01:025:008 Then 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.
01:025:009 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of
Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which
is before Mamre;
01:025:010 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there
was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
01:025:011 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God
blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
01:025:012 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son,
whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
01:025:013 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their
names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael,
Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
01:025:014 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
01:025:015 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
01:025:016 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by
their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their
nations.
01:025:017 And 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.
01:025:018 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt,
as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his
brethren.
01:025:019 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son:
Abraham begat Isaac:
01:025:020 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife,
the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban
the Syrian.
01:025:021 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was
barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife
conceived.
01:025:022 And the children struggled together within her; and she
said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.
01:025:023 And the LORD said unto 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.
01:025:024 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold,
there were twins in her womb.
01:025:025 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment;
and they called his name Esau.
01:025:026 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold
on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore
years old when she bare them.
01:025:027 And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of
the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
01:025:028 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but
Rebekah loved Jacob.
01:025:029 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he
was faint:
01:025:030 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.
