Genesis 25
25
1And Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah. 2And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. 3And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. 4And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. 5And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. 6But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country. 7And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years. 8And 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. 9And 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; 10the field which Abraham purchased of the children of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
11And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi. 12Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham: 13and 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, 14and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa; 15Hadad, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah: 16these are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments; twelve princes according to their nations. 17And 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. 18And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: he abode in the presence of all his brethren.
19And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac: 20and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife. 21And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, wherefore do I live? And she went to inquire of the LORD. 23And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples shall be separated even from thy bowels: And the one people shall be stronger than the other people; And the elder shall serve the younger. 24And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25And the first came forth red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. 26And after that came forth his brother, and his hand had hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them. 27And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. 28Now Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: and Rebekah loved Jacob.
29And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came in from the field, and he was faint: 30and Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom. 31And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. 32And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall the birthright do to me? 33And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. 34And Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: so Esau despised his birthright.

The Death of Abraham
1Ch 1:32–33
1Then Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. 2And she bore to him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. # 1Ch 1:32–33 3Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Ashurites, the Letushites, and the Leummites. 4The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanok, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah.
5Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac. # Ge 24:36 6But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, # Ge 21:14 and while he was still living, he sent them away from his son Isaac eastward to the east country. # Jdg 6:3
7These are the years of Abraham’s life that he lived: one hundred and seventy-five years. # Ge 12:4 8Then Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age, an old man and full of years; # Ge 15:15 and he was gathered to his people. # Ge 25:17; 49:33 9His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre, # Ge 35:29; 50:13 10the field that Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth. # Ge 23:16 There Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah. # Ge 49:31 11After the death of Abraham, God blessed his son Isaac. Isaac lived at Beer Lahai Roi. # Ge 16:14; 24:62
Sons of Ishmael
1Ch 1:29–31
12These are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham.
13These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, # 1Ch 1:29–31 by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, and then Kedar, # Isa 60:7 Adbeel, Mibsam, 14Mishma, Dumah, Massa, 15Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, # 1Ch 5:19 and Kedemah. 16These were the sons of Ishmael, and these were their names, by their towns and their settlements, twelve princes according to their peoples. # Ge 17:20 17These were the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred and thirty-seven years. He breathed his last and died; and he was gathered to his people. 18They lived from Havilah as far as Shur, # Ge 20:1 which is east of Egypt, as you go toward Assyria. He died in the presence of all his relatives. # Ge 16:12
The Births of Jacob and Esau
19These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son. # Mt 1:2
Abraham was the father of Isaac. 20Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah as his wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian. # Ge 22:23; 24:29, 67
21Now Isaac pleaded with the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord granted his plea, # 1Ch 5:20; 2Ch 33:13 and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22But the children struggled together within her, and she said, “If all is well, why am I like this?” So she went to inquire of the Lord. # 1Sa 9:9; 10:22
23Then the Lord said to her,
“Two nations are in your womb,
and two peoples will be separated from your body;
one people will be stronger than the other,
and the older will serve the younger.” # Ge 27:29, 40
24Now when the time of her delivery came, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment, # Ge 27:11, 16 and they called his name Esau. 26After that his brother came out, and his hand took hold of Esau’s heel, # Hos 12:3 so he was named Jacob. # Ge 27:36 Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
27So the boys grew. Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a calm man, living in tents. # Heb 11:9 28Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his game, # Ge 27:4, 19 but Rebekah loved Jacob. # Mal 1:2–3; Ro 9:13
Esau Sells His Birthright
29Now Jacob cooked a stew; and Esau came in from the field and he was famished. 30So Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me some of that red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom.
31Then Jacob said, “First sell me your birthright.”
32Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die; of what use is the birthright to me?”
33Then Jacob said, “Swear to me this day.” So he swore to him, and he sold his birthright to Jacob. # Ge 27:36; Heb 12:16
34Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew. Then he ate and drank, arose, and went his way.
Thus Esau despised his birthright.
