Chapter 25 Vulgate

   1 Abraham vero aliam duxit uxorem nomine Ceturam,
   2 quae peperit ei Zamran et Iecsan et Madan et Madian et Iesboc et Sue.
   3 Iecsan quoque genuit Saba et Dedan. Filii Dedan fuerunt Assurim et Latusim et Loommim.
   4 At vero ex Madian ortus est Epha et Opher et Henoch et Abida et Eldaa. Omnes hi filii Ceturae.
   5 Deditque Abraham cuncta, quae possederat, Isaac;
   6 filiis autem concubinarum suarum largitus est munera et separavit eos ab Isaac filio suo, dum adhuc ipse viveret, ad plagam orientalem.
   7 Fuerunt autem dies vitae Abrahae centum septuaginta quinque anni.
   8 Et deficiens mortuus est Abraham in senectute bona provectaeque aetatis et plenus dierum congregatusque est ad populum suum.
   9 Et sepelierunt eum Isaac et Ismael filii sui in spelunca Machpela, quae sita est in agro Ephron filii Seor Hetthaei e regione Mambre,
   10 quem emerat a filiis Heth. Ibi sepultus est ipse et Sara uxor eius.
   11 Et post obitum illius benedixit Deus Isaac filio eius, qui habitabat iuxta puteum Lahairoi.
   12 Hae sunt generationes Ismael filii Abrahae, quem peperit ei Agar Aegyptia famula Sarae.
   13 Et haec nomina filiorum Ismael in vocabulis et generationibus suis: primogenitus Ismaelis Nabaioth, dein Cedar et Adbeel et Mabsam,
   14 Masma quoque et Duma et Massa,
   15 Hadad et Thema, Iethur et Naphis et Cedma.
   16 Isti sunt filii Ismaelis, et haec nomina eorum per vicos et mansiones eorum: duodecim principes tribuum suarum.
   17 Et facti sunt anni vitae Ismaelis centum triginta septem; deficiens mortuus est et appositus ad populum suum.
   18 Habitaverunt autem ab Hevila usque Sur, quae respicit Aegyptum introeuntibus Assyriam. In faciem cunctorum fratrum suorum obiit.
   19 Hae sunt generationes Isaac filii Abraham: Abraham genuit Isaac;
   20 qui, cum quadraginta esset annorum, duxit uxorem Rebeccam filiam Bathuelis Aramaei de Paddanaram, sororem Laban Aramaei.
   21 Deprecatusque est Isaac Dominum pro uxore sua, eo quod esset sterilis. Qui exaudivit eum et dedit conceptum Rebeccae.
   22 Sed collidebantur in utero eius parvuli. Quae ait: "Si sic est, cur mihi?" Perrexitque, ut consuleret Dominum.
   23 Qui respondens ait: "Duae gentes sunt in utero tuo, et duo populi ex ventre tuo dividentur; populusque populum superabit, et maior serviet minori"
   24 Iam tempus pariendi venerat, et ecce gemini in utero eius.
   25 Qui primus egressus est rufus erat et totus quasi pallium pilosum; vocatumque est nomen eius Esau. Postea frater eius egrediens plantam Esau tenebat manu, et idcirco appellatum est nomen eius Iacob.
   26 Sexagenarius erat Isaac, quando nati sunt parvuli.
   27 Quibus adultis, factus est Esau vir gnarus venandi et homo agrestis; Iacob autem vir compositus et habitans in tabernaculis.
   28 Isaac amabat Esau, eo quod de venationibus illius libenter vesceretur; et Rebecca diligebat Iacob.
   29 Coxit autem Iacob pulmentum; ad quem, cum venisset Esau de agro lassus,
   30 ait: "Da mihi de coctione hac rufa, quia oppido lassus sum" Quam ob causam vocatum est nomen eius Edom (id est Rufus).
   31 Cui dixit Iacob: "Vende mihi prius primogenita tua"
   32 Ille respondit: "En morior; quid mihi proderunt primogenita?"
   33 Ait Iacob: "Iura ergo mihi" Iuravit et vendidit primogenita.
   34 Et sic, accepto pane et lentis edulio, comedit et bibit; surrexit et abiit parvipendens quod primogenita vendidisset.

King James Version

   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 begat 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 Abida, 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.
   8 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.
   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, and Sarah his wife.
   11 ¶ And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi.
   12 ¶ Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare 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: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people.
   18 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.
   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 intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
   22 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.
   23 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.
   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.
   26 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.
   27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
   28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
   29 And Jacob sod 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 me this day thy birthright.
   32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
   33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
   34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
