Genesis 25

vayyosef avraham vayyiqqakh isha ushemah qeturah

Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah.

vatteled lo et-zimran ve'et-yoqshan ve'et-medan ve'et-midyan ve'et-yishbaq ve'et-shuakh

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

veyoqshan yalad et-sheva ve'et-dedan uvene dedan hayu ashurim uletushim ule'ummim

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

uvene midyan efah va'efer vakhanokh va'avida ve'elda'ah kol-elleh bene qeturah

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

vayyitten avraham et-kol-asher-lo leyitskhaq

Abraham willed all that he owned to Isaac;

velivne happilagshim asher le'avraham natan avraham mattanot vayeshallekhem me'al yitskhaq beno be'odennu khay qedemah el-erets qedem

but to Abraham’s sons by concubines Abraham gave gifts while he was still living, and he sent them away from his son Isaac eastward, to the land of the East.

ve'elleh yeme shene-khayye avraham asher-khay me'at shanah veshivim shanah vekhamesh shanim

This was the total span of Abraham’s life: one hundred and seventy-five years.

vayyigva vayyamot avraham besevah tovah zaqen vesavea vayye'asef el-ammayw

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

vayyiqberu oto yitskhaq veyishma'el banayw el-me'arat hammakhpelah el-sedeh efron ben-tsokhar hakhitti asher al-pene mamre

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

hassadeh asher-qanah avraham me'et bene-khet shammah qubbar avraham vesarah ishto

the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites; there Abraham was buried, and Sarah his wife.

vayehi akhare mot avraham vayevarekh elohim et-yitskhaq beno vayyeshev yitskhaq im-be'er lakhay ro'i

After the death of Abraham, God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac settled near Beer-lahai-roi.

ve'elleh toledot yishma'el ben-avraham asher yaledah hagar hammitsrit shifkhat sarah le'avraham

This is the line of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s slave, bore to Abraham.

ve'elleh shemot bene yishma'el bishmotam letoledotam bekhor yishma'el nevayot veqedar ve'adbe'el umivsam

These 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,

umishma vedumah umassa

Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

khadad vetema yetur nafish vaqedemah

Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedmah.

elleh hem bene yishma'el ve'elleh shemotam bekhatsrehem uvetirotam shenem-asar nesi'im le'ummotam

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

ve'elleh shene khayye yishma'el me'at shanah usheloshim shanah vesheva shanim vayyigva vayyamot vayye'asef el-ammayw

These 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.—

vayyishkenu mekhavilah ad-shur asher al-pene mitsrayim bo'akhah ashurah al-pene khol-ekhayw nafal

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

ve'elleh toledot yitskhaq ben-avraham avraham holid et-yitskhaq

This is the story of Isaac, son of Abraham. Abraham begot Isaac.

vayehi yitskhaq ben-arba'im shanah beqakhto et-rivqah bat-betu'el ha'arammi mippaddan aram akhot lavan ha'arammi lo le'isha

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

vayyetar yitskhaq la-Adonai lenokhakh ishto ki aqarah hiv vayye'ater lo Adonai vattahar rivqah ishto

Isaac pleaded with GOD on behalf of his wife, because she was infertile; and GOD responded to his plea, and his wife Rebekah conceived.

vayyitrotsetsu habbanim beqirbah vattomer im-ken lammah zeh anokhi vattelekh lidrosh et-Adonai

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

vayyomer Adonai lah shene (gyym) [goyim] bevitnekh ushene le'ummim mimme'ayikh yipparedu ule'om milom ye'emats verav ya'avod tsa'ir

and GOD 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.”

vayyimle'u yameha laledet vehinneh tomim bevitnah

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

vayyetse harishon admoni kullo ke'adderet se'ar vayyiqre'u shemo esav

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

ve'akhare-khen yatsa akhiv veyado okhezet ba'aqev esav vayyiqra shemo ya'aqov veyitskhaq ben-shishim shanah beledet otam

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

vayyigdelu hanne'arim vayehi esav ish yodea tsayid ish sadeh veya'aqov ish tam yoshev ohalim

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

vayye'ehav yitskhaq et-esav ki-tsayid befiv verivqah ohevet et-ya'aqov

Isaac favored Esau because he had a taste for game; but Rebekah favored Jacob.

vayyazed ya'aqov nazid vayyavo esav min-hassadeh vehu ayef

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

vayyomer esav el-ya'aqov hale'iteni na min-ha'adom ha'adom hazzeh ki ayef anokhi al-ken qara-shemo edom

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

vayyomer ya'aqov mikhrah khayyom et-bekhoratekha li

Jacob said, “First sell me your birthright.”

vayyomer esav hinneh anokhi holekh lamut velammah-zzeh li bekhorah

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

vayyomer ya'aqov hishave'ah li kayyom vayyishava lo vayyimkor et-bekhorato leya'aqov

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

veya'aqov natan le'esav lekhem unezid adashim vayyokhal vayyesht vayyaqom vayyelakh vayyivez esav et-habbekhorah

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