Genesis 25:9-24
-
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 Lahairoi.
-
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 Padanaram, 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.
