Chapter 25

1Avraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah.

אוַיֹּ֧סֶף אַבְרָהָ֛ם וַיִּקַּ֥ח אִשָּׁ֖ה וּשְׁמָ֥הּ קְטוּרָֽה׃

2She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

3Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were the Assyrians, the Letushim, and the Leummim.

4The descendants of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Enoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.

5Avraham willed all that he owned to Yitzchak;

הוַיִּתֵּ֧ן אַבְרָהָ֛ם אֶת־כׇּל־אֲשֶׁר־ל֖וֹ לְיִצְחָֽק׃

6but to Avraham's sons by concubines Avraham gave gifts while he was still living, and he sent them away from his son Yitzchak eastward, to the land of the East.

7This was the total span of Avraham's life: one hundred and seventy-five years.

8And Avraham breathed his last, dying at a good ripe age, old and contented; and he was gathered to his kin.

9His sons Yitzchak and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, facing Mamre,

10the field that Avraham had bought from the Hittites; there Avraham was buried, and Sara his wife.

11After the death of Avraham, Hashem blessed his son Yitzchak. And Yitzchak settled near Beer-lahai-roi.

12This is the line of Ishmael, Avraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sara's slave, bore to Avraham.

13These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, in the order of their birth: Nebaioth, the first-born of Ishmael, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

16These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names by their villages and by their encampments: twelve chieftains of as many tribes.

17These were the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred and thirty-seven years; then he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his kin.

18They dwelt from Havilah, by Shur, which is close to Egypt, all the way to Assyria; they camped alongside all their kinsmen.

19This is the story of Yitzchak, son of Avraham. Avraham begot Yitzchak.

יטוְאֵ֛לֶּה תּוֹלְדֹ֥ת יִצְחָ֖ק בֶּן־אַבְרָהָ֑ם אַבְרָהָ֖ם הוֹלִ֥יד אֶת־יִצְחָֽק׃

20Yitzchak was forty years old when he took to wife Rivka, daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, sister of Laban the Aramean.

vai-YA-hee yitz-KHAK ben-ar-BA-im sha-NAH b'-ka-KH'-to et riv-KAH bat b'-tu-EL ha-a-ra-MEE mi-pa-DAN a-raM a-KHOT la-VAN ha-a-ra-MEE lo l'-i-SHAH

21Yitzchak pleaded with Hashem on behalf of his wife, because she was barren; and Hashem responded to his plea, and his wife Rivka conceived.

22But the children struggled in her womb, and she said, “If so, why do I exist?” She went to inquire of Hashem,

vai-yi-t'-ROTZ-tzu ha-ba-NEEM b'-kir-BAH va-TO-mer im-KAYN, la-MAH ZEH a-NO-khee, va-TE-lekh lid-ROSH et a-do-NAI

23and Hashem answered her, “Two nations are in your womb, Two separate peoples shall issue from your body; One people shall be mightier than the other, And the older shall serve the younger.”

24When her time to give birth was at hand, there were twins in her womb.

25The first one emerged red, like a hairy mantle all over; so they named him Esau.

26Then his brother emerged, holding on to the heel of Esau; so they named him Yaakov. Yitzchak was sixty years old when they were born.

27When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the outdoors; but Yaakov was a mild man who stayed in camp.

28Yitzchak favored Esau because he had a taste for game; but Rivka favored Yaakov.

29Once when Yaakov was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the open, famished.

30And Esau said to Yaakov, “Give me some of that red stuff to gulp down, for I am famished”—which is why he was named Edom.

31Yaakov said, “First sell me your birthright.”

32And Esau said, “I am at the point of death, so of what use is my birthright to me?”

33But Yaakov said, “Swear to me first.” So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Yaakov.

34Yaakov then gave Esau bread and lentil stew; he ate and drank, and he rose and went away. Thus did Esau spurn the birthright.
