Genesis
Chapter
25
1
Then again Abraham took a wife,
and
her name was Keturah.
2
And she bare him
Zimran,
and
Jokshan,
and
Medan,
and
Midian,
and
Ishbak,
and
Shuah.
3
And Jokshan sired/'caused the birth of' {yalad}
Sheba,
and
Dedan.
And
the sons of Dedan were
Asshurim,
and
Letushim,
and
Leummim.
4
And the sons of Midian:
Ephah,
and
Epher,
and
Hanoch,
and
Abidah,
and
Eldaah.
All these were the children of Keturah.
5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
6
But unto the sons of the concubines,
which
Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts,
and
sent them away from Isaac his son,
while
he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.
7
And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life
which
he lived,
an
hundred threescore and fifteen years {175 years}.
8
Then Abraham 'exhaled his last breathe' {gava`},
and
died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years
and
was gathered to his people.
9
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.
10
The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth . . .
there
was Abraham buried with Sarah his wife.
11
And it came to pass after the death of Abraham,
that
'Elohiym/Godhead blessed his son Isaac
and
Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
12
Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son . . .
whom
Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore unto Abraham: 13
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, 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,
an
hundred and thirty and seven years {137}
and
he 'exhaled his last breathe' and died;
and
was gathered unto his people.
18
And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt,
as
you go toward Assyria . . .
and
he died in the presence of all his brethren.
19
And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son:
Abraham
sired/'caused the birth of' {yalad} Isaac:
20
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.
21
And Isaac entreated/'pleaded to' Jehovah/God for his wife,
because
she was barren.
And
Jehovah/God 'answered his plea',
and
Rebekah his wife conceived.
22
And the children struggled together within her; and she said,
"If
it be so, why am I this way?"
And she went to inquire of Jehovah/God.
23
And Jehovah/God said unto her,
"Two
nations are in your womb,
and
two manner of people shall be separated from your 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 came out red,
all
over like an hairy garment . . .
and
they called his name Esau {name means 'hairy'}.
26
And after that came his brother out,
and
his hand took hold on Esau's heel
and
his name was called Jacob
{name means 'heel holder' and supplanter - came to mean chiseler}.
And Isaac was threescore years old {60} when she bore them.
27 And the boys grew.
And Esau was a cunning hunter . . . a man of the field.
And
Jacob was a 'spiritually mature'/complete {tam} man . . .
dwelling
in prosperity {yashab} in 'nomadic tents' {'ohel}.
28
And Isaac loved Esau . . .
because
he did eat of his venison.
But
Rebekah loved Jacob.
{not good to show favoritism for one child over the other - will
always cause strife between them}
29 And Jacob boiled up pottage/soup.
And
Esau came from the field, and he was exhausted/weary.
{Esau was a hunter out hunting unsuccessfully apparently. He was
mentally and physically exhausted - and very very hungry}
30
And Esau said to Jacob,
"Feed
me, please/'I pray you',
with
that same red/ruddy {soup/pottage} . . .
for
I am exhausted/weary {starving to death}.
Therefore
was his name called Edom
{name means 'red' - Esau had red hair at birth, now is giving up his
heritage for a bowl of red-leafed vegetable soup - His
descendents will be called 'Edomites'}.
31 And Jacob said, "Sell me this day your birthright."
32
And Esau said,
"Behold,
I am at the point of death.
What profit shall this birthright do to me?"
33
And Jacob said,
"Swear
to me this day."
And he {Esau} swore unto him {Jacob}.
And he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils.
And he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way.
Thus Esau 'regarded with contempt' {bazah} his birthright.
