1
And Abraham took another wife named Keturah .
2
And she bore him Zimran , and Jokshan , and Medan , and Midian , and Ishbak , and Shuah .
3
And Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan ; and the sons of Dedan were the Asshurim, and the Letushim , and the Leummim .
4
And the sons of Midian were Ephah , and Epher, and Enoch , and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were sons of Keturah .
5
And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac .
6
And to the sons of the concubines that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts , and, while he yet lived, sent them away from Isaac his son , eastward to the east country .
7
And these are the days of the years of Abraham 's life which he lived: a hundred and seventy-five years.
8
And Abraham expired and died in a good old age, old and full [of days]; and was gathered to his peoples.
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 was opposite to Mamre --
10
the field that Abraham had 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 at Beer-lahai-roi.
12
And these are the generations of Ishmael , Abraham 's son , whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah 's bondwoman, bore to Abraham .
13
And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their names according to their generations: Nebaioth , the firstborn of Ishmael ; and Kedar , and Adbeel, and Mibsam ,
14
and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
15
Hadad and Tema , Jetur , Naphish and Kedmah .
16
These are the sons of Ishmael , and these are their names , in their hamlets and their encampments -- twelve princes of their peoples.
17
And these are the years of the life of Ishmael : a hundred and thirty -seven years; and he expired and died , and was gathered to his peoples.
18
And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur , which is opposite to Egypt , as one goes towards Assyria. He settled before the face of all his brethren .
19
And these are the generations of Isaac , Abraham 's son . Abraham begot Isaac .
20
And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebecca as wife , the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-Aram , the sister of Laban the Syrian.
21
And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife , because she was barren ; and Jehovah was entreated of him, and Rebecca 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 inquire of Jehovah .
23
And Jehovah said to her, Two nations are in thy womb , And Two peoples shall be separated from thy bowels; And 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 out red -- all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau .
26
And after that came his brother out; and his hand took hold of Esau's heel ; and his name was called Jacob . And Isaac was sixty years old when they were born .
27
And the boys grew, and Esau became a man skilled in hunting , a man of the field ; and Jacob was a homely man , dwelling in tents .
28
And Isaac loved Esau , because venison was to his taste; and Rebecca loved Jacob .
29
And Jacob had cooked a dish; and Esau came from the field , and he was faint.
30
And Esau said to Jacob , Feed me, I pray thee, with the red -- the red thing there, for I am faint. Therefore was his name called Edom .
31
And Jacob said , Sell me now thy birthright.
32
And Esau said , Behold, I am going to die , and of what use can the birthright be to me?
33
And Jacob said , Swear unto me now. And he swore unto him, and sold his birthright to Jacob .
34
And Jacob gave Esau bread and the dish of lentils ; and he ate and drank , and rose up and went away. Thus Esau despised the birthright.
