And Abraham added, and took a woman , and her name was Keturah .
2
And for him she gave··birth ··to Zimran , and Jokshan , and Medan , and Midian , and Ishbak , and Shuach.

4
And the sons of Midian : Ephah , and Epher, and Enoch , and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the 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 he sent · them ·away from being by◦ Isaac his son , when he was still living , eastward to▵ the land of the east.
7
And these are the days of the years of the lives of Abraham which he lived; a hundred years, and seventy years, and five years.
8
And Abraham expired and died with good gray··hairs, old and sated of days*, and was gathered to▵ his peoples.
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 by◦ the face of Mamre ;
10
the field which Abraham bought from◦ the sons of Heth ; there was Abraham buried , and Sarah his wife .
11
And it was, after the death of Abraham that God blessed Isaac his son ; and Isaac dwelt at Beer-lahai-roi.
12
And these are the births of Ishmael the son of Abraham , whom Hagar the Egyptian◦, Sarah ’s handmaid , gave··birth for Abraham .
13
And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael , by their names , according··to▵ their births: the firstborn of Ishmael , Nebaioth ; and Kedar , and Adhbeel, and Mibsam ;

17
And these are the years of the life of Ishmael , a hundred years, and thirty years, and seven years; and he expired and died , and was gathered to▵ his peoples.
18
And they resided from Havilah even··to Shur , who is upon the faces of Egypt , in coming toward Assyria; he settled* against the faces of all his brothers .
19
And these are the births of Isaac , the son of Abraham ; Abraham begot Isaac .
20
And Isaac was a son of forty years when he took Rebekah , the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean, of Paddan-aram , the sister of Laban the Aramean, to himself for a woman .
21
And Isaac supplicated to Jehovah on account of his woman , for she◦ was barren , and Jehovah was supplicated for him, and Rebekah his woman conceived.
22
And the sons clashed··with··each··other in the midst··of her; and she said , If so, why am I▵ thus? And she went to inquire of Jehovah .
23
And Jehovah said to her, Two nations are in thy belly , and Two peoples ◦ shall be separated from thy bowels, and the one people ◦ shall prevail above◦ the other people ◦, and the greater◦ shall serve the lesser◦.
24
And her days were··fulfilled to give··birth , and behold twins were in her belly .
25
And the first came··out all of him ruddy as a mantle◦ of hair , and they called his name Esau .
26
And after that came··forth his brother , and his hand seized on◦ Esau ’s heel*, and he called his name Jacob*; and Isaac was a son of sixty years when she gave··birth to them.
27
And the lads grew··up; and Esau was a man ◦ knowing hunting , a man ◦ of the field ; and Jacob was a perfect man ◦, dwelling in tents .
28
And Isaac loved Esau , for his hunting was in his mouth ; and Rebekah loved Jacob .
29
And Jacob stewed a stew, and Esau came from the field , and he◦ was faint.
30
And Esau said to▵ Jacob , Let me sup, I pray◦, of the red, this red, for I▵ am faint; therefore he called his name Edom .
31
And Jacob said , Sell as··it··were today* thy birthright to me.
32
And Esau said , Behold I▵ am going◦ to die , and for what is this birthright to me?
33
And Jacob said , Promise to me as··it··were today ; and he promised to him, and he sold his birthright to Jacob .
34
And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils ; and he did eat and drink , and rose ··up and went; and Esau despised the birthright.
