[25:2] She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. [25:3] Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. [25:4] The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. [25:5] Abraham gave all he had to Isaac. [25:6] But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, while he was still living, and he sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward to the east country. [25:7] This is the length of Abrahams life, one hundred seventy-five years. [25:8] Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people. [25:9] His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre, [25:10] the field that Abraham purchased from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried, with his wife Sarah. [25:11] After the death of Abraham God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac settled at Beer-lahai-roi. [25:12] These are the descendants of Ishmael, Abrahams son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarahs slave-girl, bore to Abraham. [25:13] These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, named in the order of their birth: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael; and Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, [25:14] Mishma, Dumah, Massa, [25:15] Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. [25:16] These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their villages and by their encampments, twelve princes according to their tribes. [25:17] (This is the length of the life of Ishmael, one hundred thirty- seven years; he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.) [25:18] They settled from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria; he settled down alongside of all his people. [25:19] These are the descendants of Isaac, Abrahams son: Abraham was the father of Isaac, [25:20] and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, sister of Laban the Aramean. [25:21] Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD granted his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived. [25:22] The children struggled together within her; and she said, If it is to be this way, why do I live? So she went to inquire of the LORD. [25:23] And the LORD said to her, Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples born of you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the elder shall serve the younger. [25:24] When her time to give birth was at hand, there were twins in her womb. [25:25] The first came out red, all his body like a hairy mantle; so they named him Esau. [25:26] Afterward his brother came out, with his hand gripping Esaus heel; so he was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. [25:27] When the boys grew up, Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents. [25:28] Isaac loved Esau, because he was fond of game; but Rebekah loved Jacob. [25:29] Once when Jacob was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was famished. [25:30] Esau said to Jacob, Let me eat some of that red stuff, for I am famished! (Therefore he was called Edom.) [25:31] Jacob said, First sell me your birthright. [25:32] Esau said, I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me? [25:33] Jacob said, Swear to me first. So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. [25:34] Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright. to be continue . .
