Genesis 25
Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
And Abraam again took a wife, whose name was Chettura.
Now Abraham had taken another wife, named Keturah,
And she bore to him Zombran, and Jezan, and Madal, and Madiam, and Jesboc, and Soie.
and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
And Jezan begot Saba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Assurians and the Latusians, and Laomim.
Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Asshurites, the Letushites, and the Leummites.
And the sons of Madiam [were] Gephar and Aphir, and Enoch, and Abeida, and Eldaga; all these were sons of Chettura.
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.
But Abraam gave all his possessions to Isaac his son.
Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.
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.
But while he was still alive, Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the east.
And these [were] the years of the days of the life of Abraam as many as he lived, a hundred and seventy-five years.
Abraham lived a total of 175 years.
And Abraam failing died in a good old age, an old man and full of days, and was added to his people.
And at a ripe old age he breathed his last and died, old and contented, and was gathered to his people.
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:
His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite.
[even] the field and the cave which Abraam bought of the sons of Chet; there they buried Abraam and Sarrha his wife.
This was the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah.
And it came to pass after Abraam was dead, that God blessed Isaac his son, and Isaac dwelt by the well of the vision.
After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near Beer-lahai-roi.
And these [are] the generations of Ismael the son of Abraam, whom Agar the Egyptian the hand-maid of Sarrha bore to Abraam.
This is the account of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham.
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,
These are the names of the sons of Ishmael in the order of their birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
and Choddan, and Thæman, and Jetur, and Naphes, and Kedma.
Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
These [are] the sons of Ismael, and these are their names in their tents and in their dwellings, twelve princes according to their nations.
These were the sons of Ishmael, and these were their names by their villages and encampments—twelve princes of their tribes.
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.
Ishmael lived a total of 137 years. Then he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.
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.
Ishmael’s descendants settled from Havilah to Shur, which is near the border of Egypt as you go toward Asshur (note: Or Assyria). And they lived in hostility toward all their brothers.
And these [are] the generations of Isaac the son of Abraam.
This is the account of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,
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.
and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram (note: That is, northwest Mesopotamia) and the sister of Laban the Aramean.
And Isaac prayed the Lord concerning Rebecca his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord heard him, and his wife Rebecca conceived in her womb.
Later, Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. And the LORD heard his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived.
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 the Lord.
But the children inside her struggled with each other, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So Rebekah went to inquire of the LORD,
And the Lord 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.
and He declared to her: “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger (note: Cited in Romans 9:12).”
And the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered, and she had twins in her womb.
When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb.
And the first came out red, hairy all over like a skin; and she called his name Esau.
The first one came out red, covered with hair like a fur coat; so they named him Esau (note: Esau sounds like a Hebrew term that means hairy.).
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.
After this, his brother came out grasping Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob (note: Jacob means he grasps the heel or he deceives.). And Isaac was sixty years old when the twins were born.
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.
When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home.
And Isaac loved Esau, because his venison was his food, but Rebecca loved Jacob.
Because Isaac had a taste for wild game, he loved Esau; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
And Jacob cooked pottage, and Esau came from the plain, fainting.
One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished.
And Esau said to Jacob, Let me taste of that red pottage, because I am fainting; therefore his name was called Edom.
He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am famished.” (That is why he was also called Edom (note: Edom means red.).)
And Jacob said to Esau, Sell me this day thy birthright.
“First sell me your birthright,” Jacob replied.
And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and for what good does this birthright [belong] to me?
“Look,” said Esau, “I am about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?”
And Jacob said to him, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him; and Esau sold his birthright to Jacob.
“Swear to me first,” Jacob said. So Esau swore to Jacob and sold him the birthright.
And Jacob gave bread to Esau, and pottage of lentiles; and he ate and drank, and he arose and departed; so Esau slighted his birthright.
Then Jacob gave some bread and lentil stew to Esau, who ate and drank and then got up and went away. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
