Genesis 25

¹And Abraham married another wife named Cetura:

²Which bare him Zamran, and Jecsan, and Madan, and Madian, and Jesboc, and Sue.

³Jecsan also begat Saba & Dadan. The Children of Dadan were Assurim, and Latusim, and Loomim.

⁴But also of Madian was born Epha, and Opher, and Henoch, and Abida, and Eldaa: all these were the children of Cetura.

⁵And Abraham gave all his possessions to Isaac:

⁶and to the children of his concubines he gave gifts, and separated them from Isaac his son, whilst himself yet lived, to the east country.

⁷And the days of Abraham's life were an hundred seventy and five years.

⁸And decaying died in a good old age, and having lived a great time, and being full of days and was gathered to his people.

⁹And there buried him Isaac and Ismael his sons in the double cave, which was situated in the field of Ephron the son of Seor the Hethite, over-against Mambre,

¹⁰which he had bought of the children of Heth: there was he buried, and Sara his wife.

¹¹And after his death God blessed Isaac his son, who dwelled beside the well of the Living & Seeing, so named.

¹²These are the generations of Ismael the son of Abraham, whom Agar the Ægyptian bare him, Sara's servant: &

¹³These are the names of his children according to their calling and generations. The first begotten of Ishmael Nabajoth, then Cedar, and Adbeel, and Mabsam,

¹⁴Masma also, and Duma, and Massa,

¹⁵Hadar, and Thema, and Iethur, and Naphis, and Cedma.

¹⁶These are the sons of Ismael: and these are their names by their castles and towns, twelve Princes of their tribes.

¹⁷And the years of Ismael's life came to an hundred thirty seven, and decaying died, and was put unto his people.

¹⁸And he dwelt from Hevila even to Sur, which looketh towards Ægypt, as they enter to the Assyrians, before the face of all his brethren died he.

¹⁹These also are the generations of Isaac the son of Abraham: Abraham begat Isaac:

²⁰Who when he was forty years old, took to wife Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel the Syrian of Mesopotamia, sister to Laban.

²¹And Isaac besought our Lord for his wife, because she was barren: who heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive.

²²But the little ones struggled in her womb; who said: If it should be so with me, what need was there to conceive? And she went to consult our Lord.

²³Who 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.

²⁴Now her time was come to be delivered, and behold twins were found in her womb.

²⁵He that came forth first, was red, and all hairy in manner of a skin: and his name was called Esau. Immediately the other coming forth, held his brother's plant in his hand: and therefore he called him Jacob.

²⁶Threescore years old was Isaac, when the little ones were born unto him.

²⁷Who being grown up, Esau became a man cunning in hunting, & a husband man: but Jacob a plain man dwelled in tents:

²⁸Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his hunting: and Rebecca loved Jacob.

²⁹& Jacob boiled broth: to whom Esau being come faint out of the field,

³⁰said: Give me of this red broth, because I am exceeding faint. For which cause his name was called Edom.

³¹To whom Jacob said: sell me thy first-birth-right.

³²He answered, Lo I die, what will the first-birth-right avail me?

³³Jacob said: Swear therefore to me. Esau sware to him, and sold his first-birth-right.

³⁴And so taking bread and the rice broth, did eat, and drink, and went his way; little esteeming that he had sold his first-birth-right.
