Genesis 25 (WEBP)

[1] Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.
[2] She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
[3] Jokshan became the father of Sheba, and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.
[4] The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
[5] Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac,
[6] but Abraham gave gifts to the sons of Abraham’s concubines. While he still lived, he sent them away from Isaac his son, eastward, to the east country.
[7] These are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived: one hundred seventy-five years.
[8] Abraham gave up his spirit, and died at a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.
[9] 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 near Mamre,
[10] the field which Abraham purchased from the children of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah, his wife.
[11] After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac, his son. Isaac lived by Beer Lahai Roi.
[12] Now this is the history of the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to Abraham.
[13] 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,
[14] Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
[15] Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
[16] These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments: twelve princes, according to their nations.
[17] These are the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred thirty-seven years. He gave up his spirit and died, and was gathered to his people.
[18] They lived from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria. He lived opposite all his relatives.
[19] This is the history of the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.
[20] Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.
[21] Isaac entreated Yahweh for his wife, because she was barren. Yahweh was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
[22] The children struggled together within her. She said, “If it is like this, why do I live?” She went to inquire of Yahweh.
[23] Yahweh said to her, “Two nations are in your womb. Two peoples will be separated from your body. The one people will be stronger than the other people. The elder will serve the younger.”
[24] When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
[25] The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau.
[26] After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel. He was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
[27] The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.
[28] Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate his venison. Rebekah loved Jacob.
[29] Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.
[30] Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with some of that red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom.
[31] Jacob said, “First, sell me your birthright.”
[32] Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”
[33] Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob.
[34] Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.

Genesis 25:30 “Edom” means “red”.

Young’s Literal Translation

Genesis 25 (YLT)

[1] And Abraham addeth and taketh a wife, and her name is Keturah;
[2] and she beareth to him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
[3] And Jokshan hath begotten Sheba and Dedan; and the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim;
[4] and the sons of Midian are Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah: all these are sons of Keturah.
[5] And Abraham giveth all that he hath to Isaac;
[6] and to the sons of the concubines whom Abraham hath, Abraham hath given gifts, and sendeth them away from Isaac his son (in his being yet alive) eastward, unto the east country.
[7] And these are the days of the years of the life of Abraham, which he lived, a hundred and seventy and five years;
[8] and Abraham expireth, and dieth in a good old age, aged and satisfied, and is gathered unto his people.
[9] And Isaac and Ishmael his sons bury him at the cave of Machpelah, at the field of Ephron, son of Zoar the Hittite, which is before Mamre-
[10] the field which Abraham bought from the sons of Heth-there hath Abraham been buried, and Sarah his wife.
[11] And it cometh to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blesseth Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelleth by the Well of the Living One, my Beholder.
[12] And these are births of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, hath borne to Abraham;
[13] and these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their births: first-born 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 sons of Ishmael, and these their names, by their villages, and by their towers; twelve princes according to their peoples.
[17] And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty and seven years; and he expireth, and dieth, and is gathered unto his people;
[18] and they tabernacle from Havilah unto Shur, which is before Egypt, in thy going towards Asshur; in the presence of all his brethren hath he fallen.
[19] And these are births of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham hath begotten Isaac;
[20] and Isaac is a son of forty years in his taking Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean, from Padan-Aram, sister of Laban the Aramaean, to him for a wife.
[21] And Isaac maketh entreaty to Jehovah before his wife, for she is barren: and Jehovah is entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceiveth,
[22] and the children struggle together within her, and she saith, ‘If it is right-why am I thus?’ and she goeth to seek Jehovah.
[23] And Jehovah saith to her, ‘Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples from thy bowels are parted; and the one people than the other people is stronger; and the elder doth serve the younger.’
[24] And her days to bear are fulfilled, and lo, twins are in her womb;
[25] and the first cometh out all red as a hairy robe, and they call his name Esau;
[26] and afterwards hath his brother come out, and his hand is taking hold on Esau’s heel, and one calleth his name Jacob; and Isaac is a son of sixty years in her bearing them.
[27] And the youths grew, and Esau is a man acquainted with hunting, a man of the field; and Jacob is a plain man, inhabiting tents;
[28] and Isaac loveth Esau, for his hunting is in his mouth; and Rebekah is loving Jacob.
[29] And Jacob boileth pottage, and Esau cometh in from the field, and he is weary;
[30] and Esau saith unto Jacob, ‘Let me eat, I pray thee, some of this red red thing, for I am weary;’ therefore hath one called his name Edom Red;
[31] and Jacob saith, ‘Sell to-day thy birthright to me.’
[32] And Esau saith, ‘Lo, I am going to die, and what is this to me-birthright?’
[33] and Jacob saith, ‘Swear to me to-day:’ and he sweareth to him, and selleth his birthright to Jacob;
[34] and Jacob hath given to Esau bread and pottage of lentiles, and he eateth, and drinketh, and riseth, and goeth; and Esau despiseth the birthright.
