Genesis 25
Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and
Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons
of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. And the sons of Midian;
Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. And
Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. 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. And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s
life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years. 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. 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; The field
which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and
Sarah his wife. And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God
blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi. Now these are the generations of Ishmael,
Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bare unto Abraham: 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, And Mishma, and Dumah,
and Massa, Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah: These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by
their castles; twelve princes according to their nations. 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. 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. And these are
the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac: 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. And Isaac intreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was intreated of him, and Rebekah
his wife conceived. And the children struggled together within her; and she
said, If it be so, why am I thus? And
she went to inquire of the Lord. 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. And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. And the first came out red, all over like
an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. 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. And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the
field; and Jacob was a plain man,
dwelling in tents. And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob. And
Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint: 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. And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. And Esau said, Behold, I
am at the point to die: and what
profit shall this birthright do to me? And Jacob said, Swear to me this day;
and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. 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.
All the days, even of the best and greatest saints, are not remarkable days; some slide on silently; such were these last days of Abraham.
