Chapter 25 |
1 | Then again Abraham took a wife, and her
name was Keturah. |
2 |
And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak,
and Shuah. |
3 | And
Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and
Letushim, and Leummim. |
4 | And the
sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah.
All these were the children of Keturah. |
5 |
And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. |
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. |
7 | And these are the days of the years of
Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years. |
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. |
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; |
10 | The field which Abraham purchased of the
sons of Heth: there was Abraham 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 by the well
Lahairoi. |
12 | Now these are
the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian,
Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham: |
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, |
14 |
And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, |
15 |
Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah: |
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. |
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. |
18 | And
they dwelt from 1Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as
thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his
brethren.

Gen 2:11
|
19 | And these are the generations of Isaac,
Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac: |
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. |
21
| And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was
barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife
conceived. |
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 the LORD. |
23 | And the LORD 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.
Rom 9:12
|
24 |
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were
twins in her womb. |
25 | And
the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called
his name Esau. |
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.
Matt 1:2
|
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. |
28 | And
Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved
Jacob. |
29 | And Jacob sod
pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint: |
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. |
31 | And Jacob said,
Sell me this day thy birthright. |
32 |
And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this
birthright do to me? |
33 |
And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold
his birthright unto Jacob. |
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. |
