chapter 25
1
And
Abraham married another wife, named Cetura:
2 Who bore to him Zamran, and Jecsan, and Madan, and
Madian, and Jesboc, and Sue.
3 Jecsan also begot Saba and Dadan. The children of
Dadan were Assurim, and Latusim, and Loomin.
4 But of Madian was born Epha, and Opher, and Henoch,
and Abida, and Eldaa: all these were the children of Cetura.
5 And Abraham gave all his possessions to Isaac.
6 And to the children of the concubines he gave gifts,
and separated them from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, to the east country.
7 And the days of Abraham's life were a hundred and
seventy-five years.
8 And decaying he died in a good old age, and having
lived a long time, and being full of days: and was gathered to his people.
9 And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the
double cave, which was situated in the field of Ephron the son of Seor the
Hethite, over against Mambre;
10 Which he had bought of the children of Heth: there
was he buried, and Sara his wife.
11 And after his death, God blessed Isaac his son, who
dwelt by the well named Of the living and seeing.
12 These are the generations of Ismael the son of Abraham,
whom Agar the Egyptian, Sara's servant, bore unto him:
13 And these are the names of his children according to
their calling and generations. The firstborn of Ismael was Nabajoth, then
Cedar, and Adbeel, and Mabsam.
14 And Masma, and Duma, and Massa,
15 Hadar, and Thema, and Jethur, and Naphis, and Cedma.
16 These are the sons of Ismael: and these are their
names by their castles and towns, twelve princes of their tribes.
17 And the years of Ismael's life were a hundred and
thirty-seven, and decaying he died, and was gathered unto his people.
18 And he dwelt from Hevila as far as Sur, which
looketh towards Egypt, to them that go towards the Assyrians. He died in the
presence of all his brethren.
19 These also are the generations of Isaac the son of
Abraham: Abraham begot Isaac:
20 Who when he was forty years old, took to wife
Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel the Syrian of Mesopotamia, sister to Laban.
21 And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because
she was barren; and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive.
22 But the children struggled in her womb: and she
said: If it were to be so with me, what need was there to conceive? And she
went to consult the Lord.
23 And he answering said: Two nations are in thy womb,
and two peoples shall be divided out of thy womb, and one people shall overcome
the other, and the elder shall serve the younger.
24 And when her time was come to be delivered, behold
twins were found in her womb.
25 He that came forth first was red, and hairy like a
skin: and his name was called Esau. Immediately the other coming forth, held
his brother's foot in his hand, and therefore he was called Jacob.
26 Isaac was threescore years old when the children
were born unto him.
27 And when they were grown up, Esau became a skillful
hunter, and a husbandman, but Jacob a plain man dwelt in tents.
28 Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his hunting: and
Rebecca loved Jacob.
29 And Jacob boiled Pottage: to whom Esau, coming faint
out of the field,
30 Said: Give me of this red pottage, for I am
exceeding faint. For which reason his name was called Edom.
31 And Jacob said to him: Sell me thy first birthright.
32 He answered: Lo I die, what will the first
birthright avail me.
33 Jacob said: Swear therefore to me. Esau swore to
him, and sold his first birthright.
34 And so taking bread and the pottage of lentils, he
ate, and drank, and went his way; making little account of having sold his
first birthright.
