1
Then again Abraham took a 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, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts , and 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, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
8
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.
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 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 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 Padan-aram , 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 inquire 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 .
25
And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau .
26
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.
27
And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field ; and Jacob was a plain man , dwelling in tents .
28
And Isaac loved Esau , because he did eat of his venison : but Rebekah loved Jacob .
29
And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came 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 this day thy birthright.
32
And Esau said , Behold, I am at the point to die : and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
33
And Jacob said , Swear to me this day ; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob .
34
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.
