1
And Abraham took another 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, that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts . And he 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, a hundred threescore and fifteen years.
8
And 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 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 before Mamre .
10
The field which Abraham purchased of the children of Heth . There was Abraham buried , and Sarah his wife .
11
And it came to pass after the death of Abraham , that God blessed Isaac his son . And Isaac dwelt by Beer-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 first-born of Ishmael , Nebaioth , and Kedar , and Adbeel, and Mibsam ,
14
and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
15
Hadad, and 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
And these are the years of the life of Ishmael , a 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. He abode over against 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 , the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan-aram , the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife .
21
And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife , because she was barren . And Jehovah was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22
And the children struggled together within her. And she said , If it be so, wherefore do I live? And she went to inquire of Jehovah .
23
And Jehovah said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb , And Two peoples 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 forth red, all over like a hairy garment. And they called his name Esau .
26
And after that came forth his brother , and his hand had 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 skilful hunter, a man of the field . And Jacob was a quiet man , dwelling in tents .
28
Now Isaac loved Esau , because he did eat of his venison . And Rebekah loved Jacob .
29
And Jacob boiled pottage. And Esau came in 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 first thy birthright.
32
And Esau said , Behold, I am about to die . And what profit shall the birthright do to me?
33
And Jacob said , Swear to me first. And he sware unto him. And he sold his birthright unto Jacob .
34
And Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils . And he did eat and drink , and rose up , and went his way . So Esau despised his birthright.
