Abraham's
Death |
|
|
 |
|
Genesis 25:1
|
|
Now Abraham took another wife, whose name was
Keturah. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:2
|
|
She bore to him Zimran and Jokshan and Medan
and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 25:3
|
|
Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan.
And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 25:4
|
|
The sons of Midian were Ephah and Epher and
Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 25:5
|
|
Now Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac; |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 25:6
|
|
but to the sons of his concubines, Abraham gave
gifts while he was still living, and sent them away from his son Isaac eastward,
to the land of the east. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 25:7
|
|
These are all the years of Abraham's life that
he lived, one hundred and seventy-five years. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:8
|
|
Abraham breathed his last and died in a ripe
old age, an old man and satisfied with life; and he was gathered to his people.
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:9
|
|
Then his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in
the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, facing
Mamre, |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:10
|
|
the field which Abraham purchased from the sons
of Heth; there Abraham was buried with Sarah his wife. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:11
|
|
It came about after the death of Abraham, that
God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac lived by Beer-lahai-roi. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Descendants
of Ishmael |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:12
|
|
Now these are the records of the generations
of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's maid, bore to Abraham;
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:13
|
|
and these are the names of the sons of Ishmael,
by their names, in the order of their birth: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael,
and Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:14
|
|
and Mishma and Dumah and Massa, |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:15
|
|
Hadad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish and Kedemah.
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:16
|
|
These are the sons of Ishmael and these are
their names, by their villages, and by their camps; twelve princes according to
their tribes. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:17
|
|
These are the years of the life of Ishmael,
one hundred and thirty-seven years; and he breathed his last and died, and was
gathered to his people. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:18
|
|
They settled from Havilah to Shur which is east
of Egypt as one goes toward Assyria; he settled in defiance of all his relatives. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Isaac's
Sons |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:19
|
|
Now these are the records of the generations
of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham became the father of Isaac; |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 25:20
|
|
and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah,
the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean,
to be his wife. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 25:21
|
|
Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife,
because she was barren; and the LORD answered him and Rebekah his wife conceived.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:22
|
|
But the children struggled together within her;
and she said, "If it is so, why then am I this way?" So she went to inquire of
the LORD. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:23
|
|
The LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your
womb; And two peoples will be separated from your body; And one people shall be
stronger than the other; And the older shall serve the younger." |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:24
|
|
When her days to be delivered were fulfilled,
behold, there were twins in her womb. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:25
|
|
Now the first came forth red, all over like
a hairy garment; and they named him Esau. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:26
|
|
Afterward his brother came forth with his hand
holding on to Esau's heel, so his name was called Jacob; and Isaac was sixty years
old when she gave birth to them. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:27
|
|
When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful
hunter, a man of the field, but Jacob was a peaceful man, living in tents. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:28
|
|
Now Isaac loved Esau, because he had a taste
for game, but Rebekah loved Jacob. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:29
|
|
When Jacob had cooked stew, Esau came in from
the field and he was famished; |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:30
|
|
and Esau said to Jacob, "Please let me have
a swallow of that red stuff there, for I am famished." Therefore his name was
called Edom. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:31
|
|
But Jacob said, "First sell me your birthright."
|
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:32
|
|
Esau said, "Behold, I am about to die; so of
what use then is the birthright to me?" |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:33
|
|
And Jacob said, "First swear to me"; so he swore
to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 25:34
|
|
Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew;
and he ate and drank, and rose and went on his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright. |
