Genesis 25 [Context] [Commentary] [Map] 
|
| 12. |
Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore to Abraham. |
| 13. |
And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: The first-born of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, |
| 14. |
And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, |
| 15. |
Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah: |
| 16. |
These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations. |
| 17. |
And these are the years of the life of Ishmael; a hundred and thirty and seven years: and he expired and died, and was gathered to his people. |
| 18. |
And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest towards Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren. |
| 19. |
And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac: |
| 20. |
And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian. |
| 21. |
And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. |
| 22. |
And the children struggled together within her: and she said, If it is so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of the LORD. |
| 23. |
And the LORD said to her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels: and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. |
| 24. |
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. |
| 25. |
And the first was born red, all over like a hairy garment: and they called his name Esau. |
| 26. |
And after that his brother was born, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. |
| 27. |
And the boys grew: and Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man dwelling in tents. |
| 28. |
And Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob. |
| 29. |
And Jacob boiled pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint. |
| 30. |
And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom. |
| 31. |
And Jacob said, Sell to me this day thy birth-right. |
| 32. |
And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birth-right bring to me? |
| 33. |
And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him: and he sold his birth-right to Jacob. |
| 34. |
Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way: thus Esau despised his birth-right. |
