Genesis 25

1 Nowe Abraham had taken him another wife called Keturah,

And Abraam again took a wife, whose name was Chettura.

2 Which bare him Zimran, and Iokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.

And she bore to him Zombran, and Jezan, and Madal, and Madiam, and Jesboc, and Soie.

3 And Iokshan begate Sheba, and Dedan: And the sonnes of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.

And Jezan begot Saba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Assurians and the Latusians, and Laomim.

4 Also the sonnes of Midian were Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah all these were the sonnes of Keturah.

And the sons of Madiam [were] Gephar and Aphir, and Enoch, and Abeida, and Eldaga; all these were sons of Chettura.

5 And Abraham gaue all his goods to Izhak,

But Abraam gave all his possessions to Isaac his son.

6 But vnto the sonnes of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gaue giftes, and sent them away from Izhak his sonne (while he yet liued) Eastward to the East countrey.

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.

7 And this is the age of Abrahams life, which he liued, an hundreth seuentie and fiue yeere.

And these [were] the years of the days of the life of Abraam as many as he lived, a hundred and seventy-five years.

8 Then Abraham yeelded the spirit, and died in a good age, an olde man, and of great yeeres, and was gathered to his people.

And Abraam failing died in a good old age, an old man and full of days, and was added to his people.

9 And his sonnes, Izhak and Ishmael buryed him in the caue of Machpelah, in the fielde of Ephron sonne of Zohar the Hittite, before Mamre.

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:

10 Which fielde Abraham bought of the Hittites, where Abraham was buryed with Sarah his wife.

[even] the field and the cave which Abraam bought of the sons of Chet; there they buried Abraam and Sarrha his wife.

11 And after the death of Abraham God blessed Izhak his sonne, and Izhak dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.

And it came to pass after Abraam was dead, that God blessed Isaac his son, and Isaac dwelt by the well of the vision.

12 Nowe these are the generations of Ishmael Abrahams sonne, whome Hagar the Egyptian Sarahs handmayde bare vnto Abraham.

And these [are] the generations of Ismael the son of Abraam, whom Agar the Egyptian the hand-maid of Sarrha bore to Abraam.

13 And these are the names of the sonnes of Ishmael, name by name, according to their kinreds; the eldest sonne of Ishmael was Nebaioth, then Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

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,

14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

and Masma, and Duma, and Masse,

15 Hadar, and Tema, Ietur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

and Choddan, and Thaeman, and Jetur, and Naphes, and Kedma.

16 These are the sonnes of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their townes and by their castles: to wit, twelue princes of their nations.

These [are] the sons of Ismael, and these are their names in their tents and in their dwellings, twelve princes according to their nations.

17 (And these are the yeeres of the life of Ishmael, an hundreth thirtie and seuen yeere, and he yeelded the spirit, and dyed, and was gathered vnto his people)

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.

18 And they dwelt from Hauilah vnto Shur, that is towardes Egypt, as thou goest to Asshur. Ishmael dwelt in the presence of all his brethren.

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.

19 Likewise these are the generations of Izhak Abrahams sonne Abraham begate Izhak,

And these [are] the generations of Isaac the son of Abraam.

20 And Izhak was fourtie yeere olde, when he tooke Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramite of Padan Aram, and sister to Laban the Aramite.

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.

21 And Izhak prayed vuto the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceiued,

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.

22 But the children stroue together within her: therefore shee sayde, Seeing it is so, why am I thus? wherefore she went to aske the Lord.

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.

23 And the Lord sayd to her, Two nations are in thy wombe, and two maner of people shalbe diuided out of thy bowels, and the one people shall be mightier then the other, and the elder shall serue the yonger.

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.

24 Therefore when her time of deliuerance was fulfilled, behold, twinnes were in her wombe.

And the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered, and she had twins in her womb.

25 So he that came out first was red, and he was all ouer as a rough garment, and they called his name Esau.

And the first came out red, hairy all over like a skin; and she called his name Esau.

26 And afterward came his brother out, and his hande helde Esau by the heele: therefore his name was called Iaakob. Nowe Izhak was threescore yeere olde when Rebekah bare them.

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.

27 And the boyes grew, and Esau was a cunning hunter, and liued in the fields: but Iaakob was a plaine man, and dwelt in tentes.

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.

28 And Izhak loued Esau, for venison was his meate, but Rebekah loued Iaakob.

And Isaac loved Esau, because his venison was his food, but Rebecca loved Jacob.

29 Nowe Iaakob sod pottage, and Esau came from the fielde and was wearie.

And Jacob cooked pottage, and Esau came from the plain, fainting.

30 Then Esau sayd to Iaakob, Let me eate, I pray thee, of that pottage so red, for I am wearie. Therefore was his name called Edom.

And Esau said to Jacob, Let me taste of that red pottage, because I am fainting; therefore his name was called Edom.

31 And Iaakob sayd, Sell me euen nowe thy birthright.

And Jacob said to Esau, Sell me this day thy birthright.

32 And Esau sayd, Lo, I am almost dead, what is then this birthright to me?

And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and for what good does this birthright [belong] to me?

33 Iaakob then said, Sweare to me euen now. And he sware to him, and solde his birthright vnto Iaakob.

And Jacob said to him, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him; and Esau sold his birthright to Jacob.

34 Then Iaakob gaue Esau bread and pottage of lentiles: and he did eate and drinke, and rose vp, and went his way: So Esau contemned his 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.
