He lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, there
were camels coming.
024:064 Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac,
she dismounted from the camel.
024:065 She said to the servant, "Who is the man who is walking in
the field to meet us?" The servant said, "It is my master."
She took her veil, and covered herself.
024:066 The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
024:067 Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent,
and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. He loved her.
Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
025:001 Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.
025:002 She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
025:003 Jokshan became the father of Sheba, and Dedan. The sons
of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.
025:004 The sons of Midian: Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah.
All these were the children of Keturah.
025:005 Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac,
025:006 but to the sons of Abraham's concubines, Abraham gave gifts.
He sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived,
eastward, to the east country.
025:007 These are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived:
one hundred seventy-five years.
025:008 Abraham gave up the spirit, and died in a good old age,
an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.
025:009 Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah,
in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite,
which is before Mamre,
025:010 the field which Abraham purchased of the children of Heth.
Abraham was buried there with Sarah, his wife.
025:011 It happened after the death of Abraham that God blessed Isaac,
his son. Isaac lived by Beer Lahai Roi.
025:012 Now this is the history of the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son,
whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore to Abraham.
025:013 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names,
according to the order of their birth: the firstborn
of Ishmael, Nebaioth, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
025:014 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
025:015 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
025:016 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names,
by their villages, and by their encampments: twelve princes,
according to their nations.
025:017 These are the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred
thirty-seven years. He gave up the spirit and died,
and was gathered to his people.
025:018 They lived from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt, as you
go toward Assyria. He lived opposite all his relatives.
025:019 This is the history of the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son.
