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 Assurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
25: 4 And the sons of Midian: Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and El-daah. 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, that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and he 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, a hundred seventy-five years.
25: 8 And Abraham gave up the breath, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.
25: 9 And Isaac and Ishmael his sons 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 children of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
25: 11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son: and Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.
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, Nebaioth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
25: 14 and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
25: 15 Hadad, and 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 nations.
25: 17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred thirty-seven years: and he gave up the breath 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: he 281abode over against all his brethren.
281Or, settled Hb. fell
25: 19 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac:
25: 20 and Isaac was forty years old 282when he took Rebekah the daughter of Bethuel the 283Syrian of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.
282Apparently 3 years after the death of his mother.
283Hb. Aramean (both times). And so elsewhere.
25: 21 And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren: and Jehovah 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, 284wherefore do I live? And she went to inquire of Jehovah.
284Or, wherefore am I thus?
25: 23 And Jehovah said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples 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 forth 285red all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
285Or, ruddy
25: 26 And after that came forth his brother, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called 286Jacob: and Isaac was sixty years old when she bare them.
286That is, He shall take by the heel: or, …supplant:
25: 27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a 287quiet man, dwelling in tents.
287Or, harmless Hb. perfect (as a perfect gentleman)
25: 28 Now Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: and Rebekah loved Jacob.
25: 29 And Jacob boiled pottage: and Esau came in from the field, and he was faint:
25: 30 and Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with 288that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called 289Edom.
288Hb. the red pottage. or, this red pottage.
289That is, Red.
25: 31 And Jacob said, Sell me 290first thy birthright.
290Hb. today And in vs. 33.
25: 32 And Esau said, Behold, I am about to die: and what profit shall the birthright do to me?
25: 33 And Jacob said, Swear to me first; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
25: 34 And Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: so Esau despised the birthright.
