Esau said to Jacob, Let me taste of that red pottage, because I am
fainting; therefore his name was called Edom.
25:31 And Jacob said to Esau, Sell me this day thy birthright.
25:32 And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and for what good does this
birthright [belong] to me?
25:33 And Jacob said to him, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him; and
Esau sold his birthright to Jacob.
25:34 And Jacob gave bread to Esau, and pottage of lentils; and he ate and
drank, and he arose and departed; so Esau slighted his birthright. |
25:1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her
name was Keturah.
25:2 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak,
and Shuah.
25:3 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim,
and Letushim, and Leummim.
25:4 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and
Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
25:5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
25:6 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave
gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward,
unto the east country.
25:7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived,
an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
25:8 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.
25:9 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;
25:10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was
Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
25:11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that Elohim blessed his
son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
25:12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar
the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
25:13 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,
25:14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
25:15 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
25:16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their
towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
25:17 And 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 unto
his people.
25:18 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.
25:19 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat
Isaac:
25:20 And 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.
25:21 And Isaac entreated Yehovah for his wife, because she was barren: and
Yehovah was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
25:22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be
so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of Yehovah.
25:23 And Yehovah said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two
manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people
shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the
younger.
25:24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were
twins in her womb.
25:25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they
called his name Esau.
25:26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's
heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when
she bare them.
25:27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field;
and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
25:28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah
loved Jacob.
25:29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
25:30 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.
25:31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
25:32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall
this birthright do to me?
25:33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he
sold his birthright unto Jacob.
25:34 Then 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. |
